The Art of Rap Freestyle

I started listening to this freestyle recently and I think it's fucking sick. Especially this part, the flow is mmm

"At the Ozzfest with Nas bumpin' Das EFX in a wrecked up Datsun and dropped two extra strength Watson Vicodin out my pocket"

Shit is sick.

What do you think?

Well I love the fact he's mentioning hip-hop themes more often (other rappers, The Source etc.), just feels more authentic and like he's saying his piece on things relevant to the culture, rather than shoving shit up asses which realistically is fairly useless, despite me loving Relapse to death.

And I love the fact he shows no signs of laying off the gas in terms of pushing the rhyme schemes and flows to new heights, he's REALLY focused on words and rhymes again, which is the main thing for me. Which is also why I'm so 'anti-inrospection', as when he gets into that state of just documenting his life, he writes himself into a corner and lyricism takes a back seat to the drama.

There was a point (Encore) where he stopped caring about the rhymes and his lyrics so much because it became all about settling scores and telling us something about his life... which to me is boring. First and foremost, he's a lyricist, who's capable of re-defining the boundaries every time he puts pen to paper, so it's just a fucking waste if he isn't constantly trying to do that, but rather just recounting an experience or telling us why he's had a bad day, at the expense of what he does best.

"Drunk as fuck
One sock pulling my boxers up with boxing gloves
But I keep dropping my fucking binoculars
Got two fucking hydroxycuts and four oxy's stuck in my esophagus
These three lesbian little stocky sluts
Thought I swallowed two hockey pucks
Started screamin' "Serves you right you cocky fuck!
That's what you get for mockin' us
Ain't as cool as you thought you was."
Bitch all I did when I walked up was have my dick in a sock
And it's a sock puppet so no strings attached you can all suck it
(Chick-uh) get it? Ah fuck it
Shits about to get hairy as motherfucking Chewbacca's nuts
Cocksuckers"

That part sounds so MMLP-ish

You're in a good mood today, great patch of coke?

No BUT, I am going to get higher than Michael Jordan's self-esteem after he won his 6th, this coming Tuesday. On some mighty fine snow, it's gonna be white and fluffy

I sure as hell can't wait, it's planned and is gonna be the last 'that' with my best friend, before I get the hell out of this country to a better life. Bring on Tuesday!

Em giving love to legends people don't even know today shows how big a hip-hop fan he is, I go really pumped up when I first heard this shit!
This was really needy for Em actually 'cuz he dissed Eric Sermon in ''8 Mile'' when he battled those 3 cats at the end.

[Eedee]

Loved this freestyle. Even without a beat it flowed extremely well and the rhyme schemes were pretty sick.

I can't wait to see what he does on his new album.

[Willy]

It was pretty tight.. disliked the part about pulling his boxers up with boxing gloves and binoculars or whatever.

No he didn't. "You sound like Eric Sermon, the generic version"...he's saying the opponent is generic, not Eric Sermon.

What? He kind of imitates E's voice & implies this dude sounds like Eric Sermon who at times has had generic verses/songs. That's why he says ''Eric Sermon, THE generic version''. Of course it's not like a real diss 'cuz Em's always loved EPMD & their whole clique but this is not a nice thing to say for an OG . Still it's just a movie anyway of course, I'm not even saying E suppose to take offence or whatever.
Em giving mad props to Daz FX this way is definitely the way he have been treating many legends over the years, that's why I said it was NEEDY 'cuz what he said about Eric Sermon was unlikely for Eminem to say.

Definitely a dope verse. I'm hoping the written material on his next album is similar to this. Does anybody know when that was actually recorded?

I reckon it was 2011, simply because of the style.

Mid 2011.

[Mathers]

Hmm....

Word is that he began working on his 8th album around that time....

Let's hope that's the mind set he was in for the writing process of it.

He announced that he started working on it last May.
