I dont give a dam whether he had a blackberry or not, he coulda went in that bitch with a stone tablet for all I care. He killed that shit.
Joel is the Truth……
On another note,
That’s how much Enuff know about Hip-Hop.. He didn’t even recognize the Clipse- Big Deal beat. SMH. And what the hell he wiping down?
Enuff probably thinks he’s still working at Taco Bell.
joel is the new king of nyc. went to see him at sobs last night. nigga killed it but his set was too short.
It is a good written, but why can’t he just call it a written verse? I don’t get why rappers have to call everything freestyles when they aren’t. It’s like rappers are ashamed to say they write. Doesn’t make sense to me
Ayo, idiot. A freestyle is a written that hasn’t been recorded, it’s just ‘in the air’. An off the top freestyle is what you’re thinking of.
Drake, is that you?
It’s me, your BB$ Blackberry phone. I demand co-songwriter credits and points.
That is all.
BB$. Work. Play.
I don’t know why people go crazy over niggas using blackberrys. Even Nas used one in a video to rap with, who cares.
freestyles are verses without concepts… free flowing.. some people write em down some heads can freestyle off the dome…
some cats rock concept joints right off the dome…
Lmao at technology….soon you can just randomly generate your freestyles.
Here’s a paper about a “rap lyrics generator” based on lyrical analysis from OHHLA:
http://nlp.stanford.edu/courses/cs224n/2009/fp/5.pdf
What, did y’all look the definition of freestyle on fuckin wikepeida? Who told y’all that shit? A freestlye is off the top of the dome period, end of story! Just cuz every rapper now writes his verses and calles it a freestyle, doesn’t mean that it is. Y’all muthafuckas is either 15 or y’all from montana or sum shit, maybe both….back in the day it was a freestyle. Where’d y’all get these definitions from? And who wrote em? Freestyle dnt got nuthin to do with concepts or not. Its just rappin of the top, wether u have a concept or not. Nggz talkin bout “that’s an off the top frestyle” ngga shut the fuck up with that dumb shit! That’s what nggz would say to let nggz know it was off the top cuz so many muthafuckas would write they’re “freestyles” down. Man check nggz like supernatural if u want real freestylin…..joel killed it, but ngga ain’t gunna bash drake but give joel a pass cuz his verse was tight. I think it went hard, but u a hyprocrite if u was hatin on drake for doin it but givin this ngga a pass. And for the record, joel is a million times better than drake!
Talkin bout a freestyle is “a written that hasn’t been recorded yet, its just in the air” roffle!!!!!!stfu!!!!!!

what he said.
a freestyle could be written… if every rapper calls a free verse a freestyle then yes it might as well be. doesnt matter what you wannabe experts think…. if you sum up the majority of things people call out as freestyle, it’s usually a written verse… its rare to hear people spit shit off the head… and when they do it usually sucks.
i hate when people get all defensive and want to make an arguement about a verse being called a freestyle when it isn’t off the top… nigga just hear the shit and shut the fuck up trying to act like it means something so to give your definition of freestyle.
Acually, the other comments had to defend it b’in a freestyle when it obviously wasn’t. I dnt care if a muthafucka dnt freestlye off the top of they’re head for the rest of they muthafuckin life, it ain’t freestylin. So if everbody starts doin the solja boy dance and start callin it breakdancin we just gunna call it that…..no ngga! And freestyle never had to do with a verse b’in free dumbass. When djs put out cds with “freestyle” on em, they still gotta pay the rapper so that logic is irelevant. Its nggz who write that make nggz who spit off the top look bad cuz its writtin down but them same nggz would sound worse if they ever tried to spit off the head. That’s why mainstream rappers dnt do it and that’s how it started cuz they didn’t wanna look bad on tv or on radio shows if they sucked freestylin cuz they knew they were gunna b asked to rap(rap city,hot97,direct effect,ect). but if u look @ the bet joint u notice that krs and buckshot did off the top, didn’t matter if it was the best or not, they wanted to show everybody that that was what freestylin really is and krs still had one of the better performances( def can’t say the same for buckshot) he coulda wrote some shit down, but he didn’t cuz he was makin a point about freestylin. Plus, even if it dnt sound as good as the writtin shit, it still gets shown more love cuz its a true freestyle…
hey ziggy u dumb ass he never said it was a freestyle its who ever posted the video
[…] Props: RapRadar […]
its the fact that he doesnt have respect enuff for the game to at loeast remember the verse
now somebody tell me what is the difference between this and an actor reading off a script
I mean would we go see a play or movie if a nigga or female had the paper right in they fuccing hand
like Imagine if Will Smith or Don Cheadle had the script in they hand in Hotel Rwanda or Pursuit Of Happyness it fuccs up the vibe it feel like the whole shit is industrialized that you cant even remember ya rhymes you wrote I can understand if a nigga wrote out over a beat over a tracc becuz they are creating but the shit him and Drake are doing is real lazy like my Nigga if that verse is that hot it shouldve been stucc in his head rather than only rapped by your blaccberry
imagine if his phone was dying or imagine if he got a call rite in the middle of that shit it wouldve really fucced up the vibe
I mean what kinda shit is it when we criticize Nicki Minaj for have a prewritten cypher which doesnt have to be written and we say its cool he imimitating a freestyle
there should be a disclaimer before you do that shit like “Yo Im reading this off My Blaccberry” just how they say Dont do whats seen in this episode of Jaccass or all the celebrity voices are not the actual voice of the celebrities thats all we saying
he made an illusion that shit was off the top of his head which alot of people who were listening to this shit on the radio thought probably was
like I said this like Wayne Brady holding a Cue Card or something
and Drakes gets a pass becuz its like look what this guy raps about it wouldnt be a surprise that this guy had a prerecorded verse that he just plays over his phone over the beat
Joell is a nigga who says hes not commercial and industry cant never turn him into Pop Oriented I mean a Nigga Like Joell who criticizes all this mainstream shit you wouldnt even think dude was on some blaccberry shit I mean this guy criticizes e-thugs and computer geeks yet he has a Twitter and he reading raps off his blaccberry Nigga sound like a mad hypocrit to me
@pee
DJ Enuff:”Great Freestyle”
Joell Ortiz: “I got something Fresh for Yall”
its implied that it is by his words
its good becuz you must be one of them niggas that read the tiny shit they put on the coupons that rip people off before you read the big letter shit that make it seem like you got a deal but this is radio other than this youtube posting there is no notification if a nigga say he bout to spit something fresh then you thinking he just came up with that shit on the spot not a couple of days ago
“a Freestyle doesnt have to be off the top”
“You dont have to rhyme to rap”
some of you guys sound like idots with statements like those
a freestyle is always off the top of the head its guys Like Kid Cudi Ludacris Charles Hamilton and Snoop who be saying bullshit but they comning off the top of the head now just becuz alot of rappers dont do it dont mean that it doesnt have to be done
thats like the NBA when a couple of players can do a 360 and some announcers give some of them 360’s label eventho they 180’s
theres a shop in Detroit where they pull props out of a trunk at random and the rappers have to rap about that shit on spot they are freestyling
when its label a freestyle and there is no blaccberry its a toss up becuz there is no proof but the fact that niggas is reading off a blaccberry it is confirming its not a freestyle
I mean 2010 is not the year for hiphop we losing Niggas like Mr.Magic and we got Niggas like Waka Flocka Flame saying lyrical rappers are broke and you got Fans saying you dont have to rhyme to be considered a rap I heard it all but for a nigga to say you dont have a rhyming pattern to rap(Rapradar New Music The Game-“Shake” Post) for a nigga to say that he has that rappers dicc so far up they ass that they are blinded by the cemen stucc in their eyelids real shit
In a year or two all a nigga goign to have to is wear designer clothes over a hot beat playing in the bacc of they video with a 80’s sample as the hook
So if everbody starts doin the solja boy dance and start callin it breakdancin we just gunna call it that…..no ngga!
^ yes people would. if enough people call something by a term… guess what? it can be referred to as that term.
