Black Thought Sings!
First it was M Def, then Andre 3000, and now Black Thought using the vocal box not just for the splattering sixteen but for its honeyfied harmonies as well. Hercules! Hercules! One of my best friends asked me why it's become a la mode from emcees to show their growth by dabbling on the R&B tip. You know what...iono. But I do know an emcee who can rap and sing is a dangerous thing. Anyway, check the new single by the Roots, "How I Got Over, where Black Thought tries out the chops.

it's pretty simple. everyone and their mama grew up on motown so that's what people gravitate to and besides the best selling rappers of the last ten years by and large have been sing rapping or at the very least introduced melody to their rhymes that catches the audience.
