Lupe is one of those artists who are truly channeling their inner self through their work. They are masters of getting in the mental state where you are projecting whats coming from in side you, without thinking, fear, or expectation. It's expression in its most authentic form. It's as much a training of the mind as well as creative technique/skill. You see him even call it out in his one line about messing up. It was a moment of fear that caught him up and he turned it into part of his freestyle. Quite impressive.

You get to work the next day to show it off but thats absurd... The entertainment industry whos keeping you distracted already sent the serve. And by that i mean you're server got the word and oh wow, look at your servers word.... The same freestyle that you thought you were gonna introduce to the herd......

I love watching this because you can see how it's all off the top of his head. He feels a little off-flow to begin with and you can see him closing his eyes and getting used to the environment that is the beat behind his words. And he naturally achieves higher and higher wordplay and confidence until he's in a state where he can just let his thoughts spill out of his head right on beat. This is how hip-hop should be.
