Props to Ne-yo for knowing he wouldn't blow anyone's minds, did it anyway, kicking his pride and doing it for the show. Singing freestyle gets much more complicated. Not only do you make up words that flow, you're constantly staying on key and adding runs and such.
Instrumentals: 1st - Lets get it on Marvin Gaye 2nd - 1944 - Mr Carmack 3rd - Nicole Wray - Make it hot 4th - Slayer - Raining Blood (remix) 5th - Red Cafe - Let it Go
Why are people talking crap? This is an R&B *singer* who was put on the spot (didn't want to do it) and he did a decent job. Plus, it's a freestyle. That doesn't mean it necessarily off the dome. Quit being ignorant.
He's an incredible singer esp. live! I saw him at the White House Christmas tree lighting a few weeks ago and he blew me away! He may be not as strong here because it's morning but man he's good!
LOL - Ne-Yo has been a good friend of mine for years, & he does this in the booth too with the earphone cable .... i w was laughing at the rubber band today ....
How was this wack? Neyo is talented and has never been known as a freestyler, but he did a solid job especially on that Missy beat and that last beat. Bunch of haters on here for no reason.
i liked this a lot because it was different but super good. Mad respect to Ne-Yo. Sway should bring August Alsina through to do the same shit, I could picture him doing his thing.
Who sampled that though? I was buggin when the guitars came on. Neo singing over Slayer thats crazy and it sounded good. There's alot of good samples on that Reign In Blood album. Public Enemy sampled Angel Of Death back in the days.
Wait a minute, When mix tape were actually mix tapes back in the 90s this what they used to do, take an original r&b song lyrics and change the original beat and give it a hip hop beat, specifically with 808s.
Neyo killed it, he always gon b my favorite singer. On a side note Sway reminds me of future on 8 mile, that coulda been his life after hostin battles lol
Prove yourself???? Has she ever heard Ne-Yo sing before? The guy is totally gifted with vocals. How he harmonizes in his music is proof enough. He has nothing else to prove, we already know he's arguably one of the best male R&B vocalist to ever grace this Earth, the only one who could match him in vocals is Usher and perhaps Robin Thicke.
He has a very nice voice. Remember people "the 5 fingers of death" isn't about freestyling. Unless you claim to be a great freestyler, rapper, singer then you might get put on the spot and humiliated.. Not publicly, Sway would never allow that. The 5 fingers of death are about claims, voice and flow/soul and freestyle talents if claimed. The 5 fingers put them to the test, make it or break it.

Aaron Ggap my g! Goodshit
Shino Fucking mad that there's a Carmack track in this
Good work Shino.
What remix to Raining Blood is this!?
One of the best writer/producers of our time...
Ed Sheeran is a better song writer in my opinion but neyo is still dope
So..writing songs for other artists suddenly makes him the better song writer? Please
Oh okay I get you haha
Neyo wrote hits for damn near every big artist of the 2000's
Bruno Mars did as well

That "Sexy Love" mixed with that Missy/Nicole Wray beat was FIRE! That should've really been a remix...
Most definitely!
Can someone make it 😭🔥🔥
6:49 anyone peeped those slick ass rubber band manipulating skills?
Yeah but the words were from another song but still 🔥
Can't say he didn't ride them all as perfect as could be done, he's got a real talent for tempo. Takes a lotttt more skill then you think.
One of the most talented artist
He's an incredible singer esp. live! I saw him at the White House Christmas tree lighting a few weeks ago and he blew me away! He may be not as strong here because it's morning but man he's good!
well he is a singer and i guess freestyle goes better for rap artists...
Yeah I've never head of singing a freestyle, but it wasn't too bad
Levels mick hucknall though?
+lecappuccinostudios well,those singers he named were monumental talents...shit, Marvin Gaye alone
He sang sexy love in the 3rd beat it actually blended well
Sway didn't tell him to freestyle...so what y'all mad for, he told him to adjust the medoly of his songs to whatever beat sway gives him
The homie sounds great live. Most singers today only sound good in the studio.
Ne-Yo is the truth!.. I'm really feeling that remix idea
That rubber band in Ne-Yo's hands was mad distracting lol
Smh what was the point that was the least thing you should of been looking at
Phillip Narcisse
I couldn't help but look at it
Thats his good luck charm
Lol thats all i was lookin at
LOL - Ne-Yo has been a good friend of mine for years, & he does this in the booth too with the earphone cable .... i w was laughing at the rubber band today ....

the last beat.. damn.. he killed it.. better than the other 4.
Lol Considering he's not a freestyle rapper (or rapper for that matter), this was pretty dope..
Sway throwing shots at T-pain at the end tho! lmaoo
King naa t pain can sing
+King Hardly. It's just singing, it's not rapping.
+Myles omar Like in 'Low'.
But let’s not forget the fact that he did an A Milli freestyle....
The vibes I'm getting are amazing!
Zombie Slayer
Sexy Love is just simply some classic song wrighting for real
That last beat though !!!
That's that red cafe- let it go. That joint go hard..... Pause

He killed that 5 fingers of death!!! I need a remix album Ne-Yo and DJ Wonder summer of 2015
That rock beat was FIRE!
Original song, was "Raining Blood" by Slayer.
Who sampled that though? I was buggin when the guitars came on. Neo singing over Slayer thats crazy and it sounded good. There's alot of good samples on that Reign In Blood album. Public Enemy sampled Angel Of Death back in the days.

Some sick beats
I wonder if Neo could potentially make a remix album of his old stuff to new beats that would be Dope.
R&B original#Legendary

Ne-yo's freestyle : Mhmm , mhmm, mmm, da da da daa, ooooo
No hate hahaha his freestyle was real good 😻
Ne-Yo killed that last beat!
I want his beat 3 as a full song please and thank you
Wasn't suppose to be a freestyle, people... he just wanted to show that Ne-Yo could sing his songs over any beat and harmonize.
LOL WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT SLAYER BEAT
NICEEEE
He has a very nice voice.
Remember people "the 5 fingers of death" isn't about freestyling.
Unless you claim to be a great freestyler, rapper, singer then you might get put on the spot and humiliated..
Not publicly, Sway would never allow that.
The 5 fingers of death are about claims, voice and flow/soul and freestyle talents if claimed.
The 5 fingers put them to the test, make it or break it.
Does anybody know all the beats?
I can't stop looking at him playing with the rubber band
Ne yo is UNDERRATED
The 4th track was Lil Jon's "Stop f_cking with me" a sample of a Slayer track.
Someone name all the beats in order please!
Thank you
Damn Ne- yo bumping
What is the last instrumental?
Which track is the last beat ?
