[@iamlocksmith]

S/o to all the incredible emcees in this cypher! Thanks so much to my bro Sway and the legendary Pete Rock. Thanks so much to all you guys for the luv.

[@StephenMykal]

iamlocksmith Yeah this was fly, you're very gifted.

[@MrTreypac]

iamlocksmith So feared in the rapgame they don't wanna help him.

[@jamesmashiyane6495]

+iamlocksmith just know that we also listen to you over here in South Africa, you are the best man.

[@omnijorgo]

+MrTreypac i wouldnt say feared more like pickin on him. yes he started off with a scripted rap but hes got freestyling bars. if the vibe wasnt so awkward he woulda blown up this cypher

[@naloh]

+Eric Chung locksmith doesn't write.

[@Deepz416]

The face Theodore Grams made at 14:35 when locksmith said "African American studies", was PRICELESS

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

lmaooooo "oh shit" hahaha

[@iRainFromDTown]

Never really messed with Locksmith before this and I can honestly say I've been sleeping! That man just spit the truth!

[@TheGreatLaroogs09]

+iRainFromDTown man You been missing out.. He is the truth and never really gets play..he did back in the early 2000s especially here in the Bay Area of California but not really anywhere else.. he graduated from UC Berkeley and been in the rap game for a while straight up from Richmond Cali.. he's stupid RAW.listen to his music

[@BombXXplosive]

"George Bush coloured jeans, yeah they dirty and white" hahahaha

[@falltxn7412]

i dont get it..m

[@BombXXplosive]

FallTxN means how the jeans he's wearing are dirty and white just like bush is dirty and shady

[@kingkushner]

I think he was talking about his"genes" being dirty and white not a pair of pants lol. Either way funny as hell 😂

[@irokhiphop]

Lock is my top MC. Got all of his projects. Lofty Goals on 06/30/2015. Don't sleep on real hip hop. Support the movement. If you get a chance to see him live, do it. Well worth the money.

[@kaleelullah4156]

irokhiphop - amen brother

[@nobody3888]

truth and buy his autograph from his website, not like I'd wanna sell it, but if he blows up whicH he will, that shits like a souveneer

[@reggiebushjr619]

lock slayed those no name fools. lock aint nothing to mess with

[@jordnkris]

Yea cause lock ain't nothing to ness with...

[@Microwavegreese]

+Jordan Bolduc I see what you did there .

[@chriskeepit100]

J Isaak was spitting too

[@AzraelsCatharsis]

Locksmith murders every beat thrown at him and any rapper unfortunate enough to be put against him is obliterated so much respect, superb delivery, flow, content, emotion, freestyle skill...he has it all, those other 2 never heard of em and thank you for that

[@ericparker163]

Lock is just on another level...

[@bigazn816]

That girl in the back during the last free could catch it.

[@CombatLegsVIDS]

Pete rock drop the ball on those beats, man

[@MADNEWYORKER914]

CombatLegsVIDS GTFOH!!! Those beats are 🔥.

[@rshelburg]

That second one was fire

[@chicago23cub]

You ain’t lying

[@teajay8154]

🙌 Locksmith is a Beast!!!!

[@JJbones88]

Damn...they should have put Lock on the end of the cypher line-up haha did the other emcees dirty by having to go after haha

[@jordnkris]

" he's so feared nobody wants to help em "" fucking laughed cause it's prob true

[@Slamminmor]

Lock said lma keep it short on the second round...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@chosenlink2]

The energy of this cypher is what hip hop is about. All those dudes have much different styles, come from different backgrounds and all showing respect to one another.

[@liquideagle6884]

That was beautiful raw and real.

[@poetparagraph]

Zero likes typical

[@christsang3066]

omg locksmith is so good

[@chiefrocka3128]

Locksmith outshines them

[@gototheantusluggard2644]

@ 0.39-0.42 When it dawned on Theodore grams that Locksmith is a Beast lyrically

[@abdulhamidketchman8599]

locksmith and I issic did really well. the middle guy. I'm straight on. even though he has a COUPLE nice bars. he didn't know how to ride the first and last beat. issic killed the 3rd round.

[@Itz_TJ]

Girl feeling J Isaak on the last beat

[@akeemolugbengaatitebi4620]

J Isaak young and talented, this kid will go places.TG is aii. Locksmith...don't even bother, this man is born to rap.

[@Itsbraingrey]

HAHAHA Pete rock cuttin' the beat with the little mac pops :DDD

[@V0rTeXYT]

Locksmith had the full package

[@johndoemen316]

Yo Sway THAT WAS THE FUCKING BEST CYPHER YOU HAD ON THE SHOW ALL OF THESE MEN IS TALENT MC'S AND HAVE NOTHING BUT POSITIVE OUTLOOK FOR THEIR CAREERS AS THEY GROW EVEN MORE MUCH LOVE SWAY, HEATHER B AND TRACY G. PEACE!!!!!!!!

[@415Dub]

Pete rock needs to stop hitting that volume button on his MacBook

[@MrMaintainen]

Man NOBODY can follow after Lock... It just got bad to worse after him.

[@iKitchenRich]

My Man said get ready like pick lil Chris up off the porch, thats a line, and not a game!!🔥

[@supafly1982]

Sways Universe is fucking boss!!! killing it!

[@Rcice90]

These 3 dudes killed this cypher.

[@chriskeepit100]

All killed it

[@yoelgide4710]

This was one of the best trio cyphers I've ever seen. Everyone went hard asf. Even tho Theodore Grams slick messed up at the end but he did give two great verses prior to that so I aint tripping. J Isaak was really cool and interesting, and Locksmith as always brung some straight fire. 🔥

[@MADNEWYORKER914]

Lock Smith just got another fan!!! All of these kids got that heat.

[@BrothaShinobi]

"we the kids next door, looking to beat father" SHEEEESH

[@jayloncowan7807]

Lol I thought I was the only one who noticed that line hahaha

[@GBlunted]

They save the best for last for sure...that dude said he's gifted like 10am on Christmas lol😆

[@buphoon4903]

good shit. it feels like hiphop is getting better again, like im seeing less whack rappers (iggys) and more dope ones like these

[@chicago23cub]

What best is this man

[@nikmangijana2500]

locksmith always speak facts

[@widerling]

That last beat!!!

[@hiphopheaven]

critic my flows and by beats I take it all as advises. I like that line every artists should do the same.

[@pkaydennis]

why am i so concerned about the girls in the back

[@mallycortez7614]

They all dope emcees spitting fire bars

[@icarusr4842]

LoL that kid's next door reference

[@zero_fux_given8840]

"I USED TO THROW PARTYS BUT I DIDNY PARTY / CAUSE MY WAS TO BRING GUNS THERE" 💀💀💀 ROFL LMAFO

[@OscarPalacios]

DAmn! They got bars

[@icarusr4842]

I love me some petestrumentals but that last beat was whaaack

[@Icouldnotgetausernam]

Here for Lock

[@bucktaylor619]

they need to shut up while standing next to lock

[@seanburski6271]

bucktaylor619 Wish i could like this comment more than one time....

[@IrresistibleWitch]

Fire!!!!

[@nobody3888]

buying this dudes autograph

[@charleneleak]

Dope!!

[@fortydeebz]

That cheeba cheeba beat is crazy as fuck

[@abdullahs.3675]

Look at the other dude face 0:40 when locksmith dropped his first 🔥🔥verse

[@yaoblack3579]

Had to fast forward from lock verse to lock verse. Except for that last isaak verse.

[@alberteinstein3622]

Sway funny cause he got that credibility, and he gets cocky with it hahaha. shit is epic. No one do it like Sway do it.

[@aerius266]

iamlocksmith I been fuckin with since EA Ski and you was rocking the whole frontline crew I fuck wit you #Bayshit

[@linobart1641]

sway did Theodore grams dirty

[@Itsbraingrey]

J Isaak caught a little mos def flow when he started.

[@jamesbyrne295]

1:20 that's proper

[@fairplayterrific147]

Yo some folks in these comments are bugging out BIG TIME! I know opinions are Subjective but yo there wasn't a whack beat in that Cypher a bit unconventional but not Whack that first beat I can definitely hear Raekwon, Doom, Nas, Freddie Gibbs, Celph Titled, Jean Grae, and Roc Marciano Murking that shit....... Nice Cypher Overall.....

[@DivineSovereignSoul]

You are so right, I loved that first beat but I typically like those types of beats anyway. Your suggestions are on point too I can see any of the people you mentioned over that beat. I can't think of many more to add either maybe Pharoahe and Cannibal Ox, Black Thought or even Kool Keith. I didn't mind any of the unconventional beats lol and the cypher was pretty dope.

[@fairplayterrific147]

Pass It On Gosh if only there were more folks that shared your taste lol much respect to you for naming Cannibal Ox The Cold Vein props to El-P are filled with Unconventional Dope Beats the Pharoahe shout out was nice too. You know what Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) Phonte, Jay Electronica, Kool G Rap, Bahamadia and Elzhi would also match those joints...

[@DivineSovereignSoul]

Sheila Wilson Lol, I feel you. Yes, they all would destroy that beat, I am reading these names and putting collabs together in my head lol. I also have to give credit to Locksmith, he handled this best well, and dominated this cypher. I need to get his new project.

[@fairplayterrific147]

Pass It On Yeah Lock is definitely no okie to this, why he isn't on a level playing field with J.Cole, Big K.R.I.T, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino and Drake is beyond me lol

[@carlcrews4973]

Definatley Pharoahe Monch on that first beat

[@nobody3888]

anyone else hear him call out smoke n mirrors by cambatta

[@MitraBobby]

FIYA FLAME FUTURE!!!

[@SuperJcoleFan]

Theodore Grams was the weakest link

[@jordnkris]

Goodbye(English accent)

[@erronking7783]

*****​ his second round was koo

[@falltxn7412]

Close your eyes and here what he has to say.

[@falltxn7412]

Hear* :/

[@pkaydennis]

***** thats a plus

[@TheRobAustin17]

Does anyone know what that last beat is called from Pete Rock?

[@dylan8550]

should not have let lock go first....cant appreciate the others now

[@badexperiment]

that theodore grams guy doesn't even know how to rap on beat lmao.

[@falltxn7412]

grams did great

[@badexperiment]

+FallTxN yeah sure, if you ignore the fact that he isn't on beat at all. he was doing a fucking a capella over a beat lmfao.

[@jdportwerks6795]

Damn this cat lock is nice! Was not feelin them other two guys flows were boring!

[@cut.mackin2628]

Real Richmond

[@ThaProfetPR1]

damn...

[@anthonyjones5186]

what the frist instrumental

[@rondumason4756]

LET LOCK ROCK FOR DOLO ON THE BEAT

[@LittleBillsss]

Info on theodore grams hat?

[@lanijaydaws3219]

Locksmith is the goat!

[@ethanrim2992]

What's the name of the beat?

[@pkaydennis]

first sway freestyle where everyone killed equally

[@westcoastflaneur]

pkay dennis what you listening to son? Lock should be spittin with Eminem and Lupe. check your ears LOL

[@pkaydennis]

***** i said everyone killed i didn't say lock wasn't the best. why do you want to be "stupid"

[@westcoastflaneur]

pkay dennis "EQUALLY," but seriously I could care less about winning this argument. I just wanted to point out that these other cats didn't kill, more like trash HAHA. And I'm not replying anymore. Cheers man

[@pkaydennis]

***** whatever bro

[@cut.mackin2628]

Real Richmond still .. Lock smith ah wild boy YTB to CPV .. He kno what I mean

[@officialdavidburrus7425]

REAL RICHMOND!!!!

[@zero_fux_given8840]

job*

[@Process136]

Theodore reminds me heavily of Isaiah rashad

[@bhrmbrtimamadyousefi1360]

This I can't believe this video's got 71k views but less than 100 likes cause yall hating like kd said oh u big maaaaaaad 😆

[@derickibarra3635]

Legit thought that was Karlous Miller

[@arthuramadi6704]

Am i the only one that feels like J Isaak could actually turn out to be something impressive

[@briansuarez9438]

Hes nasty with it. Crazy flow.

[@mahirsudad2311]

Rappers now drink apple juice (look at lock)

[@terrencehogan3954]

Lock first go round, Grams second... Grams speak with more conviction... Thats why im a fan of his lyrics rather than other 2

[@BenDontTrip]

Killers

[@amanSpawn00]

Gotta say, J Isaak sounds like a mix between Gigan and ID 4 Winds, both featured on an MF DOOM album. Don't get me wrong, the kid spits good, but knowing this makes it sound a bit copied.

[@pokergirlsam6127]

Life is really sad. People are so nieve these days.

[@Ojgville4l]

Lower the fucking monitor. now.

[@lindsayhobson1245]

Get k rino on here

[@emmanuelsiyester5959]

How do agree to be on a cypher with locksmith 🤨

[@macha3191]

That's just unfair to Grams and J Isaak

[@briansuarez9438]

Its not that theodore sucks. He goes hard in a few lines he spits. Just needs to write more creative shit.

[@passout10]

Locksmith needs to chill murdering the other two without even trying.... geeezus....yo they weren't ready. Standing next to a giant on the mic

[@jordnkris]

Phhhew

[@dietcoke9536]

White girls brought sexy back

[@3xFranco]

DIdn't like the second dude

[@yngfu_]

I give it to grams off style points. Locksmith obviously got the yamean but it ain't that fresh shit

[@grocolder1432]

Pete rock probably did them like that on purpose. I know he has better

[@papagunz45]

Should've let Lock go last, cuz the other 2 were just average.

[@fulldeepshadowmmon]

That 3rd beat is so bad and awkward

[@BabyOats]

They are ill
