Below is video of Brother Ali, backed up by the Legendary Roots Crew, performing "The Trap," from his Off The Record mixtape with BK-One. Of course, the original version of this track featured Ali rapping over The Roots' "In the Music" instrumental, from Game Theory. This song has a few of my favorite Ali quotables, although the list runs long. "If you ain't Einstein, you just a regular cat."
At about the 30-second mark, Black Thought appears to really appreciate and admire Ali's live performance (and the Destiny's Child punchline), noteworthy because Black Thought is one of hip-hop's best live emcees ever. Great moment in hip-hop right here.
