@alchemitone This beat was made by Large Professor back in '92. This is from the remix of Gang Starr's Gotta Get Over (Taking Loot) The beat is so ill...
I hate when niggs dont get their facts right,,Most of the Illmatic album was written from freestyles- basically it was all one takes and improvised recording...well mastered...but obviously he writes the best lyrics in hip hop,,,just figured I´d put my two cents in..yall can continue on
Theres no such thing as an off the top freestyle when it comes to ryming on a radio station...NAS is the illset lyracist EVER...Hes a top 5 MC by any standard,..& he made the #1 ILLEST hiphop album of alltime, w/" ILLMATIC"...Step ur fuckin hiphop knowledge up
no man nas obviously didnt spit this off the dome, a freestyle session doesnt mean strictly going off the dome. it just means the session is free of "style". its just like playin around. nas is just showing hte amazing lyrics that HE came up with
A "freestyle" is initially a written excerpt from a previously written track that has not been released, which is rhymed over any given beat. NOT made up rhymes on the spot.
why are yall guessing, rappers have BEEN saying freestyles are not off the dome only, thats a form of it, spitting written rhymes as freestyles was the definition that new yorkers went by, to say freestyle has to be restricted down to off the dome really isnt a free style now is it?? when hip hop expanded the meaning of it changed, but i prefer to go by the definition that the place that birthed freestyle in hip hop uses it, to them, off the dome wasnt freestyling, it was off the dome.
Yo it doesn't matter whether or not it's a freestyle. If y'all cats ain't noticed yet, a lot of rappers use written lyrics on freestyles to try them out over different beats and also because those lyrics are just fucking dope, written or off the dome. Consider this. Nas is spitting some rhymes from Represent here. Represent was recorded in 1993. This freestyle is from 1993. Nas could've spit these lyrics off his dome in this freestyle and then used it in his LP. Either way the lyrics are dope.
@HBKvsTazMUDM Actually, I listened the interview when this was recording, he was on the show before his CD was released in January. So, technically...this was released before the ''original" version. Dude, I notice this alot, all people want to do is bring something down to their level, pathetic.
@SOADownsnubs Yeah I mean it shouldn't matter whether they were written or not, to me Nas is my favorite rapper so he could do any sort of rhyme and make that shit sound good. Plus in my opinion Illmatic is the greatest musical album of all time, no doubt.
@HBKvsTazMUDM lol he didn't spit it off the dome, that's blatantly obvious. very few rappers can actually freestyle and make it sound natural and say something of substance at the same time. its almost always a written and it has been since forever, the only people who think otherwise are white kids who think the 90s is the end all be all for rap
@notillatall The point is that the lyrics are dope no matter if they were off the dome or not. And Hip Hop in the 90s was incredible. Best decade for the genre.
90% of this is from his Illmatic song "Represent". Even the rest that is not on the song is undoubtedly written. Nas is one of the illest ever, but he has never been known to freestyle.
this is not a song, it might be a written that he claims is a freestyle but I doubt it cuz nas is really good. you know it's not an actual song because he says: "blow you just before you cock your glock black" at like 1:09 It's supposed to be glock back and if it was an actual song he would do a redo.
@NarutoJSRF6 It's definitely from Stretch and Bobbito....Stretch and Bob were just recently back on KCR for the 20th anniversary/reunion show and Stretch specifically mentioned that "Yo better get it on time kid" part at 1:05....classic shit for sure.
@RichyJA this is back wen bandanas were part of peoples outfits.... before people started using them for gang flags... i dont think nas would wear it if he knew it was crips color nas to intelligent for gangs... but yea kinda do look like a crip
@GEasy5 they had crips and blood back then...but it wasnt a new york thing...it never was and never will be....we represent what were about...we dont need to follow others to become a great....we got OUR great values
this was actually from '92. Just a historical correction. Classic none the less
