[@StruckByEvil]

Congrats Lock! Hey man I wish you and K Rino would do an album together. Keep it up! Honestly I've been feeling your freestyles the most.

[@Cptnlewis]

iamlocksmith bra u spit better than any mainstream bitches... keep putting dat fire under dey azz... I know in my heart homie u wouldn't switch up.. peace my brother 👏👏👏

[@Cptnlewis]

Josh Foster bra I just was saying he would be next after the wizard... real talk, that's a huge compliment

[@nathiteyise6627]

I HAVE A FEELING

[@sargentpiddles9580]

Coped that shit and being a die hard lock fan, I was even impressed dog

[@ryanduray1]

If you're not impressed by what he's saying, listen again. And again. Then a few more times. Digest and process these words. This man is a pure master.

[@eccentrictheoreticpercepti4629]

BlackDogsMatter I actually listen to music and understand high caliber shit and your right, the more I listen I’m more and more impressed

[@spiritualviking8094]

Pure master, i agree but thats being nice. hes a raw pure talent smithing hella locks!

[@TheLynxer]

@@spiritualviking8094 Talent and hard work, my man. Don't undersell Locksmith's work ethic. He's not just raw talent, he's so much more.

[@NosIsBack]

Ridiculous lines! The most underrated rapper out today.

[@nobody3888]

+NosIsBack i agree but not the MOST underrated, Locksmith has a pretty loyal fan base, check out nino bless < he was in slaughter house before they signed to eminem , one the best out

[@tee4222]

It’s between him and KAAN, but yeah for real

[@trollinuhoz]

Maybe to the mainstream at this time. he the goat IMO. Never any filler or bullshit bars.

[@MachineGunFunk123]

Arguably one of the most articulate mc's I've ever heard. Even with incredible rhyme schemes, complex and diverse vocabulary, and illustrated scenarios, his delivery is crystal clear and powerful.

[@jeffc1488]

Couldn't have said it better myself. I haven't been listening to lock for very long, but he became my favorite lyricist very quickly.

[@OGSumoVIBE]

RICHMOND IN THE HOUSE!!!! Ain't nobody knowing about all the work that this brotha puts in for the youth becuz he ain't out there waiting for the camera to turn on before he gets generous.... besides the verbal skills, this dude is a huge inspiration to my home city. Go head Lock!!!! I see you workin' kid.

[@MykeTruth]

Locksmith just another asset and golden rapper to revive the HIP HOP new era foreal! Respect - Myke Truth

[@lordfalco4494]

Best freestyle of all time,no rapper has ever free styled like this...come on people lets tell the truth!

[@eyeballjellyforbreakfast]

Eyedea used to fucking shit on this style. Fuck yourself idiot.

[@eyeballjellyforbreakfast]

plus this is written you fucking moron. pahaha Kristoff Krane freestyles better than this everyday you fucking idiot. hahahahaha

[@Psquared2324]

Big L has.

[@eyeballjellyforbreakfast]

Big L is still not on Eyedeas level but his sway in the morning is beat mode.

[@Psquared2324]

Lukas High I like Eyedea(rip) but you're wrong. lol

[@drehardin]

This dude be putting in thought with every bar. Every single bar.

[@hpensive]

Locksmith is ironically a "key" player in the Underground Hip-Hop Revolution. He is definitely the most conscious expert freestyler I know of. The saddest part is that your so unknown bro!

[@itsdiscipline5287]

"X a mark from his window, squares get minimised" Oh that's mad sneaky. - Top Corner of your screen

[@dylan8550]

That's how you perfect the combination of quick lyricism with a deep message

[@ayosopitan5401]

I am 34 and I outgrew rap years ago because there are no rappers like this in the mainstream. This is heavy stuff.

[@reneavalos6978]

the understanding you have of these labels and the corporate world is unbelivable if only each rapper knew thanks for being awake keep spitting these lyrics are straight my voice the peoples voice

[@animeanimal2222]

Thank you for being so amazing. Humanity is missing people like you. You're more then just a rapper.

[@wotchthiz]

I think I just dropped a tear. I'm no conspiracy theorist but dudes who are straight garbage are promoted to dumb down the community and this brotha gets no time. W.T.F.

[@BOXINGEGO]

WOOOOW This nigga went in. OH yeah and I'm from the BAY! EASYYYYY

[@truBoxingfan]

Lock one the coldest from the bay !

[@Ggv19128]

Easily top 3 most intelligent rapper ever

[@PierceBrunson]

[@nobody3888]

+BINGO2015 yeah Locksmith is easily a top 10 skilled emcee, also those who dont know, check out nino bless easily one of the best out doing it right now

[@InterstellarCloudd]

+Josh Guglielmo bruh tou were trying to diss him on another video you mark ass bitch.

[@mikes.3574]

..your mental view is skewed like a pre war German cinema🙉🙊🔥,is when i dropped my phone

[@dylan8550]

Gilgamesh Indaflesh can someone explain this line to me i know it has to be fire but i dont get it

[@mikes.3574]

L. Ron Hoyabembe all of those movies were propaganda, intentionally skewed towards anti Semitic and anti American ideology. basically people don't even know why they think what they think because they can't see past the propaganda and trust me, everything is propaganda

[@nikkparsons5609]

Had to listen twice before I wrapped my brain around it. I'd give an awful lot to be able to put my thoughts and feeling into an expression that is that clear.

[@fijician6307]

Dude I threw my head back so hard it ripped my headphones off my head.

[@andykerste1]

Lol I lost it. Dude is so ridiculously dope and over most these mfs heads..

[@adirtyjewscud]

[@elny29]

[@AnthonyMitchelltrueblue33]

Dammit!!! The best of the best!!

[@HCMetalhead2010]

Killed it.

[@castle_821]

What a beast!!!

[@josephbellanti5676]

Get em!

[@aaronnix3779]

yo dude is too underrated. what sucks is i hear him spit over other more commercial instrumentals in freestyles and it's always at least on par with the original. this dude has to have gotten plenty of offers. just prolly is one of the few who walks the walk and dont really entertain that shit. respect yo.

[@learninginthedark]

Lock this in unreal good. I love both parts of this freestyle. Pure Gold. Rap was lost on me because it was dishonest, youve shown me the truth.

[@learninginthedark]

The stuff about losing your mom, finding religion, "when i play a girl i lose another piece of you".. right in the heart with the lyrics. Its also unparalelled in cleverness with the "your circles full of squares like a mahfuking waffle cone." all of it. "Nobody" is my jam for where im at in life right now. Nothing but love.

[@misscriss99]

Brilliance. ❤️

[@stevebatio1626]

Locksmith u a beast never sell out keep spitting that real shit u the truth bro

[@mvp5316]

DAMN!!! This nigga Lock gives me goosebumps every time I hear him spit.... It reminds me when I first heard Canibus freestyle before his first album came out. Canibus was the reason why I got into the lyrical part of hip hop and now Lock is my reminder why I love hip hop in the first place! Amazing fam! Love your work! PEACE!!!!

[@jacobshort5378]

This dude needs to be SO MUCH bigger than he is! The fact so many sleep on lock is disgusting. Not very many at all can touch this dude.

[@rj5657]
