[hght]

[vinyl253]

whoo recorded this?

[LittlJohn]

Mos Def is still top 10 best rappers alive.

[VederKleoKaz]

Pretty sure i heard that verse from Mos Def before

[OshawaStateOfMind]

@VederKleoKaz what verse is it? Its ill.

[LittlJohn]

@VederKleoKaz he most likely reused this verse in a song because he liked the freestyle sooo much

[BeatsByKZ]

Cannibus' verse was from 2nd round knockout

[BeatsByKZ]

1:23 Left big pun hangin..

[freakystyleystas]

so pun freestyled this... then put it on a song?

[bertotee]

For all you lil kids that were swimming in your daddy nuts in the 90s...ITS ALL WRITTEN!!!

and PUN killed it!

[peterguns170]

@bertotee the only one that didnt write his verse was Mic Geronimo

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@peterguns170 Yea and you saw how that went

[E10comedy]

@bertotee Yo i'm only 13 and I could back this up and listen to this for the restn of my life and music now just ain't the same and please evrybody stop telling young kids that they don't know real Hip Hop because I do. But I know why u think like that because I might be 1 of the 3 or something like that casue I don't know anyone my age that likes this shit and I take slot of shit at school about old rap being wack and stupid. Dmx is my favorite ever and mos def, Canibus, and pun who did kill it

[mossman2012]

shiiitt a full room of lengends

beeeaaasstt!

[Mnote363]

mos def- these simpletons they mentioning the synonym for feminine

canibus- thats a bitch move, something a homoesexual rapper would do.

[Mnote363]

canibus- i deserve the right to end it. You're sitting with legends, shut up.

[MizzFabulous1000]

Cannibus verse was recycled..he spit that back in the day with his diss of LL cool J from the break of dawn song..it was no freestyle.

[JayceJayce]

Canibus wasn't freestyling... That was from 2nd Round KO. Diss track towards LL cool J

[pooop592]

not gonna lie i would be worried shit kicked off at that table if i was there, these are some real ass niggas.

[pacandbiggie1]

None of the raps on here are true freestyles except for mic geronimo, but a cypher doesnt have to be off the head, sometimes its just to show people your style or something new you wrote and also for off the dome freestyles

[journey007]

DMX was not free-styling

[phenex3636]

mos def - definition

dmx - aint no way

big pun - dream shatterer

canibus - 2nd round knock out

[wowiroh1]

Cannibus was talkin about LL Cool J I know hip-hop so I understood!

[livelifetorap]

[l3Lazer]

[lanigiro1234]

mos def sick!

[lolwut123213]

From 6:05 to 6:10 is crazy

[nateeeeKB24]

Back then not all freestyles were off the top, there's a video of Big Daddy Kane saying that freestyles were verses that were "free of style." Basically just writing random rhymes with no meaning behind them.

[Regzus]

Cannibus was freestylin for sure,they were all good and Big Pun is beast as always.

[Somatunes]

@Regzus He wasn't. His verse is from Second Round Knockout

[Regzus]

@Somatunes

OK,but It was great performance.

[sfknns]

@Somatunes , wrong, canibus freestyled that verse before he actually made 2 round ko. it was only 1 verse then he went back & did a whole track.

[MatthewHoustonMusic]

@Regzus Canibus's shit is a verse on one of his songs lol.

For sure? really.

[lubui2583]

@MatthewHoustonMusic nope he aint sure.

[Regzus]

@MatthewHoustonMusic

yeah.

[zeefem]

@Regzus

Pun wasnt freestylin though

[Regzus]

@zeefem

But he is beast.

[vishaalnarayan123]

@Regzus ur obviously not a cannbus fan then, cause thats a verse from 2nd round k0

[Regzus]

@vishaalnarayan123

Im not,but now I know.

Im more fan of Pun,Def and DMX.

[BlakePlaya]

@Regzus Lol no Canibus wasn't freestyling.. he was spitting his LL Cool J diss..

[AlgiersT504]

@Regzus he wasn't..that was his LL Cool J diss (2nd Round K.O)

[Regzus]

@AlgiersT504

Yeah;I know..

[FilthyDemonRaver]

@Regzus You not heard 2nd round knock out? All their verses are from other songs

[Regzus]

@FilthyDemonRaver

Yeah I herad itm,LL Cool got destroyed,but I was all out of time while I was writing that coment.

[publicityrecords]

@Regzus your joking right... Cannibus was not freestyling he is singing one of his songs

[Regzus]

@publicityrecords

Well as youc an see I hav eresponede for that for about 5-6 times.

[cdouce34]

@publicityrecords He had this cypher before he came out with the song. So yes it was a freestyle.

[Pai001]

@Regzus its from the LL diss, are u serious?

[Regzus]

@Pai001

I responede opn that for a bout 6-7 times.

[RespectProcess]

@Regzus canibus was freestylin? you realize that was a recorded diss track for LL right?

[Regzus]

@RespectProcess

My past 7-8 responds was on that.

[RespectProcess]

@Regzus so respond again. "i was all out of time while i was writing that comment" what does that even mean???

[Regzus]

@RespectProcess

That I was out of time,I was totally out of my mind,after 4-5 hours online,i could hardly recognize Cannibus.

[ODGamerz]

@Regzus cannibus did not freestyle thats a old verse dissing ll cool j

[REDER4EBKREW]

Check out my flow @ RED BRONX FREESTYLE

[soloist867]

eminem + ll cool j > canibus 100%!

[sfknns]

@soloist867 , please canibus > LL and eminem

[TheKidPoetic]

A freestyle doesn't necessarily mean completely unwritten off the top rhymes, it mostly just means stuff that no one has heard before.

[manaikk1]

Great Mc's 

[breakfastdaynight]

@YoungRapper700 If you are saying that he improvised it, then you are wrong. He did his verse from a song from BlackStar called "RE:DEFinition".

[rocknswift79]

@breakfastdaynight Yes, that verse was from Re:Definition back in '99, but this video was taken in late '97 when Big Pun was just getting hot. Before BlackStar was birthed, Pun was already gone.

[LILBUDDIIDINK]

WATS DA DATE

[alexthekiddd09]

Year is this from?

[zzzthewallzzz]

ima rapper i kno what freestyles are

[zzzthewallzzz]

they were all freestyles there was no beat jus not off the top to deffernt things

[NChizzle]

@zzzthewallzzz They were all verses from songs of theirs, Puns was a verse from "The Dream Shatterer" off Capital Punishment, and Mos Def's was from "Definition" off the Black Star album (I'm pretty sure).

[gamblerpuma]

@NChizzle But i heard that he first made freestyles and then he has taken the lyrics 4 do the songs! ;-)

[NChizzle]

@gamblerpuma Possible that they did, I know the last part of Puns verse in the video above wasn't on "The Dream Shatterer". I don't really care either way, still cool to see them all sitting around spitting verses.

[gfcff]

Mos Def left Pun hangin' @ 1:20

[VESSEL1991]

did anyone notice that the nigga behing Pun is missing a hand?!? o.O

[keydoe410]

c this is wht tha game has been missing this that shit i been looking for these new rappers cant fuck with them niggaz from tha 90's ilove this type of shit baltimore what up

[Ozdgenius]

Classic cyph.

[MLJP820]

big pun is the best ever.

[al7omed8Ball]

"a hardcore artist is a dangerous man, such as maself, trained to run 20 miles on soft sand" -Canibus

Scientific lyrical genious

I rhymed with him the whole thing, its from "cannibus-2nd round k.O"

[FamousChris14]

[Slum666Elementz]

Are y'all a bunch of idiots??? Sick of hearin faggots sayin' "There not freestyles, those are off songs" "Big Pun just used his 'Dream Shatterer' verses".....Really you guys that stupid....When this shit was recorded 'Dream Shatterer' hadn't even be released yet, this was the first time he freestyled this shit on camera or in front of niggas so get ur facts right 'fore you say it ain't a fuckin freestyle...All rappers do that...They take past freestyles and use them as songs, don't know?

[DJTone17]

This right here is beautiful history. Real hip hop will never die!

[Jensiebo]

looks cool how DMX and Mic Geronimo(?) cuddle their heads ghehe

[Jensiebo]

@Jensiebo ahh now its probably Mos Def or John Forte? I really dont know, except for the others

[imasavage504]

HOW CAN YOU FUCKIN LAMES EVEN BRING UP SOME BITCH THAT NAMED HIS ALBUM "IM GAY" IN A VIDEO WITH RAPPERS ON THIS TIER AND OF THIS AGE?! so fuckin stupid this younger generation is.

[zecxixo]

Damn! What a great footage! What year is it from?

[infamous2799]

@zecxixo They were all fresh and new in 1998. 98 hip hop kept it going with raw raps and straight spitter. Now niggaz is mad wack.

[brutaka101]

[sunchipspfp]

@Simonmodule no hes right, not a diss, but hes right. mic was the only one who freestyled

[daplaya88]

@Teran305 freestyle doesnt have to mean you freestyle from youre mind its also a freestyle to rap a few bars you have written !

[willludsgoesham]

@Teran305 who cares the best lyrics was pun, mic ger couldnt write a better 16 a thousand times over

[BewareOfTheDoggz]

Canibus didn't freestyle, he performed his first single

[brentoslikementos]

Haha Dmx's expression after the freestyle... it was like "someone say I suck.. that verse was about you motherfuckers lol"

[ChicagoFire13]

[dutchmaster8889]

[slider4life]

"Reverse that, I curse at the first wack nigga with the worst rap

cause he ain't worth jack

Hit him with a thousand pounds of pressure per slap

Make his whole body jerk back, watch the earth crack

hand him his purse back"

BIG PUN!
