Yo, my name is Aesop Rock I hate cops, I make em stop but the brain train wont ever drop I'm like interlocking sectors with the vector that slides off a collision course your vision's the source, of course its the source five micer mc mob striker that strikes like lighting out of the sky from hand of god ima scarda our world, swirl around your best vision of a promise land abolishing the land, I'm a Aesop Rizzle with a water pistol gleaming through the sky it dribbles like the verbal venemous spittle yall cant get it your eating kibbles and bits while ima dribble towards the shit and spit directly through the iris a Cytic liquid that flips with a mystic technique just to yes freak styles over a drum beat

Aesop Rock makes freestylin look like it´s a certified artform. he´s simply a genius in what he does.

classic drunk Slug

Aes Rock ; and Immortal Technique in the same cypher ... watching this is like I'm lucid dreaming.. Special moment

If you're thinkin it wack, it's because they're spittin lyrics that haven't been written and they're just chillin and bullshittin. It ain't no radio show.

El-P looks like he came straight out of Deep Space 9MM's video shooting lol

Aes is so untouchable. It’s incredible, you can hear everybody’s crutches they use when they can’t think of a rhyme. Aesop is in some whole other level.

It's pretty amazing how quickly Aesop grasped the new beat when it switched, started flowing to it perfectly before it even really started. Practice, man

can you imagine just walking to get some bread on a tuesday and bumping into this?

I remember seeing Atmosphere in 1998. The show was so small it wasn’t on the stage. It was in the lobby. They used the stairs going up to the balcony as the stage. There were a lot of breakers so the linoleum floor in the lobby actually worked well for them. They were checking ID’s at the door. It was 18 and over and there were a bunch of kids outside bummed out. I found a door in the men’s bathroom that lead out to the alley, so I let as many kids in as I could. I bought a Dynospectrum album from the merch table.

El P looking at slug like “you’re a lot better at freestyling sober man” 💀

Aesop impressed me. Slug was about what I expected. Technique is great. El-P is crazy tho!

"rhyming is so simple look at my belly button i got a stomach dimple" dont know why that cracked me up so much haha

HAHA I love how immortal technique creeped from behind because he wanted to freestyle so bad

This shit is so legendary it's not even funny.

"My technologies too much, for your string and two cups."

Yo, shouts to Slug. Who else know the feeling of spitting a free while intoxicated? I mean somebody gotta feel me.

Damn this is legendary. Legends-to-be mc's cyphering together in their youth just spitting and having fun. Now that's fucking Hiphop. Wish more of these dudes kept hooking up and making music together tho

I like how Immortal just invited himself into the freestyle circle.Real artists feeling the hip hop enviroment and dropping bars.Real hip hop son!

Love how Aesop rock just kills this shit so casually

Technique,Slug and El-P in the same cyper. Jesus Christ.

Damn some of the best artists right next to each other. Immortal Technique, Slug (from Atmosphere), El-P, Aesop Rock, Diablolic in the back. This is legendary right here.

sick group of rappers just chillin and freestylin', i'd give anything to be on that corner

haha the category says education on the videos description

It's 2024 & I still bump this!! Legends in the game!!

All of my favorite artist in one place. Never thought I’d see Slug and Technique together.

i love slug's shit. drunk as fuck, but thats a pure freestyle

El-P had the beat switch 10 bars in, and was like fifth in, and still murders anyone, and his delivery and tone and rhythm and skill is so given and natural that people take it for granted and slip into a coma as if they're listening to a recording, and forget it's complete genuine freestyle.

this would have been the best if it included eyedea and sage francis

If an acid trip was a freestyle, it'd be this

Immortal's line about the 15th is truly incredible. history lesson time y'all

Eyedea and cage needed to be on this

On RTJ2 El speaks the truth. "I wear my yankee so tilted I actually walk with a hunch" lol

12 years later....... And this moment is as Hip Hop now as it was then. 🙏🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

"My technology too much for your string and two cups" lmao, i'm sorry but once he said that 🔥

I think this shit is really fuckin' cool. I guess you could say I'm a person who is more into punk, metal, and heavy music like that, but I have a lot of respect and appreciation for this type of stuff. When it comes to rap, I'm a fan of the underground game, not so much what's on the radio. I just can't stress enough how artistic and poetic this is to just come up with something off the top of your head and make it flow and actually tell a story. This is some true talent.

lol wtf Tech you had one job to spit a fuckin freestyle and then outta nowhere you went into conspiracy mode like always

Lmao Immortal Technique just came in and tore a hole through space and time. Everyone was dope though

something about slug is so special. his voice just sounds so honest

aesop is an elite lyricist, no matter what way you cut it

immortal technique's freestyle was just something different

Immortal Technique for Run the Jewels 4 feature please

MY MANS AESOP IS PERMANENTLY ON ANOTHER LEVEL

Slug has the best flow and just has fun with it, true freestyle

This should be in the hall of fame.

We are so lucky that this video exists

The entire time El-P was thinking of what to say. A legend. Take every moment to write in your mind, or on paper.

i wonder if ill still be watching this shit when 60..

more talent in this video than a million drakes combined with a million Trap rappers now days lol

Damn, this is my first time seeing Aesop in person. Somehow, the face matches the historic, legendary voice

imagine immortal tech produced by el p

Tech started losing me then brought me back in when he said this shit wasn't funny hahaha

I never seen Slug and EL-P together, this is GREAT!!

I think it’s really magical when it’s organic and dudes are just having fun and it’s actually off the dome instead of something happening on a radio show that’s been rehearsed

This is one of the rawest videos ive ever seen

Aesop with the best freestyle I've ever heard. Hands down

immortal rocked that shit

This is literally my teenage idols, Overcast, Fantastic Damage, Float..... Fucking classic albums that started the underground movement

The fluidity of Aesop's freestyle is immense

"Rhymin is so simple. Look at my belly button, I got a stomach dimple." -- Poison Pen ... I had to pause so I could recompose myself xD

El-P n immortal technique were dope

This is excellent. Aes' is a god, Slug is unbelievably good, and El-P has never changed in any way.

Easily one of the dopest cyphers of all time. EL P Immortal Technique and Aesop? THANK YOU GOD NOW I KNOW YOU EXIST!!

slugs freestyle had me Rollin

I swear slug has turrets lmfaoooo

Nobody in this cyph understands how epic this is.

Immortal Technique and Aesop Rock lyrics!!! [Aesop Rock Lyrics] Yo, my name is Aesop Rock I hate cops, I make em stop but the brain train won't ever drop I'm like interlocking sectors with the vector that slides off a collision course your vision's the source, Of course it's the source five micer Mc mob striker That strikes like lightning out of the sky from hand of God I'm a scarda our world, swirl around your best vision of a promise land abolishing the land, I'm Aesop Rizzle with a water pistol gleaming through the sky it dribbles like the verbal venomous spittle Y'all can't get it your eating kibbles and bits While I'm a dribble towards the shit and spit directly through the iris Acid liquid that flips with a mystic technique Just to yes freestyle over a drum beat. [Immortal Technique Lyrics] Yo Check it out, Check it out!!! My style is original, all the cats been clone I think this cat got fucking torrid syndrome Yo, I'm make so much scream it scares a hulk Yo check it out, I'm about to turn to a werewolf cause it's the full moon But I consume rappers in a minute Yo, I talk about them all night but their families worse I call their father a faggot and he hit me with his purse, hahaha I make jokes, but I'm a socialist rebel I bring the battle down, put it in your reading level So now I leave you disheveled when I start inevitably kick Multiples cause it's so simple for me See the smilies start flowing from the top of my mind Yo I never drop diamond on my peeps So I had to do gears But I never lived in fear, I just stayed in my block And niggas got knocked and they tryna step to me I'm like the rock's choke slam you through a mothafucking chair I'm physically prepared I dare you to come close to me It's like God spoke to me one day and said freestyle for the people Because you're not equal to the sector Yo, I be a protector of lost Mc's hunted by the government I think they runnin' shit Yo, you wanna hear something raw Mississippi Better find the 15 ammendment in 1994 And don't laugh cause it's not a joke The 15 amendment guarantees the black people right to vote So now my people in the gettho feel like they be in choked And that's now it's how I rhyme for That's what I did from the start And when I start the spark you can feel it in my heart I wish I was back in 1988 chillin' in the park Cause I would've been there everyday tellin' niggas their style's gay And throwing em' off stage Freestyling meanwhile all the cats Been written and bitten in composition Kicked them in submission Stronghold in the mission.

Love that Aseop is just floating around in the back while El P goes

To be a fly on a street corner! Jesus, this is gold!

slug really saved himself at the end. that first bit was rocky.

Immortal Technique is the G.O.A.T. I was literally saying Aesop Rock and Immortal Technique on a track together would be the hardest shit, today I find this video of the two freestyling together. It's close enough

lol this is under education not entertainment when you look at the category

This video belongs in a museum for future generations

I remember this off a hip hop VHS tape me and mah boi rented from block buster back in the day

so this is what slug sounds like on a freestyle without eyedea constantly interrupting lol

one of those legendary small moments in history where no one knew what it was

Holy crap. I don't know who Poison Pen is, but the other four are all among the best MC's to ever step to the mic IMHO. Must have been a blast to be in the underground circuit at that time.

Immortal technique really tapped into that level, any freestyler knows that god level where once you’re in it the gold just keeps going. I can’t front, in high school I could do some pretty dope shit off the top I don’t normally hype myself up but I really spent so much time practicing and freestyling with my friends and the one who was a rapper before me was so good it inspired me to get better. Unfortunately since everyone moved away after high school, I can’t even think of the last time I freestyled so I know I’d shit the bed if I was in this situation today haha. If I had a week or maybe even just a day to practice and get back into it I’d do okay, every now and then I’ll do it driving in my car and every now and then I’ll get that hint of skill where I’ll get a dope run of lines I wish I recorded haha. But free styling alone doesn’t really have the same energy, I took high school for granted tbh

Years later I still love coming back to this freestyle video

Fuck a XXL cypher I'm waiting for a Rhymesayers Cypher with Ant DJing in the back. True heads.

AES and EL killed it

Aesop was lightyears ahead of all em

El-p could've gone for another hour

Wish Eyedea would of been there to show them what freestyling is about. R.EYE.P

Aesop is an absolute savage

Poison Pen killed it.

el-p has been killing rap since company flow man

Slugs drunk lol aesop murdering ish elp with da trucker hat haha

Man, Aesop Rock is a natural-born BADASS...

I just saw Atmosphere last month and Slug dropped one of the dopest, on the spot, fuckin beautiful freestyles ive ever heard in my life. Fuckin old man STILL has it.

Immortal Technique had that fire. Real flows from hip hop masters. Dope video, jus too bad the best flows happen when no ones there to record it, jus a cypher wit ur friends~

Tech seems to have matured too much, lol

Sitting here smoking weed at 2am thinking of a rapper I know 2pac paid homage to but couldn't think of his name then found this video and forgot about it. Then slug spits his line about big daddy kane, epic! Thanks slug that's exactly who I was thinking of lol Epic video!! Glad someone captured this, Hell of a lineup

Slug and El-P together that’s some legendary footage

Aes Rizzle is ridiculous

there just having fun guys relax

I saw Atmosphere in San Diego at a small club 20 yrs ago. Slug was standing near the merchant table with a beer and just staring at me. I was too shy to go up to him. Plus the boyfriend I dragged with me was the jealous type. I left his ass and moved back to Chicago shortly after 😊

Slug killed it clean
