@kungfuvampire8 жыл бұрын
+Josh Guglielmo as far as your misunderstanding of what a verse is or isn't. There isn't such thing as a written freestyle. Freestyle has an original definition of "off the top" otherwise known as improv and an adaptive newer definition where someone spits a random verse somewhere on the spot that isn't a song. What he just spit is a verse. A verse is ANY written rhyme. The fact that he's spitting it randomly in a studio and it's longer makes it a freestyle by newer terms but it's a still a verse regardless of why or what it was written for! 🍁

Damn, I've been a fan of this nigga since he first beat Marvwon on MTV, and have since been following him catch bodies on Gindtime, as well as his radio cyphers and mixtapes. It's someone like this that the game has been missing for so long. This dude is true emcee, and has expressed the skillset and versatility to show for having the ability to rap with multiple styles under RELEVANT schemes while still retaining his lyricism, and stays loyal to the tradition. Plus we've already seen how much of a beast he was during his battle rap career, he didn't just show that he was good, but he completely DESTROYED his competition, everyone from Mistah Fab to both Dizaster and Daylyt. This is one of the few emcees today that matches his predecessors that hold the legendary status, and in some ways can possibly out do a few of them. I hope Lock get's the exposure he deserves.
