Common & Rakim Freestyle

[May5871]

@BiancaDolencio I think that the instrumental is on Diamond D's first album "Stunts, Blunts & Hip-Hop" called I went for mine, so go for yours. All I know is if you can find it on tape, it's the last song on the first side....

[BiancaDolencio]

Does anyone know what instrumental this is? D: D:

Man, I've seen The "R" freestyle off-the dome several times, and I agree: when this brother is burning, he's devastatingly on-point! Words just drop from his brain to his tongue like a gumball machine. He is, afterall, the God of Hip-Hop. Here he's using about 7% of his skills...love to see and hear the whole show, but this is the kind of shit I just love to watch! Thanks for uploading MaShPG.

[harmonious58]

I just downloaded this mp3 at audiogetnow..com

[Xiiav]

Ra doesn't freestyle enough. But when he does, it's fire.

[guerrillabeast2010]

Damm Props on the Video hommie... you should go pro with a proper cam cause the video was good giving benefit of the doubt and the sound was on point

plus common rocked that shit!!!

[Blessed2bFresh]

[dhtjlghks]

[aryien17]

rakim is the GOAT

[turbonbc]

biggie

ice cube

[Eman9x1x2]

Where's GZA?Inspectach Deck?GangStarr?Cormega? and much more, and u only put EIGHT!?!...son explore a lil more and then make "your" top .peace

[7thOmnipotence]

inspectah deck has no place in top lyrical rappers, maybe one of the top lyrical rappers in wu tang but not in the GOAT

[OldSchoolApprentice]

Rza also homie hes like a prophet with astronomical phillosofy lyrics (: i think hes a beast

[OldSchoolApprentice]

forgot to mention Immortal technique is a Genius (: yall know that

[SoDamnGangsta]

the only two that deserve to be on that list are rakim and nas

[jspears19]

4 got GZA, I Deck, MF Doom, Canibus as well

[kaiyeem]

I hate to disagree, im from chicago and kangay will never be close to common lyrically NEVER. Also KRS 1 is the G.O.A.T rakim allah is second, kool g rap third

[kaiyeem]

WTF dude I'm from Chicago and Lupe Fiasco is not even close to being better than COMMON, so TECHNEQUAL and RIKUTAKA stop it. COMMON has given you nothing but classics, none of LUPE's song can compare to I USE TO LOVE HER. Please I know it's your opinion, but lets be real you two, stop acting FUGAZY! COMMON is the best rapper out of my CITY hands down. You two probably think Nelly is better than KRS 1.

[MFSilverOxide]

I'm giving Diverse, Do or Die and Just Ro more respect than Lupe now.

[asheru7heads]

school these new jacks!!!! but yo, i been in this hip hop shit too long so im about to drop more fact than opinion. common is the illest bcuz he understands the artform so he will never lose his cred hip hop but he is losin his touch. i think if he dont do somethin quik kanye will surpass him lyrically bcuz hes been doin it consistently on a pen n pad tip. im not sayin kanye is a better emcee cuz first of all dude cant freestyle for shit but com sense gotta start take shit seriously......

[asheru7heads]

he still got down ass fans out there cuz i think we are all waiting for the next "resurrection" album. but to do that he gotta take some time out n come back. common will reign supreme!!!

rakim = G.O.A.T.

[tiankr]

busta rhymes - new york shit

[romanianrapper]

whats the beat called ??

[Technequal]

Rakim = G.O.A.T. no doubt.

Common = Midwest 2nd best

[SkysReply]

yeah commons dope,

who's the first best from the midwest in your opinion?

[rikutaka]

Lupe in my op.

[tiankr]

common killed it, and rakim bringing classics as always

[rottenpoop23]

They were both freestyles.

[emceeAMile]

I saw Rakim at Hip-Hop Live in Seattle back in November!! With Ghostface and brother Ali. Rakim is the best emcee, no doubt

[Soulchildsoul]

Classic! Common & Rakim!

[PsyberP]

yall are SHITTIN.

Diamond D dropped this beat way back in 92, busta jacked this joint in 06. dont get it twisted.

[Chaostamer]

Common killed Rakim. Rakim is by far the illest emcee ever, but Com's freestyle was really impressive.

[PhillyEaglesFan4Life]

yeah but rakim actually did this off the top of the dome

[Chaostamer]

What, Com's wasn't? And actually, since I last heard it, Rakim's verse has impressed me more anyways.

[truelieskando]

naa commons was aswell

[Rakim360]

Niiice.

that beat is good too, does anyone know what song its from?

[FSG2]

The beat's from Busta Rhymes' "New York Shit".

[reparations07]

the camera line was used in other freestyles,rakim's was off the dome.

[youcef]

He always does that. Before he says the camera line, it's all off the dome. Coms a true freestyler.

[hiphopisknowledge]

why are people arguing bout who shitted on who...bof these niggas are goats in there own right -NOW LETS SEE COMMON MURDER LIL WAYNE YOUNG JEEZY LIL THIS AND YOUNG THAT -AND WAIT FOR RAKIMS ALBUM TO DROP 07-07-07-

[dmuhammad7]

HIP HOP from the older and younger gods!!!

[laid904]

what beat is this

[hotsauce8984]

New York Shit by Busta Rhymes

[PirateBoy24]

lol busta rhymes. Ra over all! (but tupac)...and dre...third. yep.

[ffs2006]

wooooooooo i was really feeling that

[goofykidberemy]

Busta Rhymes?!?

WTF?

Are you fucking crazy? Thats like putting Peyton Manning and Tom Brady up against Charlie Frye. Just like frye won't win, neither will Busta. Respect to Busta and all, but Common and Rakim are some of the best of all time, no doubt. You need to learn what rap is ass hole.

[MFSilverOxide]

Rakim Vs Common? Winner: Busta Rhymes

[88GURP]

Yeah common was ripp'n that shit

[LGLEWIS]

that's the bullshit ..as true lovers of hip hop we cannot

keep saying that one shitted on the other.. and all that devisive bullshit... you can show your appreciation for the emcee of your liking without degrading the other.. simply put emcees of this caliber rakim could win a battle one day... two days later common could win..knamean.. let's BUILD THIS SHIT... AND QUIT LETTING OTHER IGNANT ASS MUTHAFUCKAS THROW SALT IN OUR SHIT..PEACE

[dola072093]

I'm a big rakim fan but I feel like common took it

[thephreek]

true. But Ra is the best when it comes to written shit, no matter how long he's been in the game he just keeps the same distance from other rappers by gettign better and better.

[5arge]

Rakim as that nigga. But 4 real Common's freestyle was better. we on that mid-west shit.

[esb369]

Actually Common shitted on Rakim. Ra just hype man freestyled

[ashez721]

[LeeAmes]

Rakim toasts common.
