He actually grabbing bars from a different dimension

Kendrick Lamar Freestyle ft. Hand

Kendrick really translated his whole freestyle for his deaf viewers

no one: kendrick: ✊🏽🖐🏽✊🏽🖐🏽✊🏽🖐🏽

He's preventing his microphone from catching on fire

Kendrick's hand raps better than half the rappers out right now. Lls

Kendrick's arm remembers when he was conflicted

Fun fact: Kendrick's brain actually conceptualizes ideas for his lyrics and his ghost writer is his hand.

How tf did he tell a whole life story while freestyling for three minutes?😕

He's fanning the mic with his hand so I doesn't catch fire

More bars than drizzy's phone

The 🐐 No phone in sight 😂

He be casting quick spells

this dude's freestyle have more methaphores than fucking shakespeares novels, he's a goddamn genius

who is here coz K Dot is taking too long on that album and you need a recharge on that Kendrick's energy

7 years later, still one of the best freestyles i have heard.

I heard that if you hold down both of Kendrick's hands, he can't freestyle.

Kendrick absolutely thrashed Drake when they both had time to produce full songs. Imagine how worse it would have been for Drake if it was a live rap battle. Especially if they confiscated his blackberry

Who’s still listening to this in 2020? 🔥🔥🔥

It's weird how Kendrick looks older here than he is now

I'm not even gonna front, I've watched this about 15 times and still haven't caught all the metaphors. Genius.

This verse was actually really deep. He said his father will be carried by the big six. Six people carry a coffin to the hearse. Some of yall didnt catch that

Who’s here after that J Cole freestyle?🔥🔥😂

I love how human and emotion filled this freestyle (and his music) is. He even chuckles and smiles at a funny line he spits 2:45 Then immediately captures the serious tone of the following lines, cause he feels them as he raps them.

Lmao Kendrick's soul takes over every time he spits bars. After that first verse the expression on his face is priceless as he slowly comes back to reality, and then his soul takes over again. He's on a whole other level.

R.I.P to that microphone

Still ridiculous 12 years later

"He Said I'm 7 goin on 67" - Has so many implications. Never grew up. Probably has a much more intricate backstory to it. God I love the way Kendrick spits.

I watch freestyles like this and it makes me want to quit rapping. This guy is amazing.

I think Kendrick Lamar's hand was really who was rapping.

Plot twist: Kendrick’s ghost writers are actual ghosts😂😂

1:53 you’re seeing someone diving into their mind but also so tapped into their spirit that nothing is stopping the flow - totally feeling the next things he’s about to say. he’s not focused on anything else- his ego is out. God Gift

If you cover up Kendrick and pretend his hand is rapping its hilarious

Doing hand gestures works better with talking especially if someone used to stutter...Anyway Kendrick kills this easily...

Listening in 2022 because that spell his hand was casting sent me in time

As embarrassing as it is to admit💯, His raps are so awe inspiring that I seriously somewhat semi-tear up just listening to his level of greatness ☝🏻 This is an example of why True lyrical mastery and substance, whenever put up against catchy melodies, will ALWAYS always prevail✔️ This is brilliant

This guy need a fidget spinner

any one who raps knows that movement and mannerisms helps to improve and keep your flow on track... its just a natural reaction.. thats his thing every rapper has their own

Watch both Kendrick and Drake first hot 97 freestyles and all I have to say is there a BIG difference between Quantity versus Quality. Kendrick’s bars are at heights Drake will never reach. 😔 I’m a Torontonian and Im thankful he went at the dude instead of the City 😂

2:35 Literally prophesied this Drake beef 😂

WARNING: Don't read the comments till you've watched the video if you wish to enjoy it without laughing.

Top three rappers 1.hand 2.finger 3.thumb

Akademiks was hatin like a mf when he heard this 😂

Listened to the first few bars and then just put my hand up to my face. Like you just can’t hope to be this good.. it’s unreal

Compton

Kendrick is one of the only rappers who doesn't add nigga after every verse

its almost like he can see 4 bars ahead into the future and build his freestyle around that. what this man can do with words is absolutely outstanding.

Ima j cole fan but ima be real Kendrick running the game 😥✍🏾✍🏾

Kendrick is a brilliant writer. So unique. When a person can actually write lyrics that paint listeners a picture and make perfect sense, that makes that person a Artist.

@ 2:28 "And they want stripes, so they shoot off bikes" Everything in this is a classic quote

AK is COMPROMISED

Kendrick can go Toe to toe with any lyricist that ever lived...regardless of generation...he is a generational talent

Top 3 (No Order) 3 1 2

Bro the lyrics are deep

I understand completely how unbelievably talented Kendrick is but it never fails to amaze me

No blackberries, what a promising young man! 😂

The pictures that he paints in my head with his lyrics are incredible

I swear his metaphors go so far

Drake did not do his research 😂

He was going in that second part, he fumbled a bit and still just made this even better. You could see how driven he was and determined he wasn't even shook. This dudes already a real legend

Kendrick Lamar ft. His Hand

This one time I was reading a comment section and someone said "if you like Kendrick over A$AP you don't know anything about music". I considered correcting him but realized he was too far gone.

"I sparred with a dragon, he tried to draw his flame but I ducked then I stabbed him" GTFOHHHHH!!!!!

haven’t heard from Kendrick’s right hand in a while so i keep coming back here

You don't like Kendrick, go ahead and move onto the next genre of music

his hand is really the genius here.

Listening in March 2020 🔥

He a rapper worse nightmare

WHO GIVES A FUCK IF ITS WRITTEN FREESTYLE DOESNT MEAN OFF THE TOP EVERYTIME IT MEANS U SPIT FREELY WITH NO MAIN TOPIC LETS SEE 1 OF U MEMORIZE THIS WHOLE THIING AND SPIT IT ON THE SPOT WITH OUT MESSING UP WITH OUT KNOWING WHAT BEAT FUNK FLEX IS GONNA THROW AT YOU LIVE ON RADIO....

Kendrick Lamar - Freestyles On Flex ft Hand

You can tell the hunger in his eyes at this time 🔥🔥one of the G.O.A.T.S

Come on man one of the greatest dawg he a poet 💯

Nigga Kendrick almost made himself cry 😂

This was the first thing I ever heard from Kendrick. Blew me away

Went to watch Drake Hot97 freestyle.... Needed to cleanse myself with this here symphony of words.

Here after watching Drake ft the blackberry lmao!!!!

Top 3 (No order): John Cena Bruce Jenner Benjamin Franklin

G.O.A.T.

His hand was spitting straight facts💯💯🥶🔥

When he said 🖐🏾✊🏾✋🏾🖐🏾✊🏾🖖🏾 i feelt that

Kendricks hand has the answers sway

Felt everything in that first free he ripped up, nearly cried. Too good

"I spawned with a dragon, he tried to throw his flames but I ducked and I stabbed him, came out the battle laughing." Damn that metaphor holds up.

2020 and I’m still listening every year 😢 we need this Kendrick back. Hungry kdot

this goes so hard, im boutta cry. That was put together so beautifully.

his hand doe

After that shooting @ drakes crib, Kendrick should drop a “who shot at ya” asaaaaapppp 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Still watch till this day. !!!! Till this day !!!

The delivery and flow on this freestyle is of the chain, Damn. Kendrick is nasty.

Did you know it took Desiigner years to make panda and this is a freestyle let that sink in

No blackberry in sight

This is the old school vibe! The best kind of music!

kendrick kills this freestyle as usual

I can sense in his face that he's reliving the past, and everything he can remember is just replaying in his head. So, i'm kinda agreeing with @Blake Buttman on the stress ball part.

rip drake

They not like us 🔥
