Marcus Villanueva I was watching the time tick down and I really don’t understand that. Free verse, freestyle, whatever, these were some of the “realest” bars that I’ve ever heard. Meaningful, packed with messages and self reflection. Didn’t even skip a beat. Man I was upset too. Not to get on a tangent but I don’t think flex realized the caliber of his craft (ha) while he was busy playing professor at the beginning. I don’t know marlon craft at all besides this video. You gotta let a kid like this blossom and praise, he doesn’t need it but dude, this deserved a round of applaud at least. I got goosebumps.
cuz he didnt drop any actual bars he just said he only raps with legends and that he is basically one. most punchlines were weak n flow was literally the same
Alex Hernandez There was some serious bars behind that bro.. Better than 90% of what you hear nowadays, been a while since i’ve heard a rapper that’s actually blew me away a bit... Inspired
We all listening to these bars nodding our head and vibing and Flex looking for the glitch in the matrix. He so slow Flex didn’t realize he was taking shots at him all through the freestyle...
@@vvonslaughtvv9705 @VvOnslaughtvV Cassius Clay is the birth name of the legendary boxer Mohammed Ali. Ali changed his name partway through his career. So Marlon Craft is saying he's needed time to work on his "craft" (i.e., his skills and himself as a person) in order to shed his former self and become the legend he knows he can be.
I'm honestly so disappointed in Flex, he got a bigger reaction for mumble rapper than he did for this mans who literally just spit fire & kept it real about his mental health. I'm sad bro.
100% agree. First he tries to check him by asking him for all those old rappers names, then the second his epic freestyle is finished immediately asks him about his anxiety which was just one of the thousands of bars he just spit.. so awkward so cringy. Props to craft for keeping it casual.
As time has gone on, I kinda understand the questions before the freestyle. As a white guy in a black space, Marlon can't just be a good rapper. He has to have respect for the history and the culture too. And obviously Craft has huge respect for the culture and history. But after that rap, to not give ANY props was seriously fucked up. At least Sway knows the deal.
@@CharleyCarey What? This has nothing to do with race my guy. He is on his radio show to freestyle. Flex had the same disrespectful attitude towards JID's freestyle, go check it out. He is just a douchebag to people who aren't big names in the rap game yet.
I'm only here for the freestyle. Flex is a damn fool. Has one of the biggest platforms in Hip-hop and let it go straight to his head. Smh. If this was on Sway in the Morning, the entire room would be losing their minds! Real recognize real... 🔥🎶
I agree 1000% but I'm just trying to look at it like at least Marlon got the exposure. Flex didn't give him the love he deserved but everybody listening knows how fire that was. Now more people know about Marlon Craft.
I don’t think Flex likes that a white dude can do this. We’ve heard white rappers with cold bars before, but this guy doesn’t just got cold bars. He voices the soul of the people on a level deeper than I’ve ever heard from any white rapper. Maybe it’s a cultural appropriation thing, but this guy has the soul of hip hop in him. If you love music, that’s gotta connect. I feel like Flex is not really bout the music of it anymore. He’s just more about the promoting thing now.
I'm real hesitant to overstate things when it comes to White rappers because of how they're reflexively overrated, but you told not one lie. Marlon Craft is the truth, and an MC, which I NEVER say lightly.
I should've said too: I don't think Flex is even pro-Black like that. Could be because Marlon isn't a big name or on a major label. Flex been a bird since day one.
MARLON DESTROYED THIS BEAT AND BROUGHT THE HEAT, I CAN NOT STOP LISTENING TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS SONGS NOW, THIS IS THE REAL HIP HOP AND ENERGY THE WORLD NEEDS.
It's funny how in the beginning, before he raps, Flex is putting him to the test to see how much he understands the musical side of the culture....yet in his freestyle, he speaks on the deeper issues of inequality that many whites would probably shy away from. And he does it in a genuine, real and accurate way (in my opinion).
And yet, flex didn’t give him an ounce of props. He lost a lot of my respect here, dude made himself look like a clown. After all that heat, all you can talk about is anxiety??
Yeah I mean cmon there was zero anxiety there in him that whole time either. Even after that bullshit test he still threw flames, so Flex had no room to say a damn thing about it at least until he spoke on his freestyle and gave him props. Then to top it off he didn't acknowledge any of that straight up raw truth that Marlon spoke on, not even the positive note on racial inequality coming from the "opposing side". Flex came at this with a fkd up racist mentality and that was a form of hatred coming from someone who should be representing for his race because of his social standing and it just risked making the white American perspective of black Americans even worse or more biased, instead of taking this opportunity to make an example of integrity and his own personal want for equality in representation of the black people, for his fans to see and even possibly follow just because they are his fans and they might have respect in him but instead he flushed it down the toilet and honestly offended both of the opposing sides because we know real when we see it and hear it and nobody can deny that Marlon just showed up and showed out, showed us that he is real. Real recognize real and that's why Flex sounded like he was trying to look like he sleepin on Marlon's rap because Flex isn't real. He's a Disrespectful POS that is stomping on the efforts made recently from both racial stand points and all the progress that we've both made after George Floyd r.i.p. Thank you for reading✊🤙🤟All lives matter equally ✊✌️🤟 That's Love 💖
I understand he was amazing...but Put some respect om Flex name...20 years of real rap is indefinable. Marlon was great...until next week and Flexx being incredibly appreciative; knows you cant science real rap its Divine im part...so he asked how do you have the heart for it and ..Marlon answered brilliantly
This host is a HATER. Flex can’t take your shine young warrior Marlon. You are a treasure to the culture and your generation. Your place in American conscience is in your future. Throwing them up to ya. You killed it.
Wtf, one of the best freestyles ever on his show, “so you said something about anxiety, do you have anxiety” bro I would walked straight up outta there his show didn’t even deserve those bars

“ You can keep the attitude and the fear that that you hide you between but when the truth is in the room don’t you dare lie to me” perfect like for how flex was acting
No he didn’t…he wasn’t really saying anything just rhyming…great voice and flow…but it’s just random lines…there’s nothing that grabs you in…he good tho but I’m listening and he’s not saying anything…almost like talking to someone who forces bug words and sayin a whole lot but not getting to the point

@@stebossm3195 During the Black Thought freestyle the most reaction you get out of Flex is when Thought says "pre Kardashian Kanye" or "I can't explain what these lame kids is talking about", he clearly doesn't pick up on the deeper aspects on the first listen when listening live to a Black Thought freestyle because that's very difficult to do, if Marlon Craft was a bigger name I'm convinced he'd have had a stronger reaction to this.
I ain’t gunna lie. I didn’t like him until I seen this. And I had to listen to it a couple times. This is top 10 I have seen on flex. Ever. And I’ve seen them all.
Shawn Rios that entire freestyle must have gone completely over your head then cause that was absolutely full of bars. Sorry they weren’t spelled out word for word for you like your favorite “woke” rappers do.
Brother Ali podcast interview got me to visit this. He gave his take on this situation that was very interesting. Amazing how composed he was after completely killing this and not even getting the slightist possitive reaction. Salute to this man. Glad to see comments backin the undeniable talent that was displayed.
man i'm watching this in 2021 after just learning about Marlon, The way Flex Reacts once he's done, rushing in a subject of self reflection and observance after this man just spilled his soul out to you just isn't it. Props to Marlon Craft. Man Has Bars Like A Key Bank.
*”..comin’ up like Nasir name backwards, the people JONES-ing for the real” 🔥🔥🔥 (Nas = Nasir Jones. Nasir backwards = Risan/ Risin’.. comin’ up = rising, some ain’t catch that)*
He said "out here tryna front like the APPEAL ain't MASSive." Nas is one of the founders of MASS APPEAL. Then he followed that up with "like a mc ain't coming up, like nasir name backwards, its risan/rising." Then he said "to people jonesing for the real again, its here family" jonesing means to fixate on something and jones is nas last name. A lot of people caught the nasir name backwards bar but they missed the rest.
That went over your head. Flex was more so showcasing Marlon. He wanted to highlight Marlon's credentials and show the CORE of Hip Hop that he is OF the culture (a student of the game) not some fly by night internet, cornball rapper.
My favourite rapper , in my opinion he’s #1 and flex didn’t even show love that’s rough man , best rapper that’s ever been on flex lyrically .. you can lie to yourself but that flow is actually insane 💯💯
Yep. it was the same on the Jack Harlow video. I'd go on a limb and say the say "the old heads and baseball caps need to fall back', then mentioning "having his hat on like flex" was a direct shot. He was disrespectful to both of them.
It's not a freestyle, those were all writtens. They were good bars but he didn't go off top and he didn't change the flow of his writtens to match the beat
Watch Flex's eyes. He's literally afraid of Craft. "You been turning your paint brush for cashiers checks. That's why on the low you fear when someone reals next."
Flex you’re disrespectful as fk. You sat there like nothing was happening. One of the best free’s I’ve heard in a long time and yet not a single reaction...
Shout to Sway and Heather B... they gave him props after his 5 Fingers of Death. Flex just brushed him off and wanted to ask probing questions about anxiety smh lol.
Flex was shook because in this day & age he knew that no other future guest would be able to top Craft’s performance, so it was all downhill from this point
For real though... I can't think of one of these I've seen since that comes close. Obviously this and everything else is 2nd to Thought's but you're right.
Yeah....except Marlon is the "team captain" and Flex is the bitter 3rd string "old-school" veteran warming the bench for the benchwarmers and refuting inevitable change at every turn! Hey Flex....You can't fight the clock bruh.... BUT, You can be a humble pioneer of hip hop AND don't have to be a HATER of todays' talent! Respect to this young savage.... the dudes legit.
nmessai215 he did have way harder lines but I think it was clever in the sense he knows the first thing ppl are gonna think and he’s dispelling it from the jump. 💯
This is incredible by Marlon, hes super nervous about the set, shows up spits mega bars and then flex is "very nervous" by his bars throughout. after the set he has the cheek to only mention his anxiety as a mask to get away form the sheer talent as hes embarrassed to praise Marlon, ABSOLUTE disgrace, big up Marlon craft.
I feel you- but also, Flex asked about anxiety because he felt anxious. He felt like he was being called out and when he tried to follow each line he realized he was too stupid to keep up. Furthering his anxiety. So he spent the whole cypher wondering if he was the guy who was about to compare Marlon to other white rappers. He spent the whole 10 min wondering if he was being punked.
@@Alex_Justified Imma be honest, ive wathcing this dozens of times since and I dont know if I was right. I mean I think I was in part, but I was just mad cause Marlon looked like he was being disrespected. I almost wonder if there is more too this clip. like could flex have had to get to a commercial or something and then when they came back on he got back into talking about the cypher? idk, i feel bad for calling flex stupid hes clearly not at all and is a legend in his own right.
@@mariosola1 I kinda feel that Flex didn't want to give him credit, thus side stepping the conversation. He was amazed at his performance but I don't think he wanted to give credit for whatever reason.
Whats going on? I'm 73 white woman in Marin County and listening big time.... BLM ya, but talking it real reminds of Dylan way back when. Thanks for all of you delivering truth and valuing truth and putting truth first.
Flex was a straight punk yo!! At the end, Marlon says " I appreciate you" , Flex barely acknowledges it smh... Just lost mad respect for Flex. I hate to say it, but... If my man's skin was something different Flex woulda been acting a little different 💯. I ain't ever seen his demeanor like that yo!! Flex, GROW UP MAN!! Marlon got bars for days!!!!
Cause he ain't a big name, he did something similar to Mickey Factz, after killing it...... and the fact he white didn't help either. Flex don't appreciate Lyrics enough to run this series. Sway or AB from bars on I 95, would have went crazy over that freestyle
*man spits heat for 9 mins*
"yo you got anxiety?"
Ben W lmfao for real bruh fuckin flex is tasteless man.
😂😭

🇯🇲
Nasty
@mike cold spelling angle angel was a reach... Actually just reach for a dictionary
That was lit asf
He said “Had to bring the funk on flex to get my masters” 🔥🔥 who else caught that bar
This freestyle is underrated what, the flow, the energy. Crazy
"A lot of folks blind to who they are, Clayton Bigsby." This man is dropping CHAPPELLE SHOW BARS.
Facts
“I finished school for the degree left wit a bachelors, had to bring the funk on flex to get my masters” y’all not hearing this man‼️
That was dope I caught it
Dude funkdt on flex .com #WhatupSway my humble brother in the morning!
Flex didn't hear it either, that fucking clown.
man i'm watching this in 2021 after just learning about Marlon, The way Flex Reacts once he's done, rushing in a subject of self reflection and observance after this man just spilled his soul out to you just isn't it. Props to Marlon Craft. Man Has Bars Like A Key Bank.
"i stand behind what i write, but never backwards "back words", marlon is too fucking good.
*”..comin’ up like Nasir name backwards, the people JONES-ing for the real” 🔥🔥🔥 (Nas = Nasir Jones. Nasir backwards = Risan/ Risin’.. comin’ up = rising, some ain’t catch that)*
Fucking crazy
He said "out here tryna front like the APPEAL ain't MASSive." Nas is one of the founders of MASS APPEAL. Then he followed that up with "like a mc ain't coming up, like nasir name backwards, its risan/rising." Then he said "to people jonesing for the real again, its here family" jonesing means to fixate on something and jones is nas last name. A lot of people caught the nasir name backwards bar but they missed the rest.
Flex testing him in the beginning but def didn’t know about that!
Jesus man i did a reaction to this, but this was too hard to catch on a first listen. Dude had loads of bars on this song tbh.
I was looking thru the comments to see if anyone else caught that. Straight 🔥🔥
Who else laughed out loud when flex tried to test him at the beginning on his hip hop knowledge? When you spit like this of course you know the facts!
That went over your head. Flex was more so showcasing Marlon. He wanted to highlight Marlon's credentials and show the CORE of Hip Hop that he is OF the culture (a student of the game) not some fly by night internet, cornball rapper.
I saw marlon in toronto COMPLETELY SOLD OUT ! HES FIRE AF DIDNT TAKE ANY BREAKS WENT HARD FOR OVER AN HOUR AND HALF
This kid is at whole different level than most out there. 👏👏👏👏👏
Everyone is so upset about flex’s lack of a reaction but we should honestly feel sorry for him because it probably all went right over his head
Right
Lmfao facts
He did the same to Griselda. Flex is a clown
What he did with griselda was disgusting.
Definitely went over his stupid head
So nobody peeped that Kobe bar “Almost got 8 but around 24 they made me mamba”🔥🔥🤦🏿♂️
I peeped it n it was MEAN
I peeped it that was hard to pause
I caught that 🔥
Lol me too
Damn, missed that!! Bout to rewind and try catch it
Marlon: Drops some fire bars
Interviewer: DO YOU HAVE ANXIETY?
This dude deserves recognition he's speaking facts💯💯
Dude was definitely spittin, flex wack for trying to be Dr.Phlex afterward.
NSG LifeStyle BARZ
NSG LifeStyle hilarious
That was hard
That Kobe line!! 🔥🔥🔥
“Almost got ate(8) but around 24 it made me mamba” 4:18
Noone caught that one
Thats MAYBE the hardest line in this. Its perfect !
My favourite rapper , in my opinion he’s #1 and flex didn’t even show love that’s rough man , best rapper that’s ever been on flex lyrically .. you can lie to yourself but that flow is actually insane 💯💯
Honestly one of THE hardest flows I've ever heard. You know he went off the top too.
flex is a fool, laughing right in his face when marlon is 10x better than most rappers he bumps on his garbage radio station.
FACTS!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Lolll
Factual
😆🤣
"I don’t like how flex was so nonchalant and hype up garbage" - my wife after watching this. 😂
qwerty49392000 a real one
She's on point
First 2 minutes are whack, will touch base when over
Dude tried to rhyme "only work with family and legends that's the criteria" 😂
Nevermind too bad to finish. Absolute whackness thanks for setting white rappers back in the public eye Marlon
Flex can't even begin to comprehend how deep this dude's lyrics go. MARLON is above Flex's fragile intellect.
Facts
I wouldn't doubt. Like when a dude doesn't understand a "big" word & gets mad 😂
Coming back to this, I'm glad Flex didn't say anything. Get to hear 11 mins of uninterrupted fire.
Flex the type of dude he talking about 🤔🤣 that's why he salty
Facts!!
Thought the same thing lol
Damnnnn hahah factsss
Yep. it was the same on the Jack Harlow video. I'd go on a limb and say the say "the old heads and baseball caps need to fall back', then mentioning "having his hat on like flex" was a direct shot. He was disrespectful to both of them.
he just spit the hottest freestyle ive heard in awhile and funks reaction was "so...anxiety???" is he ok?
It's not a freestyle, those were all writtens. They were good bars but he didn't go off top and he didn't change the flow of his writtens to match the beat
@@DETay999 he killed the beat, listen carefully
@@treydavis5159 lyrics were good but flow was off for the beat due to it being a written from another song
@@DETay999 so for that he gets such reaction from flex?
@@DETay999 definitely matches the beat Dumbass
Forget flex, This man just became the best artist to ever hit his booth. This man Marlon is a fucking beast 😤 💪🏽
funk flex you a fool. Marlon spit more than those mainsream rappers out there for real 💯
He gave me a years worth of Instagram captions
Right? Rolodex... don’t need to go anywhere else
hahahhahahah i was thinking the same thing
im over here tryn think which ones i should take😂😂
@@problemchild8902 all of them 😂
Justin Munson no cap😂😂
Watch Flex's eyes. He's literally afraid of Craft.
"You been turning your paint brush for cashiers checks. That's why on the low you fear when someone reals next."
Yeah culture sick was 100% a well deserved shot at flex
FAX
Most rappers don't want anything to do with dude. White dude with too much knowledge, way more than Eminem
Flex so tight this whole video. Catching himself nodding then a second later stopping 🤣
one of the best radio freestyle i have ever heard my top 5 this guy
Flex you’re disrespectful as fk. You sat there like nothing was happening. One of the best free’s I’ve heard in a long time and yet not a single reaction...
Mike C. You must not be listening to much freestyles
Stg i was sayin the thing
Listen to Mysonne on Flex then listen to this again...Thats why Flex is confused like do stole everything from Mysonne period...Its embarrassing!
Shout to Sway and Heather B... they gave him props after his 5 Fingers of Death. Flex just brushed him off and wanted to ask probing questions about anxiety smh lol.
SC2point0 seriously. Flex’s attitude was straight trash. Like, why?
Daryl Amandes he always a vagina bro, that’s just flex
Sway from the bay. We rock differently over here. Not sure why flex hated on him. Not called for. Sway gave him props.
Flex was shook because in this day & age he knew that no other future guest would be able to top Craft’s performance, so it was all downhill from this point
For real though... I can't think of one of these I've seen since that comes close. Obviously this and everything else is 2nd to Thought's but you're right.
Best on the show ever. Flex, dont feel intimidated, just give him some love, he is the real deal, you are on the same team
Yeah....except Marlon is the "team captain" and Flex is the bitter 3rd string "old-school" veteran warming the bench for the benchwarmers and refuting inevitable change at every turn! Hey Flex....You can't fight the clock bruh.... BUT, You can be a humble pioneer of hip hop AND don't have to be a HATER of todays' talent! Respect to this young savage.... the dudes legit.
“I stand behind what i write but im never backwards...“Back Words”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Everyone commenting his weak bars lmfao
Jay Caballero so true lmao
@@F3arlessenterprise lmao exactly
“When the truth is in the room ... don’t you dare lie to me”🔥🔥
word is bond
Jean Matos weak lol
I come here everytime I'm about to go into a business meeting. Thanks, Marlon. You killed this.
Flex in his feelings...retrospectively analyzing his entire career n clout off one HK MC freestyle. GO MARLON!
Marlon super respectful from the beginning, very nice dude. Then almost burns the house down with his bars and Flex doesn't show him respect at all
He said dudes is shady like my “assumed” mentor 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Facts!!! You know how many people missed that... when really it's Black Thought "I think"
The Lean Ranger! I actually thought that was a mediocre line. He had way more harder ones in there
nmessai215 he did have way harder lines but I think it was clever in the sense he knows the first thing ppl are gonna think and he’s dispelling it from the jump. 💯
Crazy part is sounds nothing like Eminem! #Factz 👀😏😬 - JohnDIGG@
The Lean Ranger! Yeah iLL 🤒 LINE.🔥
Flex lives at the bottom of a trash bin. He can’t even see the sun. It’s hot out there and he can’t even feel it. ☀️ 🌞 Bless Craft keep him movin ~ ✈️
Craft killed it! 70 baby blessed you wit the so real culture pass...let's go fam
"Tryna balance MALICE while putting together CLIPSE for online, like I was PUSHing '09" - I'm sold on this dude.
yeah that was slick
Yeah mjita oa betsa
🔥
“coming up like nasir name backwards, i’m risan/rising” 🔥🔥🔥
Griffin Betts went over heads!!! 🔥🔥🔥
i to had rewind that a few times i aint gonna lie
Griffin Betts Once I heard that I was like ok 😳
This dude man... I'm telling you. Fire. I just can't even... Just fire. And real. Salute
@@aaura812 Yo!!!!
This is incredible by Marlon, hes super nervous about the set, shows up spits mega bars and then flex is "very nervous" by his bars throughout. after the set he has the cheek to only mention his anxiety as a mask to get away form the sheer talent as hes embarrassed to praise Marlon, ABSOLUTE disgrace, big up Marlon craft.
Can’t beleive I haven’t seen this yet lord have mercy this is complete murder
Who else has Flex quizzed like that before they spit? No one - and then that reaction at the end??? Whack.
J.i.D had him stumped too
i’ve watched this video several times and i still cant believe after all them bars and he asked about his anxiety 🤦🏽♂️man flex u trippin
I feel you- but also, Flex asked about anxiety because he felt anxious. He felt like he was being called out and when he tried to follow each line he realized he was too stupid to keep up. Furthering his anxiety. So he spent the whole cypher wondering if he was the guy who was about to compare Marlon to other white rappers. He spent the whole 10 min wondering if he was being punked.
@@mariosola1 Somewhat true, good catch. I also noticed that Flex was thinking the entire time. What was he thinking about so hard?
@@Alex_Justified Imma be honest, ive wathcing this dozens of times since and I dont know if I was right. I mean I think I was in part, but I was just mad cause Marlon looked like he was being disrespected. I almost wonder if there is more too this clip. like could flex have had to get to a commercial or something and then when they came back on he got back into talking about the cypher? idk, i feel bad for calling flex stupid hes clearly not at all and is a legend in his own right.
@@mariosola1 I kinda feel that Flex didn't want to give him credit, thus side stepping the conversation. He was amazed at his performance but I don't think he wanted to give credit for whatever reason.
@@Alex_Justified or flex has heard some of the best lyricists over the years and a written freestyle just seems aiight
Whats going on? I'm 73 white woman in Marin County and listening big time.... BLM ya, but talking it real reminds of Dylan way back when. Thanks for all of you delivering truth and valuing truth and putting truth first.
Marlon should be signed!! Wtf flex doing reacting like that not complimenting this mans art for 10mins… respect keep doing your thing young G
Flex was a straight punk yo!! At the end, Marlon says " I appreciate you" , Flex barely acknowledges it smh... Just lost mad respect for Flex. I hate to say it, but... If my man's skin was something different Flex woulda been acting a little different 💯. I ain't ever seen his demeanor like that yo!! Flex, GROW UP MAN!! Marlon got bars for days!!!!
Cause he ain't a big name, he did something similar to Mickey Factz, after killing it...... and the fact he white didn't help either. Flex don't appreciate Lyrics enough to run this series. Sway or AB from bars on I 95, would have went crazy over that freestyle
@@Dflame81 SWAY definitely would've appreciated this freestyle!
He did the same thing to nipsey too big bro. Flex is a big ol’ lame. Sway is the man.
Fucking dope. n I never liked flex fact's!
Yo this dude said like this mc ain't coming up like Nasir spelled backwards. This kid is dope someone sign this dude. Whole Flo is dope.
" I played Texas hold em with the chips on my shoulder" harder than hard
J D chips on my back*
No chips on my shoulder
J D That was my favorite 🔥
Lizard wizard?
@@RonaldMcGhee yeah wassup bro
HOLY FRICK, MARLON WENT OFF!!! Props to him, he deserves ever flower thrown his way.
my goodness.
White Thought.
impressive
If you close your eyes & just listen to his bars you can't deny Marlon Craft's just destroyed these beats!
With BARS like those, leave your eyes open. Shouldn't matter what you see.
Even if you don't close your eyes...he went crazy top 10 maybe 5
Killer line- “Turn Ls to W if you just adjust the angle.”
coolreem that bar was fucking hard!!!!
Bruh stole my fuckin bar.
Suuure bro lol. 🗑
Yep Fo Sho!!! that Line was fire!... L’s to w’s...thru the L’s up and gave it that twist HELLUVA
It’s only dope if see him do it if just heard it you wouldn’t think so
One of the best frees all time man
Been listening to rap for 30 years
This the best freestyle ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Keep it real people he touch every subject
Flex is racist af.. no props to manz for delivering easily one of the best freestyles of the year!
Trevor Reid 2 best flow after black thought
King los has the best freestyle of the year
@@dreamsmadereal815 jack harlow 5 fingers was better
it was alright. nothing special.
Oswin Benjamin on Sway was 12 minutes of madness. One of the best freestyles I ever heard, not just this year. But Craft killed it.
His last name is Craft and his initials are MC. He was defo born for this.
No cap
ruclips.net/video/5L6wyKPWzCE/видео.html&feature=share
Damn.
Marlon is his first name, but Craft isn’t his last name.
“Like this mc ain’t comin up like nasir name backwards, I’m Risan (rising)”😳😳😳Hardest bar
This dude killed it
