Black Thought Brings Us Up To Speed On 'Game Of Thrones' In One-Minute Recap Rap

As far as cable television programming is concerned, it seems fairly safe to say that Game Of Thrones takes the prize for "most needlessly complicated and long-winded narrative." Let's just say the show's writers and chief architect George R.R. Martin, have employed what seems like endless plot-twists and kill-offs in its' four seasons as one of HBO's many rating-killers. All of this makes for a show that is at once very enjoyable and insanely difficult to catch up on if you've slacked in your weekly consumption ('cause, you know, life and whatnots.) Luckily for us all, our very Black Thought happens to be as devout a fan as you could possibly come across these days, and he's put together a little abbreviated recap of the show's ins and outs, hitting virtually every major plot point to bring you right back up to speed, saving you the hours on your friend's HBO Go account that it would typically take. And if even if you're not one for all of the fantastical madness that takes place on the show, I think you'll at least get a kick out of the trap-ish flow Tariq takes to on this less-than-a-minute primer for the fifth season, which debuts next Sunday, April 12th. Watch as Black Thought raps a brilliant recap of Game Of Thrones live on The Tonight Show below.
