Black Thought Raps The Theme to Mario Bros. on LNWJF

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

In case you're unaware, it is currently Video Game Week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. This has led to a number of 8-bit themed songs and skits on the show throughout the week. The highlight thus far for me would be Black Thought's Mario Bros. inspired rap. Brought on by an audience suggestion box submission, Tariq is asked to supply some lyrics to the classic video game's theme song (I know the theme song is already stuck in your head, again). Watch below as Black Thought dishes some bars out describing the life and times of Mario (you see how he sneak dissed Luigi though?). Yeah, that was tight - and for the record Super Mario Bros. >>>> Sonic.
