Chuck D Praises Black Thought and Eminem on Twitter.
Earlier this month, Chuck D appeared on Vladtv where he remembered doing a show with Eminem in front of 900k people. Now the founder of Iconic Public Enemy, and the member of Prophets of Rage, took to twitter to praise Eminem and The Roots’ member Black Thought.
“Math is Math both @blackthought and @Eminem are FKN RAP COMPUTERS … they are both impossible..” He also meant to hashtag the post with #hiphopgods but he tagged an account with that name instead.
“Music To Be Murdered By“, Eminem’s latest surprise album, has 20 tracks and features Q-Tip, Young M.A., the late Juice WRLD, and even a Joe Budden-less Slaughterhouse. But it’s Black Thought’s presence on the song “Yah Yah,” which features Q-Tip, D12 member Denaun Porter, and Royce Da 5’9, that may be the album’s most surprising standout appearance. It’s been more than a decade in the making for the two to collaborate on a single track. Marshall and Black Thought collaborated in 2009 to rap LL Cool J’s “Rock the Bells” in honour of his honouring at VH1’s Hip-Hop Honor Awards.

Eminem collaborates with fellow emcees Royce da 5’9 on “Yah Yah.” “, Black Thought and Q-Tip for a posse cut over featured artist dEnAun’s peppy boom-bap instrumental. The rappers pay respect to inspiring hip-hop veterans and demonstrate their lyrical ability during an almost five-minute length.
Royce da 5’9 is a member of a different rap group than the other featured musicians “is a member of Slaughterhouse, Q-Tip is a member of A Tribe Called Quest, Black Thought is a member of The Roots, and dEnAun is a member of D12, where he was also known as Mr Porter and Kon Artis.
By teaming with Living Colour in 1988 (“Funny Vibe”), Sonic Youth in 1990 (“Kool Thing”), and New York thrash metal group Anthrax in 1991, Public Enemy helped to develop and define “rap metal.” “Bring the Noise” had a blend of semi-militant black power lyrics, grinding guitars, and intermittent comedy on the song. The two bands brought a previously unknown genre to rock listeners, thanks to mutual respect and personal connection between Chuck D and Anthrax’s Scott Ian.
