I never heard of Tron. He is been a little overhyped. Going in he was the only one I had high exceptions for. He did very well but (this is a compliment) I felt he has much more in his gas tank and didn’t give a 100 percent with this particular performance. His look, talent and subject matter is there IMO!!!
I think the funniest thing about these videos is just how Amiri’s humor is so subtle at times but still hilarious. The part where he talked about Saucy Santana being himself during his freestyle and then briefly showed Doechii got me good asf 😭
Amiri did not disappoint. This video was hilarious and the impersonations were on point. I disagree with some of the lower rankings but I totally agree with the top 3.
24:05 Amiri when you explained why you put kali at 5 because you didn’t want a bunch of negative comments, I literally yelled at the tv, “man fuck what people think speak ya mind my nigga” and then when you said “man fuck that” I started dying 😂😂😂💯💯💯
My list 1. Cochise (this is his lane, whoever gave him advice on how to make music previously needs to be fired, this freestyle is where his creative direction needs to go from now on) 2. Babytron (I never heard of him, was overhyped, the talent, look, skill are all there. He did very good, I feel he had much more in the tank and I’m excited to hear when he goes off. I will check out his catalog). 3. Kaycyyy (loved him on Kanye’s “Keep my spirit alive”. I love his originality. He is a good rapper but his voice is amazing. Instead of trying to be the next Kendrick Lamar, he should try to be the next Keith Sweat or Teddy Riley) 4. Kentheman (impressed, let’s be in the game for a little longer before we throw out “top 10” lines, that line alone kept you out of my top 3) 5. Saucy Santana (not my cup of tea, I have never seen a male rapper, dress and act like a female and put it in songs. Even if it’s not my cup of tea, it’s creative new and fresh and Saucy is the first of a kind. I see the next big music star in 2023 and 2024 right here) 6. Big 30 (he is not my cup of tea but I was entertained, unlike Saucy Santana, there were others like Pooh Shesity who have rapped like this, I got to dock him points for originality) 7. Kali (she is very beautiful and has great flows. It is hard to pay attention to what you are saying when I can see 3/4 of your boobs in that dress. She can wear what she wants but I can’t take you saying “you are not a side piece” seriously when you wear outfits like that. With that said, I see her being a mainstream star like Saucy Santana. If she would have had SoFaygo messages with her creativity and flow, the performance would have been much better) 8. Doechii (good flow and talent, but sounds too much like 2009 Nicki Minaj, if her voice and tone were different, much much higher on my list) 9. SoFaygo (worst flow of the group but his words and messages were positive and good but needs a little more creativity. If SoFayo has Kali’s flow, the performance would have been much better) 10. Big Scar (it was wise he didn’t go on long. No a bad performance at all. For rappers who live and talk the street life, be cautious what you put out. If dude gets arrested for a crime the courts could use messages in past music to lock him up. I don’t agree with what the system does at all but be mindful of what is put out) 11. Nardo Wick (Decent music, freestyle fell flat IMO) 12. Baby face Ray (not amongst the worst ever but I felt he almost fell asleep in the middle of his verse, this verse was boring) More than half of these artists I have never heard before. I’m going by what I see mostly in this one performance.
If Cochise rapped like that he’d have a fraction of his success. He makes lit turn up music that will garner a ton of streams….him showing that he actually can rap just makes me understand that the sound he has now is extremely calculated.
@@Nocappucino97 IMO you’re not wrong. The style he typically has may not be original but it’s popular and trendy and if it makes him more money and gives him more recognition and views than showing his actual skill, then he should keep doing what he is going until it goes out of style.
A lot of people sleeping on the “2022 been great, got some cheese piling” bar🤦🏽♂️ great like a cheese grater and the cheese piles when you use a cheese grater 🔥
You know, one severely under appreciated thing I love about this whole video that I feel like I'll be the only person to appreciate it is that I love how you had Iggy Azalea's Treasure Island instrumental playing in the background as well as mentioning that song when talking about Doechii's flow. Despite what ppl say about her, I love that song a lot. That being said, dope video. ✌🏿
I appreciate the confidence that Faygo had to come up with lyrics on the spot, but his freestyle featured pretty much every issue with going that route, and really makes you understand the time and effort that goes into making the most clever lyrics. Also, crediting artists for being woman in general is kind of unfair and can make it harder for the artist to improve.
And I’m tired of this stigma that if you criticize or critique the females on XXL it’s immediately “But if a man....” or “Y’all only hating cause she’s a female”.
No lie I’m happy how this ranking turned out. When you broke down baby trons bars, I went from this was alright to this is actually fire and I did catch the Helen Keller bar. I am a Cochise fan too and he hands down had the best for me. Good list Brodie
I’m a agree with u on Sofaygo, I fuck with his music heavy but his freestyle wasn’t anything special which is why I don’t understand why people have him so high
the freestyle is hot ass but props to him for having the courage to go off the dome. shows he actually wants to be considered a legend genuinely. not just to sound cool
I liked Doechii's freestyle. Maybe it's just the multiple flow and voice tone changes, but I thought it was pretty nice. I like how different it is from everybody elses this year.
@@AmiriHipHop Yeah, true. But I still think there are enough good things about her freestyle to make me like it. Her rhyming was solid and I liked how she did a higher pitch on some of the rhymes. It's enough to keep me captivated and that's what I find most important.
@@familyroadtriparchive fr My issue with doechii isn’t that it was trash, even though the voice was a annoying asl, to me the issue is she is being everyone BUT doechii
this is probably the most mid group of freestyles a freshman class has ever offered. for the most part i agree with your ranking but i’ll offer mine completely unprovoked bc i feel like it. this is all based on how much i liked it, not technicality 1.) cochise (anime bars aren’t bad) 2.) kaycyy (this nigga cheated but i liked it) 3.) big30 (didn’t expect to like this verse as much as i did) 4.) santana (it’s tunnel vision) 5.) babytron (highly overrated, boring delivery, but still fun) mid tier 6.) kenthemann 7.) kali (both of these girls are interchangeable) 8.) doechii (y’all did wayyy too much on her verse. at least she sounded like she wanted to do her verse compared to everyone else below her) wack tier 9.) babyface ray (hiccup) 10.) big scarr (where tf is the rest of the verse) 11.) nardo (boooooorrriiiiing) 12.) sofaygo (…………….should’ve wrote a verse)
Idk to me faygo sounded like he wanted to do her verse more than Doechii, doechii sounded like she was trying to sound different more than do her verse imo
I definitely agree with Cochise being up, though I was personally a fan of Doechii and KayCyy. At this point to me, it feels kinda tired to criticize rappers for sounding like other rappers cause like... So many rappers out there, including the ones in this class sound derivative to an extent. I don't mind artists doing similar styles. I liked Doechiis lyrics and appreciated that she had a really fun energy to her. I'm personally kinda tired of rappers sounding like they're too cool to try.
@@benro6564 I'm pretty openly a hip hop head, dood. Plus I like keeping up with the XXL freshman. I actually end up watching Amiris rankings every year.
Ain’t nooo way Amiri had a Easter egg in the middle of the video putting Kali at 12 lmaooo. Also Amiri this is one of the best/Funniest videos you’ve ever made hope this blows up.
This video autoplayed and I heard the voice and instantly remembered ur voice. I haven't watched a video of urs in at least a year. Been watching ya shit since 2018/19. Big supporter in ya comments glad u still pumping out quality content. Vid was cool
When I watched BabyFace Rays freestyle and he kept stumbling/pausing all I could think was “Damn this nigga high asl” but I keep forgetting that’s what got him on. That lazy flow and being off drank. He could’ve pulled that freestyle that went viral in the city from around 2017/2018 probably still would’ve fucked up. Good list bro keep up the 🔥 content.
If you liked Cochise’s freestyle, listen to his older songs like “My Year”, “Let Me Know”, “Letsgetit” and “Stars” to name a few. He can spit, it’s just that baby voice making the real money so I’m guessing he switched to that lol
@@DariusNavi na Ik that but I mean he’s signed so the label could be pushing him to follow a formula and he even said he follows a formula lol. That stems from money
i cant be the only one that realized that doechii copied doja cat when she said "munching biting teething" in the exact same manner doja did in rules when she said "millions thousands billions"
And going off what he said in the intro: Lil Dicky’s solo freestyle from 2016 is the ending verse of his song “Bruh…”. So yeah, people really need to stop getting so butt hurt about it lol
I'm not mad at this list at all, good job! but for cochise I know you said you don't mess with his music but if had to choose what's your favorite song from him?
I don't know if this is reaching but I heard someone say the "2022 been great got some cheese pilin'" can also mean that like grating some cheese and it piling on top of each other.
Ima be honest to me. Big30 freestyle showed me how good pooh shiesty freestyle would have been if it had a little more energy. I really liked Big30 freestyle. That’s just me

I feel like Tron could have came WAYYYY harder but the fact that he coulda came way harder but still had top 3 freestyles speaks volumes about my guy
Pause but fax

@@SinaSoh the fans are jus happy he's getting recognition because before 2022 he was mad underrated
This man is dead wrong when he said “Santana wasn’t tryna come off as someone he isn’t.” And quickly flashed a picture of Doechii lmfao 😂😂😂😂
I think the funniest thing about these videos is just how Amiri’s humor is so subtle at times but still hilarious. The part where he talked about Saucy Santana being himself during his freestyle and then briefly showed Doechii got me good asf 😭

Lmao this nigga actually funny music opinions aside
Cdtv is funny as well
Croc cdtv Shawn cee and bobbalam make me laugh
@@neonsamurai4604bobbolam a cart dick rider 😂
4:45 You need to make a FULL VIDEO on Doechii's freestyle using that voice!
My list
1. Cochise (this is his lane, whoever gave him advice on how to make music previously needs to be fired, this freestyle is where his creative direction needs to go from now on)
2. Babytron (I never heard of him, was overhyped, the talent, look, skill are all there. He did very good, I feel he had much more in the tank and I’m excited to hear when he goes off. I will check out his catalog).

Bruh that doechii impression was hilarious
“I’m not Zesty”🤣💀
Dawg this man Amiri😂. And the Santana impression was cold too, let me put my hater blockers on😎
😂
I'm still proud of kaycyy 😂 the choir was unexpected af
A lot of people sleeping on the “2022 been great, got some cheese piling” bar🤦🏽♂️ great like a cheese grater and the cheese piles when you use a cheese grater 🔥
That's what I'm sayin I've only heard one person catch that.
This made my day especially you mocking doechii 😂😂 and the lil yachty’s mama part 💀💀
You know, one severely under appreciated thing I love about this whole video that I feel like I'll be the only person to appreciate it is that I love how you had Iggy Azalea's Treasure Island instrumental playing in the background as well as mentioning that song when talking about Doechii's flow.

the freestyle is hot ass but props to him for having the courage to go off the dome. shows he actually wants to be considered a legend genuinely. not just to sound cool
That “punched everything I’m wearing I’m freestyling” is also a reference to how rappers punch in bars when recording audio and freestyling each bar
Yup he missed that double entendre

I think Babyface Ray was censoring himself.
Ngl this is the worse ranking I've seen so far 😂 stick to listening to summer walker and cardi b trash ass
i’m a huge faygo fan but i still respect your list og, keep making these heater vids imma b watchin 🔥
Also with that freestyle bar, the punch in part is also what niggas do when they freestyle a song
"I DONT HATE BLACK WOMEN" and "IM NOT ZESTY" 😭
Babyface’s lean burps had me crying😭
Another W List Wmiri
Who here from the livestream still yesssssirrrr

That lil yatchy mom reaction took me out!😂😂
that sound effect 2:41 😭😭😭
Fr
AYE I'm glad I was wrong about your Cochise placement I thought you'd shit on him no lie!
another meaning of babytron’s “punch/freestyling” bar is when he raps he “punches in” his bars
AMIRI IS GOING IN
I missed that intro song
Lmao at the whole entire Kali bit, I’m weak 😂💀 the disrespect lmao but the points were valid so I’ll accept
Say what you want but Saucy had the best one out of all of em. Damn sure took me by surprise.
Baby face ray was sleeping and Waking up mid freestyle🐐😪
no cap
That Lil Yachty joke was comedy
Amiri lowkey fanboyin babytron 😂
12:01 😂😭
Yearly tradition right here
LMAO had me in the first half with Kali's bit
The last place I expected to find u was in a primms hood cinema video 😭😭😭
i cant be the only one that realized that doechii copied doja cat when she said "munching biting teething" in the exact same manner doja did in rules when she said "millions thousands billions"
Won’t load, youtube seems to think it’s still the stream (works now)
My dog amiri!!!!!! Wit another banger!!!!! The list is too accurate want nothing to special this year just mid foreal 💯
I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought Nardo fumbled
Unky on the block catching bricks like he Elton Brand
Letssss gooooo Cochise
And going off what he said in the intro:
Lil Dicky’s solo freestyle from 2016 is the ending verse of his song “Bruh…”. So yeah, people really need to stop getting so butt hurt about it lol
POLE IN HIS BACK, NOW HE LOOKIN LIKE NEJI 😭
lmaoooo the sofaygo impression 😂
Amiri sneaking in a pic of Doechi when talking about santana not tryna be someone he isn't 😂😂
I'm not mad at this list at all, good job! but for cochise I know you said you don't mess with his music but if had to choose what's your favorite song from him?
24:05 had me dead 🤣
Listen to elbow room and plasma by Cochise those are fire and understandable.
I just found u r channel and subbed man. U rapping doechii’s freestyle sold me already
Ay bruh you funny as
Amiri really gotta drop a banger video while I’m at work, welp guess I’m getting fired for job abandonment
what we do by freeway will always go crazyyy (so i move keys u can call me the piano mane)
18:20 On everything I love that’s exactly what I thought when I heard Kaycyy freestyle. They gotta throw a flag on that or something 😂😂
I fuck with this list! Babytron n Cochise was my favs too! Unky selling dawg out the house he might get a vic is crazy
LMAOOO @ "Kali your performance, it's giving garbage". Shit took me out
nah adding the kai clip was a violation bro lmaoooooooo
8:35 kai’s chat😭
I agree with this list my sister going around the house saying the yippe ki yo line from saucy
Big burrrrrr!!!! Had me Rollin!!!😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I might be biased but Babytron was my favorite freestyle. Only thing id knock frrl is his delivery lol
Nah this list is crazy 😭😭😭you put saucy above Nardo wick and docheiie
While I personally have Babytron at 1 & Cochise in my top 3, I definitely agree that his music is dog water but shiit his freestyle was nice asl
that lil yachty bit tho 😂
Yea SaucySantana, babytron and Cochise carried this class imo
Big 30?
Babyface ray was definitely off the cough medicine
“Unky” is really what Detroiters refer to as the old heads
on time
Big Scarr needs to make up for it in this cypher . Alot of people sleep on him time for him to wake they ass up
I don't know if this is reaching but I heard someone say the "2022 been great got some cheese pilin'" can also mean that like grating some cheese and it piling on top of each other.
29:53 same bro 😭
Babyface ray really made detroit look bad, i don’t really like his music but that freestyle was terrible
Fr at least we gotta babytron
Ima be honest to me. Big30 freestyle showed me how good pooh shiesty freestyle would have been if it had a little more energy. I really liked Big30 freestyle. That’s just me
Hey momma I did it
Im finally here!
18:36 Bro you dead wrong for that 😂😂
Another list had Tron at 11 or 10 so I’m glad we agree he had the second best one Kayycyy had the best one to me tho but I’m glad we agree on Tron
