Sidebar: Need a beat with this? Statik Selektah comes through
Good finndd!
Eminem’s album and freestyle on Westwood > Drake’s
agree but drake seems like he improved on that off the top shit…but u never kno, coulda been some writtens thrown in there
C’MON SON..REALLY??
Man when it’s all said and done drake gonna be the best ever…he can rap and sing he is a triple threat!!
haha he forgot his lyrics
that was weak drake. step yo game up
drake is over rated man. used up all his best materials on mixtapes.
@Toronto thug: Groupie
sure not freestyle very ova rated
lol @ Toronto thug
dumb ass nigga said “he can rap and sing he is a triple threat!!” smh
this is kinda a wack freestyle anyway; glad he left the blackberry alone, but i dont think Ive ever heard someone choke that many times in a freestyle “….um…. and then I say….”
Yo that shyt was still written u can tell, nigga forgettin the words and shit…and the nigga above said he can “rap and sing” he’s a triple threat? Nigga can u count, but maybe u forgot act. But all i seen that nigga in was Degrassi, and its not hard to act like the loser u already are. This nigga is soooo overrated man, and this aint hating just my opinion..so many niggas out here grinding would rip a tim westwood freestyle or funk master flex freestyle (without a blackberry) this nigga is a great WRITER that is all…
@ toronto threat
that would be a double threat maybe? lol
How will he be one of the best, hes a trend, a fad, a gimmick, lil waynes time is winding down and his crew will obviously go down with him.
Look at g unit they ran shit and now nobody checks for them, no one from bad boy is around anymore, besides snoop and dre deathrow isnt around, no limit poof gone, dmx gone, so how can you say a gimmick rapper with that fuckin pause than one word punchline flow the greatest ever?
I know i said a lot, but i meant to say just climb the cn tower in toronto and jump off b
he fucked up for a minute there. but w/e he don’t make his millions freestylin’ he seels albums and mixtapes! so jump off!
at least he tried a lot of these artists don’t even attempt it.
Oh yeah @Toronto Thug there are no thugs in toronto…and it aint no real thugs on the internet
his a writer not a freestyler doesnt mean he cant be the best rapper he just cant be the best freestyler
Best Rapper Alive
You guys act like being a writer means your a horrible rapper. You realize that people like Nas writes also.
Yall are funny to because yall fault drake for singin, yet ppl like andre 3000 get praised even though he sings all the time. Yall remember a lil corny song called “hey ya”??? …yeah i thought so
all he good at is writing..singing..and shittin on ppl from his past…he’s like an ugly ll cool j wit no muscles, who sings. strictly for the ladies. Of course if u were ugly all your life, everything u do and write would be for the ladies too …*shrug*
@ Toronto thug….first I didn’t know there were thugs in Toronto….but I do know the schools aren’t very good cuz they didn’t teach y’all how to count or how to remember shit
man if your hating on this your dumb..im a Drake hater myself ill admit but this shit is SAUCY
@thebullfrog24 Dont eva mention Andre 3000 nigga! Hey Ya made that shit go Diamond nigga. DIAMOND! What rapper u kno going diamond!! That platium 10 times nigga, 10 million! Only group to ever do that! He’s a legend! Listen to the end of Love Below the last track…a real freestyle nigga! June 15th aint came yet, this nigga aint sold an album yet…nobody saying he cant write, just give up all that bravado in your wack ass freestyles..Stop riding this nigga dick
SOUNDS LIKE HE READING A CHRISTMAS STORY TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN LOL thsi dude is sooo fucking cornyyy
Yea man, lookin’ at the footage, Drizzy killed that shit, and i agree, not alot of kats out here can do what he do mann. He takes time in every bar and u can hear that in every song and verse. Y’all just want to see him fail and that’s just sad on ur part, dude came far, give him his props and wish him success…..I like Eminem but Em was in Drake’s position before and alot of u kats can remember when Em was takin’ all the heat and hate. Does anyone recall 8 Mile where Em choked on the mic, we all start somewhere, please chill on the hate
I’m from toronto.. what kinda dumbass names themselves toronto thug and then makes that stupid statement… do thirteen year olds fuck with this site now??
The reason I can’t stand how they try to pass some invisible torch to Drake: He uses the same flows,talks about the same things(over&over),isn’t versatile at all with his songs(money,girls,heartbreak,love,money) AND his bars aren’t even that great(not NEARLY good enough to be put on the pedestal he is)
Drake can’t think of ANY sort of concepts besides recycling them all over again in different ways?!?Fukk outta here,I’m sick of this shyt.At least J. Cole’s gaining some commercial hype as well so hopefully he’s successful enough to get this cornball off the planet.Even tho we all know Wayne & Drake’s Jewish pals in the places that ‘count’ won’t let that happen.SMFH.The reason he’s successful: He’s jewish,looks white,can sing and already was on a kiddy show as a teenager….aka he Was hand-crafted for the Pop world by nature,but this Rap world is definitely NOT his(at least by real fans’ perspective).Maybe if he woulda shut up his doubters with a great album….but NOPE,filled with features and radio-ready singles instead of crafting a great body of work.Even Hip-Hop DX just gave the shyt a 2.5/5.Haha.Get over yourself Drake and at least prove your worth
lol alright so i finally listened to this, and i aint gonna lie it was pretty dope
BUT
its so funny that even when drake is at his dopest he is still corny as hell
i say uh i say uh uh this is where i say… hold up this comin off the top lol
ALSO
i dont know what he was tryin to say with that hollywood cole line but i dare drake to start some shit with j cole, that would be too great, cuz i dont care what anyone says that 3rd verse on who dat was shots at drake and cole murdered him
@ wikkity
co-sign everything you said
So let me get this straight.
Drake’s freestyle sucks because Eminem’s was better. Eminem. The fucking freestyle king. Any rapper’s freestyle’s sucks compared to Em’s. Shit, I don’t even like Em and I believe he’s the best freestyler in the game by far.
Also, this one is rich: criticizing him for forgetting lyrics. After he brings a blackberry and reads off lyrics for one “freestyle” and gets hate for it, he gets hate for sounding like he prepared everything in writing beforehand. Yeah, that makes total fucking sense.
Alot of rappers are not good freestylers. Give the kid a break. He’s not an album deep and people criticize him like he’s supposed to be the fucking messiah. He’s dope at what he does and actually does it well. Of course he’s not the best, so what’s the use criticizing him as if he should be.
It’s a pretty good freestyle for someone who doesn’t freestyle much.
@ ShootDontPlease
Thanx, wish mainstream media did.Haha.But I understand how the ‘power’s that be’ work things so when they say something’s a go it’s a GO.He’ll be around for a while whether we like it or not..I see him being a revamped Jewish-Ja Rule
I could drive down the street and pick up a bum that can freestyle better than this jew.
@Felipe
People “criticize him like he’s suppose to be the fucking messiah” because that’s what all these media outlets are trying to TELL and BRAINWASH people with.It’s like the fukkin government or sumethin tryna tell us Columbus found America and shyt…WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU!!Haha.We know the damn truth..why not speak on it?At least he has the chance to show and prove but he hardly ever does,he’s always sub-par.If I was him I’d make sure I show my worth to let people know I deserve my damn spot
Y’all actin’ like its Drake’s fault he is where he is. Drake never said he was the next anything, never said he was the greatest, that was the blogs, the fans, the magazines. Stop blaming Drake like it’s his fault he’s hot. That is the machine that is pushing him,, NOT HIM. Y’all honestly think its Drake’s fault because he’s hot, yu sound stupid
F all y’all ….I feel like I’m a thug and I rep Toronto so what……and like I said drake is a double threat rap, sing, act…..and y’all say he has one flow??? He raps and sings which are two different flows last time I checked…..y’all gone really hate him when he start acting again he could could be superman or batman or some other super hero movie the didn’t make yet
@toronto thug ure the dumbest fool alive
**Blank stare**
@Rickk
“Y’all actin’ like its Drake’s fault he is where he is. Drake never said he was the next anything, never said he was the greatest, that was the blogs, the fans, the magazines.”
Last name ever, first name greatest – the first line off of drakes most popular song… smh
@Toronto thug
singing is not a flow… its singing… assisted by autotune
and lol at you thinkin your a thug, and thinkin drake could be superman… smh at your life
j.cole raps about being a little nigga from the vill in every song.. so.. lets not talk about recycling…
that being said.. drake. j.cole. and em hands down will have the best albums this year (excluding kanye, and possibly detox)
all three of those guys go hard in their own lane, which is different than each others..
People.. stop hating.. just appreciate what these guys are doing for hip-hop and what your not doing.
fuckin up your lyrics ain’t professional B. This clip reminds me of the Justin Beiber Time Westwood post when that lil guy was “freestyling”. Beiber freestyle > Drake’s haha.
Yo if I hate Drake does that make me a hater? I mean good luck to him, get your money but everything about you seems fucking corny to me. Like I don’t feel like his personality is authentic, it seems forced. I can’t get down with dude.
@ Your a Hater..Be Honest
So Cole biggin up his City in a bunch of his songs is considered recycling now?NOT!….Cole is very clever with coming up with different concepts and song material on a LOT of his tracks….he’s capable of tellin stories, uplifting tracks and etc. etc.
@Rickk
“Last name Ever..First name Greatest”….nuff’ said….he put the pressure on himself and then can’t even back his own corny-ass saying up.So he deserves to be criticized for being sub-par and singing all day instead of proving himself to be the ‘great’ rapper he thinks he is
@Broke Iz A Disease
Completely agree wit ya last two sentences.Drake’s whole lil image doesn’t seem to be him and I’m not buyin it…but oh yeah he is an Actor huh?Exactly!!
@your a hater
“j.cole raps about being a little nigga from the vill in every song”
no, thats called shouting out your hometown, which btw drake never does from what ive heard
listen to the warm up almost every song is a story or about some incredibly real shit, drake couldnt dream of writing a song like i get up, world is empty, welcome, can i live, the badness etc etc
^ Cus Drake dnt wanna do Cole, he wanna do him, so let him eat, JCole seems to be doing fine from what i see, what are all y’all madd for, wat do y’all want from dude, to flop, disappear, die, stop rapping, wat do y’all want???
i aint talkin about drake doin cole im just comparing talents
“wat do y’all want from dude, to flop, disappear, die, stop rapping,”
i wouldnt mind 3 of the 4
Lmao @ toronto thug
you got a while post shittin on you lol first you say triple threat and name 2 things than you name 3 things and say double threat, damn son read a book or something oh ya and than kill yourself
@ShootDontPlease
i aint talkin about drake doin cole im just comparing talents
“wat do y’all want from dude, to flop, disappear, die, stop rapping,”
i wouldnt mind 3 of the 4
Seems like we agreein on and sayin the same shyt in here.Haha.And I must admit I wouldn’t mind two out of those 4 either….A flop, followed by acknowledging himself as an R&B Singer/Rapper instead of a straight-up Rapper would be nice
The boy did his thing, he was pretty dope. People must put into perspective that he is a human being and he fucks up sometimes.
The only thing outright wrong with this freestyle was that he did one so close to when eminem did one at the same place. Like someone said, em is the freestyle king. Snoop, mos def, and krs-one are among the very few who can compare off the top. Drake is nowhere near that level at this point. Give dude a break.
That said I thought his album sucked and he’s not that great a rapper. But ya know, you all are hating for all the wrong reasons.
Eminem has been around for years, u can’t even compare the two, honestly. I like Em, Cole, alot of ppl out. I just wanna see everybody win, have fun and do their thing. Thats where im’ coming from. I was a big Em fan and when i saw that movie of him choking on the mic, i thought to myself, damn. Everybody’s gotta start somewhere
I love getting reactions..
Some people just hate on everything. They are so narrow minded..
People..people just open your ears and actually listen to what they rap about. decypher it.. understand that MORE THAN 1 RAPPER CAN BE GOOD.. and both j.cole and drake have show that with their respective ways of going about it…
if it doesn’t appeal to you.. thats to bad.. “cause either way you put it bitch i made it…” -drake
Why wont he battle a real nigga, instead of calling out Lil Kim…even Lil Kim would eat this dude
@Rickk
Good point and I don’t mind everyone succeeding either…I just take offense when the media outlets and shyt try to brain-feed us this guy like he’s something so incredibly special, then he buys into it himself and portrays the same image.THAT…I don’t like.I’d rather just see someone gradually EARN the respect and love from others instead of ‘other’ things push him on to the forefront due to affiliation
“I’d rather just see someone gradually EARN the respect and love from others instead of ‘other’ things push him on to the forefront due to affiliation”
Prior to So Far Gone… Drake put out 2 Mixtapes and a failed single with Trey Songz that BET had on the air for a week before throwing it in the trash.. then So Far Gone.. he earns Jay Z’s respect. Kanye’s, Bun B’s, Lil Waynes.. now.. he’s an icon..
stop hating on things you will never have.
@your a hater.. be honest
youre a dick rider.. be honest
i dont care if you like drake thats cool but so many ppl overrate him and thats when it starts getting annoying, same thing with wayne
you calling drake an icon when he has accomplished nothing is a prime example of that
I’m not a dick rider haha.
I don’t even like drakes album? I’m simply stating the truth? I’m an avid hip-hop fan.. I never said drake was the greatest rapper alive? or he’s gonna sell a millie?
I’m simply stating what Half the world thinks.
soo.. in response..
you’re an idiot…be honest
research your fact before you come on here spitting some dumb shit. It’s alright you can think what you want about drake or any rapper. its you’re own opinion.. but the stats show very clear what drake has accomplished and thats what I posted. not an opinions.. FACTS dumbass
lol ok, i guess im a dumbass then, please inform me on what drake has accomplished so i can become as enlightened as you…
Spittin’ that Degrassi fire!
i gotta add my 2cents…..that freestyle was courney, it would have been better if he had a memorize verse or his blackberry….GET HIM OUTTAHEREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BESIDES IT TOOK 4:00 MINUTES TO SPIT THAT UH WAIT, IT GOES LIKE DIS CRAP….LMAO AT DRAKE………GET HIM OUTTAHEREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where to start.. nominated for many awards (including 2 grammys) off a mixtape. dozens of album covers
been cosigned by nearly every rapper in the game..and is recognized as the next big thing
brought a new dimension to the game that everyone has acknowledged..
thats just a few.. get at me on the 15th.. I’m not saying a millie. but many albums will be sold.. which will be huge for a debut album and in this day and age selling a millie is redic.. wayne was redic. eminem’s recovery will be firrrrrrrre and i think that may sell a millie
but again. don’t hate is all im accepting. just realize the guy is making good music for HIS fans.
daaaaaaaaam son mad sad right now………… i was really fellin this nigga even tho my boys was hating but i guess they r right this niggas freestyles suck not cus the content is wak but cus hes not from the top n forgets his shit………… hope u get bak on ur gangsta shit drake like fear
he did ite.. u can totally tell it was written though. Nothing special.. he did have a few good punch lines then he forgot his shit n fucked it up.
ANYBODY who thinks that anything but those last 4 bars were off the top is IGNORANT.
Decent written i guess (at best) but u can’t be forgetting ur lines especially acapella.
I don’t think he was even trying to make ya’ll think it was freestyle til he actually made up an ending off the top… which is more of a diss to ya’ll that got fooled than to Drake.
The past couple days i revisited some of his classic mixtape tracks, dang that man is talented. But on the real, his album is soooo disappointing. and it’s NOT because of the singing either.
Don’t really feel dude but triple threat, rap, write n sing
drake i hope u realize dat ur lyrics r wack keep freestyling like dat and u about to get smacked, just cuz u ride with wayne dont mean youll get to reign, u homos making it rain ill come and hit u on the side of your brain, nikki in da car dat bitch giving me brain, once she done ill throw dat ho out the range, everybody knows u tryng to be like jay, but since degrassi every one knows dat u gay, u remind me of game a lil bit of fame and u got sick on the brain.
ha ha enough said.
^you played yurself
@ Young Reezy, yea defintely played ur self, dude dissing somebody via BLOG, like Drake gon’ read it LMAO ROTF #fail
My point was that his freestyle sucked and dat anybody could come up with hotter shit ya dig????? Still had u niggas reading
disney channel freestyle
Man u lot need to get off his johnson and just appreciate what the lad has going on around him. When was the last time rap/ hiphop was portrayed in a positive light on main street!! He aint shoot no body so why hate, ya’ll need to realise the games evolved and guys like him are at the forefront so GIVE HIM ROOM. You know what they say ‘ you know you doing something right when the haters appear’. Like fat joe sez jeolous ones still envy!!
Gary,manchester UK
did anybody else smell that subliminal diss in the first line “who else wanna fuck wit hollywood cole” drake youre making a big mistake here I mean we all know you could take on lil kim but J. cole is really raw and if you beef with him hell lyrically expose you and youll raise his buzz to all times high so just slow youre roll with that shit
