Black Thought shares some war stories on Desus & Mero

One of the more interesting portions of the interview came near the end when the rapper talked about the unplugged album The Roots did with JAY-Z. Black Thought revealed that they were planning to do a cypher with Jay, Eminem, and Thought during the show. Unfortunately, the cypher got scrapped early in the process. Bummer.
