Black Thought blew everyone away with an impromptu freestyle over Redman’s classic track ‘Da Goodness,’ earning a nod of approval from fellow rapper Common. This unexpected lyrical session was shared by DJ J. Period on Thursday, July 18, capturing the magic backstage at the Roots Picnic.

But that wasn’t the weekend’s only highlight. Black Thought, Common, and Freeway joined forces with Method Man and Redman for a star-studded remix of ‘4,3,2,1’ during the festival. Originally from LL Cool J’s 1997 album ‘Phenomenon,’ the track got a fresh spin thanks to these hip-hop heavyweights.

This remix took place during J. Period’s Live Mixtape set, where Black Thought continued to flaunt his skills. He dropped new verses over iconic beats like Wu-Tang Clan’s ‘Protect Ya Neck,’ Method Man’s ‘Bring the Pain,’ and Redman’s ‘Tonight’s Da Night,’ proving his lyrical prowess time and again.

Following the epic remix session, Black Thought kept the momentum going. He flowed over Raekwon’s ‘Ice Cream’ and GZA’s ‘Shadowboxin,’ displaying his versatility and unwavering talent. This wasn’t just a performance; it was a showcase of his command over hip-hop’s golden tracks.

Black Thought’s recent collaborations also include a feature on ‘All Kind of Ideas’ from Common and Pete Rock’s joint album ‘The Auditorium Vol. 1.’ Although he doesn’t have a verse on the track, his influence is undeniable. Pete Rock raps with lines like, ‘Keep your top five, I’m God’s favorite producer,’ adding layers to the track.

Common also shines on the track with his verse, ‘Rack focus to the Black Moses that’s light-skinned,’ further cementing their status as hip-hop legends. The chemistry between these artists is evident, making every collaboration a hit.

Black Thought’s freestyle and collaborations at the Roots Picnic showcased his unmatched talent and left audiences, including Common, thoroughly impressed.
