[scratch19]

They say I heard you gave up rap music to be a grad student, dawg I'm a grad

[stonegroove74]

So sick! Every time i hear this, it inspires me to be me... And nobody but me! Cheers Shad!



[john1987805]

There's only one definition of a freestyle and this guy Shad lived up to it's meaning. I know now that MC's still exist.

[Pfuetz4]

try free styling more than 4 lines. He just did a 6 minute one.. what is this kid made of.

[youngice6004]

@Pfuetz4 This was improvised all off the top of the dome... you can tell because he spits some lines from 'a good name' in this. Still incredibly sick though

[KrfNYC2]

The real deal.

[benbowie]

Best HOMEMADE Rap in NZ Vid # 1 Freestyle at party

[LeDuckDuckGoose]

Biggest thing out of Canada since Pamela's double D's...oh shad, you clever

[agiapgaipgw]

This man makes me smile, so much positivity

[YoungLuns]

shads an inspiration. hes too real. i fuck with all kinds of rap but i think more people need to be put on this dude. I actually did a remix over Shad's "Keep Shining" instrumental called "Young Luns - Aspirations". Go to my channel and check it out along with a few other tracks I have. If you like my music feel free to follow me on twitter @YoungLuns and subscribe to my page. Big plans for 2012, takin it to the next level. Thumbs this up so maybe someone else will see it. Thanks

[AveRajala]

Everyone I was friends with always used to say his 5 panel caps looked stupid as fuck, now half of the idiots wear them because of odd future.

[rubiksfan2000]

everyone tell everyone you know about shad, he is to good at what he does to be so unknown.

[juthdeet1]

Its not a shitty life. Its real life. Shad is amazing and deserves to be noticed as one of the greats!

[studstickman11]

@DGKNUGZ420 actually i can relate to drugs and partying.i can relate to how its ruined my bestfriend's family and how its forever scarred him.sorry i dont need drugs to love my life

[747kolossal]

strong ...added to my playlist !!!

[Nexismyname]

Holy crap look up Flux and Flow & Everybody Breaks a Glass

Electronica by LIGHTS ft. Shad, seriously his best rhymes ever.

[TheRealist]

Not off the top. "Freeverse" is more accurate. Doesn't matter though--freestyle or written Shad is the illest.

[teganbee]

it appalls me that this only has 164000 views. share this genius people!!

[ThisizPrince]

are there any other good rappers like him and k-os(funny thing, i searched k-os but wasn't feeling him so I did shad) I regret nothing.

[KwentEss]

@ThisizPrince not saying i'm of Shad's caliber, but check out my page for some iLL hip-hop!

[teejay816]

@ThisizPrince blu & exile

[ThisizPrince]

@teejay816 I already listen to them// blu is sick...any other suggestions?

[spartan17]

How does this STILL only have 162,000 views?

[90mv]

BEAST

[DeanoZA]

[businessballer]

[NUKEDone1]

17 people dont want to get women

[whaddupcuzzz]

ATTENTION HIP HOP FANS: If you really care about Hip Hop, you will support this man here!

Shad K ftw!

[grimmrper]

is this really a freestyle?

[thepunkfish109]

@grimmrper Crazy enough... but yes. This is just off-the-cuff. I also hate myself lol

[danieljohn426]

@grimmrper

Not off the top of his head, but it is a freestyle.

[homedawggle]

So SICK.... this guy needs to be more popular

[homedawggle]

So SICK.... this guy needs to be more popular

[Hazurd2011]

[Hazurd2011]

easily one of the best freestyles ever



[ThEMoresWON]

wtf!!!!!!!!!

awesome shit



[ThEMoresWON]

wtf!!!!!!!!!



[hairbrush9]

download link!?

[dwightsheedy]

whitest teeth... and sick rap

[thevideovlogger]

Hey anybody that wants the lyrics just search "Hot Dog Garbage" lyrics on google and you'll find them... They're are some mistakes and things I could not understand but they are there! Check it out...

[TheRealist]

No... it's not a FREESYTLE in the modern sense of the word, if you're used to newer terminology it's a freeverse. It's a freestyle/freestyle in a sense that it's a WRITTEN verse that's not about a specific topic or subject. That being said, it still doesn't take away from Shad.. because I truly believe he is the illest MC out now, period. My favorite right now.

[michaelsreign]

Being hes not from the states its hard for me to even say this but its the truth, Shad lyrically is one of the illest out there Hands Down.. Lyrics with a message and his metaphors are rediculous!!... Really

[AaronWDrew]

REAL TALK SHAD K.

[8080pop]

lol i came here thinking ur name was a tagwhore off of shady, HOLY SHIT UR GOOD

[Banach22]

This freestyle proves that he is one of the best rappers we have. When This Is Over-The Old Prince-TSOL-Next Winning Album?

He's flawless.

[thevideovlogger]

I'm working on the lyrics...!

[bpmcgough]

nooo wayyyy this is a freestyle

[Joharu21]

@bpmcgough watch his other frees and then you'll understand, he is literally the best rapper of all time bar none.

[MrGummby1000]

thumbs up if you think he should be signed he's sick at this shit he gonna be bigg oneday....

[sgknexmaker]

@MrGummby1000 He is big.. He won the Juno over drake..

[ThatGuyNamedTim]

i feel like playing gta san andreas now for some reason

[JakeBennett13]

so how long was he rapping before this since he says hes gonna "keep going..."?????

[bigkevz711]

I NEED THIS VERSION! Where can i find it? HELP I'M JONES'IN!!!

[studstickman11]

seriously this is real hip hop.shad speaks with so much soul its unbelievable.he speaks with a meaning and delivers a message in every song.hes not out there just rapping about partying,drugs and girls like every other rapper.hes rapping about stuff that we can all relate too.we need more hip hop artists like him to keep hip hop alive.

[mccjams]

aha! this is incredible. shad is an inspiration for me!

[declouxa]

16 people sneezed and hit dislike by accident, I apologize for them.

[blaowphoto]

It's exciting to know someone still raps like a rapper who wants to rap. Not a man who wants to fill his pockets and sleep with women. Shad isnt a 'christian rapper'. He is just a rapper who loves Jesus.

[THATSghetto49]

@blaowphoto I like what you say about not being a christian rapper but loving Jesus... It's so true that we have all these artists who claim to be christian "artists" but have no sense of music at all... and little more about Jesus.

[rubiksfan2000]

@blaowphoto then spread him out to people you know, he is too good and not known enough, it is a shame.

[100MFJOSH]

sick.

[azngorillaman]

this beat is so sick for freestyle! is there a link to it?

[EricRusselHodgson]

Shad K has such a chill flow! It fits him right seeing as he's Canadian!

[JoshMartin77]

Glad Canada has a real rapper to be proud of

[Jden411]

this shit is real , dont stop makin this music bomb bomb!!

[privateriker10]

Christian rapper spitting Christ and spitting lyricism that no one can fathom. INCREDIBLE. Anyone care to challenge the lyricism of the Holy Spirit? No one can touch the 66 books in the Bible, how do you think they'll stand against Him rapping on a beat?! #CHRISTISKING

[DaveDFFA]

@privateriker10 dude... fuck christianity. this is real. I'm all for his beliefs but this is human.

[iloveher750]

I would love to see this dude get on Tim Westwood and shit on every other rapper! Much respect!

[bowlhead64]

shads the man

[effthisishh]

WHAT THE F*** WHY AM I JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT HIM?! Illest lyricist I've heard in a minute

[canadiancheerchick]

with no midlife to help through the rigors so i just gotta push myself to deliver... 

[azfatboi]

@canadiancheerchick its midwife im pretty sure

[canadiancheerchick]

@azfatboi yup typo you're right!

[alittlecandle]

How does this not have a million views yet? This is totally killer and has been up for almost three years!

[nothadnotbad]

um... how bout a hot dog! that guy should be famous

[nothadnotbad]

um... how bout a hot dog!

[canadiancheerchick]

the acapella ending....woooooow

[themosthilarioushow]

@DaveDFFA Music is determined by personal preference, just lighten up and let people think what they want.

[SSSMforlife1]

Top 3 MCs right now in my opinion:

1. J Cole

2. Shad

3. Earl Sweatshirt

And eminem is top 5 all time.

[DaveDFFA]

@SSSMforlife1 Um, shad and aesop rock have to be 1 and 2 right now

[o6kobeblackmamba]

@SSSMforlife1 were's lupe?? tbh lupe is better than cole lyrically but i like j cole

[LeDuckDuckGoose]

Hahaha not the fitness type, yeah yeah brother Guinness over working out anyday

[trevdog110]

Eminem has been mainstream for like 5 years now and has been shit that entire time. He needs to take a step down and let boys like shad and clasdified step up.

[crazymofo1714]

@74sickness lollolololol Eminem above Shad and Classified in the top three..

[74sickness]

@crazymofo1714

LOOOOL really bro u think shad is better then eminem maybe one day not now

shad is 2nd cause hes just sic

classified is 3rd cause hes just got sic rymes and represents canada

[crazymofo1714]

@74sickness Eminem has been absolute shit for his last what three albums? Shad is constently a better lyricist and spreads a positive message, he doesn't talk about killing his mother etc. Classified isn't bad by any means, but he is nowhere near the top three on any hip hop list, except possibly Canadian emcees.

[74sickness]

@crazymofo1714 eminem will destory who ever u think is the best listen to eminems freestyles no one can touch him listen to shads freestyles no on can touch him and classified is just sic in my opinion

[o6kobeblackmamba]

@74sickness NAS

[DaveDFFA]

@74sickness you need to learn about rappers dude. Aesop Rock, Illogic, Shad k, Cadence Weapon, ETC. Please listen. PLEASE understand people like these are incredible. As amazing as eminem is, he can't touch these guys.

[74sickness]

@74sickness in my opininon they are the best so chill

[krazekidder]

growin up i was nothin but a fan of the game

but a spark, friend said let it fan in the flame

stoked, i spoke from the heart

i figured listen, this is art

if i'm lame i'll advance with a cane

if i'm trippin i'll stop

if i'm not invited in the club i'll dance in the rain

[imtheFreshest]

I.L.L.

god damn... nuff said!

[ServantOfJesus]

lol this is soooo tight

[DaSavior29]

Definitely believe in his shirt. A Diamonds in hip hop for sure.

[imtheFreshest]

@DaSavior29

yea man! rockin Diamond stuff since years. Very fresh and real clothing.

[hockey6467]

@imtheFreshest Diamond is a skateboarding company called Diamond Harware. It makes bolts and griptape.

[imtheFreshest]

@hockey6467

Sorry man, but I dont like ppl like you, who act like they know something better... Fuckin annoying.

Bad luck that I skate since bout 8 years... I KNOW that its a skatebrand...

And for u: They also have a clothing line with caps, shirts etc.

peace

[hockey6467]

@imtheFreshest ??? Overeact a bit much? I just stated a fact. And yes, they do make clothing I forgot to mention it.

[imtheFreshest]

@hockey6467

abit yea :)

[Bevus11]

the part about the rockies being renamed the stoneys is so good.

[PhazedMusic]

Not trying to nit pick here... this is absolutely amazing, BUT it's definitely not a freestyle lol

That wouldn't even be humanly possible to do, but mad props nonetheless Shad. Too dope.

[RAAB0601]

@PhazedMusic didnt really claim its a freestyle tho

[sk84ever515]

Shad, you are the mike jordan of recording!

[Critical2kx]

13 people out of 1354 are idiots

[Critical2kx]

13 people out of 1354 are retarded..

[meme143]

[azfatboi]

one of the best freestyles ive ever heard..i would love to get lyrics

[weedtokely]

@azfatboi write em down, or are you illiterate?

[SPAKBABBATH]

@azfatboi go fetch a pen then.

[ezwelchman]

i don't know if i can name another rapper that doesn't spit a bad line...literally in this entire 6 minute video...find me a bad line, YOU CAN'T DO IT

[tomasguar]

now thats a real fucking MC go hard its about the content not the nonsense!!!

[llucashamilton]

I've watched this video easily over 20 times, and every single time I listen to it I get another one of his lines. Absolutely amazing

[sk84ever515]

i hate watching this video because every time i see it, i need to change my pants

[GhettoPersonnel]

I make it a point to watch this video every day.

[markus122piesuckers]

He's lost weight, no correalation but he's my fav rapper

[danieljohn426]

Originally, in Old school hip hop of the 1980s, the term ‘freestyle’ referred to a pre-written rap verse that was not on any particular subject matter, but rather was written for the purpose of demonstrating skill

[trevdog110]

the only thing that is pathetic about this video, is that it doesnt have millions of views.

[hairbrush9]

is there a download link?

[Leedles69]

...holy shit!

[monkeypooptree]

Absolutely the best rapper I've ever heard. Shad is amazing, and doesn't need cheap lyrics about guns drugs and girls to be successful. Preach it, brother.

[HereIsRick]

this guy is not as bad as most.

[mccjams]

Oh. My. God.

[sk84ever515]

is it a bad thing that my dick was hard during this entire video?

[KhaelerBrandon]

@sk84ever515 No it would be bad if you didn't.

[69longboarding]

THAT IS SUCH A NICE GARAGE DOOR

[ruslanio]

Hold on, this is weird, where's the blackberry?

[AveRajala]

@ruslanio ahaha

[KidsOntheRoof]

@ruslanio that was dope

[matics19]

@ruslanio I know. I can't understand it. He must be reading off a prompter. Nobody is this skilled.

Guess there's at least one.

[neopandorex2]

@matics19 ive seen people rap like this in the past... just never as charismatic...

[gojaysgorush]

the greatest...just the greatest

[PsionicStavros]

That was fantastic!!!

[LowPipe00]

[staviwavi222]

[GanjaQueen3]

Amazing!

[KillahB89]

I was pissed when I didnt get to see this man in Chicago...

[NameBrandClique]

@KillahB89 what?! I live in Skokie, when was he in Chicago?

[KillahB89]

@NameBrandClique about a month or so Id say. He performed with a couple of others. Check out his website and all his events are listed.
