XLR8R TV Ep. 129: Freestyle 101 with Doseone and Jel

We sit in as Anticon's Doseone teaches his weekly freestyle class with some help from his bandmate Jel.

Veteran freestyler Doseone has plenty of wisdom to dole out on cyphers, crutches, "getting open" and the world beyond Lil Wayne, but as we observed, the schooling is hardly one way. Dose, Jel and fellow instructor Kev seem to be getting just as much from this circle of budding Oakland MCs (aged 12-18) as they're giving out. Be sure to watch out for 13-year-old Tyrone—he spits fire!

Imagine dose one was teaching you to freestyle... I had a dream like that once. "MCs are confused like they just became parents" thats awesome as well

@gotjuice9

that "spread her fucking legs..I'm spreading fucking aids" line is pretty much directly lifted from OFWG... I forget which song... but I think it's Tyler....

The kid is mad young so he probably did it unintentionally...but yeah... I like how dude called him out on it.

Man dose seems like such a real dude, what an awesome opportunity these guys were given to learn from a legend

[MrShayandmike]

How can someone dislike this? Even if you don't like his music, he's taking time to teach others. Most rappers would never do that.
