Will.I.Am recently caused a stir saying that Black Thought is “a trillion” times better than Jay-Z.
The LA artist praised Black Thought’s skills, especially his ability to come up with original and powerful rhymes off the top of his head.
“Don’t get me wrong,” Will said, “but Jay has already said everything. He’s just repeating what he already said.” He went on to say that Black Thought always brings something new and fresh. “Everything that Black Thought comes up with, it’s like, ‘Wow, I never heard that one.’” Will also didn’t seem to care if people disagreed with him, saying, “I don’t give a f*ck what you think.”
Will.I.Am, who knows Hip-Hop well after being discovered by Eazy-E as a teenager, also shared his top five rappers of all time. His list included KRS-One, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, and Black Thought.
