I've been this way since he went on Funk Master Flex and started "freestyling" and was reading lyrics from his Blackberry on the video of it.

I can't tell how many times I've seen artists do a "freestyle" only to read off their phone.

Wiz did it with his ATL freestyle

Wiz doesn't even compute as a hip hop artist in my book

Definitely not since he started dissing ppl who smokes blunts. His best raps he talks ab swishers.

Hell yeah man. He used to go so hard. Smh. Now he thinks he's the second coming of Jimi Hendrix or some shit.

[–]diarrheainatortilla 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

He went hard in Kush and Orange Juice. Then everything changed.

Yeah but he still talked shit ab ppl smoking blunts then. Lost a lot of respect when he did that. Cabin fever was alright but rolling papers made me sick.

Man i remember i say him for his Waken Bake Tour. Right when he dropped his album with Black and Yellow. Yellawolf opened for him.

Show was only 20$ and Wiz put on a good show.

you do realize that a freestyle doesn't, necessarily, exclusively mean rhyming completely off the top, right?

Anyone who keeps up with rap/hip hop (no, I'm not being a "hip hop head") knows this.

Hell, the original people who came up with the term "freestyle" say as such

So, don't belittle artists by saying "freestyle" (that is, putting the term in quotes to imply "it's not really a freestyle")

Well in the video he does say he has like 16 bars he wrote then he went into a freestyle..

[–]Bi-winning3 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

A lot of times when they "freestyle" they're told to write a rap and bring it in. those are the ones that seem really well put together. like on sway in the morning he has some people do that.

Nobody freestyles off the top anymore. The term has basically taken a new meaning. Lupe Fiasco and Ludacris are the only two I've seen freestyle off the top in a long long time, besides battlers and Big Tig.

[–]BoilerMaker11 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Freestyle can mean two things:

Rhyming off the top. Or just spittin bars with no real structure or "point" to the verse.

I hate that people put quotes around "freestyle" to undermine what performers are doing, because they think they rule language, and if you ain't rapping like Eminem at Scribble Jam, then it's not a "real" freestyle.

Fuck outta here.

For the most part, you're right. And those facts are sad as fuck.

Text me a verse Quentin! Nah but tons of rappers read off a phone. Also tons of rappers have always tried to spit writtens like it's off top so a good

Drake has said that he will spend up to 3-4 days on just a verse, he's never claimed to be a "traditonal freestyler", not to mention freestyling isn't going off the dome it's a rap that is free of style.

Sometimes they just can't be be bothered to throw a freestlye either, Kendrick, a lyricist of the year, when was meant to be free styling on Big Boys neigbourhood threw a couple of verses from TPAB in there - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui0SmXGGm5M, for all we know the other verses are just from unreleased songs, doesn't mean I don't think Kendrick is a ridiculously good lyricist, Ive seen people from Kanye to Logic do this.

"Lost some of my hottest verses down in Cabo, So if you find a Blackberry with the side scroll, Sell that mothafucka to any rapper that I know, Cause they need it much more than I ever will, I got new shit, I'm gettin' better still" - From So Far Gone released early 2009 so probably wrote in 2008 he's been admitting he writes his verses down in advance.

I hate to be that guy but can some one fill me in on what's going on with Drake?

[–]Dinosaur_Monkey 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just calling out Drake bc he spit a freestyle that he wrote on his phone before coming in. This whole thread is people arguing what freestyle means anymore. Some think it's off the top, and some think a freestyle can be pre written but can still be flowed well onto a beat a rapper was just given.

Oh and that Drake doesn't necessarily write his own stuff (even though he credits those who help)

[–]closesandfar 15ポイント16ポイント  (8子コメント)

If it's a hot verse it's a hot verse. I'm not too concerned with who wrote it as long as Drake can deliver it.

[–]SECgamedayDrunk[S] 13ポイント14ポイント  (6子コメント)

yeah but if you claim that you're a skilled lyricists you should be able to write your own music. writing your own music is essential to getting creditability in hip hop...unless you can produce like a motherfucker. What If I eloquently recited some Shakespeare monologue and passed it off as my own?

[–]bananasantos 12ポイント13ポイント  (3子コメント)

He does write his own music, and he gets help. Like everyone else.

[–]Nfc24 -5ポイント-4ポイント  (2子コメント)

I guess I wouldn't mind him getting help if he credits his "assistants", instead of just saying "this is mine, I made this myself, I'm worth your time, attention, and money because I can write things like this myself"

milisecond google search:

Fellow writers listed right along with him. Even Q. Miller, the supposed ghostwriter, is listed.

Oh come the fuck on. every popular rapper has been rumored to be having their shit written for them

It's disappointing, and I just bought nwts and iyrtitl last week. He can't really claim best mc, even if he writes all his shit from now on. It's like listening to a pop track with rap influences if he's really using reference tracks
