Holy Sweet Baby Jesus Black Thought Killed This “Bird’s Eye View” Posted by Nathan S. on 04/16/13 | Filed under Raekwon, Joey Badass, Statik Selektah, Black Thought

God I hate doing the whole "most underrated" thing, but...do you hear Black Thought on this "Bird's Eye View" shit? Do you? Holy sweet baby jesus. He's rhyming next to one absolute legend, Raekwon, and Joey Bada$$, a young cat who's got some serious rap firepower as well, and he absolutely First 48ed this. "My sonogram is an image of a gun in the womb / I was soon to be doper than heroin in a spoon". Goddamn, applaud that man.

I don't want to make this entirely about Black Thought, as I said The Chef and Joey both more than represented, and Statik Selektah continues to be one of the most consistently dope producers working, but....there's such a crazy gap between how good Thought is and how often he gets mentioned in best rapper alive discussions.

Anyway...those hungry for more dopeness can cop Statik's "Extended Play" album, due out June 18, and cop "Bird's Eye View" on iTunes right here. In the meantime, enjoy...
