Sage Francis freestyle with C.R. Avery on Beatbox

[jdstanley91]

Sage Francis, the original hipster

[zachsdickDOTmpg]

Dude that beatbox sounded ridiculous since Sage never dropped rhymes to some electronica sounding sh-t before. I thought it was dope as f-ck.

[Eyedeaprodigy]

Sage is awesome

[234semaj]

sage killin em!

[pandatime2008]

**enter any random phrase he said to pretend i get it** omg sage kills!

[FallingForThePacific]

@Hamgammy

are you joking me? immortal technique only spittin shit about his gang life? you must not have ever listened to anything but dancin with the devil. the fact that you can blatantly say that immortal technique has no concern for other social issues makes you a complete goof, maybe listen to what hes saying in songs before you try and act like you know everything

[BucKt0]

@FallingForThePacific i think he must've been trolling no one could be that ignorant

oh wait this is planet earth nvm

[themadhurt]

This man can do no wrong.

[4kilometers]

dude is serious about his helmet hair lmao dope beatbox tho

[Muso9419]

some serious skill right there

[jbwasted]

People probably saw these two and thought who the fuck are these maths teachers? 3:01 later they left with the formula to real underground hip hop.

[TheAARON669]

dang he was skinny

[zapps221]

@TheAARON669 Yea, look at him from like 97, he was skinny as fuck.

[koilk]

anybody know the lyrics to this?

[est1994jsm]

This...

is hip hop

[ice9planet]

music is preference. I think Sage, especially in this video, is phat as hell. Dig his flow, his lyrics, delivery. Beast

[chunkyboy90]

Underground rappers would kill mainstream rappers in a freestyle battle

[skateirs16]

what the fuck hahaha shits hard

[hiphopmathematics]

so ii grab the microphone and display my heart

[WhodiKalecgos]

xaul zan will smack that ass crack

[iBomb24]

illogic

[nativebrother]

This guy sounds like an inuit throat singer from Canada, look it up. I'm sure they have it. I wanna look it up now.

[JLTooks]

jeebus, I can't stop watching this. Does Sage do stuff like this any more? Intimate record store, 25 people? Shit, that'd be sweet.

[FallingForThePacific]

i wish sage and immortal technique did a collab

[whatbrains]

@FallingForThePacific  That would be extremely interesting to listen to...

[Hamgammy]

@FallingForThePacific fuck that shit immortal technique fucking phony ass mutherfucker two good songs cant freestyle for shit without saying the n word a hundred times lame ass has to rap only about his gang life and nothing more no concern for other social issues

[censurabass]

@Hamgammy I agree that Tech can't freestyle all that well in comparison (though he and Sage are so different, it's hard to compare atall). And i hate the fact that he feels the need to use the n word so often. But you clearly haven't listened to much of Tech's stuff if you think he doesn't concern himself with social issues. I would argue that the political and social aspects of his lyrics are what he is best known for.

[Matthew808x]

@Hamgammy "rap only about his gang life and nothing more no concern for other social issues". Do u even listen to what he raps about? Lmao

[codylemaster1]

who gives a shit about the video quality. u can see it and hear it just fine

[furyus01]

Good video/bad quality... Next time you rip from the Basement TV DVD you should use a higher quality compression.

[aeonkidd]

@furyus01 1st time watchin a vid on youtube?

[furyus01]

@aeonkidd No, its not.... I just get bummed by laziness that leads to poor quality videos when straight jacking them from DVD's. Its pretty easy! Your first time with a computer?!

[pnyoface]

wow this sucks

[senthious]

SiCK!

[OregonDucks42O]

I saw cr avery at a Sage show in Eugene once, he was beatboxing, ryming, playing harmonica and the keytar all at once, it was epic!

[hiphopshaun]

love the glasses. sage forever.

[StacieWacieee]

He looks better with Hair.

He is sick.

[PedroOmarAlvarado]

THUMBS UP.

[JLTooks]

I'm just gonna say it. His brains make him kinda really hot.

[Interminater]

Bubba Ray Dudley can spit mad rhyme

[beckley13]

i love white freestylers

[therealsagefrancis]

gross

[gottalovethahaters]

[DANROD2007]

freestyle is about style and originality. rhyming is clubs, freestyle is for real music lovers

[bigboyjimbogeorge]

[ThePigeonDetective2]

this is SICK!

my god, sage is the most amazing freestyler i have ever witnessed.

[technician83]

he is amazing, but not sure if it is really off the top. but it is sick, it doesn't have to be off the top to be sick

[knowmoreorg]

haha. Without a doubt this is off the top. I don't think this would be possible any other way.

[Sadclownbad]

freestyle is always off the top, its not wrong to spitt written on the fly. u know what i mean portions are written, and portions are off the top...... thats still freestyle

[esdemigodz7l]

sage is sick. his earlier days were tighter but he brings more feeling to his music nowadays. i just wish i could hear more of xaul zahn. avery's chops are sick.

"hiphop entered my skin and im like what is this"

[bseball112001]

shit is tight he

[anidleofseptember]

if only mainstream was more like underground =[

[technician83]

buddy, no body would appreciate this if it was mainstream, but they would give the money.. you see what i am saying? its a choice, be appreciated or get paid. underground-mainstream

[scientisst]

then what the fuck would make it underground douche

[ebrown]

that beatboxing was kinda annoying

[mrzero21]

[arn123321]

sage is scary smart

[therealbea]

Bow down mothafucka

[normaXjean]

I gotta ditto what onedegrefromhell said. I'm a metal/hardcore kid, but I gotta say that Sage Francis is the absolute shit when it comes to hip hop. Dude fucking rules.

[caxs80]

LAHI

[IrishFem11]

This is amazing...I watch it over and over again...there is no more I can say about it...simply "feel good music" for us beatboxers...

[IMTFIA]

Im with onedegrefromhell on that one.

[hustla4hire]

this is dope right here. youtube puts me on to some good shit. if you like this shit youtube search "wax verses" and click on the first video that comes up. dude is BANANAS

[mermacorn]

Rofl, he's not even that good of a beatboxer, all underground hip hop is these days, is people fighting on youtube over who is a better mc.

[Beatnuk]

What underground are you in? Come on over in my underground, hip hop is alive and well over here.

[mrzero21]

u dont even know wat a emcee is..so go crank ur soulja boy and touch urself u homo

[onedegrefromhell]

Sick....and from a metalhead....thats a really hard compliment for a hip hop artist to achieve....

[gOnads77]

:>)

[marviss]

PunchBowlGeek i think you're quite wrong, cuz there is nothing more adequate to heart than an other heart... this is ture rhyme and philosophy, its just hard to understand the rhymes, cuz you need to look very very deep into them. And its amazing..... :)

[PunchBowlGeek]

what..?

[MoneyBank]

That was fucking dope, C.R is fucking Crazy, and Sage is fucking sick with this rhymes.

[hobotronics]

Iwas there, at jam records in wallingford baby. Sad it closed down, that was the spot to get underground

[primalhate]

thats a mad beat!

[smklodon]

oh oh oh..how fools envy!

[BIGMOBYDEE]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaayyyyyyyyyy

[dankpurple]

shut da fuck up bitch. this is a sick freestyle. ur just a music handicap

[mFoOuOtTh]

[NightMareLP]

Emo wut shut the fuck up lol

[dankpurple]

yeaa that was tight

[6wings]

...amazing!

[paulbnb]

Sage is so fucking cool man look at him, glasses and a button up shirt.

Tells you that hip-hop has nothing to do with image, its the soul and flow.

[mcches33]

Is this is off the documentary called the art of rhyme or where you there live?

[Numark3]

this is off the dvd Basement TV and you van buy it at basementhiphop{dot}com

It is a pretty good buy if you really like good hiphop. Some sage francis, slug, eyedea, eligh, mf doom, and mr lif

[mcches33]

That's right. I've seen that documentary. I knew I had seen this somewhere before. I remember there was a lot of Eli on the doc. Thanks for the reply.

[Xeon636]

Sage Francis rocks so hard.  He is a genius, musically, lyrically, and politically. His spoken words are amazing.

[TheTestTubeMind]

The sad thing is to many people buy into th imagae of hip hop and not the form the art the skill the deliverance and hart that it take. Spiten rymes is a waiste of time if it don't make since and it won't if its not intnese this guy has hart man. he feels what he say's thats why they call it skill.

[PunchBowlGeek]

i agree with you but you may find it hard to make "since". and a hart doesn't seem like an adequate replacement for a heart.

[dCOMPOZED62]

"hip-Hop has entered my skin and I'm like what is this?

[julianfairbanks]

the opening line was cold!

[warmachine818]

i just seen sage live in hollywood last night, it was an ill show

[joebuckjrr]

[fahza1]

[anon47]

^^ it says 2/18/2003 (if i remember correctly) at the start of the vid.

Id heard a lot about sage francis so i thought id give him a listen...through the mixed reviews and opinions, i can definitely say that ive decided for myself sage francis sucks...hard...and that beatbox isnt that great, in fact...he fucks up once or twice...id know, i beatbox myself.

[Huntrero]

what year approximately was this it looks really old but sage looks like h does now, could any tell me when this was recorded approx.

[billgermany2000]

sage is hotty

[oOcapNStemOo]

[greenencyclopedia815]

[dookerbaby]

c.r. avery is awesome!!! He is from my neihbourhood of east vancouver vancouver. I have seem him inumerable times. He is the real deal. 100% talent and poor as hell and unknown to most of the world.

[raleighsk8]

I think he made an appearance on Jolie Holland's new album...He is most definitely a talented individual who is ahead of his time.

[ReadDoug]

oh my god with a capital G.

[TheMightyCulp]

I love that didgeridoo beatbox. CR Avery just so happens to be great.

[file83]

That was so fucking cool. *jaw drops*

[SubRokrJay]

i love the fact that sage is an obscure human being

[skyline128]
