Mos Def acapella freestyle at Magic

[shifty0450]

This isnt off the top of the dome, look up "white drapes". Its just that song.

[cosmonautiks]

when Mos was a little kid all he did was practice his freestyle. walking to school, watching tv, in the shower, on the toilet.

[QuoteNotes16]

mighty mos def

[dirty47]

Mos is nuts!!!!! (Not a freestyle, by the way.)

[dante3472]

You're wack like crack!

[Finkster5]

Wish the sound quality was better so I could actually hear what he was saying.

[acebrawler73]

Dude he's really good. Because he's really smart. Its all about knowledge. Its like what Del Close said about comedy "the more you know about, the more you can joke about.". Well the same applies to a rapper. The more you know about the more you can rap/rhyme/sing about. Knowledge is key. Successful people read. Failures sit at home and watch successful people on t.v.

[rxking377]

flow smooth as butter

[karim0123]

what a shit crowd .

[PtomJoghnson]

@karim0123 They just want to be able to hear him.

[pitbikerider285]

Mos, please never get into the mainstream, just let us who know of you, know about you, mainstream is ruining talent, look at Wiz Khalifa, he's not bad, but he is definetly not at his climax!

[trinigyal627]

This isn't a freestyle. It's from an album.

[YunggPaisleyyBoyy]

Shout out to the homeboy HYPHYCRUNK in the background on the turntables!

[weirdkid352]

[itzahazylife]

[purplemyssst]

; )

[elboyOBE]

this is hip hop

[bigmorukloop]

this ain't freestyle, lyrics of the song named white drapes. search.

[AussieJacobx]

you guys want to hear a joke? lil wayne

[lodester]

i dream of a world where the general population is educated enough to know how and when to use the words "where" vs. "were".

Fuck freestyle, pick up a book.

[RICHARDcGABRIEL]

@lodester yikes ..spare him

[eyeammi]

If he might as well been speaking in tongues to a beat for all I can tell then, since when, does rhythmic incomprehensibility stand in for inspired linguistic agility in the end? 

[Dolla54321]

it's hot but not freestyle, it's lame that mos masquerades as an off the dome rapper but all his shit is already thought up

[cHristoPPer101]

@Dolla54321 have u ever heard mos def say "this is a freestyle?" then spit something?

[noopennames]

@Dolla54321 the person who uploaded the video called it a freestyle not mos...

[devious1080]

the woman @1:52 did not look happy....

[Haarithwarsama]

what the hell is he sayin?!!

[ninaastarlight]

Mos Def is da truth.... :o)

[supafresh1000]

ima 15 year older rapper i just posted a video of me freestyling for Naughty by Nature(rap legends)comment. and subscribe

[saulsberrysteak]

i think mos def is the reincarnation of the son of god ;)

[IronMindedGods]

BROOKLYN GO HAAAAAAAARD

[Mcleod2daMax]

Mos Def = Legend

I wanna know when Hip Hop lost this type of intelligence, I mean when did the beat become bigger than the lyrics..... it's like life, gotta keep a balance (eg Gang Satrr - Premier and Guru)

[Capcomsteve99]

@Mcleod2daMax its a shame guru died

[Mcleod2daMax]

@Capcomsteve99 a true legend, massive loss for the game. I have to say though, I like the collaborations between Premo and Royce da 5'9, that shit is tight, and sounds like legitimate 90's stuff. so there's hope :)

[msbombshell3]

its funny how ppl mention wack/lame ass "rappers" when watching a mos def video. none compare to mos def which is why you are watching this video lol idiots..

[GEMENI76]

The Mighty MosDef=RealHipHop!!

[JDMEXforme]

Jay z What?!? Mos is a beast!

[MyDogBrownie]

Damn Mos Def is one of the best ! He could bust a rhyme while takin a painful shit if he had to.

He could bust mo rhymes than Busta Rhymes!

[hippieho1]

this guys a legend but this was far from his best still feelin it tho

[sporabolic]

HOT DAMN, that crowd just stood there! what a bunch of failers!

[chicofreako]

you know what souja boy is doing his brand of music..want better music..find it or  make it

peace

[loyesj]

that was like the worst freestyle ever who is this guy and where is soulja boi

[4DA4life]

soulja boy sucks so nobody cares where he is

[StuttersDaily]

i really hope your joking cause if not its people like you who make me wanna kick myself in the face

[pb0o6]

you can kick yourself in the face? i'd like to see that video.

[valenecia]

@loyesj

Wow....lol.

-_-

[jakejakeharrison]

LOL FUCK SOULJA BOI this guy is a legend!

[jakejakeharrison]

[mustard430]

loyesj

im taking that was a joke. cuz it cant be serious...

[loyesj]

GOD yes it was a joke I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT­E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( SB

Black Dante.... thats my nigga

[con7en7]

for sure, this was not a freestyle. No matter, this was regardless a straight gem mos dropped. I couldn't tell you what song it's from (or if it's been in one), but I'm sure this was written. Big up to intelligent emcees

[9tiin]

now that is rapp.fuck all these death glorifying,homicidal,genocidal­,suicidal rapp.mos def is one of the greatest

[BeetleAngry]

I don't understand how rappers can freestyle like that. How do you come up with lines so fast? =x

[chopstix720]

They practice and have shit memorized. The technique of it is what lyrics you use, and how you put it together- mos does it pretty fuckin well no doubttt

[RICHARDcGABRIEL]

true man ..the more you practice ..the faster old stuff will come to mind

[heebs907]

15 or more years of freestyling on a regular basis. . . everyone sucks at some point

[ReaLD3AL]

99% of rappers that say theyre freestyling arent, only that small 1% like Mos can come up with sick shit like this off the top of the dome

[hamslammer69]

that was a ridiculous spit sess

[hediyah]

Love his style..

[omgfmlwtfsmb]

Ezekiel 25:17, thats gangsta

[jtmk43]

The mighty Mos Def

[TheCaliprince]

no new hip hop artist out on the radios and mainstream can come close to mos def

[gonji90]

@TheCaliprince lupe.

[TheyCallMeProphit]

@gonji90 lupes not new though.

[sunnyhulk3]

@TheCaliprince b.o.b and eminem lyrically

[ComboNational]

@TheCaliprince Everything on the radio and mainstream = Grade school rap.

[mateofleckito]

you know mos def is unique and better than everybody else when it comes to timing and flow because he's one of the only people i've seen that can seem to keep a great beat going even if he doesn't have a beat in the background helping him out....and it's still just as entertaining as when he has a beat.

[RICHARDcGABRIEL]

oh my gosh

[khris2dafullest]

mos def is dat shit

he stay spitin fire

[gswaggachic]

ddddddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­gggggggggggggggggg

[xmcflapsx]

the gezza that cheers at the end sounds like a dieing cat lmao!

[PakelikaMayne]

no one beats supernatural. hands down, period, end of story.

[TraceurKel]

That's what made Blackstar immortal.

Mos Def - Written rap/Freestyle

Talib Kweli - Freestyle

[snakekilla]

expound

[TheElfucko]

i dream of a world were all hip hop is as good as this

[nithorium]

@TheElfucko Be happy that we already have Mos Def, and related act Talib Kweli.

[pcgneurotic]

@nithorium "and related act" - what are you, a search engine prediction robot? ;)

[Gangstapocslypse]

@TheElfucko but then it wouldnt be good at all

[ebpm4life]

holy shit!

[EricaYE6]

HIP HOP HIP HOP!!!

[REDSOXNYG]

mos def is just nasty, period!!!

[FireWaterBurn]

mos def is nasty on the mic, better than Talib

[soulmman]

Absolutely, I always enjoyed him more, though all respect to Talib!

[CraziThug]

Pure rap/hiphop thatz wut ii like from Mos he is real..

[elderelite]

For the real check John Doe' DEATH TO HIP HOP.

[siyo99]

Krayzie Bone the most under rated rapper in the world, best thats doin it

[jarmstrong026]

Mos Def is the real s#*t! Doom, Common, Hi-Tek, Handsome Boy Modeling School.

[trequanfunny]

probably da sikest rapper aliv

[stapleboy7]

DOOM but I like Mos Def too

[pimptastic13]

I gotta disagree. MF Doom's albums are nice, but he doesn't even perform live himself all the time. He has other poeple wear the mask at shows. For Real.

[sleepybag]

which is villian like and part of DOOM!

[myusernamewastaken]

he's tied with Blu in my book.

[StutterinG123]

Blu?! Blu is dope but Mos is one the illest their's ever been son. Thats like saying Lupe is tied with Nas. Lupe is good, but Nas is just too fucking sick

[myusernamewastaken]

man..last year I wouldve agreed with you 101%. Lupe < Nas (Illmatic era) Lupe vs. present Nas....ehh im not sure about. Mos Def was always my fav rapper since Blackstar. Blu's the only other emcee to make my head nod like the might mos.

[matto902]

mos is one of the best rappers around that for sure, but his written lyrics are alot better than his freestyle.

[fatblueserpentswells]

fuck i missed it!

[6663000]

Mos Def is awesome.

[drjones087]

obvious troll

[GLeNss]

[kamikazefilms1]

[Hempstergloves666]

[Platano0587]

[oldjea]

[ThaLostVerse]

[wiillstar]

[MrHippie]

1:53 - lol, ugly white girl hangs her head in shame because she knows she's at the wrong venue. Shania Twain is down the hall bitch!

But damn, Mos Def-inetly got it going on. That was like two minutes without stopping for a breath even.

[BlackJack719]

Mos Def is the illest of the ill. Not too many katz can touch his lyrics, ESPECIALLY none of them mainstreaM DUDES

[kngjames83]

I would go out on a limb and say NOBODY can touch Mos...He'd probably out rhyme his self if he had a clone lol...

[Jabbaro123]

Future Hip Hop Hall Of Famer.

[Datpmp505]

not a freestyle but it was on point

[skymunro]

you dont know what your talking about

[hanaaB]

"u can talk till u die and u aint said this...." absolutely correct, no1 can match the boogyman with his effortless lyrical dexterity on the mic...
