Beanie Sigel may be from Philly but that nigga is "NEW YORK" nice. He never reached his potential. Shuda signed to Interscope or Universal. Jay-Z only knew how to market himself.

[coleylc]

[SherHenry]

[SikaAvenueP]

"BLEEK COULD BE ONE HIT AWAY HIS WHOLE CAREER, AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE HE A MILLIONAIRE" - JAY-Z

[coleylc]

Oh snap where Bleek at? these days?

[djfinesse76]

They killed it,I played this cd for a few yrs straight ,real talk ...........jerseys own Dj finesse

[brfffa]

I watch this shit and wonder if any young rap clique can do this. I mean, I ain't even hating. Who da hell we got dat that can go to radio as a crew and rip beats like this for a couple hours? Honestly, I wouldn't wanna see Young Money embarrass themselves or even OFWGKTA do some weird, slightly homo shit or watch Maybach Music fools spit some Magnificent garbage. Shady/Aftermath is kinda strong, but them niccas ain't really buzzin crazy right now. Da rap world is fucked up fam, fo real.

[danerook]

@brfffa Personally I think Young Money would embarrass themselves.

[foreveryoung1197]

now this wtf i call freestyling

[bcorzine1]

press like if you agree that this is dooooooooope still

[BestPS3PlayerAlive]

R.O.C. La Familia..

[jawad9289]

one*

[Truex1]

Mcveigh style level you out....holy shat!

[BrooklynEagle]

...I still have my bootleg of this entire session. And this actual footage from inside the station does do some justice. Just to see who was who at the time and who spit (PAUSE!) what... BTW, how's Young Chris doing man? I heard what happened to him late last year (2010) at SOB's. I hope the kid is cool and in better health now.

LONG LIVE THE R.O.C., SUCKERS!!! Alright, I think I'm a wrap now. Lol... Sorry for the speech. :-)

[BrooklynEagle]

... When R.O.C was up at 395 Hudson that January night 10 years back (it was a Friday night, too. I looked it up on my PDA. I do remember it being MAD cold) I was actually OT that night. I remember being in either Chester, PA or North Delaware, or both. At my Aunt's crib with my nut-ass/bad-ass cousins (all girls, too! It was terrible!!!).

It's too bad I didn't hear this when it originally aired 10 years back. If I had I would've zoned-out. 'Cause I was R.O.C all day back then!!! But...

[BrooklynEagle]

... I can believe that. I finally bought this entire session (minus a little more from Bleek & Free--probably without a beat--at the end) on CD (which I still have) off of eBay in 2004. While listening to everybody rhyme, you can hear mad 2-ways (remember those? :-)) going off and the phone lines were just nuts. I believe that's the first and only time that particular station allowed a crew to go completely uncut (PAUSE!) and off-the-top live on the air like that. I'm glad they let 'em do it...

[BrooklynEagle]

...on his watered-down "show" again. I do understand that those crazy conservative censors have gotten WAY out of hand in the last decade, but what happened to our once-great NYC radio stations is a B.I.G fucking guess. They're not only watered-down, they've drowned in that water. Sugar water! :-)

Anyways, back to this freestyle session turning 10 this year... Who actually remembers listening to this live that night 10 years ago? I've read a few comments on here from cats who said they did...

[BrooklynEagle]

Man...that is about as ILL as it'll EVER get on mainstream radio (on ANY F.M. station anywhere in the country) AGAIN. And, damn, this session turned 10 years old this January (1/12/2001-1/12/2011). Anybody take the time to think about that? Lol... Man, that station (I can't even type their name on the internet it's gotten so soft over there) at 395 Hudson used to get on it something serious. When Tracy was the PD--YES! Just a decade ago... But that bandwagoner Aston will NEVER EVER do this...

[slimforlyfe]

the hottest shit to ever hit the radio....real talk i miss these dudes as a team

[slimforlyfe]

the hottest shit to ever hit the radio....real talk i miss these dudes as a team

[19kay83]

[buddy72785]

That's Str8 Piff right there. All theze other catz iz str8 bunz.

[musikinmyveins]

you heard X nigga do you you cant do us.

[jawad9289]

Anyone who knows hip hop, can tell Oschino killed that shit at the end. You can tell by everyone' s reaction at the end.

[cheapwhips]

@jawad9289 Thank You so Much. Oschino murdered that freestyle. He had the passion, energy and all types of quality in that booth.

[vyceapparel]

@jawad9289 anyone who knows hip hop,haha sounds like u went to school to study this shit batty boy,oh and if the 357 bitches make a dance about it i guess its hip hop right,,fuckin wanabe,keep strokin yaself with that foolish pride of yours,look at me everyone i know hip hop,haha fuckin tool

[jawad9289]

@vyceapparel

lol at this faggit e-stalkin me on youtube. And I already had one duke agree with me and youre the only to to disagree. You madd? And who the fuk says sh!t like batty boy yer silly wigger. Go back to being one of them youtube trolls, who complain about the current state of hip hop.

Aha

Aha

Ahahahahahahaha

[dazeak]

free spittin written rhymes peep beans adlibin the punch

[SuperJayZFan1]

Jay-Z Really Believed In These Dudes & Supported Them 100%, So I Don't Understand Why They All Dissed Him Over The Years.

[Sleep4Life]

@SuperJayZFan1 you're an idiot if you think that. matterfact, i disregard your life, look at your name man

[Sleep4Life]

@SuperJayZFan1 you're an idiot if you think that. matterfact, i disregard your life, look at your name man

[martystreets]

@Sleep4Life zJayz cant baby niggas all they life taking care of niggaz all they life. all the rappers are nice on the roc especially seagal they just need to grow by themselves

[realtv1982]

My Fav part is when Oschino said truck all red like Tickle me Elmo so underrated!!!!!!!

[MrBblank05]

I remember when I heard this live on the radio

[toontownfreak1124]

my flow cocaine and the verse an o

[yusufmhassan]

Imagine chumps trying to "Roc" Mack. Only n**** did was Jay when I signed the contract. Classic line. Although a lot of these are memorized lyrics some of them are true freestyles. Sometimes an artist uses his/her written lyrics to keep his/her flow going in the freestyle

[yusufmhassan]

@yusufmhassan You can also tell when lyrics are not written when everyone says the punchline with the artist. That should be obvious

[getjasonborn]

LMFAO "Used to argue with the cops with my mink buttoned"

Damn i miss REAL New York Radio. Can't NOBODY say Jay aint hold the Roc down. Only difference is now he comes to the radio alone in a suit. lol

[getjasonborn]

"Used to argue with the cops with my mink unbuttoned." 

LMFAO, I miss REAL New York radio.

[gggreenman]

BEANS BEANS BEANS, stop. too rediculous to this day hearing him. crown

[poppishogunz]

yess what happened to lyric? please lets stop supporting these garbage acts thats out there now!

[WMRTC]

The height of hiphop???? LoL Niccas don't know what the height of Hiphop is.. I know it's a cliche but Wake the fuck Up or.. or... or...

[IndivisiblePrinciple]

turn jz fuckin mic down, goddamn

someone needs to unlplug his fuckin nose that nasal ass sound is fucking like scratching forks on plates or some shit

anyway i got respect for all them for spittin their flows, but even still all this together is still hardly hip hop at its best, just for those who may have been confused about that...

plus jay-z looks like Joe Camal, which is unrelated but still funny as shit

[odog121]

@IndivisiblePrinciple Its not Rakim, or Big L or Big Daddy Kane. But if you think about it, it is actually the high point in hip-hop/golden era. Cause sales, hip-hop was in the public eyes, it wasn't underground. So this is technically the height of hip-hop..

[debi2cutensweet4u]

@IndivisiblePrinciple lmao you are FUNNY AS HELL! LMAO!

[coltrockin]

real freestyles no cell phones or paper

[thenotoriousJSZ]

@coltrockin - exactly....not like this new shit that fake artists are trying to pass off as freestying...cant believe that this was almost 10 years ago

[chromestocksbeamin]

@coltrockin these are written and memorized

[MrMerlar]

Holla !!!

[LiveCityProductions]

freeway killed it

[AllNatural1625]

@LiveCityProductions haha agreed. Just wish he saved some shit for when he got bodied by Cassidy later that day. He was prolly burned out as fuck when he battled Cass, smokin and drinkin all day

[ReelMuzikFein]

@AllNatural1625 I remembered he did a interview where he said he shot his load on the radio, his words, but i noe cassidy still killed him

[cheapestwhips2010]

@LiveCityProductions You Crazy.. Oschino Killed it.

[watchdeezvideos]

PHILLY COOKED DAT "ROC" UP HARD!

[dREASk]

Bleek killed it

[Ensilvanation]

I must admit. I heard Lox, firm, nas, dipset, g-unit etc. etc, on Hot 97 freestylin', and Rocafella completely destroyed it! Siegel and Freeway are good at freestyle sessions, but unfortunately that didn't turn to record sales for em'

[shadow461]

end of an era.... sad to see this shit go

[emporio8404]

i miss the old hot97, roc freestyle, gunit freestyle, lox freestyle... i remember when rappers would curse and flex would be like OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHh...lmao. prolly got fined 100k that night from the fcc

[eccomatt04]
