The Tragic Life And Career of Black Thought From ‘The Roots’.
The band garnered attention and acclaim for their distinctive approach to hip-hop music. They stood out by utilizing live instruments instead of relying heavily on digital sampling, which was a common element in hip-hop at the time. Their music appealed to a wide range of audiences, including both urban and modern rock listeners. Although Questlove, the group's drummer, often represented the public face of the band, it was Black Thought who primarily provided the lyrical content. Following the departure of Malik B., Black became the main lyricist for the group. His rap verses showcased his background in street and club "battle" performances, featuring both self-assured boasting and elements of social critique. He aimed to challenge the materialistic and misogynistic tendencies prevalent in other hip-hop acts.
