Black Thought - Take It Personal (Interview)

During our exclusive interview with Black Thought, we discuss the upcoming Streams of Thought, Vol. 3 album. We discuss working with Danger Mouse and the late Kobe Bryant, as well as the upcoming musical he wrote and will be starring in titled "Black No More". We find out if there's a new Roots album on it's way, delve into some Roots stories such as Malik B, Razhel, getting signed to Geffen and what the "actual" release date was for "Do You Want More?!!!??!". We talk Philly, food, classic hip-hop and much, much more. This interview was recorded weeks prior to the passing of Malik B, but Thought opens up and shares some really amazing stories about Malik and the group. As a fan, it was great to hear their unbreakable brotherhood. Malik B was such an intricate part of The Roots and without Malik, there might not be a Black Thought. This interview felt like we were talking to Tarik Trotter, as he was open, honest, funny and extremely giving of his time. We know you're going to love it!RIP MALIK Bwww.takeitpersonalradio.comwww.patreon.com/TakeItPersonalFollow us on Instagram @ takeitpersonalradiohttp://vevo.ly/QhiBw9
