@@ItsKing_Rabbit52Youve made it obvious how little you know. A freestyle is spitting bars over a beat for the first time, off the top is something else. Do you know how difficult it is to spit 300 bars nonstop without a break over a beat for the first time and not fall off once? That's a freestyle.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iuCbfZdhv9XScaM.htmlsi=ubiQ_4pkRpvKoUm2 Ehh, id say he was more fascinated by the white boys going in and out while actually coming off the top. Not up here just spitting writtens. Black thought was much more prolific with the word play and thought provoking social analysis. This is good, don't get it twisted, but I'd rather hear Tsu Surf or Arsonal spit where you can actually hear the emotion and hunger in their voice. I think Mysonne's latest freestyle was more quote "conscientious".

@totalbliss1 3 ай бұрын

@@ericgomez9216 Nice. Here's how I break it down. Triple entendre first interpretation: It's about the entanglement The LOX went through with Puff and Bad Boy and how he had them framed in a box wearing shiny suits and dancing. Jadakiss and the rest of the group wanted out of their ironclad contract (which Puff wasn't willing to do so easily) so they could sign with Ruff Ryders and eventually changed the name that Puff gave them (he shortened their original name from The Warlox to The LOX) to D-Block. If Puff had kept it player, cut them off and kept movin, he would've never invited such bad publicity and constant ridicule from them for jerking them off and not paying them or all the other artists on his label. See 🤣 🤣 skit "Jay Jerkin." Second interpretation: How Jada's entanglement with Alsina broke Will Smith's will. Even though he tried every which way to get her to not stray, there was nothing he could do to block her from getting that D. He should've cut her off from that instant he caught her and weigh his options with his lawyer, saved face and kept it player. His life would've been a lot better. He would've never been caught up at the Oscars like he did. Third interpretation: Was just a simple play on his own name Locksmith, mixed in with the entanglements. 😉 Pretty clever wordplay. 💯

@@ToniSmith-wj9uf I was a massive locksmith fan back during grind time, loved that he transitioned into music so seamlessly not too long after his debut, I say that to inform onlookers that I am familiar with this mans pen and am proud of his success. However as an honest and critical songwriter myself, what bothers me a lot about his writing is how crammed it is in some parts and how far some syllables and words are spaced out. Structurally almost sound, but the pseudo intellectually driven lines kind of ruin it for me in some instances. I think what music needs right now is something more intimate and heartfelt, not something thought provoking, unless of course it’s introspective or can be applied to the listener. His delivery is always on point though, dude has always rapped with conviction and has had semi unique cadences to pair it with.

Its mind boggling to see the skill, pace, word play, alliteration, punchlines you do it masterfully & are actually worth listening to. Salute.

I grew up in a time of real physical encyclopedias, not Wikipedia. Freestyle might have a different definition or multiple definitions that you might not be privy to. Feel free to check.

I've said this before and I'll say it now. Locksmith is literally the best freestyle artist on this earth. No Contest. No one can reach him and that's just fact. Period. Why? Because he speaks truth without fear.
