Freestyle 101: Busdriver

[Gracefulpine]

Not written, not typical Busdriver flow. Besides, it's obviously a freestyle. >:/ If it was written, don't you think he'd be a lot smoother and have better word play? Some of it could definitely be written, but not exclusive.

[FartyFace]

This guy raps well but this is written, its not free style. If you want to see real freestyle on G4 see the Del video

[MCSQUAREDHIPHOP]

@FartyFace Doubt it

[FartyFace]

@MCSQUAREDHIPHOP doubt what? That this was written? Of course it was. It rules by the way, but no way it was off the cuff.

[SuperSDizz]

The Jack Black of rap.

[SharinganLust]

Can we watch this instead of Cops ten times a day?

[jainsworr]

Is he mixed?

[wryrose]

Is this guy finally blowing up a little bit? He's been brilliant but obscure for as long as I can remember and now I feel like I see him everywhere. Good sign? Sign of the apocalypse?

[AETOGenny]

at 1:38 his power level begins to exceed over 9,000

[sarcastic456]

whoever disliked this didnt undersand him

[559MRHINOJOSA]

WHAT5 THE NAME OF THI5 BEAT? AND WHOEVA DI5LIKED THI5 5UCK5 DICK

[baconmanya]

@559MRHINOJOSA It must take much longer to put a 5 for every S you put...Dont understand the way ghetto people type...

[AETOGenny]

@559MRHINOJOSA shut up.

[tiki2188]

Busdriver is great. One of the very few rappers I like. Probably because he's unique, funny, and real and not a corporate whore talking about being "g" but whatever....

This man is great

[mattehISme]

i'm a genderless creature in the sky trying to get by gonna fly

[pitthewarrior]

He's not doing any improv, he wrote those lyrics on his eyelids.

[interpolluter29]

And this is why I'm a fan. Heh!

Apologies to the dude I almost aggressively debated with on him a year or two ago. But you know how fans do.

[abbj88]

one of the most underrated rappers

[davecaldera]

@danyc09 are you fucking serious?

[CyphenPhsyX]

@davecaldera

Eminem IS a good free styler ;)

[WierdPerv4U]

im just here to hold ur hand when u die...

[danyc09]

why isnt eminem on g4's freestyle 101 HE IS BASICALLY THE KING OF FREESTYLE

[MikoKeZ]

@danyc09 Lol.

[DJSkinnyHo]

@danyc09 You have clearly never heard Tonedeff freestyle...

[kodysnaz]

@DJSkinnyHo Tonedeff is way todope



[funkee10]

what beat is he using??

[DeniseKendra]

"I'm on tour with RJD2, But I'm not see through, like all those other mc's that look like Pikachus" - Bus drivers the fucking man!

[AlsDub]

Never heard rhyme patterns like Busdriver's. Legit.

[bushinaustin]

he sucks

[DrunkIrish0]

@bushinaustin die in a fire



[officialrome]

busdrivers awkward

[ImthemanUK]

Busdriver pwns every rapper!!

[LRGalltheway]

he has very nice grammar.

[blindelement45]

Is it a bad thing that I would rather watch Busdriver spit than half of the "signed" artists perform? NOPE!!

[cuellarjag]

Busdriver brings a sick uniqueness to the table. no other like him.

[KSkrode]

See this motherfucker live. It will change the way you look at music.

Just remember not to look any of the hipsters directly in the eye.

[lostsurfer660]

I love this beat.... and i gotta say this does not do Busdriver justice

[TheExclusiveEdge]

I got One Word "NO FLOW" dis dude is terrible....oh my god, lil wayne is actually better than sum1.

[MrAcePena]

@TheExclusiveEdge thats 2 words and this dude is dope so shut up and die

[macewindu064]

@TheExclusiveEdge

troll

[KazuyaDragon]

@TheExclusiveEdge Thats 2 words

[SubliminalMinded2011]

LOL

he said "my girlfriend looks like JJ Fad", "my bars don't suck, they're pretty good actually" & "like all those others rappers that look like pikachu".

[KizaSoze25]

He's like a hip hop version of lenny kravitz.

[TheSuperduck23]

im a.... genderless creature! good lyric XD

[AtomicLOL]

Drakes not a rapper, he's a performer... kinda like a stripper.

[Abletoroll]

Drakes not a rapper, he's a performer...kinda like a stripper that says she's a dancer.

[raygv12]

Lenny Kravitz?

[rickitan89]

lol i liked how he went about it.. dope.. and different.

[awelch128]

Hes not the worst rapper ever

[xVTxquinnx420x]

He sounds exactly like Dave Chappelle doing his white news reporter voice

[dune310la]

"and my bars don't suck there pretty good actually"lmfaoo!

[samusaran20p]

thumbs up if you cant stop watching this

[samusaran20p]

No your a rapper

[420ONiK420]

This is the worst rapper ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!! this is the stupidiest shit hands down. And if you think hes good ur even more of a dumbass than him. 1st. K-rino, 2nd. Krs , 3rd. Pharoah , 4th. Immortal Tech, 5th. Beast1333 and Lowkey just to name a few. Ur welcome stupid niggaz that dont jam real shit.

[angelgakaastar]

@420ONiK420 wow you an idiot Bus Driver > any rapper you named.

[phathalbert]

@420ONiK420 Terrible top 5 lol

[KingPep145]

I can only listen to this fool when I'm high I swear lol! Otherwise he's just weird!

[ganjakru1]

don't you dare disrespect ODB by saying this guy is the most different rapper you have ever heard.

[realOGfromthahood]

original

[Raiderfn31]

please please please.....this guy is average, sounds like a bad infomercial...Del The Funky is the best free-style

[negativecreep654]

@Raiderfn31 go look at the other freestyle 101 on myka 9, he is the god of freestyle, period.

[Kwaadvlieg]

Anyone can tell me the name of the intro tune of this video, not when del is rappin, but at the very begin! at 0:01. Thanks

[keyonte0]

I'll be honest. He's an amazing writer. But his freestyling is garbage. Maybe I just expect every freestyler to be Eyedea.

[NimhGC]

@keyonte0 i love eyedea and hes amazing but i thought this was a good freestyle?

[julien90087]

i love how he mentions rjd2

[zigfail]

Does anyone know where the MP3 version of this is?

[deltadeltadeltaz]

he is one of the few LA rappers i can truly respect

[420swed420]

people who say he sucks can't keep up with what hes saying, no other rapper can twist syllables like busdriver besides tonedeff.

[HeadToucher]

@420swed420 Agree Busdriver, Tone Deff, Myka 9 and Megalon (of Monsta Island Czars) rhyme at rate that makes them superhuman

[manofhue]

SUPER SHIT

[msDriDri123]

Why is he lookin like Maxwell? lol.

[DonGenerico88]

"Like those other MCs that look like little Pikachus" xD

[SpairoAce]

wow.

[Nandezbot]

his style is fuckin' dope

[antisanity1]

i spit a fly rhyme or 2 and it turns into something you see on your gamecube... awesome

[MrClubJRB]

PROJET BLOWED 

[gjvb]

uhh i cant like this guy

[CeciNestPasUnPseudo1]

Cuizinier shirt !! In ur face !!

[114207]

this is shit.

[Draxx1134]

I love how people think hes average. Hes the most different rapper ive ever heard, and i love how modest and humble he is, hes all "Oh im dope, im a G, wait im just kidding". He is actually dope, hes a breath of fresh air in this world of lame ass rappers like drake and lil wayne.

[skimask321]

@Draxx1134 nicely said

[Draxx1134]

@skimask321 Thank you. :)

[brucenatelee]

@Draxx1134 We need more personality in hip hop, Everybody tries to be serious. It's poetic art with rhythm, hot dammit, and people keep forgetting the word "art".

[AllKindsaGirls]

@brucenatelee i don't listen to very much hip hop at all, i'm more of a blues and rock n roll kinda guy. but when theres someone talkin some sense behind the mic. i can definitely dig it.

[Draxx1134]

@brucenatelee Agreed. I dont agree on the serious part though, its either they try to be hard or everyone just raps about money and bitches and thinks their shit. We need more, positive thinkers, story tellers, and MCs that actually tell us something though hip hop.

[Frogger0neXx]

@brucenatelee And also the phrase "hot dammit"

[animatorguy2]

@Draxx1134 fuck those assholes aren't even rappers, kuniva del the funky homosapian, mos def, aesop rock, papoose, real rappers, but they don't care about profit enough to boast about it for fucking years, and the general public has mustered an ignorance so immense i wanna blow my fucking eyes out with a globe to my skull

[Draxx1134]

@animatorguy2 I couldnt have said it better brother.

[DaboooogA]

@animatorguy2 lol papoose.

[nachoisone]

@Draxx1134 Drake is a rapper?

[Draxx1134]

@nachoisone LMAO. Thats the best thing ive heard all day, if not the best reply ever.

[nachoisone]

@Draxx1134 Cheers You should see my blog i have against him the Kesha whore and Lady Gaga. I'll e-mail it to ya. If anyone wants to read it just hit me up.

[UshoZeek]

@Draxx1134 Right, he's never had beer or smoked weed, and look how fucking genius he is with the lyrics. Average my ass, Average is the rapper that thinks showing off is about lieing and saying you're fucking invincible xD At least Busdriver tells us the truth about himself

[Draxx1134]

@UshoZeek I know right? I couldnt agree more.

[BugsnClovers]

@Draxx1134 I agree with you 100% to Drake fans you see that? See that? No AUTOTUNES or "PHONE FREESTYLES"!!!

[Draxx1134]

@BugsnClovers XD definatly, i like that saying haha

[PL3ASEDIE]

@Draxx1134 BACK busdriver is the shit

[RaggedStagger]

@Draxx1134

"May I take your order?

Yeah, I would like a Happy Meal

With a side of rappers who don't have any skill

with a contract for half a mill

Served up on a plate full of daffodils"

Busdriver is the man.

[Draxx1134]

@RaggedStagger He really is.

[Tenari1]

@Draxx1134 If you think they're bad look at MGK. Such crap, LOVE Busdriver!

[1089p8ntballa]

@Draxx1134 He is on a similar level to Atmosphere or Immortal Technique in my book, which is definitely not just average. You can tell the type of person someone is through they way they speak and what they say. Hip hop has evolved, because those people who contributed to it have grown as people. Rappers who talk about the same shit they did years ago haven't evolved, and would be better off not breeding for the next time around.

@AtomicLOL haha

[67joka]

@Draxx1134 i love drake but fuck lil wayne totally agree

[THEMONSTERMATTMAN]

this dude is ill as fuck shut ya mouths and listen to his lps

[Israeli3030]

i want bus driver and chali 2na to do a song together thumbs up if you agree!

[TheNaramatu]

I love how Western thinking has permeated people's brains to the extent that it gets brought into hip hop. You gotta be number 1, 2nd is last ricky bobby! HAH Hilarious. I have a top ten but I still show love to artists who are off that list for sure, what kind of sorry cat would I be if I didn't. (Think ninjas, think). This cat is a real artist like Aesop Rock. This cat reminds me of Deltron 3030, it may be left field but it's innovation baby, gotta respect different swaggers and he swags.

[MenaceWood]

Freestyle for MenaceWood! Channel dedicated to 100% freestyle hip hop!!!

[sinniter]

I'll even put my money on Jean Grae to win a freestyle battle with Busdriver lol.

[1WC4L]

Busdriver earns TWO turns because he's that fuckin' awesome.

[callmealiaragain]

.....ouch....He's like average in the worse way

[sinniter]

@callmealiaragain you are so right he is average in the worst way. I can name 20 people at the very least who are better than this guy. Greenhouse effect, Blueprint Illogic, J live, Median, The fucking bar doesn't even start with Busdriver! He's like the passing grade you will take to get through the class just to be no child left behind!!! Weak Freestyle. Low Key Lil Wayne's A milli was better than this shit! I'm sorry busdriver your just not that tight!!!

[2222busdriver]

He always seems to rhyme over the dopest beats. I want that instrumental.

[LethalJizzle]

If jack black released a hip hop album....

[vdl1996]

@LethalJizzle Wait what does that have to do with anything?

[LethalJizzle]

@vdl1996 Because thats exactly what this sounds like

[vdl1996]

@LethalJizzle Ohh. Haha yeh that's pretty true, Busdriver is like the black jack

[FirstDegreeGaming]

I love his voice and flow.

[BludStatic123]

That was cool,

[thelungbutter]

i've been a busdriver fan for a minute, but i've never heard him actually sit down an talk instead of spittin. he sounds shite as fuck!! he's still one of the rawest ever, been a fan since ''Imaginary Places'' on THPS1

[JSwanKilowJ]

@thelungbutter

THUG, not THPS1

[thelungbutter]

@JSwanKilowJ ahh, my slip bro.

[DjFuNkFlaVa]

Hahaha now thats a freestyle...you could tell it was off the top...ill ill ill

[W0WitsKALEB]

and you can see me rapping, im a g! im going to take my white ass up to school and say that in the biggest group of black people i can find! LOL

[DjBooyaaChrist]

hahahahahaaa.. i love "and my bars dont suck, there good actually"

[pick8lock]

i liked this strange but sick

[JusLKicks]

Its called personality. I think people hate on someone because they always hating artists for not being the usual sound everyone is accustomed. People need to be more open-minded with music. Busdriver is dope!

[belalakaperal]

spontaneity incarnate

[SAKofOGJAPP]

"its gonna be amazing!... not really, but kind'a" haha busdriver truly is awsome!

[DrStyleOmatic]

Try transcribing audio. That service definitely doesn't work

"On the don't want company this year freind or your boyfriend elmo canada"

[playaandthepimp]

ive listen to this so much and it still amazing that this man is that good at freestyling its pretty dam great

[jussdogg]

pikachu

[forgottenme]

busdriver is the mothafuckin shit!!

[pntballfreek]

dude....his style is raw as hell...i love it

[stuartrockin]

The gamers rap <3

[PumpkinHead8]

After he almost chokes he picks it up and it just gets so sick

[robskim101]

probably one of the best freestylers around

because you can tell this is actually a freestyle

[mikedestructive]

ah, I saw him open for rjd2 this year. great time.

[kranseline]

Love how he totally does not speak gangster.

[hickstylez]

his older shit is fucking awesome this lyrics are crazy and all but his old shit sounds way sick if u know what i mean

[DoomVillain818]

I love his nerdy flow, that shits some legit shit

[WillTheManic]

this dude is sick!

[JmufucknM]

bdriver will thug you in the face

[AtzenSchmidt]

maybe sick lyrics but all in all doesnt sound good.

[decoymiata]

smash on drake busdriver

[Cloacula08]

Rap has been around for so long, that the only way to keep it fresh is to make no goddamn sense.

Never stop, Busdriver. /salute

[TwiZtidSt0n3R]

@Cloacula08 The only way to keep it fresh is to do you, and stop paying attention to what the mainstream culture dictates. Everyone has a voice, every voice is beautiful, so speak up.

[Jyth]

His voice is amazing and his flow and freestyle is dope one of my fav rappers ha

[JDev82]

you know who raps about video games better? del the funkee homosapien. no disrespect to busdriver

[Dramacydal18]

@JDev82 Yeah, Del does get down with the video games all day. Protoculture is probably one of the most slept on Del songs ever.

[imsoSCENExCORE]

hip hop is all about innovation & busdrive is VERY innovative :D gotta love him

[mul33tto]

This actually sucks. Abstract =/= good.

[micegogrr]

people who are hating on busdriver just listen to imaginary places and have napkin near by to clean up the jizz

[chocotacojewboy]

Busdriver is great, his beats just suck really bad except for Imaginary Places

[Nile101]

@chocotacojewboy Don't forget Me-Time also, Mozarts Turkish March is a sick beat.

[modnarandom]

I won't touch your control pad Busdriver

[modnarandom]

"Then I rock the place!" is so well timed with the instrumental that I dirtied my pants a little in a good way

[samuraij3]

this is fuckin sick

[grabass136]

gada love that originality!

[Sylquon]

he's wack as helll.

[Myliberty03]

Not my type o sound but u gotta giv it to him.. sick free.

[NjeruFilm]

Busdriver is too ill haha

[DIZKIPLE]

lmao.na nigga this guy sucks, at least hes freestlyin but he shouldnt rap

[napkinshower]

@DIZKIPLE haha ya this guys actually pretty famous. (well, underground famous) but hes pretty good in my opinion, weird ill give you that haha.

[shuggahhead]

Busdriver owns! anyone who doesn't like him should probably clean his ears.

[sinner24]

lolol oookkaay wow comeback made sense and had alot of ground lol...enjoy your lame music goodbye!

[shuggahhead]

@sinner24 Keep missing out.

[Celph123]

well... he's smart? & a gamer?

[sinner24]

everyone who keeps dickriding busdrivers shit needs to stop...hes ok at best..and dont try to use that "oh u just hatin and u dont know wasup cuz u dont listen to real hip hop...guess what i do and yall need to recognize that not all underground shit is raw and ill, sum shit is really just wak..wat kinda lyrics are "im a vet who sweats blood and fuel im a thug who duals with evil monsters in the netherworld? i am a genderless creature in the midst of the sky? my gf looks like jj fad? wat a joke
