I wanted to dissect this freestyle. But after writing out the first two lines, I realized how long it would take. First two lines took almost a page. So many things go over peoples head. People still don't understand what his BET cypher meant. Wait till XXL freshman list, he definitely has something to prove, after being kept out of the Freshmen List for so long (refer to all the songs where he mentions XXL, including this freestyle). There are so many meanings behind this song. So many, its ridiculous. This is the first two lines. “To recognize the genius I am” - Understand how intelligent/skilled he is. Now, its well accepted that to have brilliant understanding and coherence, your mind must be in a state of clarity. You must have a clear mind to be able to think and process on a high level. Keep this in mind. Now let the breakdown begin :) Arenas/Eirene/Eirenes/Serena/Serenes are enunciated to sound alike with intention. Arena - fighting grounds, skill level, concert stage. Eirene - goddess of peace Eirenes - Spartan warriors in their prime Serena - highly rated female tennis player Serenes - clear, quiet, tranquil, calm, peaceful Venus - goddess of love and beauty, another highly rated female tennis player 1st Meaning: “You’d have to have one foot on Venus” - One foot on top of your opponent is a gesture of victory. Therefore, to even stand a chance, you’d have to defeat the only person who can even come close. Venus Williams (a well talented tennis player) is the sister of Serena Williams (another talented tennis player who is considered one of the best in the Women’s Tennis Association). “To even visit these arenas I’m in” - to even get to challenge him in the arena, you'd have to work your way up, and take out the second place first. 2nd Meaning; “You’d have to have one foot on Venus” - Again, very similar to the “you have to take out second place, to come to first place” analogy. Venus is the second Planet from the Sun. “To even visit these arenas I’m in” - to even come close to first place (his level), you have to be at least in second place. One foot on Venus, to step onto Mercury. 3rd Meaning: “You’d have to have one foot on Venus” - You’d have to be full of love and beauty. Venus is the goddess of love and beauty. “To even visit these serenes I’m in” - (Eirene/serenes/arenas) to even visit the peacefulness he is in (where he is mentally). Serena is a Latin name that is derived from the word serene. Serene means calm, clear, peaceful. Eirene is the goddess of peace. You would have to have one foot in “love and beauty” to even visit the “peacefulness” or clear mind he is in. 4th Meaning: "You'd have to have one foot on Venus" - you'd have to defeat or be done with all that is love and beauty. Have no good left. "To even visit these Eirenes I'm in" - to even come close to the "group of killers" he is categorized with. He is ruthless with the lyrics and kills everything. Eirenes are Spartan warriors at their physical prime (age 20 to 30). 5th Meaning: (the most obvious) “You’d have to have one foot on Venus” - you’d have to be so out of this world. “To even visit these arenas I’m in” - to even be able to visit the stages he performs on. Then he proceeds to ask: “Did I say Eirenes/Arenas or Serenes/Serena?” --- Last person that I spoke to about King Los brought up Kendrick Lamar. He was a super K Dot fan. We exchanged their best lines. He finally gave up, and his only argument then was: But where is his (King Los) album? Lol. The humor. Both good rappers, I'd just rather King Los, Lupe Fiasco, Joe Budden, J. Cole, and yes, Fabolous, over Kendrick. I know a few people will question that list. So be it:)
Very dope, in depth analysis of the 1st few bars of a BEAST verse. Kudos. You're right. This went waaaay over my head. I picked up on venus/serena/arenas and I took it a step further, thinking that he may have referred to Gilbert arenas n his gun scenario with the Wizards. U broke it down homie, salute!

Here you go: I'm ill with, the skill with *scratches* (Scratching is a trademark for remixing, which is what he is superior at) The skill wet If this the shit that I build with (if he builds his career/brand by remixing other rappers' beats) I'm building a building built with a billion builders (His brain is so much advanced he feels like he is building a legacy/catalog built with multiple builders) That's building a building on top of this one (that are building on top of this freestyle.

WTFF!!!!!!!!!!
Its mind blowing to hear a man flow INTO the DNA of the beat. No wasted bars, no wasted syllables, and then the closeout..TO God Be The Glory!!! Fam, we created a musical genre, its high time we respect it! This is paying homage. ONE
I'm only seeing this freestyle now. Los is a monster omg. The whole building flow was insane. And I'm not even talking about all the bars that followed after. Straight poetry
"No feelin' is toppin' this one No villain is stoppin' this one That'd be a dark night, won't it? While overlookin' my city, had a Dark Knight moment I'm overlookin' my city, same city that overlooked me Now it's back to back tours, cause cities just overbook me Speaking of Dark Knight, I know some jokers that scheme Cuz I done blew up somethin' sick like the openin' scene Not to mention, nobody gon mention you this year You just a joker, I really made the pencil disappear" Naa Im fkn done, BEST RAPPER ALIVE
i just dont understand wtf people listen to these days ... if cole and kendrick have 10s of millions of subscribers then how come not even one million among them are subscribed to king los. smh true art is really going unnoticed. 😓. los is a beast with pen 🥂
I always find myself coming back to this freestyle a few times a year and I always catch something that went over my head the last time I listened. Los is fucking unbelievable
The complexity of this lyricism is mind numbing. So much word play and multiple meanings... Every single bar has so much depth to it... "Even if you had wooden eyes, you can see I shine in my future so why wouldn' I? (wooden eye)" "guess they copy/paste us cause we the right clique (right click)" The Venus Serena/arenas scheme was ill... The XXL scheme was ILL... The dark Knight scheme though... Too many bars to mention but those were some favorites.
When a rapper uses a bunch of different words that have to do with a certain theme and connects them in a clever way. It's basically using a bunch of words that are associated with one another in clever ways.
***** yes I know. My comment was in response to someone who asked what a scheme is but it looks like he deleted his comment. You can see in my original post that I call it a scheme.
55marpo no. They are called schemes. Homonyms and just two words that sound like one another but have different meanings. A scheme is when a rapper incorporates a bunch of different words that relate to the same theme and put them together in a complex technical manner.
And that iambic pentameter line right after. ("The tick-TOCK rhythm of iambic pentameter can be heard in the opening line of Shakespeare's Sonnet 12" - Wikipedia)
Nah that goes along with the iambic pentameter bar. Cuz Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe both used iambic pentameters in their writing. Then he proceeded to use an iambic pentameter in the next bar. “I could never be an amateur, ever” is an iambic pentameter
Comedians told me that I WOODn't fly... I remember losing family values and I WOODn't cry... Nigga if you had WOOODEN EYES, you could see 'em fly in my future so why WOODn't I (Wooden-eye) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had to listen to this shit to get the CRAZY wordplay he said! "Don't recognize the genius i am, had to have one foot on venus to visit these arenas i'm in (serena's) SHITTTT MAN my ears has been blessed, thank you Rap God, haha. :)
"i choose to excel Made my old ex mad, gave my new ex hell Went from no X to one X to two X, well I been nice since my tee shirt was 2XL Yeah that's XX, like two exes ago But it's still all love like X's and O's"
Cause at some point, we feel we have exes who owe You know an explanation why they made an exit, and oh If you think I'm talkin' bout my exes, come on, man Tell XXL they got one more chance
I start crying out of amazement everytime he touch a track fr. THIS IS RAP.... shit touches my heart to see a young man from the city who isnt ignorant, illiterate, and have so much potential
Dudes mad talented!! I'm still tripping about the X's and O's part. He is literally using the same words to make a bunch of different meanings. Sheesh!!!
I remember when this first came out and I found him doing a freestyle on sway in the morning and I swear nothing is as hard as thing as far as wordplay and true flow! Almost 10 years later and I bump this !

Wayne Gee Its a freestyle in the sense that hes spitting a verse over a random beat. Also, just because its labled freestyle doesn't mean its off the top. You really think he came up with that Iambic Pentameter off the top? Shits way to complex. Not to mention the whole verse period is just crazy. Not trying to argue u or anything but I assure you, this is written. He should have labeled it "freeverse" or something. People always get this confused.
Wayne Gee He is a great freestyler, theres a few videos were hes going straight off the head, sways in the morning 5 fingers of death video or the king los boston cypher video. He's crazy off the top but yeah, not this one. It's all good though buddy, I used to think the same thing about a lot of people.
"I guess why in my rhymes I spend time outer space"... If you're a fan you know he always rhyme about space, stars, galaxies etc. Introspective and self aware of his other worldly comparisons in his wordplay. Dope
Oh that freestyle was absolutely insane. He has so many good remixes/songs. Make You Fly, Roman's Revenge, U Be Killin Em, Moment for life, A Milli, Let The Beat Build are some of my faves. Pretty easy to put one of his mixtapes on and listen to it all the way through. His studio freestyles and word challenges are entertaining as fuck.
Still here in 2024 … all love

To recognize the genius I am
You'd have to have one foot on Venus to even visit these arenas I'm in
Now did I say arenas or Serena's?
I kill shit, Venus/Serena's, I kill shit, I Gilbert Arenas
I'm ill wit' the skill wit', the skill wit'
If this the shit that I build
When I'm buildin' a buildin' built with a billion builders
That's buildin' a buildin' on top of this one
No feelin' is toppin' this one
No villain is stoppin' this one
That'd be a dark night, won't it?
While overlookin' my city, had a Dark Knight moment
I'm overlookin' my city, same city that overlooked me
Now it's back to back tours, cause cities just overbook me
Speaking of Dark Knight, I know some jokers that scheme
Cuz I done blew up somethin' sick like the openin' scene
Not to mention, nobody gon mention you this year
You just a joker, I really made the pencil disappear
I got that Edgar Allen Poe flow, bars like a bear trap
Shakespeare's only rebuttal would be a head scratch
I haven't been amateur, ever, never
Iambic pentameter, clever, better
Nobody even seems this deep
I got niggas stayin' awoke to put my dreams to sleep
But, watch me maneuver
New maroon drop for my jewel
I need moon rocks for my Muller, I'm the future
Tell these niggas I need my proper spot
They a bunch of Papa Docs and Chocolate Drops
My 16's proper, give me my props or not
I went Pac at 16 when my Pops was shot
Uh, it left my mind out of place
I guess that's why in my rhymes, I spend time out of space
So, I speak life, rappers talk
Can't be a rap god if you've never rapped for God
Gotta be close to him like the woman in The Bible who felt she could be blessed just to grab his cloth
Uh, bulletin: we full of sin
If we wade in the water, the weight of it might pull us in
They, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Can't fake what you ain't, ain't, ain't, ain't
Wait, if you're searchin' for a way, wait
I made a way, all my homies used to weigh weight
Brakes, pump your brake, brake, brake, brakes
My niggas break in and take, they don't take breaks
I can't fail, I don't believe in it
You don't possess humble nor obedience
Comedians told me that I wouldn't fly
I remember losin' family members and I wouldn't cry
Nigga if you had wooden eyes
You could see I'm fly in my future, so why wouldn't I?
I'm too good, these niggas good and high
Boys in the hood don't rock wit' you Cuba Goodin' guys
Niggas on that "be alike" shit
Guess they "copy, paste" us cause we the right clique
Uh, get it? Right click, copy, paste?
Life hit a rocky phase, ice wrist, Versace shade
White whip, on hockey blades, grill like a hockey mask
Chop it like a hockey stick, niggas pop it to pocket cash
Talkin' bout you poppin' gats, runnin' wit' those sloppy cats
Same suckas probably be watchin' you get your pockets tapped
Fuck all that cocky shit, where I'm from they cocking straps
Think you wavy 'til you get hit with 8 in your stocking cap
But, I choose to excel
Made my old ex mad, gave my new ex hell
Went from no X to one X to two X, well
I been nice since my tee shirt was 2XL
Yeah that's XX, like two exes ago
But it's still all love like X's and O's
Cause at some point, we feel we have exes who owe
You know an explanation why they made an exit, and oh
If you think I'm talkin' bout my exes, come on, man
Tell XXL they got one more chance
But, man I lay low
If I ain't on ya list, then that bitch don't exist, Manti Te'o
I'm anti aye-bro, that shit they puttin' up corny
Tell these niggas they ain't good enough to bore me
I'm just paintin' so y'all see the story
I can't be guarded in rap, to God be the glory

Arenas/Eirene/Eirenes/Serena/Serenes are enunciated to sound alike with intention.
Arena - fighting grounds, skill level, concert stage.
Eirene - goddess of peace
Eirenes - Spartan warriors in their prime
Serena - highly rated female tennis player
Serenes - clear, quiet, tranquil, calm, peaceful
Venus - goddess of love and beauty, another highly rated female tennis player
1st Meaning:

You would have to have one foot in “love and beauty” to even visit the “peacefulness” or clear mind he is in.

Eirenes are Spartan warriors at their physical prime (age 20 to 30).
5th Meaning: (the most obvious)
“You’d have to have one foot on Venus” - you’d have to be so out of this world.
“To even visit these arenas I’m in” - to even be able to visit the stages he performs on.

hes good but his flow isnt goin with the beat..Nigga be spittin tho
Nastinati Rod KEY WORD FREE STYLE
weslegna this aint a off-the-top free but its still ill
being able to go off beat and still be good is a skill, he can go on beat all the time
Its mind blowing to hear a man flow INTO the DNA of the beat. No wasted bars, no wasted syllables, and then the closeout..TO God Be The Glory!!! Fam, we created a musical genre, its high time we respect it! This is paying homage. ONE
Still can’t get over this one!! 10 yrs strong 💪
los is already one of the best lyricist ive ever heard. it sucks that he's not as famous as he should be.
***** he needs a good team behind him, i'd rate eminem if he signed him.
@@doctorshemp98 4 years and we still waiting on this
Los is another artist that P. Diddy jerked around..🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
This mans music brings a smile to my face every time. He is the god of rap.
i know right he is above mainstream
God of rap? King Los is nice but stop it!
MrThekidisback he is a god lol him and Kendrick, well not a god but shit he's definitely better than all the big mainstream rappers
King Chris his wordplay is arguably the best. Ever. he just needs to drop some club jams to win over the pop fans
King Chris You must be a 90's baby LOL Your generation has so much trash ass music that ya'll think any and every lyrical rapper is a rap god.
"Guess they copy and paste us cause we the right click"
MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm
yes!! lol #nice #YeYo
Agreed.
BARS
Hahah damnnn that shit so smart it's ridiculous, Los one of the most clever ones with the words definitely.
🔥
2024 we still here💣💣 LO$
For the hell of it in 2021 anyone ?
Always💯💯💯
How da fuq everyone sleep on King Los??? Hes amazing
8 years later and this is the best pound cake freestyle HANDS DOWN. Los is a GOAT 👑
No cap
I'm only seeing this freestyle now. Los is a monster omg. The whole building flow was insane. And I'm not even talking about all the bars that followed after. Straight poetry
Make that 9
One of the tightest verses ever spit
YUP!!!
I concur 💯🔥#forgivemeforibeenslippingonthisgoat
"No feelin' is toppin' this one
No villain is stoppin' this one
That'd be a dark night, won't it?
While overlookin' my city, had a Dark Knight moment
I'm overlookin' my city, same city that overlooked me
Now it's back to back tours, cause cities just overbook me
Speaking of Dark Knight, I know some jokers that scheme
Cuz I done blew up somethin' sick like the openin' scene
Not to mention, nobody gon mention you this year
You just a joker, I really made the pencil disappear"
Naa Im fkn done, BEST RAPPER ALIVE
Topsalop Salai you just repeated what he said in the song
Carl Beaston I know....
Obviously he quoted Los then said he's the best rapper alive, you sir are a fucking moron....
+Carl Beaston (The Original Carl) Lol. No shit.
Dope shit!!!
i just dont understand wtf people listen to these days ... if cole and kendrick have 10s of millions of subscribers then how come not even one million among them are subscribed to king los. smh true art is really going unnoticed. 😓. los is a beast with pen 🥂
One of the greatest rap verses of all time ... 2022 👀🔥 King Los 🐐
2021 anyone still bumps this fire?
I always find myself coming back to this freestyle a few times a year and I always catch something that went over my head the last time I listened. Los is fucking unbelievable
You not lying 🤦🏾♂️🤣
Needs more viiiiiiiiieeeeewwwwwwss
In 2019 this still may be one of the coldest lyrical freestyles created🔥🔥🔥🔥
2020 .. still is. But right next to his LA Leakers freestyle.
I get insanely hyped everytime I hear him freestyle
The complexity of this lyricism is mind numbing. So much word play and multiple meanings... Every single bar has so much depth to it...
"Even if you had wooden eyes, you can see I shine in my future so why wouldn' I? (wooden eye)"
"guess they copy/paste us cause we the right clique (right click)"
The Venus Serena/arenas scheme was ill...
The XXL scheme was ILL...
The dark Knight scheme though...
Too many bars to mention but those were some favorites.
When a rapper uses a bunch of different words that have to do with a certain theme and connects them in a clever way. It's basically using a bunch of words that are associated with one another in clever ways.
***** yes I know. My comment was in response to someone who asked what a scheme is but it looks like he deleted his comment. You can see in my original post that I call it a scheme.
+sKoggs TheDJ Those are called Homonyms
55marpo no. They are called schemes. Homonyms and just two words that sound like one another but have different meanings. A scheme is when a rapper incorporates a bunch of different words that relate to the same theme and put them together in a complex technical manner.
***** hell yeah. No fucking doubt. His control response was the best one by far.
Royce da 5'9 and Lupe both called him one of the best
"edgar allan poe flow...bars like a beartrap..shakespeares rebuttal would be a headscratch " daaaaaaaaaaaaayum
"they all wanna copy paste us cause we the right clique-click"
And that iambic pentameter line right after.
("The tick-TOCK rhythm of iambic pentameter can be heard in the opening line of Shakespeare's Sonnet 12" - Wikipedia)
imahelpfulperson 😭😭😭💯
Damn who finna cross This dude🔥🔥
Nah that goes along with the iambic pentameter bar. Cuz Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe both used iambic pentameters in their writing. Then he proceeded to use an iambic pentameter in the next bar. “I could never be an amateur, ever” is an iambic pentameter
Comedians told me that I WOODn't fly...
I remember losing family values and I WOODn't cry...
Nigga if you had WOOODEN EYES, you could see 'em fly in my future so why WOODn't I (Wooden-eye) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“I know some jokers that scheme, cause i done blew up sum’n sick like that opening scene” muuuthaahh fuuuuckahhh 🔥🔥
Blew up a hospital (Full of sick people)
Bo 😂😂😂😂
Back from the future 2021 ..
Sheeesh still crazy in 2020
I got that "Goooddddamnnn" face like 15 times while listening to this
🔥💯🔥💯👑💯🔥 they scared of you bro.
I had to listen to this shit to get the CRAZY wordplay he said! "Don't recognize the genius i am, had to have one foot on venus to visit these arenas i'm in (serena's) SHITTTT MAN my ears has been blessed, thank you Rap God, haha. :)
2020 anyone? King Los 👑🔥 This beat is hella fire for real
Facts have u heard his new 🔥🔥🔥
2024
I stopped listening to hip hop ten years ago and stumbled upon this guy. He brought me back!
For me, it was Jay Electronica that got me back to writing rhymes again after I stopped in 2011.
"i choose to excel
Made my old ex mad, gave my new ex hell
Went from no X to one X to two X, well
I been nice since my tee shirt was 2XL
Yeah that's XX, like two exes ago
But it's still all love like X's and O's"
wow.
Cause at some point, we feel we have exes who owe
You know an explanation why they made an exit, and oh
If you think I'm talkin' bout my exes, come on, man
Tell XXL they got one more chance
Disgusting
Shit is crazy. The breakdown is crazy
2020And king los top genius rapper
I’m really mad..this doesn’t have 3 and 4 million plays.. as a rapper I can truly appreciate this mans pen.. 🙏🏾
I start crying out of amazement everytime he touch a track fr. THIS IS RAP.... shit touches my heart to see a young man from the city who isnt ignorant, illiterate, and have so much potential

KinG!!! 👆
2023 and am still here ….. King Los 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember when this first came out and I found him doing a freestyle on sway in the morning and I swear nothing is as hard as thing as far as wordplay and true flow! Almost 10 years later and I bump this !
Lyrics from rap genius:
To recognize the genius I am
You'd have to have one foot on Venus to even visit these arenas I'm in
Now did I say arenas or Serena's?
I kill shit, Venus/Serena's, I kill shit, I Gilbert Arenas
I'm ill wit' the skill wit', the skill wit'
If this the shit that I build
When I'm buildin' a buildin' built with a billion builders
That's buildin' a buildin' on top of this one
No feelin' is toppin' this one
No villain is stoppin' this one
That'd be a dark night, won't it?
While overlookin' my city, had a Dark Knight moment
I'm overlookin' my city, same city that overlooked me
Now it's back to back tours, cause cities just overbook me
Speaking of Dark Knight, I know some jokers that scheme
Cuz I done blew up somethin' sick like the openin' scene
Not to mention, nobody gon mention you this year
You just a joker, I really made the pencil disappear
I got that Edgar Allen Poe flow, bars like a bear trap
Shakespeare's only rebuttal would be a head scratch
I haven't been amateur, ever, never
Iambic pentameter, clever, better
Nobody even seems this deep
I got niggas stayin' awoke to put my dreams to sleep
But, watch me maneuver
New maroon drop for my jewel
I need moon rocks for my Muller, I'm the future
Tell these niggas I need my proper spot
They a bunch of Papa Docs and Chocolate Drops
My 16's proper, give me my props or not
I went Pac at 16 when my Pops was shot
Uh, it left my mind out of place
I guess that's why in my rhymes, I spend time out of space
So, I speak life, rappers talk
Can't be a rap god if you've never rapped for God
Gotta be close to him like the woman in The Bible who felt she could be blessed just to grab his cloth
Uh, bulletin: we full of sin
If we wade in the water, the weight of it might pull us in
They, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Can't fake what you ain't, ain't, ain't, ain't
Wait, if you're searchin' for a way, wait
I made a way, all my homies used to weigh weight
Brakes, pump your brake, brake, brake, brakes
My niggas break in and take, they don't take breaks
I can't fail, I don't believe in it
You don't possess humble nor obedience
Comedians told me that I wouldn't fly
I remember losin' family members and I wouldn't cry
Nigga if you had wooden eyes
You could see I'm fly in my future, so why wouldn't I?
I'm too good, these niggas good and high
Boys in the hood don't rock wit' you Cuba Goodin' guys
Niggas on that "be alike" shit
Guess they "copy, paste" us cause we the right clique
Uh, get it? Right click, copy, paste?
Life hit a rocky phase, ice wrist, Versace shade
White whip, on hockey blades, grill like a hockey mask
Chop it like a hockey stick, niggas pop it to pocket cash
Talkin' bout you poppin' gats, runnin' wit' those sloppy cats
Same suckas probably be watchin' you get your pockets tapped
Fuck all that cocky shit, where I'm from they cocking straps
Think you wavy 'til you get hit with 8 in your stocking cap
But, I choose to excel
Made my old ex mad, gave my new ex hell
Went from no X to one X to two X, well
I been nice since my tee shirt was 2XL
Yeah that's XX, like two exes ago
But it's still all love like X's and O's
Cause at some point, we feel we have exes who owe
You know an explanation why they made an exit, and oh
If you think I'm talkin' bout my exes, come on, man
Tell XXL they got one more chance
But, man I lay low
If I ain't on ya list, then that bitch don't exist, Manti Te'o
I'm anti aye-bro, that shit they puttin' up corny
Tell these niggas they ain't good enough to bore me
I'm just paintin' so y'all see the story
I can't be guarded in rap, to God be the glory
King
Homie on another level
Still fly in 2022. A big fan from Nigeria
King Los and BmrMoejoe’s pound cake freestyles is the best on the internet
This man is legendary.. wow
He earned that Title as a KING
Nasty c - Pound Cake freestyle
No words can express how legendary this freestyle is. I wish Los got more recognition
I followed the rabbit hole of freestyle rap which lead me here, needless to say I’m not upset 🔥
1 of 1. Best rapper alive.
This freestyle kills written down thought out lyrics daamn
Wayne Gee ? this is written. lol.
***** But its a freestyle...
Wayne Gee Its a freestyle in the sense that hes spitting a verse over a random beat. Also, just because its labled freestyle doesn't mean its off the top. You really think he came up with that Iambic Pentameter off the top? Shits way to complex. Not to mention the whole verse period is just crazy. Not trying to argue u or anything but I assure you, this is written. He should have labeled it "freeverse" or something. People always get this confused.
***** Oooohhh okay. I just thought he was that good lol
Wayne Gee He is a great freestyler, theres a few videos were hes going straight off the head, sways in the morning 5 fingers of death video or the king los boston cypher video. He's crazy off the top but yeah, not this one. It's all good though buddy, I used to think the same thing about a lot of people.
When I'm feeling uninspired I throw on a Los track and go hard. Love Los' music
"I guess why in my rhymes I spend time outer space"...
If you're a fan you know he always rhyme about space, stars, galaxies etc. Introspective and self aware of his other worldly comparisons in his wordplay. Dope
I'm just now getting on King Los saw him on a freestyle now I'm here.
Oh that freestyle was absolutely insane. He has so many good remixes/songs. Make You Fly, Roman's Revenge, U Be Killin Em, Moment for life, A Milli, Let The Beat Build are some of my faves.
Pretty easy to put one of his mixtapes on and listen to it all the way through.
His studio freestyles and word challenges are entertaining as fuck.
I want King Los to battle Daylyt so bad. His battle with Ice could be considered bullying
You happy now?
Well it happened both did amazing you'd need a masters degree to be able to listen to it
Heard this when it first came out and I still haven’t stopped putting people on to this😂🔥🤭
