Def Jux Freestyle (Mr. Lif & El-P) live @ Criminal Records

[came2getbusy]

best label that has and will probably ever exist. and cut the shit with the mainstream is all wack and underground is all fire. there's wack main and undeground all you gotta do is listen

[emcce69]

Why do people even compare Wayne to any underground hip-hop artist. Most mainstream rappers can't eve hold a candle to any undergound hip-hop artist.

[jag57505]

u know what i wanna see lil wayne against lif. shit'll be tight

[NUmightyhealthyJERU]

dope dudes

[trinadox]

why are the doing this over Smut?

[SauerkrautProduction]

Over the beat to Escape to 88 from Cage niice

[rawjhaw]

@SauerkrautProduction I meant to post to see if anyone knew that first beat - but you hooked it up. that Cage track is hardcore, btw. good lookin out - thanks.

[ktmrider141]

i love how there freestyle is better than any mainstream garbage lol. JMT, LIF, El-P, AESOP ROCK, SNOWGOONS, AOTP THE BEST, oh ya and of coarse Wu-Tang!

[sportsdude18111]

EL P is nicer then Eminem hes more consistent he just doesnt have the same look or cartoon lyrics so they hate on him but you never here him make a corny song like eminem does all the time.

[rawjhaw]

I bless ya'll with lyrics

that'll resurrect ancient indian spirits - right off the plantation

with one incantation - I saved ya'll from damnation

This video is beast. They both get nice, but Lif just tears this shit up. And that beat is straight sickness.

[logsy1014]

whats the name of that 2nd instrumental? ive only heard it used as a remix for the eastern conference allstars.

any one know it?

[antsorter]

its a shame def jux is on hiatus, they had some great rappers and albums on their label :<

[kublaikhan1215]

@antsorter Camu Tao just dropped! RIP! and El-P's instrumental album too!!!

[jeffreybiderpdee]

dope ass beat with two dope ass mc's.

I fell in love with I Phantom its weird i listened to it once and didn't care for it but the second time through i was instantly hooked like fuckin crack.

I love El P as a producer but admittedly im still warming up to his solo work. After a while im sure ill love it as much as Lif. Always a CoFlow lover tho....

[pm2007est]

God, Lif is the best MC of all time.

[nemesis700]

oooooooooooo

jeru who fell off fantastically?

nahh kidd...he never fell off

[djheks1]

yeah boston underground hiphop at its finest

[kapajita9]

than we hear of the soulja boys or even the jeezy's r'nt shit against this. fuck cormecial hiphop.soon the real dshit will be respected again and the tv hiphop will be ignored and will starve!

[zero252525]

see this is pure rap,im into death metal n all tha,but see he's a lyrical genious,fucking epic guy to be honest,in my opnion 50cent is fake rap,fuck that aha :]

[DeftJay]

Did you hear canibus come back at eminem in melatonin magik? I think Bis is saying something here...in order for real hip hop to be shown again, underground emcees need to get up and start destroying mainstream rappers.

Anyways, Mr Lif is sick.

[kublaikhan1215]

@DeftJay HELL YES!!!! Love that new BIS album!!! The Dragon of Juhad!!! check out the remix to that song produced by Sicknature! Snowgoons for life NIGGA!!!

[jpsmith89]

Lif didn't flow to with the beat very well but his content was sick. Props...

[Empty4330]

Mr. Lif is a monster. He KILLED it.

[thirdshift47]

"With one incantation I saved ya'll from damnation."

Wow.

[Chikagba]

@thirdshift47 "resurrect indian spirits straight off the plantation" Hell yes

[kamikazefilms1]

I like LIf's tone on this was good. Less playful sound good.

El-P was SICK.

[alexsuarez85]

yo man el-p killed it real freestylre!

[bbell64591]

DAM!!!! MR. LIF KILLED IT

[pm2007est]

Had to say El-P is repeating himself like a drunk does. El-P's freestyle was fuckin sick. If u don't think so listen to it again, with your f-in ears.

[pm2007est]

Lif is really real, gotta see him live, he spits like this, high energy, real heady rhymes. Cant believe this is freestyle, u could make a t-shirt with every one of his rhymes.

[MoncusB]

That was the shit. both verses.

[mpchead621]

el-p killed it. dont thumbs down me. he killed it. what do you guys mean he was "ok". mr lif was really good too. but this is one of el-ps best freestyles (that ive ever heard)

[ckoneaguanegra]

EL PUTO AMO!!!

MR.LIF!!!

[IMattNovakI]

Ahh, i liked mr lif here more. El-p was aight but he kinda was loosing it. Its tough, but w/e everyone has their ups and downs.

[Ipwnallofyou]

i know i dont know what happened to the man jeru.. went from dready to baldhead.. i still love his old shit

[gunnarguppi]

hahaa :D good ol' Lif - he's one of my absolute favourite happy-go-lucky nerd-kid rappers - heh, who am I kidding? he kills that free-style.

[xRIKTERx]

And he's the only other human on the planet with the same hairstyle as MURS!

[WutDfuzz]

@xRIKTERx actually, MURS is the only human on the planet with the same hairstyle as Mr. Lif.

[Rickeeey1]

Wow, that's a real sick freestyle. Aesop Rock, Cage, Cannibal Ox and C-Rayz Walz would also make great verses in there.

[Deito25]

mr lif was fire. el p was ok but i laughed a lil when he said jeru who fell off fansstically. that was cold lol

[BestVideosEver01]

lmao, some times el-p's freestlyes go REALLY SHIT, not here though, he kept it together. company flow kicks ass.

[raygunz187]

iSTATUS Exclusive Interview with the Underground Legend Mr. Lif

[krapsicle]

el p said motherfucker every five seconds. i freestyle better when im just screwing around god. Mr. Lif lit his ass up

[konfect]

dope!

[fclss]

at last,some REAL freestyle,from the top of the brain. both of them ripped it!

[DBENDEL]

They're both ill as shit in their own way. Why do people feel the need to compare and pick an MC they think is better?

[apos101]

Naa in my opinion El P is a better rapper than Lif.

[caps1in1ya1ass1]

I don't wanna say somethin' to diss you, but you must be fuckin' crazy if you think that.

[1badass04z]

you must be smoking crack..lif owns

[apos101]

i like lif, i just think el is better

[themartinmanisdead]

Me too

[caps1in1ya1ass1]

El-P should stick to producing >_> Mr. Lif on the other hand is fucking dope.

[gabeisasexybeast]

no chance to adapt to this enviroment

you fail failed to meet the lyrical requirements

ever since i was in jail

maid bailed

grabbed a mic

never failed

[xpoondiggy]

Lif ripped it

[bellasenso]

this is what it's all about...

[IndianVampire]

I wonder how Lif would do in a rap battle against Lil Wayne... XD

"Best rapper alive" my ass

[funkymonkstemple]

Lif would win...

[mrBLACKSTAR86]

@IndianVampire please stop... you people annoy me with your consistant reference to lil wayn e and reminding me that he still exist

[rocky3493]

@mrBLACKSTAR86 You just earned yourself a thumbs up sir.

[TheGzarza]

@IndianVampire lol lif would make lil wayne commit suicide literally lil wayne wouldnt have to do anything his head would blow up with all the knowledge lif brings

[youtubinitupmatthewj]

@IndianVampire wayne doesn't battle, and leave wayne out of this

[NewBasicThoughts]

@youtubinitupmatthewj

fuck your wayne

[jaymz123456789]

@IndianVampire

Better.

[minn0x]

top notch

[oyoshe]

camu tao rest in peace.

[roboshuffle]

El-P is amazing.

Jeru did fall off... I think we were all fans of him 10-15 years ago though for sure.

[ShaneKarma376]

Err KIM Criminal sorry i have small text haha.

[ShaneKarma376]

This post was one of the reasons i got into recording live footage in the 1st place! Peace to Kid Criminal!

[stewpeezy72]

Lif got that Supa Nasty flow

[GoldenArmBandit]

Roflmao when he said "dude, man" the second time I almost died laughing.

[Errorkin]

What's with these cats dissing on El-P and Jeru. First of all, both of em are legends in their own right. Without Company Flow and El-P, I bet most of you internet shit-talkers wouldn't even know what Hip Hop is, let alone the underground. And Jeru is simply one of the greats. Period.

[Kr4zi4ur0mg]

he was a nerd. now he's shit. he was like a white person. listen to his accent its not like a black person's. Listen closely

[cycling4ever]

he´s from boston.

[sperdoj]

That's a beer you fucking clowns...lol it's a red stripe, that's the first words out of his mouth...

[ChGvr59]

Def Jux is a sick ass label Del, Mr Lif, RJD2, Aesop Rock. All of them kick ass El-p not that good of a freestyler but listen to smithereens that song is on point

[thirdshift47]

Why did El-P diss Ru?

Wish i could have caught this;Criminal Rec.use to be my stomping grounds.

[420DPhantom]

mr lif el-p and jeru are all wack

[reallywannakno]

thn why you watchin this she beitch

get the fuck off there dick if you dont like em

[ryankirk22]

who cares just enjoy the music...this shit is on point...

[420DPhantom]

he said jeru u idiot. either way, it was "called for" cus jeru the damaja is a faggot.

[1Redstud]

How can you even compare El-P to Jeru. Jeru is a legend. He fell off, but so did a lot of heads. El-P is not and will never be hot. Mr. Lif SHOULD be but that's another story.

[freegg888]

No; he said Jeru, anyone can see (hear) that. Ya hear dat???

[420DPhantom]

wtf that nigga just grabs a random bottle probably filled with perscription medicine and sips that shit. when he raps he sounds like he has a drug problem. and mr lif looks like steve urkel with dreds.

[420DPhantom]

look at this pie ass kid standing up 4 jeru. if u get tried by some pie ass base head like el-p then u know u aint shit. look at their fans. if ur fans are a bunch of nerds with names like "nirvana is cool" u know ur a gay ass nigga. i know ur all gonna talk shit cus i just offended u more by talking shit about favorite rappers than i would have if i slapped ur mom and poked a hole in ur inflateable girlfriends. i dont care wut u have to say, im right, ur gay, these niggas suck. fuck u

[SickeninglyILL]

ur the only faggot here, listen 2 My Chemical Romance ya fuckin homo

[satchnick]

Mate, 2pac was shite.

[csilvers420]

@satchnick suck my balls

[420DPhantom]

soldiers? more like nerds. wack ass niggas. these niggas r wack. el-p looks like a baser. wtf is he sipping on? that shit looks like a bottle of codine. i can freestyle better than both of them. "dude, man....dude, man... its like... come on...yea... excalibur! algebra! science! 18hundreds!" lol, that niggas nasty. not. Mr. Lif looks like he has parkinsons disease. his dreds look like the hat those clowns used 2 wear. u kno, the clowns that would act gay in midevil times. losers.

[kenbigley]

dats my soldias - mr liff & el-p

[medaswho]

el would melt half the game!yup,marshall too.oh man why he kill my boy jeru!

[GOLDENSUNxXx]

haha dam they real homies they always toghether spitting'

[nirvanaiscool]

fuck man mr lif was dope!

[freegg888]

That Jeru diss was uncalled for!

[OCTOMARVEL]

he said ja rule.... not jeru.

so therefore, its called for.

[jmiahb]

damn...looks ill!

[hydoken123]

ha ha dope but seriously thats not how you pronounce flan

[jmiahb]

jejej i love flan!

[discoprotection]

i wouldn't care if el completely assed out cuz his written is so dope

[jeleditor]

I had the chance to see mr.lif and el-p at the basement records, in San Fernando Valley

[mauricechowder]

it's all for fun people...why would you be criticizing someones freestyle...people do shit differently, i think it was dope...both of them...el has got some scatter mind flows so who cares if it rhymes or sounds good..un-rehearsed for a reason..its all laughs..plus im sure their worst lines would kill your best anytime..so eat the dick cookie

[ADAMOisMAD]

@mauricechowder Hahaha

[merajj]

i agree with certain previous posts, it was a fairly weak freestyle. love all three of them, but this just wasn't really amazing.

[7FAceD]

amazing isn't always good....imagine a world full of nothing but amazing things..boring..lol

[SoleAce]

Yeah they're metaphorical who doesn't know that? None of us would be posting comments if we didn't know that El-P and Lif are "metaphorical."

lol, It's like what you're trying to say in a nice way is, "You might be too stupid to understand." (Funny) Trust me I understand, just ain't crazy about it...

[njbrilla]

El Producto needs to stick to making beats bro. I love his shit and the Ill Sleep When Im Dead album was cool, but this freestyole is super wack. I spit better than this by 5 million%.

[mindgiants]

good shit good shit...

[RoaR3000]

...I am afraid to look at what is in SoleAce's play list...And i am more affraid of what "makes sence" too him...LOL

[SoleAce]

My Playlist? Don't worry about it, I've been listening to Mr Lif for an eternity. El-P, I never cared for. Sorry if I don't think this is a good freestyle, you could find guys on Youtube that aren't even know freestyle better than this. Sorry if I'm not foaming at the mouth over this clip.

[republicofsalo]

You're missing the point. I remember the "Elektro" (spell it right)/Rebel Alliance days. I don't deserve any awards for that, but just to say that in my years as a fan, I've seen plenty of genuine freestyles. Compared to anything on record, they all sound horrible. Sometimes you have to repeat stock phrases in order to keep the rhyme going. Everybody does that.

[SoleAce]

"Like blow me, hey YO!"

I agree and apologize for the spelling, honestly this freestyles not that bad. And you are totally right about the repetition, it's just that I get the feeling that I've heard El-P say it too much.

[sneakerheadforlife]

is lif having a lyrical seizure

[yoshxl]

nuff respect. def jux eternal!

[kleptoonthemic]

this shit is hot garbage

[Jackalz]

SNOOOOOOOOOOORE.

Stick to writing.

[Andrew13579]

SNOOOOORE> SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCK, I SNORE after i bang your mom you fuck

[SoleAce]

Sorry, but they stink. Realistically their rhymes make no kind of sense...

[Andrew13579]

SoleAce YOU FUCCCCKKK:@:@:@:@ you stink you fucken cunt kiff....SSHIT TALKING MOTHERFUCKER SHUT THE FUCK UP

[SoleAce]

I've been listening to Mr Lif since the Electro Days. You probably don't even know what that is.

Take your book bag wearing, wannabe rapping ass back to Canada you Fucking-Canadian-Frog. I was listening to this trash before you were even in highschool, Little Boy.

As much as people say they love El-P I've never heard the guy say anything aside from "El-Dash Producto, break you down to the last fractal component," it's like the guys stuck in a rhyming loop.

[LovesToDrift]

Sounds like somebody needs to grow a set before he can start riding SoleAce's ass.

[SoleAce]

Thank You, Thank You, occasionally The Darkness Overcomes...

[krazeewookie429]

Freestyles arent always going to make sense

[SoleAce]

You're right about that, but that doesn't mean this Flamer has to act like a Canadian Douche about it...

[krazeewookie429]

I guess

[filly255]
