And the dumblind

Definitely not a freestyle...... Just another mf using a written verse & Cappin!! It's disrespectful to Juice, J.Cole & all the the MCs left

@@ItsKing_Rabbit52 agree definitely. idk where they get the arrogance to put "freestyle" on stuff like this. since when is freestyle just stuff that you didn't put out?

@@nitnesto9195 yalll sound like player haters must be from NY

​​​@@ItsKing_Rabbit52Youve made it obvious how little you know. A freestyle is spitting bars over a beat for the first time, off the top is something else. Do you know how difficult it is to spit 300 bars nonstop without a break over a beat for the first time and not fall off once? That's a freestyle.

This is not a freestyle

Hahaha that comment fire bruh

​@true_plays_games right, it's a free verse tho.. and some lines might have been in the moment.. Just enjoy that brain gravy baby!!

All day!

​@@true_plays_games was there a hook?? No one said it was off the top... y'all need to breathe and relax over the use of terms

I'd say Locksmith is probably in Sways top 3, Sways really put him on more than anyone🤷‍♂️. Lock is one of dudes that'll never have the numbers...but definitely a top tier MC for the real heads!

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/jKqcfmpnkaWfoqM.htmlsi=ubiQ_4pkRpvKoUm2 Ehh, id say he was more fascinated by the white boys going in and out while actually coming off the top. Not up here just spitting writtens. Black thought was much more prolific with the word play and thought provoking social analysis. This is good, don't get it twisted, but I'd rather hear Tsu Surf or Arsonal spit where you can actually hear the emotion and hunger in their voice. I think Mysonne's latest freestyle was more quote "conscientious".

@@lyricismlover8345 I get what you're saying. But lock is consistently prolific.

I would say maybe when Token was on.. those were incredible

Agreed but Token is on the same level too!

Word

dude..

My reaction exactly!

Big facts

funk flex could learn a thing or two from sway....dude doesn't stfu 😂

I see what you’re trying to say there, lmao. No hitting the table or going on Snapchat and shit

That's coz sway is THE BEST

You literally just answered your own question in the next sentence.. hahha And Locksmiths been killing it for 20 years 🔥🔥

Too positive

They not try inspire men the trying motivate to bring the hate.

He’s been in the game for at least 20 years because I use to go to his shows in the Bay Area. I guess he never blew up.

thats da real shit

WOOOH

The God spell is the truth 😮!

Crazyyy

That one was.. 😮‍💨. 💯 2024 we sayin what needs to be said this year 🗣️

Great line. This is edutainment.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/b4Gbln-PsZl9zqM.html

My brother 😂

that was a good one

You clearly have bumped your head.

Hahahahaha 😂

Yeeeeeeeee!

It’s crazy how I was going to clubs when I was 18 just to watch him and his partner perform. Dam that was 20 years ago.

I was just saying the same thing brah🤦🏾💯💯

Didn't have to recatch the beat once. No filler. The only freestyle I've had I rewind Several times just hear a line a couple times to figure out how deep the metaphor is. Crazy

Because he's well rehearsed

It's because he memorized it dude because he was coming on Sway in the Morning

​Id give you a month to memorize this and you wouldn't be able to do this live on the radio​@@braddiem4585

BIG FACTS 🔥🔥🔥

Off course

Real rappers cannot get air time only guys that wear female clothing get play

that whole freestyle and thats your take away? ironic

Whoever says conscious rap is corny is room temp IQ anyways, so fuck em. They don’t have the ability for their mind to be changed.

hip hop isn't dead, it just lives underground

💯 agree with ​@@maxfieldnelson

Or.. Lupe Fiasco, "Murial" (visual lyric breakdown) ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mXajraKkcGqpxX0.htmlsi=l7rT0npjhc4duJvU

Sir YES sir. I agree …100!

Truth. One of the best ever.

🔥🔥

My Goodnesssss!!!

Let’s play “rapping deconstructed”.. “Framed”= in a box [square] “Jada broke his will”= Fresh Prince humiliated himself front of world cuz Jada “broke his will”= broke non disclosure agreement Jadakiss= member of “The Lox” “Change the lox”= locks of hair (Jada’s alopecia) “When women stray”= Jada bashing August Alsina “Nothing you can say to try to D-Block”= Hancock propensity to allow wife to cheat “D-Block”= Jadakiss member of D-Block “Just cut her off, keep moving and weigh it later” - divorce her and move on “Keep it moving and weigh it later”- copping a sack expeditiously and weighing later”

@@ericgomez9216 Nice. Here's how I break it down. Triple entendre first interpretation: It's about the entanglement The LOX went through with Puff and Bad Boy and how he had them framed in a box wearing shiny suits and dancing. Jadakiss and the rest of the group wanted out of their ironclad contract (which Puff wasn't willing to do so easily) so they could sign with Ruff Ryders and eventually changed the name that Puff gave them (he shortened their original name from The Warlox to The LOX) to D-Block. If Puff had kept it player, cut them off and kept movin, he would've never invited such bad publicity and constant ridicule from them for jerking them off and not paying them or all the other artists on his label. See 🤣 🤣 skit "Jay Jerkin." Second interpretation: How Jada's entanglement with Alsina broke Will Smith's will. Even though he tried every which way to get her to not stray, there was nothing he could do to block her from getting that D. He should've cut her off from that instant he caught her and weigh his options with his lawyer, saved face and kept it player. His life would've been a lot better. He would've never been caught up at the Oscars like he did. Third interpretation: Was just a simple play on his own name Locksmith, mixed in with the entanglements. 😉 Pretty clever wordplay. 💯

This is a Master Class

Wordplay for sure One bar alone would need to have three meanings

That was 🔥 asf

I shook my head when I heard that one, had to relisten that 5 times

Hell yeah

💯

Career** 😅

Real shit!!!

Classic ukposts.info/have/v-deo/eZairaafbZyrqqs.htmlsi=wM8xeUSU81auB4fm

Then so will Coast Contra! 🔥 trust 🤜

The majority of population don't listen to music in depth.. They hear music with a catchy beat, some audio effects and surface level words and hop on it like the hottest thing out. They don't want real rap with messages. They want twerkin and guns.

ZERO wasters words. Agreed

Tasty flow? Ayooo ⏸️ U out of pocket for this 1

AYO PAUSE

Ayoooooo, Pause 😂 I agreed up until “tasty flow”. You got crazier wording than buddy…

​@@Lewopenot😂

i wouldn’t say the last but he’s one of the best

King iso is keeping lryical rap alive

K-Dino is too

@@superaquatic2853 K-Rino?

Unfortunately can't be the best when your first up lol

Doesn't make sense

​@AhmedMohamed-hh9iv Niggas who don't believe the truth tend to believe all the lies they are fed is what he is saying. People who say "conspiracy theories" aren't real and they don't believe it are the same ones who believe all the lies the government tells them. They listen to people who don't care about them but listen to their own "Brother" and call him crazy.

You believing that, proves the point

This one stood out to me as well💯

It’s fax, look at the demographic of people who took the Jabs based on nothing but fear. Huge trend in who they vote for as well. Every month it becomes twice as clear too.

Damn

Finally someone speaking some real real like 2Pac. People forget how smart and educated rappers could be....

@@raiolyth Facts.

Deep down what you hate you become

I discovered him when he battled on grind time and killed dizaster been a fan since. Wish he'd come back to battling at least one more time lol

@@HigherKaijuyeah, and he ain’t going out like Canibus.

Here's the prime example. Why is it they are constantly running a negative campaign usually filled with innuendos, rumors, negative stereotypes and conspiracies against everyone of the super rich and successful entertainers of ours that's making moves. If you don't believe me, look up any of the powerful ones. They have a video for every one of them, usually backed up by some washed up celebrity or other. See if they have any for theirs.The 🦀 in the 🪣 mentality is strong with us and we unwittingly play into their hand.

what picture did you see lool

I still remember that car freestyle when he was nobody man .. hes so dope

Same bro do you remember the final Locksmith had with Reign Man now known as Rj Payne I think Locksmith got done dirty he won that in a lot of people's opinion most of the judged were from the East Coast yes a couple of the rounds were close but Reign Man won of course he's from Philly what more can I say someone from the West Coast isn't going to win in that situation

​@@jordanolafson80 and then Diz brought it up in his battle with Lock before getting chopped in half

Truth. I've been rewinding lines 3 and 4 times just to fully grasp how clever the metaphors are. Stupid bars, im so dead. This is the first time I've even heard of this dude. What an introduction!

It’s called hip hop - it died years ago and was really nice to listen to

naaa it still there. Listen to the real onez Black thought just dropped a whole album in a record amount of time with content like this@@kmiiican6914

Exactly 💯

That fact that it's more folks similar who can actually spit on dope beats also should have puzzled on why they can't get spins when they literally have better music than most artists on mainstream

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

He also not about blowing industry executives or hoopin’ naked at puff’s guys-only slumber parties either…if I saw hov, diddy, or the flesh prince anywhere? My eyes would immediately identify the closest exits

@@timphalen9182For real. These guys getting exposed for who they really are. It amazes me how much shit they’ve done and what scary is that I am sure that’s just the top of the iceberg.

He's not mainstream because most people don't like these lame "spiritual lyrical miracle" type of flow. This is the type of music dudes with headphones and a backpack listen to on the subway while thinking they're on some mentally higher level than the people around them.

Yeeee!!!

Yes sir !

I'm glad u mentioned coast

So funny because as this ended I said he just gave black thoughts freestyle a run for it's money 🔥🔥

I’ve been saying the same in the past year. Hip hop is a two-horse race between Locksmith and Black Thought.

Super fuggin facts 🫡🫡🫡🫡

He ain’t black thought level

@@markgravell4557I said the same thing.

Facts💯

I aint never met a black dude named dylan 😂😂😅😅

Thats a slight twist on a long standing quote from alexander hamilton fam. Not hating just letting you know, it’s not that crazy lol

@@Barren-MIND Never said it was crazy or complex. I quoted the bar because I liked it. Simple

@@ToniSmith-wj9uf you’re right, that’s totally fair. When I heard it though, it brought me back to third grade and I cringed a bit lol

@Barren-MIND Lol, I feel you on that. This is definitely an elementary bar,especially when coming from Locksmith. I also think that's his drawback. His bars are so dense that most can't digest them.

@@ToniSmith-wj9uf I was a massive locksmith fan back during grind time, loved that he transitioned into music so seamlessly not too long after his debut, I say that to inform onlookers that I am familiar with this mans pen and am proud of his success. However as an honest and critical songwriter myself, what bothers me a lot about his writing is how crammed it is in some parts and how far some syllables and words are spaced out. Structurally almost sound, but the pseudo intellectually driven lines kind of ruin it for me in some instances. I think what music needs right now is something more intimate and heartfelt, not something thought provoking, unless of course it’s introspective or can be applied to the listener. His delivery is always on point though, dude has always rapped with conviction and has had semi unique cadences to pair it with.

Wow, thank you!
