[@naldosrecords]

I think thats what all the best do, they draw you in with just that conversational tone. Jay z has since learnt that. I feel eminem had it before he got too obsessed with rhyme schemes. Cole is improving in it too..nipsey on victory lap. Its like they are comfortable in taking the relaxed approach and they pick words that let you follow along but they still say slick things that differentiate themselves.

[@Tone7580]

This wasn't a battle, this is called a freestyle cypher. Back when MC's really flowed off the top

[@Wh4L205]

I don’t know why everyone always called this a battle

[@kingkoopa2334]

Lol you really think that was off top...

[@josephbryant1082]

This is why J always made sure a X album never came came out close to one of his they vibed here and he started thinking this man dangerous

[@LightskinMeezy]

Off the top and freestyle are different. Freestyle has written rhymes included, off the top is off the top.

[@MusicByDreDubz]

Wasn't of the top but yeah, this cypher was dope😊
