no disrespect But a written freestyle is not a free style.... its a Written.... those are for rappers who can't really free style and cypher off the top.

Ahh I forgot Guru I'ma go jump off the Brooklyn Bridge now.
I mentioned the Wu in an earlier post.
Aes was in the post you quoted lol
I was gonna say Bis but after his battle with Diz whooo it's a lil harder to be a fan, I'ma love his old stuff but whoo that was bad.
I just mentioned Eyedea in another post I forgot a lot of Rhymesayers when I first posted.

I'm not saying that him being underground makes him better. His music is genuinely better than those two period. I'm saying that 90% of rappers on the radio and mentioned n this thread are garbage

Everybody has their own opinions.
And tbh if Hopsin was that good then he'd be more popular.

For my non punchline focused raps I prefer Slug and Grieves and Eyedea and Ali and mostly all Rhymesayers. I like Cecil Otter, Mac Lethal(albums not youtube vids) and Watsky too for some newer guys.

Is Below the heavens a mixtape 'cus the first track I played off it was a remix

It's an album.

Top 5 album in the last 10 years.

Top 20 album all time. It's a gem.

But that dudes decent, he got nice flow.

Do I have to prove to you people? Kendrick Lamar has use Pre-Written Freestyles on Radio Shows and use the same lines on multiple Radio shows just like numerous artist. A Freestyle has no true Plot or subject. I do agree that a True freestyle is off the dome but there is a such thing as Pre-written or premeditated. Joey-Bada$$ has used Pre-Written but he has also used Off the Domes at Radio Shows. It's apart of Mcing. I will Literally Link the Videos if you do not believe me. I thought the same thing at a point in time but their is a such thing as meditated and off the dome. Just because they do not read it off their phone or a notepad does not mean it's not pre-written.

I wouldn't say 90% Its about 60%

Fair enough

C'mon man popularity stopped determining skill a looooong time ago

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it; but I truly believe Cole and Kendrick have pretty nice flow, even on the music that isn't played on the radio.

 

[Microsword57]

Oh lol sorry I stopped reading at pre written. That's cool tho, I freestyle everyday do you?

Yes I Do. I have a Freestyle Video. I actually look around as I'm rapping and say it as I'm rapping when I run out of things to talk about.

Yeah but as a fellow rapper who also hangs out with other rappers, none of us would think a "pre written" freestyle is cool. Kendrick Lamar sucks, Joey badass just sounds like he sucks, real rappers don't write freestyles it's just how it is. "Free" style means that it was outta nowhere and spontaneous, that nearly impossible when you are taking the time to write things down

I never hear anybody talk about a Hopsin song or quote him.
The only thing I remember him for is making a diss on Tyler and posting a picture of Kanye's album snapped in half on ig.
Sorry but the dudes career is a struggle.

 

[Nikes]

They have so much money they don't really care lately.. 0_0
T.I. just lowers his content & ability for his image & money <.< he doesn't put his all into music anymore..

Spoiler

Jay-Z can still be pretty incredible if he actually tries <_< but they aren't motivated enough.. especially Jay Z
he could still go back to this

Spoiler

Naw I know T.I's music. I like it, but it's generic.

Jay's career is over, he's lived it. He has nothing to prove coming out with Magna Carta just hurt his legacy that shit was TRASH

you don't have to link anything, I still know that a freestyle in its true original form is not something that is written down. lol..... Dude you can tell when something is freestyle, and when its off the top...... You can tell within the first 4-8 bars of them spitting. you don't have to link anything because a Real freestyle is not something that's written down. This is common hip hop knowledge. Anytime I hear a freestyle or see a link saying Freestyle, and has a guy spitting writtens is instant turn off. If that were the case go reCord a song.
And this goes especially for cyphers, spitting A pre written verse in a cypher is an instant vibe kill, throws everything off cause the spontaneity is part of what makes a cypher legit

One of the best lyrics from a new cat in a long time "Well if 50 got shot 9 times n aint de, I'mma shoot yo ass 50 times with 99 nines"

The rest of the verse is just crazy too.
Well if 50 got shot nine times and ain't die
I'mma shoot your ass fifty times with 99 nines
Throw knives, daggers and darts, ya'll just ******s at heart
You can try to run home boy I throw javelins far (Yeah!)
This is the Army but we don't rock camouflage
We'll dress you up in a suit made out of bandage gauze
Barnes and Noble rappers
Yeah you far from crooks
You was charging books at the same time my charge was booked
Give me a harder look and I'll slaughter all of ya'll
No hands and no feet you lucky to be crawlin' off
Your next birthday call it off (Why?)
Cause I got party favors with an open bar servin' molotovs
Some say I'm gangsta rap, others say I'm horror core
I say I'm Suge Knight at the '95 Source Awards
We swingin' swords for sure
You better gather yourself
After my verse **** face that's what the chorus for
