“Yo who your top 5? Jay, Biggie, Pac, Nas? I ain’t tryna hear another name if it’s not mine.” -Black Thought on Statik Selektah’s “The Imperial.
Nearly 30 years deep and Black Thought remains in the discussion of MC's who've carved a niche in the Best MC category.

Respect to Styles P & 9th Wonder who hold down their end of the song, but this is definitely Black Thoughts battlefield.
