he said it would be weird having Fallon call him Black or Black Thought on national tv in front of millions of people who dont know that is his name. So to avoid confusion he uses Tariq on the show.

they will just see and hear Jimmy Fallon calling a black man Black. Even when the show is 10 years old and the regular viewing audience knows his stage name is Black Thought there will still be new viewers. Hearing a white man call a black man black. You think they want to deal with those letters, calls, emails every 6 months?

Now if people have a problem with Jimmy saying, "Yo Black, hit me with that song." Then they have has bigger issues with self.
