The Roots's Black Thought stopped by Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 show today, where he delivered a nearly 10-minute freestyle over the beat from Mobb Deep's “The Learning (Burn)," essentially leaving the rest of the world speechless.

Black Thought himself finally responded, tweeting "That verse was just what I had to say at the moment lol."
