Freestyle Rap

[theezenutz]

Now although this is a type of music that has a lot of stigma attached to it for various reasons some of it deserved but not always. I absolutely love Hip-Hop for many reasons as it has had a massive impact on my life in ways I can't really describe but in my opinion it deserves to discussed along side other great Poets that have had an a cultural impact.

Now I've recently come across some new stuff that has blown my mind, the first clip I've posted is an Artist that goes by the name of King Los and he is known by his peers as the freestyle King, to those that also like Hip-Hop you will easily recognise his Genius but for those who don't, think about the skill involved to be able to do something as incredible off the top of the head in time to a beat. It really is something special.

Feel free to post up clip of your favourite Artist or even your own thoughts and opinions. Cheers.

Part two.

Some more this time he starts to display his little party trick towards the end.

This one was voted best freestyle of the year and you can see why this guy is something almost verging beyond Human.

Although it's technically grime and garage I appreciate Kano's talent. He did a 5 minute free style stint on the radio the other day, it was quality.

I also like the dead poets, when mark gryst went up against blizzard it was an impromptu lyrical masterpiece.

Please feel free to post it up if you like grime I'll post up some other stuff at a later date that you may just like.

This is a guy that goes by the name Machine Gun Kelly and although he's an American Artist he has a go at U.K. Grime and imo he smashes it.

This a guy called Logic who also attempts the Fire in the Booth, I love this guy he's certainly not a stereotypical Rapper but again very talented and a all round nice guy.

Not totally my type of music but I can appreciate why some people do like it. I very much doubt that I could manage to not breathe throughout the 10 minute raps though lol.

I imagine a good technique to learn for it would iirc be "circular breathing". the aborigines use it for playing the dijoridoo (sp?) So that it is a constant almost unbroken sound

Almost forgot about this thread so It's time to resurrect it me thinks.

 

I'll start off with the best one I've seen in 2016 I really want to breakdown the complexities involved in this kind of art form because their is many levels and if you are only able to access the surface levels then you miss all the good stuff behind it. A wise man once told me that Hip-Hop is like an Onion or was that Ogre?

 

Joey Bada$$ representing all the way from NYC I have a bit of a soft spot for this one, well he did give me a shout out so it's only right I return the favor, again . " I'm the best at this across the Atlas"

I've seen Sway in the morning. Turn right just past Brockenhurst. Lovely part of the New Forest. There is even a Skoda dealership there. Meadens of Sway. Part relocated to Brockenhurst now.

Great music, but don't listen to it when driving. No different to using your mobile when at the wheel.

Not quite telling the whole truth Leo haven't you already appeared on one of the King Los performances? I'm sure I saw you stood in the back admiring the skills of this incredible man.

 

I'll show you what I mean later

No the average should not try listening to it whilst driving it can very dangerous.

[theezenutz]

I thought I might share this one although it's not quite a traditional freestyle but more of a freestyle created to appear on wax.

 

I'll include a breakdown of the lyrical content that once studied reveals multiple layers and levels that I'm sure even Leo himself will understand just how potent it can be. On the surface it is just a simple synergy of beats and lyrics until it's organized and arranged into a potent blend.

I won't tell you the do's

And I won't tell you the don'ts

I'll just fill the wills 'til they manage the most

Of my time, of my rhymes

Of my thoughts, of my actions

Some past convictions of everyday satisfaction

Transpose my flows, flawless in my timing

Adding commas and zeroes to this career, climbing

Uphill, to up and kill doubt and stress

And those enemies that pretend to be friends at my close

 

Who am I

I'm the one with no release date

The one who M.C.s great

Like the taste of Philly Cheese steak

So if we break some knee, 'K

We won't resort to cheapskate

I'll make your knee's shake

Cause every rhyme I spits a keepsake

For Pete's sake

CookBook's dope and there's no debate

You wish you had a comeback, but no, there is no rebate

Your hopes and dreams deflate

With every song that I create

Beat me, you must be in a dream state

 

Freak the format, make your heart beat strong

No hoop to like, come whack, get the gong

You better bring the house down like King Kong

If not you got to go, if not you got to go ( x2 )

 

Out of words with Captain Cute, MC

Some fools try to be special

Convinced by simple MC's their style's experimental

It's essentially a mental tied to the 7th grade level

No respect to tap dancing around the fundamentals

Where's the substance, the meat

Please make sense when you speak

Catchy phrases are great but your verses are weak

Need to retreat

And find a place to make peace

Something better lies ahead of you

Later, next week

 

Don't integrate, differentiate

Like make the haters hate the players

Laden with asinine rhymes

Gettin' quotes in the Source

Chokin', the horse get bit?

No secret though

Spill from it's grill

Until pen hits paper

John Hancock seals the deal ?

keep it real but they're faker than prosthetic limbs

Player mommy, wrapped up in silk

Jewels and gems

Foolish man, tryin' to move in with bad joints

These rappers been ?

Fugazi style, with no choice

 

See, simple things become complex

While you're frustrated overrated rhymes, reject

You're basically loss

I'm basically boss

Tryin' to teach little people how much this skill costs

See, it's not a rap thing It's kind of a tax swing

And hits your memory of what you thought was happenin'

This is what you wanna write

What you've got is not tight

Loose jabberjaws and these bars brothers wanna bite

 

I'm just a fact of life

You gotta give him the mic

And I'm the cat in the back that you just hate to like

Cause I'm a heavyweight

Y'all can check the tale of the tape

And I'm quick to make my move

That's why I'm yellin' checkmate

And I cause the real estate to quake in just a matter of eight

I drop lines to operate

In a way, you take the bait

And I'mma be the top rate

Cause everything is a stake

Heads go up when I create

With these bombs, I penetrate

 

Lyrical Assassination!

Again, it's more UK Grime but Akala's fire in the booth part 4 was incredible. I'm a big fan of his.
