First vid: I think all of Joe and Percee's **** was memorized. Em's hard to tell but dope find on that sh!t cause he probly is just going off. He really is just on a different lyrical level than everybody else whether he's freeing or not.
Second vid: I was gonna post this actually, old school illness at it's finest. I think Jay and DMX are both straight freeing with a memorized punchline or 2. "Pinstripes across your windpipe," that's gotta be thought out in some way, shape or form beforehand. Still though... too ill and too raw, that's a REAL battle.
third vid: Both are memorized but truly thank you for this. I could listen to Big spit for hours, especially some ish like this I never heard before. You hear stuff like this and just think damn son... There's no words for what he could've done for hip hop if he was still here with us. R.I.P.
fourth: Homeboy introducing him is freeing but Monch isn't. DAMN did he kill it though... Simon Says is my ish I dunno why he never got the chance to blow up. It's a shame how some of the illest rappers to ever spit (Monch, Mos Def, MF Doom) aren't the superstars that trash like Gucci Mane and Ross are.
fifth: Yeah I seen this ish before too, dope as hell but neither are freeing, they both wrote them verses in Hawaii when they were recording for MBDTF. P does a dope job pretending he just laughing when he f*cks up and he's got that crazy look in his eye but yeah he's got all that memorized. He's really making some comeback from the Clipse days though, talk about resurrecting a career. He absolutely murders his sh!t here. To be honest though, watch how Kanye goes hard into it, with the knowledge that this verse exists before he spits. If you've listened to MBDTF as much as I have (album of the fking decade) you can almost rap it yourself and know what it feels like to go that hard on something you wrote and just know so well cause you got it memorized. Then go back and watch P and you can tell he's doing the same thing... I still love this ish though, dope as hell.
Great video's man... Oh and that Cudi sh!t? It's kinda wack cause he just mumblin not saying a damn thing but he continues to FLOW on the beat trying to go one hundred percent off the dome without stopping. That's a true freestyle, just go straight from what pops off the top and keep that sh!t rocking, follow blocks, and never stop. He does a dope job of not breaking flow, it's like he skipping rocks on the beat.
