@spacecowboy5150 Mos def was doin Definition at a point too. Freestyle has a bunch of definitions, it's just we always relate it to "off the top." It's sometime dissappointing to discover its a song, but its still cool to hear it acapella and in this setting with all these legends.
@nbadraft08 ya and canibus was doin 2nd round knockout.it is still cool tho i love these guys. i was wonderin if it was a freestyle that he turned into a song like biggie turned his 95 freestyle into the song come on
@nbadraft08 alot of these guys do freestyles off the top of the head and then turn it into a song... ive noticed that quite abit with freestyles that were released and then a few months later a song comes out with the exact lyrics maybe changed around abit
notcie they all sound different from eachother, now a days they all rap the same, imagine if that was, drake,big sean, wayne they would all rap the same
canibus can rap but he is always a dramatic littte bitch, i dont want to play niggas but i deserve the right to anchor,lol get the fuck out of here, he needed more time to think of what he should rap, BIG PUN killed it
damn i love Punisher... he is the greatest of all time!!!! im proud still watchin' this video almost in 2012.... and some groupies stil watchin Wiz khalifa and shit!!! come on maneeee... this is RAP!!!
In the book 'How to Rap' Big Daddy Kane says, “In the ’80s when we said we wrote a freestyle rap, that meant that it was a rhyme that you wrote that was free of style… it’s basically a rhyme just bragging about yourself.” Myka 9 adds, “back in the day freestyle was busting a rhyme about any random thing, and it was a written rhyme or something memorised”.
r.i.p pun wish you had a longer run you could have helped to shape hiphop and avoid where we are now, i personally dont think you ever would have made european pop music. its obvious here that you were a force to be reckoned. anybody reading my comment go bump capital punishment that shit is TIMELESS
R.I.P BIG PUN, nad my nigga John Forté home from prison after getting hit with 1.4 million worth of coke at the airport, a table full of rap legends, once in a life time moment.
hate when people say shit about the pre written lyrics...of course the shit is pre written, think about it, if you get a shot or get paid to be on a video would you not prepare for it?
hooooooooooooooooooooooooooold up!! 'nuff said every1s lyrics werte pre written if y'all true hip hoppers and u support ur artists, u will know where each n every verse came from, all thesew emcees took verses n combined 'em wit verses from otha tracks but yo' that's what hio hop is about, u eva followed battle rap?? if u do u will know what i mean..big up to all of them brothers spitting the cyphers
all this came out before they put it on wax... nun of it except pun was freestyle... look in his eyes !!! anybody who been around a real cyfer would know a focused nigga gettin it in !!! im jus sayin
a hardcore artist is a dangerous man such as myself... trained to run 20 miles of soft-sand... on and off land... programmed to kick hundreds of bars off hand from a lost and forgotten land...... NEED WE SAY MORE? G.O.A.T
@Sidjohn87 Is it possible that Canibus freestyled this towards LL Cool J, then decided to use the lyrics in 2nd Round KO? A lot of rappers use freestyle verses later on in their songs
@WadeWestTv da fuck you talkin about..he's still dope! i just bought his newest album "Lyrical Law" and it's crazy! and his next albul is going to have 10,000 bars! he's still one of the GOAT
If your watching this video more than likely your searching for REAL lyricism, ORIGINAL concepts and DOPE production. Love it, hate it, it will elicit a response. I DARE you to check it out.
how canibus gonna spit the 2 round ko verse in this chyper not to diss him that song was one of the best diss songs eva but that was wack of him to wanna go last and spit that...pun verse was the best
@life55998 he went at Em for not being there for Proof and went and D12 and Nas....FUCK CANNIBUS!! my opionion idc if you don't like it. if you like him that's fine. it's the same way i lost all respect for Jayz for going at Nas, or any of the little respect for ja rule for going at Em, 50, etc. (i don't even like 50)
cannibus already had that shit wrote... that's his line dedicated to LL lol Pun i think the same but who cares he's fucking nasty...Mos Def DMX and the dude with the dreds were "REALLY" freestyling
@GlockAFellaRecords oh my god... you know Pun's verse was a song as well? Have you never heard of an artist free styling, then making a song? FYI most of them were probably written, especially Pun's. A freestyle can be written it's still a freestyle, just not off the dome.
