Duck Down Cipher In The Park - Union Square, NYC

[dablakryu]

let's see young money do something like that

[Urbnartz]

Leave it to Bootcamp to rep the culture right. Anyone hating on this is a fool, Duck down been keepin' it real from time. If this cipher isn't real enough peep "Session at the doghouse" or virtually any other video's from Duck Down/Boot Camp from the 90's.

[hlholden]

I liked it

but it isn't so much of a 'Cipher' as it is a 'Showcase'.

[CadiKid101]

skyzoo killed that though

[doc7114]

This is a pretty fake cipher. Nothing like the real ones. I mean, it was all organized by a record label, and half of them are rapping into the camera.

[hlholden]

@doc7114 They shouldn't have named it "Cipher".

[doc7114]

@hlholden yeah, its fine if its just a group of people rapping, but not if they pretend its a cypher.

[funoverfame1]

[Liban2na]

@calfan3 They can afford lambos and they got women, but they choose not to constantly talk about that in their songs. They got better stuff to say.

[chychy1]

whats the beat in the begining pleaseeee some 1 the one witht he pinao 00:27 please i really need it

[MagnumDB]

@chychy1

Mary J Blidge - "I Love You" (1994) which was sampled from Isaac Hayes' "Ike's Mood I" (1970)

[chychy1]

@MagnumDB i know many but whats the hip hop version of it i heard a hip hop song with the same instrumental please let me know if you know :P ?

[MagnumDB]

@chychy1

As far as I can tell, what you here in the video is a loop Mary J Blidge's version of that sample. In terms of others who have used it, there are MANY. KNoeck Em Out Da Box by Naughty By Nature, Soldier by DMX, Beautiful Mind by Cormega, Today by Royce Da 59, Make The Music With Your Mouth by Biz Markie, 6 Minutes Of Pleasure by LL Cool J, No Guns, No Murder by Rayvon, The Mobb by Dru Down, Holy Matrimony by Foxy Brown... there's way more! Remember the lyrics at all?

[chychy1]

@MagnumDB tnx my dude your a real g. the song was the ryoce the 5'9 one lol but how did you find some many songs so quick :O? i searched for the song and couldent find it ;p?

[MagnumDB]

@chychy1

I have a secret weapon. Google this: "whosampled" Top result.

[jyp523]

It's like f**in saying can u get any whiter than all those dudes Naledge listed: Whiter than Mozart, Leonardo.

[te6creep]

BUCKSHOT è FATTO COME UN COMODINO

[khordkutta]

"Freestyle" today means, written shit thats gonna be on a album in the future.

[devastateification]

So true. When I freestyle I can't even remember what I say.

[BILLDIRTYjr]

@devastateification that means u were truely at the moment being wat hip hop is sappose to be one with yourself

[KINDOS11]

""A lot of the old-school artists didnt even respect whats being called freestyle now... any emcee coming off the top of the head wasnt really respected. The sentiment was emcees only did that if they couldnt write. The coming off the top of the head rhymer had a built-in excuse to not be critiqued as hard"

-Kool Moe Dee

...maybe he's not a "real" emcee cause he's not a backpack rapper from 2000, i dunno...

[ZoNeBx1160]

who gives a fuck if this shi wasnt mprovised..all of em did their thing, shit was dope i enojoyed it aint nothin betta then spittin in cypher in da park weathr its freestyled or pre-written u still gotta make sure ur shit i tough & ur flow 7 delivery is on point

[Finallythankyou]

@ZoNeBx1160 Agreed.. My arched enemies beat bootcamp in a cipher (early) 93 or so... I had to respect that.

[iwasbornspecial]

Well like everything else hiphop has become a business instead of a science. in the business world a "freestyle" is one take no pad. in my world its saying words as they float in your head and losing yourself in the moment. its a reflextion of your thoughtless mind.

[onalaptop2]

cool ass shit

[KINDOS11]

skyzoo goes too hard dude

[igotssssoul]

Boring. No one freestyled. All written material and even that didn't impress me. WTF happened to "freestyle" meaning off of the dome? Somebody get on the phone and call Eyedea...

[KINDOS11]

WTF happened to people knowing what `freestyle`` means. A freestyle can be off the dome, or something you have planned out in your head or memorized, a freestyle is when a rapper spits on the spot, without writing something down ON PAPER. period. In fact 99% of radio or video freestyles are writtens... go check biggie on the wake up show... its a freestyle and he spits verses from long kiss

[igotssssoul]

Wow. That's NEVER what freestyle meant. Anything pre-written or pre-formulated or "memorized" is NOT freestyle. The radios and videos you refer to are NOT freestyle. They're all RECITALS. If it's not improved, it's not freestyle. You're obviously young and have grown up in the era where the definition of "freestyle" has become the wack shit you just stated. Look up MC's like Eyedea, Juice, SuperNat, Alius, Black Thought, Sage Francis, etc.., they FREESTYLED.

[KINDOS11]

Wow. You just started listening to rap a few years ago didn't you? "Freestyle" originally meant anything that wasn't written on paper, read interviews with guys like Big Daddy Kane and Special Ed, and they say that guys who used to come off the top of the head were less respected, because they had an automatic excuse for being worse. like man... that was a bold statement for you to make without even looking your shit up.

[goldentrophy]

Exactly everybody's favourite rappers have spittin pre written freestyles.90% of the freestyles people hear on the wake up show and stretch & Bobbito were pre written i mean one of the most legendery cyphers with DMX,Canibus,Mos Def,Big Pun etc had all pre written plus Nas,Big L,Biggie,AZ,Chino XL,Ras Kass,KRS 1,Kool G Rap,Percee P,Lord Finesse Eminem are all elite lyricist and have done it and some fools on here are catching feeling from a pre writ lol freaking pathetic man.

[jamalilbro]

look at the black guys face behind fonda when he says "my bowel movements are loose" hahahaha

[BiRdOfPrEynumber8]

hip hop lives on.

[WMUPBCITY]

Who believes these white guys, oh my god sorry I'm white myself and I love G-Unit but these guys are more PUSSY than victorias secret. I do workout everyday, I do business, I do have my gat and I'm not even from america! These other dudes weren't bad, this buck guy been good.

[Slammball]

Skyzoo is tuff

[quillskillz]

Buck was the only one who did anything improvised. Look at the middle aged white dude behind Torae when he is spittin'. Dude looks like he landed on the moon haha

[8illmatic3]

skyzoo is always a great freestyler

[Metamophisis]

DOPE!

[MisterOriginal182]

shit was ill, lots of love for everybody doing there thing, many emcees all with unique flows, keep it going with the creativity.

[Estabrooks15]

Who said HipHop ain't a culture?? This shit is amazingggggg.

Felt like someone turned the temperature down to -40 degrees in here.. ya feel me??

This is what it's all about right here.

One love.

[XxHendrixChildxX]

skyzoo was ill

[SuicideSalkin]

Machine killed it, nice!

[FaTaL305]

Machines "Teaching kids to strangle the beats til the cease to exist." line blew my mind.

[msnikish1]

buckshot

[jermson]

Does anyone know the original title to the song with the piano playing in the beginning? I said the ORIGINAL not the Mary J. song.

[garifunaTV]

it's called "games people play" by sweet G produced by kurtis blow......

[jermson]

garifunaTV, good lookin'! However, I did some research and found the original is Isaac Hayes "Ike's Mood". Check it out, if you have time Youtube it. I found the song by Sweet G. I guess kurt was on his sample game as well.lol

[titansvolspredstwins]

@jermson Beautiful Mind by Cormega

[jermson]

titansvolspredstwins, I found it! Isaac Hayes"Ike's Mood" is the orignial. I down wit Mega Montona as well, my favorite verse from Mega came from "On the Real" and "Dead Man Walkin'".

ONE.

[Brdl]

why sean ain't on this?

he my favorite duckdown nigg

[stepitoutkid]

when do they do this im gonna go there and cipher

[bigdud12345]

wak

[babbacadabra]

because it's amazing

[lewchootrain]

I wonder if the Kidz in the Hall guy did that Forever 21 line b/c there was a Forever 21 on the street behind him, or if he actually had that one saved up. If it was off the head, nice one.

[sykoleprakaun85]

too bad none of these are freestyles. When are people gonna stop pawning prescripted shit off as a freestyle just cuz there's no beat behind it.

[EmsOnTheBeat]

the only one i know that can freestyle off the top is krs-one.

[Brdl]

@EmsOnTheBeat

Termanology can do that too and he spit fire

[muzikjay]

naledge was freestylin that.

[miracleman2323]

Look up the definition of freestyle..freestyle doesn't necessarily have to be prewritten, freestyle just means that you're rapping about a bunch of different things and that there's no real direction or storytelling.

Just look at the word- "Freestyle". Obviously meant to be a bunch of random lyrics you know what i mean

[igotssssoul]

No, not necessarily. Slick Rick was able to freestyle in story-telling form. Before being signed, that's what his block knew him for. Anyway, not to sidetrack, it's real simple. Freestyle rhymin is the same as freestyle anything. It's freely improving--that's it. You spit off of the top of your head--nothing prewritten or preconceived. It's just that simple.

[KINDOS11]

freestyle swimming isn't improvised

freestyle snowboarding just means you have the freedom to do whatever you want, but nobody comes up with the tricks and their run pattern on the spot, samething with freestyle motocross

freestyle skydiving is one of the most co-ordinated sports you could ever take part in, same with freestyle synchronized swimming

i could go on... im just trying to outline how stupid you look

[alleyeseing]

well said

[igotssssoul]

THANK YOU. I've got some herb at the top of the page arguing with me about what freestyling is. He believes as long as you're kicking a verse without a pen and pad in front of you, it qualifies as a "freestyle". Even if it's something that had been written or even a page torn right off of a song! lol. I can't believe that the wack ass radio and phony ass DJ's have convinced these kids that THAT'S what kickin a free is!

[KnottahGhen]

"i'm bringing new york back to that 89 winter." haha, most people won't even understand the meaning of that. peace out duck down. one love

[111HYPE111]

oh and machine has the wackest flow ever shits hard to listen to

[88OHA]

are you serious? don't lie to yourself sir, machine had one of the illest freestyles up in there. did you hear Rock? now that shit was wack and hard to follow.

[muzikjay]

no, he's just real. no fake accent. good flow, dope lines

[wutangx13]
