Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Childish Gambino – The Backroom (Freestyle)
Posted by J_Salzer on June 9, 2012
Everybody’s favorite(and only) acting, producing, screenwriting, rapper stops by the BET Backroom to drop a great freestyle. After watching the 15 second ad for some strange new show featuring Cedric the Entertainer, I was understandably in a pretty pissy mood. But after hearing this, and seeing Gambino’s sweatshirt, I was immediately put in a better mood. He murders some random BET beat with a few random DJ scratches in cold blood.
Also, Kendrick stopped by The Backroom to annihilate a funeral like beat with a quickly spit 64 bars. At some point, you have to start questioning how much of this is ACTUALLY freestyled, but anyway, check out Kendrick’s freestyle here, and Donald’s above.

Vizzy drops off this little freestyle to show his pride in his city. Coming from the state of Kansas as a rapper must be hard, so it’s nice to see Vizzy showing love to his roots. I love when artists take pride in their city, Macklemore, Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa, and many others have released songs dedicated to their cities. This is supposedly a freestyle, but in todays game, I feel like the word “freestyle” is thrown around pretty loosely. Sound off in the comments or get at me in the chat box(@J_Salzer) with your thoughts on the topic of freestyling and it’s place in music. No download yet, but be on the lookout for this posting being updates soon with the DL link. Downloads were enables as I was writing this post. That’s a good look.

“Gucci mittens help. Chain looks like O’rion’s belt. Pull up in the chariot with a glow-in-the-dark Bart Simpson haircut. When my day begins, flawless women friends with tactical airbrushed golden skin.“
Going hard on a soft canvas, rap game’s herman cain takes the viewer back in time to a post apocalyptic world, where credit cards are useless and the topography of the desert reigns supreme. Surrounded by two women, Riff Raff spits a verse as conceptual as it is “genuise”, once again claiming his spot as the world’s most interesting rapper. Be on the look out for an upcoming Riff Raff x Chief Keef collaboration. RAP GAME DAWSON’S CREEK. RAP GAME JUMPING OUT OF HOLES. RAP GAME DISTRICT 9.
Interviews | Nardwuar vs. Young Jeezy

“Especially not in the pool. The only thing I ref in the pool is the women.”
Says Young Jeezy, regarding his swimming abilities. I’m not surprised, as Young Jeezy is likely too busy selling drugs to learn how to swim. That Young Jeezy sure has a captivating personality, as Nardwuar pulls out the usual stops to talk about things that happened ten years ago. No wonder why Jeezy’s “TM103” flopped. Just another rapper taking themselves way too seriously. Kanye shrug. Below are my favorite comments:

Based God, we are not worthy of your infinite wisdom and guidance. Oh Based Lord, lead us not into temptation but into eternal life. We are unworthy of your swag. Show us the light. We are living in darkness! Lead us! Blessed based redeemer shower us with swag for we know not what we do. Show us the righteous path. We are foul ignorant despicable creatures that need your based guidance. We want to live according to your rare word. In your blessed based name we pray, ahmen.
Hip-Hop | Earl Sweatshirt – Home

I know what you’re thinking. “AM I READING THIS RIGHT?!?!? IS THAT EARL SWEATSHIRT?!?! I THOUGHT HE WAS GONE!” Guess what he’s back…or at least I hope so and this isn’t some awful practical joke. So as I was going through my twitter, I stumbled upon a retweet by OF member Frank Ocean and “Earl”(really hate to use the quotes, but I’m just being safe ’till its confirmed) said that he’d release a new song at 50K followers. Well since he’s been hyped up by Tyler, as the best rapper ever, it took like an hour at most…feel free to follow me, but seriously this is tight. We finally have some material that isn’t from his previous mixtape, Earl. I’m still in shock about this but whatever, it’s Earl and it’s free, so not much to complain about.
