Eminem - 1997 Freestyle Live!! (w/ Lyrics)

This freestyle was held with the Outsidaz at Wetlands NYC, in 1997. This year, Em got into Scribble Jam and Rap Olympics (which he finished 2nd at both of the events). And also being discovered by Jimmy Iovine's agent.
The rest is history.
I do not own the rights to this video, I just took the video and put the lyrics on screen.

[@GinoOrthoBro]

Apparently, this is the show where Fat Joe and Big Pun were in attendance and were blown away by Eminem. I wish there was a remastered edition of this, because you couldn’t have picked a better beat for Em’. I used to go hunting for old Eminem freestyles pre-1999 and never heard this before. Thanks for the upload.

[@The_brokest_rapper_you_know]

Oh weird..the 2nd verse is from the song Desperados with D12

[@bigrubberduckinside]

[@don-fx3eq]

It's his verse from desperados

[@mrlildylchillin]

This is unbelievably fire. On the second beat the crowd had to subdue their cheers because they didn't wanna miss the next bar. But after they heard "slim shady sticker on your mothers bumper" theu couldn't hold back and rightfully so 🔥

[@mrcooljay7276]

This is unreal. He's just too good

[@MrKush313.]

They ain't on the same level as you Em‼️‼️‼️🗣🗣🗣

[@mrcarter6362]

I remember hearing this as a kid as an audio rip from Napster. What a trip seeing the original video. Hearing lines like “99% of aliens prefer earth, so I’m here to rule the planet and I’m starting with your turf” Brings me back to shop class, hearing “my name is” on a discman. F me he was ahead of his time. 🔥 🙏 Proud super fan all grown up!!

[@user-cj4xm2tw2z]

Yea ive net wordworth before and reminded him about that and till this day he recalls the verse with his shoutout by Eminem.

[@groovemcfunk361]

Why can't I find more lyricist lounge shows. They're so good

[@GregoryPLoomis]

A lot of Em’s freestyles were written but he was always prepared. If he landed on a rhyme by accident like “home” He could say “off the dome With a popular poem” I’ve heard him do that a lot…and he could jump right in from there and just continue with something he’d already have up his sleeve. Not saying he couldn’t freestyle but it seems like he had multiple words that when he was going off the dome for real, he could segue right into his written freestyles. At this point in his life he’s doing whatever it took…and it worked.

[@user-cj4xm2tw2z]

Was messed up about that verse is that he messed up and freestyled the rest right after this bar. I’ve met Wordsworth before and opened it up with that first bar about him. He used to do the lyricist lounge as well before. Is actually planet instead of world on the recorded version on a radio show I think. That’s when he slipped.

[@superdopehiphop]

Pretty sure this was early 1998 or August 1998 right before he went to Stretch & Bobbitto although it could be 1997 with Outsidaz too I guess. You know the date or have a flyer? Pure🔥. 96/97-03 Em was so ill especially this here at his rawest.
