@@straightfacts5575Well no they def don’t all dress like metrosexuals 😂 that will help you get pushed if an entity is behind you with that stupid agenda but it’s like this shit another trend once this trend ends they become irrelevant.

Didn't have to recatch the beat once. No filler. The only freestyle I've had I rewind Several times just hear a line a couple times to figure out how deep the metaphor is. Crazy
@AhmedMohamed-hh9iv Niggas who don't believe the truth tend to believe all the lies they are fed is what he is saying. People who say "conspiracy theories" aren't real and they don't believe it are the same ones who believe all the lies the government tells them. They listen to people who don't care about them but listen to their own "Brother" and call him crazy.
It’s fax, look at the demographic of people who took the Jabs based on nothing but fear. Huge trend in who they vote for as well. Every month it becomes twice as clear too.
Is this a triple entendre?? "Look how they framed us in a box. Jada's kiss broke his Will, now she beggin Smith to change the Lox. Tryin to eavesdrop, when a woman wants to stray, there's nothing you can say to try to D-Block. Just cut her off, keep movin and weigh it later. Where I'm from, we had to learn to keep it player." 🔥🔥
Let’s play “rapping deconstructed”.. “Framed”= in a box [square] “Jada broke his will”= Fresh Prince humiliated himself front of world cuz Jada “broke his will”= broke non disclosure agreement Jadakiss= member of “The Lox” “Change the lox”= locks of hair (Jada’s alopecia) “When women stray”= Jada bashing August Alsina “Nothing you can say to try to D-Block”= Hancock propensity to allow wife to cheat “D-Block”= Jadakiss member of D-Block “Just cut her off, keep moving and weigh it later” - divorce her and move on “Keep it moving and weigh it later”- copping a sack expeditiously and weighing later”
@@ericgomez9216 Nice. Here's how I break it down. Triple entendre first interpretation: It's about the entanglement The LOX went through with Puff and Bad Boy and how he had them framed in a box wearing shiny suits and dancing. Jadakiss and the rest of the group wanted out of their ironclad contract (which Puff wasn't willing to do so easily) so they could sign with Ruff Ryders and eventually changed the name that Puff gave them (he shortened their original name from The Warlox to The LOX) to D-Block. If Puff had kept it player, cut them off and kept movin, he would've never invited such bad publicity and constant ridicule from them for jerking them off and not paying them or all the other artists on his label. See 🤣 🤣 skit "Jay Jerkin." Second interpretation: How Jada's entanglement with Alsina broke Will Smith's will. Even though he tried every which way to get her to not stray, there was nothing he could do to block her from getting that D. He should've cut her off from that instant he caught her and weigh his options with his lawyer, saved face and kept it player. His life would've been a lot better. He would've never been caught up at the Oscars like he did. Third interpretation: Was just a simple play on his own name Locksmith, mixed in with the entanglements. 😉 Pretty clever wordplay. 💯
I'd say Locksmith is probably in Sways top 3, Sways really put him on more than anyone🤷♂️. Lock is one of dudes that'll never have the numbers...but definitely a top tier MC for the real heads!
ruclips.net/video/TzkJ40ZonAo/видео.htmlsi=ubiQ_4pkRpvKoUm2 Ehh, id say he was more fascinated by the white boys going in and out while actually coming off the top. Not up here just spitting writtens. Black thought was much more prolific with the word play and thought provoking social analysis. This is good, don't get it twisted, but I'd rather hear Tsu Surf or Arsonal spit where you can actually hear the emotion and hunger in their voice. I think Mysonne's latest freestyle was more quote "conscientious".

Lock paints such a vivid picture with his art. Been following him for 10+ from battling to making records. Give this man his true flowers 💐 a true pioneer in the culture
Same bro do you remember the final Locksmith had with Reign Man now known as Rj Payne I think Locksmith got done dirty he won that in a lot of people's opinion most of the judged were from the East Coast yes a couple of the rounds were close but Reign Man won of course he's from Philly what more can I say someone from the West Coast isn't going to win in that situation
Why is this young brotha not fully funded? I have never heard a freestyle more real, factual, smart, truthful and full of cultural nuggets of honesty! Best Freebie I've ever heard!! This young man is the next IT!
Here's the prime example. Why is it they are constantly running a negative campaign usually filled with innuendos, rumors, negative stereotypes and conspiracies against everyone of the super rich and successful entertainers of ours that's making moves. If you don't believe me, look up any of the powerful ones. They have a video for every one of them, usually backed up by some washed up celebrity or other. See if they have any for theirs.The 🦀 in the 🪣 mentality is strong with us and we unwittingly play into their hand.
He makes me mentally tired, just too much truth, history and realness…it’s hard to digest, he’s one of the artists you have to replay multiple times to catch everything, keep on keepin on Lock!
Truth. I've been rewinding lines 3 and 4 times just to fully grasp how clever the metaphors are. Stupid bars, im so dead. This is the first time I've even heard of this dude. What an introduction!
How are we starting off 2024 with first Katt Williams, then Coast Contra, and now Locksmith. It's just January and the best stuff this year (or the next 10 years), has already dropped. 🔥
He also not about blowing industry executives or hoopin’ naked at puff’s guys-only slumber parties either…if I saw hov, diddy, or the flesh prince anywhere? My eyes would immediately identify the closest exits
@@timphalen9182For real. These guys getting exposed for who they really are. It amazes me how much shit they’ve done and what scary is that I am sure that’s just the top of the iceberg.
He's not mainstream because most people don't like these lame "spiritual lyrical miracle" type of flow. This is the type of music dudes with headphones and a backpack listen to on the subway while thinking they're on some mentally higher level than the people around them.
I promise you that I knew this man was one of the best in the mic for like at least 15 years! He doesn't have the 'greatest quotes like Locksmiths greatest rhymes and lines ' ... it's cuz all his lines are the greatest lines! Pick one! I've always put him in the same category as Vinny Paz, Black Thought, Dead Prez, KRS- One.. And GURU! ... teaching, explaining reality right in front of you so that it's relatable to you... facts upon facts upon facts! Masterful wordplay.. 👏 one of the baddest emceez on the planet! RESPECT 🙏 @iamlocksmith
No producer, no writer, no autotune, no gun bars. Lock makes it so obvious that the mainstream rappers are not the best rappers alive. He makes it so clear that we are being fed garbage.
That fact that it's more folks similar who can actually spit on dope beats also should have puzzled on why they can't get spins when they literally have better music than most artists on mainstream
This is probably the best freestyle of the 21st century. Normally, "the game is to be sold not told". But this man is a hip hop philanthropist and gave you niccas a million dollars worth of game for free.
This should be required listening for every kid in America who thinks these influencer rappers are worth following. This man has wisdom to share. Spread the word.
@Barren-MIND Lol, I feel you on that. This is definitely an elementary bar,especially when coming from Locksmith. I also think that's his drawback. His bars are so dense that most can't digest them.
@@ToniSmith-wj9uf I was a massive locksmith fan back during grind time, loved that he transitioned into music so seamlessly not too long after his debut, I say that to inform onlookers that I am familiar with this mans pen and am proud of his success. However as an honest and critical songwriter myself, what bothers me a lot about his writing is how crammed it is in some parts and how far some syllables and words are spaced out. Structurally almost sound, but the pseudo intellectually driven lines kind of ruin it for me in some instances. I think what music needs right now is something more intimate and heartfelt, not something thought provoking, unless of course it’s introspective or can be applied to the listener. His delivery is always on point though, dude has always rapped with conviction and has had semi unique cadences to pair it with.
Nah Sway! This the best ever period! My man went in for almost 11 mins straight! No mishaps and fumbles, all on topic, real shit and some dope bars. I mean I rap off the top too so I know how hard it is to remember 4 mins of stuff let alone 11 mins of greatness. Respect
The majority of population don't listen to music in depth.. They hear music with a catchy beat, some audio effects and surface level words and hop on it like the hottest thing out. They don't want real rap with messages. They want twerkin and guns.
Aye , yo ain’t no bigger platform than the clip that we looking at real than the red hat, I’m not talking maga but the righ time and ready hat in front of us,running fresh knowledge on the track that we reminisce. I’m loving free. Style but no other ever set me free… Damn sway built this shit now it turns to truth sorta like Sean strick if he was in the booth. Damn with this old track 24 is doing all this unseen truth that the masses never see at all .

“broke his will”= broke non disclosure agreement
Jadakiss= member of “The Lox”
“Change the lox”= locks of hair (Jada’s alopecia)

Some make sidewalks others build skyscrapers. This guy has the mind of an audible architect, perfect lines.
This might be the best freestyle I've personally heard

Goes to show you the true essence of Hip Hop can never be compromised.

Thats a slight twist on a long standing quote from alexander hamilton fam. Not hating just letting you know, it’s not that crazy lol
@@Barren-MIND Never said it was crazy or complex. I quoted the bar because I liked it. Simple
@@ToniSmith-wj9uf you’re right, that’s totally fair. When I heard it though, it brought me back to third grade and I cringed a bit lol
@Barren-MIND Lol, I feel you on that. This is definitely an elementary bar,especially when coming from Locksmith. I also think that's his drawback. His bars are so dense that most can't digest them.
@@ToniSmith-wj9uf I was a massive locksmith fan back during grind time, loved that he transitioned into music so seamlessly not too long after his debut, I say that to inform onlookers that I am familiar with this mans pen and am proud of his success. However as an honest and critical songwriter myself, what bothers me a lot about his writing is how crammed it is in some parts and how far some syllables and words are spaced out. Structurally almost sound, but the pseudo intellectually driven lines kind of ruin it for me in some instances. I think what music needs right now is something more intimate and heartfelt, not something thought provoking, unless of course it’s introspective or can be applied to the listener. His delivery is always on point though, dude has always rapped with conviction and has had semi unique cadences to pair it with.
"Each pen stroke is cardiac arrest"🧨
That was 🔥 asf
I shook my head when I heard that one, had to relisten that 5 times
Best appearance on sway.... EVER!! that Boy went in on em!!
Every time I listen to it I catch new bars. Straight fire!!
Nah Sway! This the best ever period! My man went in for almost 11 mins straight! No mishaps and fumbles, all on topic, real shit and some dope bars. I mean I rap off the top too so I know how hard it is to remember 4 mins of stuff let alone 11 mins of greatness. Respect
There is so many bars and lines I can’t pick just one. My only question is how is this not everywhere? So powerful. Share share share 🗣️
The majority of population don't listen to music in depth.. They hear music with a catchy beat, some audio effects and surface level words and hop on it like the hottest thing out. They don't want real rap with messages. They want twerkin and guns.
This is my first exposure to locksmith.,...bruh killed it. Bout to stalk your discography
A moment of silence for those listening to LS for the first time, and mostly those who don't know him.
Fan from Zambia 🇿🇲🙏😊
Damn!!! Thats the type of HipHop I've been missing for a long time!!!!!
Got emmmmmm❤!
"I rap to unlock the truth not a prostitute for attention" 🙆♂️
And his name is Locksmith he unlocks DAMN!! 🔥🔥
My brain stopped working after this to much to take😂😂😂😂
This was crazy! Pure bars!!
This man needs a bigger platform!
Aye , yo ain’t no bigger platform than the clip that we looking at real than the red hat, I’m not talking maga but the righ time and ready hat in front of us,running fresh knowledge on the track that we reminisce. I’m loving free. Style but no other ever set me free…
Damn sway built this shit now it turns to truth sorta like Sean strick if he was in the booth. Damn with this old track 24 is doing all this unseen truth that the masses never see at all .
This man's been doing this for years
Look up team backpack and this man
He speaks out against the people that would let him get a big platform so unfortunately not gonna happen
Half a million views is not enough! This guy just made history.
When a Emcee spits something that he feels in his heart... theres nothing like it. This aint 'Rap' ... this is HIP HOP!
💯 Straight up
