best freestyle ever? your smoking some good shit listen to big L and jayz 7 min freestyle big L destroyed jayz ,jay didnt even know what to say after big Ls 2nd verse lol
@conflaeconleche i hate when ppl say one person destroyed another person in the same song or freestyle like they were battling each other or some sht. but anyway, big l and jay-z both used lines from past songs in that freestyle. even though they were still real good.
Jay is only of the only rappers to go off the top of the dome when he freestyles, all these other kids are usin blackberrys and shit, Jay dont need to write down shit, its obvious when he flo's its all original off the top... Jay Z best rapper alive.
"Hov we need you back so we can kill your ass again." If Jesus (Jehova) did return he would be even more persecuted by todays judgemental youth and elitist that they would just kill him
In a studio session you redo parts of a song to perfect the style of a song. He has only one take on this so he uses any style he wants to. "Free style" it doesn't mean you have to come up with it on the spot. Most artist freestyles are made up before hand.
this shit is pretty tight but its not a freestyle for the most part... theres verses in there from couple of different songs he wrote like "most kingz" still pretty sick tho.
@slim5poppa well i knew this was way before the song but i thought perhaps it was pre-written so he used it here first and then in his song... but u may be right he may have done lot of it off the top of head.
TO COMPARE THIS DUDE TO ANYBODY BREATHING OR DEAD YOU NOT IN TUNE WIT REALITY.U CAN COMPARE HIM TO BI AND PAC JUST OUT OF RESPECT BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE.
Hov refers to building the Barclay Center in B'klyn to crush Izod Center in Jersey, bringing the nba to bklyn.
He forsees the fall of the nets and devils former home "izod socks", the new jersey sports center will indeed soon be demolished rather than renovated. Jigga has crushed the buildin'! and indeed he waslisted in Time's Most Influential on the list in "builders and titans". He was not listed in with the influential entertainers. Saw it all before it happened.
@cceo0f2omething u never know what would of happened he could of been the most talented dude and ended up like fat joe or busta rythmes they are super talented but they dont get top paper jayz kanye lil wayne and eminem are like the only talented rappers that have been popular making top paper since the jump but anyways you cant compare two albums to like the 10 jayz did in his era biggie is or was the best but its a new time look at drake one album and he is havin talk about bein a legend
One thing i just realized he says "Im no Big,or PAC.. how im supposed to win? you got me fighting ghosts" when he says PAC,its a double entendre,he means 2 pac but he also means Pac-man wich fits perfectly with the "you got me fighting GHOSTS" daaaaamn Jay is in a level of his own!
"Everybody wanna be THE KING,till shots ring,then you layin in your BALCONY,with holes in your DREAMS,or get Malcom X'd out,distracted by screams.. EVERYBODY GET YOUR HAND OUT MY JEANS!" :O holy shit.. its like every punch line has 2 or 3 levels of meanings.. this shit is insane!
"hov's got flow, but hes no big and pac, but hes close, how im supposed to win when they got me fightin ghosts???"
damn dogg.. you win jay.. youre the best rapper alive.. theres so much more shit in that freestyle that i was wowed by but damn my fingers would get tired if i typed that much
you gotta understand all of the word play and the other shit that goes over 99% of peoples' heads
"IPO Hov, no need for reverse merger, the boy money talks, no need to converse further" C"mon man,...that nigga so smart, and smooth wit' it...niggas aint pulling out shit like that in they rhymes. he aint just using big words for the hell of it, it all makes sense. Pick any line and break it down, and it is probably one of the illest lines ever said.
@SaintIzzle you gotta understand all of the word play and the other shit that goes over 99% of peoples' heads
"IPO Hov, no need for reverse merger, the boy money talks, no need to converse further" C"mon man,...that nigga so smart, and smooth wit' it...niggas aint pulling out shit like that in they rhymes. he aint just using big words for the hell of it, it all makes sense. Pick any line and break it down, and it is probably one of the illest lines ever said. This aint the whole joint
"See Martin see Malcom you see biggie see pac see success in its outcome see Jesus see judas see Ceasar see Brutus see success is like suicide"~Suicide it's a suicide if you succeed prepared to be crucified~Jay-z best rapper alive :)
this freestyle is simply mind boggling. heard this 5 years ago back in '05 and everytime i listen to it, i pick up on something that went way over my head before. on some real shit, how is he this good? this has to be the most EPIC freestyle ever.
@MissYazi considering the freestyle is from 08 idk how you managed to do that just saying... you realize hes doing this over the grammy family track from consequences good family release in late 07? just sayin...
Like really, who else in the game including Wayne can freestyle off the top and put it together like that. Lil Wayne "suppositly freestyles" everything and never stays on topic and jay just went in and embarrassed him. Kanye and Consequence wrote to this track and could go harder. Jay is the best ever dude flow, lyrics, and delivery!
No matter what you may think of Jay he is a legendary lyrical talent....he's sick. Great freestyle...remember he don't write...this is just rehearsed. "if you was Bobby then You gotta be Bobby now"
I've been using this beat on my upcoming mixtape.... Does anybody actually realize how fucking hard it is to catch this damn beat? it's tremendeously fucking hard, if u catch it u can ride it pretty good. Bt u gotta catch it first... Now for fucking Hov, to simply have you "say when" he can catch the fucking beat at any single moment is what he was saying and that shits just simply amazing nothing less than just mindboggling almost more than anything he said.
@Eweezie415 you couldnt be more right it got me soo pissed off cause hov did it so easily...i just scratched and rapped over the same sample with a different beat yo smh lol
the same thing ur sayin I'VE BEEN SAYING IT 4 YEARS!!! everybody thought him Pac and Bigg were on the same level but this masterpiece set him apart from any and everybody else!!! really deep concepts in this rhyme....the greatest rap I EVER HEARD all JOKES aside!!!
@WHTdaddy the last time he rapped worthwhile on an album was Reasonable Doubt. I'm a fan of lyricism and Jay z has let me down for years. If youre right and he's holding back for the fans, he's also letting down a lot of people that don't see how he can be called one of the greats if he keeps talking about the same shit over and over and doesnt put as much effort into his lyricism as the other greats like mos def and talib do.
This foo go TOO HARD I think harder then WAYNE n shyt but WAYNE used 2 look up 2 him n I c y this foo freestyle 2 good almost 2 good 2 b a freestyle but u can tell it is.
