Anyone listen to freestyles?

Any opinion on whos the best freestyler?

posted on 15/11/12

Benny, not really. But you could have opened the door to some awful freestyles being linked (Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa...)

LOL

Lil waynes freestyle on Tim westwood is such a joke. He has ZERO talent.

I think freestyle shows a rappers true ability.

Dunno, some rappers need to write lyrics down and are every bit as good as a rapper who can freestyle. I personally do not think it should be seen as a negative if a rapper likes to construct his lyrics with a more considered approach.

TBH, It is purely about rhyme, and who can make the cleverest rhymes. Dare I say Eminem is the best ever freestyler

Anyway, I think any top rapper there has been has had a shot at freestyle.

I always tend to try and find the samples if I like a song. You can find some classic songs that way.

What do you mean?

Also interesting to see what parts of songs hip-hop producers take from a song. Sometimes it is hard to spot the sample.

Find some interesting facts too. For instance the sample used by both Wu Tang and Eminem for Can It Be So Simple and My Name Is... features Dave Hodges on guitar.

Dave Hodges as in Chas 'n' Dave.

Thus Chas 'N' Dave are technically on two hip-hop classics (at least... think it is used a lot as a sample...)

For instance, Jay-Z sampled Bobby Blues track 'Ain't No Love In The Heart Of the City" for his song 'Heart Of The City'. After hearing Jiggas song I found the original, and found it to be a great song.

Question: do you like tyga? I get mixed feelings, I feel, like chris brown, he is serious talent, but he just uses it wrong, add to that he is in YMCMB

posted on 16/11/12

Nah, never heard anything of Tyga that I like. Rack City?

posted on 16/11/12

Yes he is the rack city dude far away is decent, it's a love song, just wish he would not sing YMCMB stuff.
