"I have the soul of a black king, it takes control when I’m rapping" If this isn’t pre-written it’s one of the most impressive things I’ve heard in a while.
If it's off top, the lyrics aren't as impressive (still really impressive regardless) as his flow and delivery... he's just riding tf out that beat and spitting fast. That's what's special
how'd you know? At least the second part probably isn't because he did that spontaneuosly. He already had said:"This is all I have." So the second part, imo, is definitely off the top.
Bro rappers recycle bars in freestyles, ive been rapping since 3rd grade and when u freestyle some words you say trigger your mind to connect it with something you've written before. Its still a freestyle tho u can tell by his eyes and delivery only
Came back from listening to the New Kendrick Remix and i Love Kendrick but i gotta give this beat to Joey Bada$$. Dude got a death sentence on this beat!
Verse 1] Finally got a piece of the profit Wine and cheese in the seat by the cockpit I ain't mean for your b**h to be watching Eyeing me, she kept eyeing me Every day, we just making these profits Money long, I'm going in some deep pockets Hands is to the ceiling when I'm in the building How you make a living?

Imagine a whole album of joey spitting on trap beats, he done it before when he made the dope track lord knows with g herbo. Infact an album is unlikely but imagine just a few fast flowing joey songs on a hard ass beat
Revok Sixth That was the main problem with Kenny's verse for me. His flow was basically non-existent. Which is so uncharacteristic of Kendrick. I thought he was about to kill it like he did on Holy Key. But no.
USERNAME SECOND2Son Seriously. The second part with the multi rhymes is insanely good. The whole ending to that verse is so crazy. And his verse on the THat Part Remix.
"I'm on south beach I'm Tony montana, feeling like the whole world is mine." That's a bar right there. Who remembers the end scene in scarface where Tony is floating face down in a pool of blood and the screen pans up showing the golden ball with "the world is yours" around it glowing neon pink. That bar went over my head for too long. Glad I rewatched this.
Danny Jongezoon Yo my fashion company actually designed and made the robe, we are based on nigeria and make the beat clothin bar none. hit me up with your creditcard and we will deliver within a day.
5 years later and these are still the best mask off verses I've heard. One of the only times I'll say someone outdid Kendrick, and his bars were fucking incredible
This is 1 my favorite freestyles ever the beats absolute 🔥 and the bears on his freestyle motivate me in the maddest way. Finally got a piece of the profit wine and a cheese and a seat by the cockpit. Man just tells ya a story its like hes talking to you in a freestyle its absolute quality man

@microch1p I like the way he meshes the black king and rapping pronunciations
boii sum of yall hatin.. aint even close to be aware as joey. 47
Now my middle fingers up in my underwear 🖕🏿
- Joey Bada$$
He’s a god 🚫🧢
@microch1p can you do better? Exactly shut yo ass up
2:08 he catches the beat so perfectly
I get goosebumps everytime at that part so smooth
Its just so satisfying when he catches the beat that perfectly
The “let’s go” also made that part hard
I had to confirm and definitely he's in sync with the beat
0:39 was smooth but 2:08 was on fleek🔥🔥
The flows are unreal
Mirco Bacigalupo so many of them
Exactly man! Joey deserves more praise.
Mirco Bacigalupo no.
Mirco Bacigalupo why does his voice sound like that when he's rapping? NY Accent?
056 Lanibandz yes dude 😂 he's brooklyn's very own

It isn't completely a freestyle but it is still SOOOOOOO impressive
Facts
wish i could watch this for the first time again😢
HELL YEAHHHHH
Black thought on funkflex is a once in a lifetime freestyle
It’s so impressive how he can switch up his flow mid freestyle
Schizophrenia
pre-written. still incredible
@@izvy Most freestyle are, freestyling doesn't mean going off the dome.
It's usually about how well you can ride the beat.
That cadence and flow is amazing. god level MC abilities coming from this young man.
Zach Hill The GOATS always start young and are already crazy with it. Like Nas, L, Pun, Pac, Big etc.
Mark - E Brooo Joey's Control response was the best response but nobody knows about it.
Dichotomy one of his most brutal tracks ever
Dichotomy fr
Mark - E The wordplay is as good as Mixtape Weezy.
He been in the Hyperbolic Chambers working on these flows 🔥🔥🔥
Revok Sixth 👍

POV: ur searching this up once again
Yuppppp
Verse 1]
Finally got a piece of the profit
Wine and cheese in the seat by the cockpit
I ain't mean for your b**h to be watching
Eyeing me, she kept eyeing me
Every day, we just making these profits
Money long, I'm going in some deep pockets
Hands is to the ceiling when I'm in the building
How you make a living? Hm?
Lately never chilling, mind is on a million things I gotta do
Ladies on me with them no time for chilling no time for I've been on a different type of time
I live unlike the rest, a different type of grind
I'm on South Beach like Tony Montana
Feeling like the whole world is mine
And I sit back let your mind run
No man knows when his time gon' come
Every action think about the outcome
Cause I never outrun no bullet from a gun
Don't ask Malcolm, ask, “how come?”
Ask any real n***a really ‘bout some
When you in the field n***a don't play dumb
Better keep your eyes peeled in the rear view
Know a couple n***as in the vil who will k** you
Run up with yo' hands on the wheel and air you out
Never give a f**, never hear you out
News clip popping up about your whereabouts
You ain't really with the war so don't go there
Got my middle fingers up in my underwear
f** the world on some G sh**
With the waviest flow make ya seasick
If you can swing man, the rhythm of the little thing
She drown I'm telling her to get her friend
White girls and they love me for my melanin
Kiss me all over my brown skin
I got the soul of a black king
It takes control when I'm rapping
Let the b**h unload like a Mac-10
Brrt Brrt, that's all that happened
[Verse 2]
These rap n***as be acting up
Pop, man, sh**, can't back it up
Don't let me catch you lacking
I pack you inside then mess 'em up
I ain't even have a pot to piss in
Listen, I'm twisting the system
And missing the recognition
I see the future clearly my premonitions is scary
Pray that they bury me with my soul
It's been heavenly sent
For the fathers and martyrs
Of this art that we forming, we call it hip-hop
n***a, guess you must have forgot
Mark them days on the calendar
Don't you did, that just challenged us
Sonics' Hedgehodge [?]
Got heads bobbin' way out in Africa
Radios be lacking dough
You can't front on talent so
I'mma k** like every show, and any foe, and any flow
No flex when I be in the zone
No door watching when I come on
I check in in the microphone
Collect this check then I'm headed home
It ain't always been like this
'member we was broke as sh**?
Saving L's til next week
My ashtray still got a roach in it
I hit it until my finger tips
Get burned at the filter tip
'fore I learned to take risks
These are the most messed up and badly written sad interpretation of these lyrics, might as well have not bothered writing them
"I got the soul of a black king, it takes control when im rapping" 👀🔥🔥🔥
