@@thoughtgarden8090 you could try and write something on this level of lyricism in 10 years and come up with a nursery rhyme dawg

[@king.deandre]

@@thoughtgarden8090 man the art of freestyling your missing it to proceed thru life's ills while having a mind that wants to nourish and spread knowledge you've attained to keep the cycle of good energy you've discovered instead of the ills your use to "proceed to proceed" is to "keep keeping on" and to plant seeds is passing the wisdom on and these are concepts he came up with just freestyling

[@michaellattimore3450]

One of the best and most underrated, but that's usually how it is, the true greats are never celebrated like they should be.

[@nicholasadams2374]

Michael Lattimore A true freestyle!! Off the dome, not written. Thats how its done. Alot of great artists freestyle on Sway's show. But im always dissapointed. They come on the show and you can tell their freestyle is something they wrote. Spittin fast as hell, no pauses, and everything rhymes perfectly. Lupe went on for a while, pure talent, straight off the dome. That was amazing.

[@ryanarey1991]

For real man! That's a real freestyle, Lupe! Fuck! Homeboy can rap. Real rap. One of the best I've ever seen on Sway. I love seeing Sways reaction to a truly good, talent filled freestyle. Hahaha classic!

[@Punjabispitta]

"And proceed to proceed, and put seeds in the ground with trees to grow leaves." Did anybody catch how deep that line was? I can't believe that one was off the top my goodness Lupe is the true definition of a wordsmith.

[@jhernandez_99]

still tryna find the meaning

[@KIbblemania1234]

Listen to "dumb it down" and look up the lyrics on rapgenius 10x more where that came from

[@vishnuhalikere2151]

Anyone know the name of the track he freestyled too?

[@ernestorodriguez3579]

I feel like the first proceed means to continue, the the second proceed means to move forward or to be prosperous. Then he says that the way to do it is to put seeds in the ground that will grow into trees, or to plant ideas or philosophies or something along those lines that will grow into something larger with the right amount of time and nurture.

this guy literally gave one of the best metaphors ive ever heard, "And proceed to proceed, and put seeds in the ground with trees to grow leaves." invented a new word (quanswers) and even DEFINED IT while still going hard with his flow... this guy's insane

[@geraldmerritt5671]

I'm from Houston i think the only trap rapper in Chicago that i really gave a chance was lil' herb. But yea i rarely give many artist today a chance i think my top 3 at the moment. Is Kendrick, Big Krit, and J Cole to me they are keeping Hip Hop alive. I feel like Lupe has been around long enough to call him a Legend already. I miss the times of the Old Kanye, Common, Lupe still doing his thing, Twista, even Do or Die which was signed by RapALot in Houston.

[@dwightsanchez4366]

Yeah like old school better now days you only got a few that you can consider hip hop rappers

See sometimes rapper are all pushy about changing beats and it's annoying. However when your not doing 5 fingers of death and simply want to chill out and freestyle, this is a perfect example where asking to switch the beat is a definite. He still would have been great to the other beat, but the chillness of this beat mixed with his original lyrical ability just fit perfectly to make this legendary freestyle.

+wunas96 Go ahead. drop a freestyle off the top better then him, no one stops you.

[@gwiltl]

Coming back to this freestyle knowing what I commented a year ago, I rescind and retract my statement because I now known what Lupe Fiasco is about and how many layers there are to his words. So, with that in mind, I listened to the freestyle with a new insight and breadth of knowledge. No disrespect was intended. Well, looking back, I was just saying what I thought of it; I wasn't saying that he's terrible. Yeah, I think back then also, I didn't realise that the other 'freestyles' weren't complete improvisation, so of course they sounded better with more rhymes and things. I probably wasn't listening to his words, so I just thought it was nonsense. It's easily done with a very complex lyricist. So, anyway, I'm coming back to say that I now think it WAS amazing because it was structured rather than just trying to rhyme a lot. Apologies if I offended anyone. What can I say? I was ignorant. It's always funny looking back on how you were, and you think: wow, I was so ignorant. And I don't mean ignorant as in stupid, I mean in the literal sense of the word. Freestyling off the top is one thing, but to do it so it all links and is well-structured is another.

When Lupe was kicking that freestyle, I thought I was chilling on the porch with him and Sway.

Best freestyle on Sway. Please tell me someone agrees?

agree....this is in my rotation just as a regular song....it was just that good!! Vibe out brother

[@brettcole8046]

+Kaleb Waterman Did you see both King Los' or Damian Lillard's? Even though Lillard isn't a rapper, he killed it.

[@GuestBarber]

+Brett Cole you right about los! but to compare the greats to Damien Lillard... naw

[@brettcole8046]

Haha I wasn't comparing Lillard to the greats. I was just saying, for someone whose career is the NBA, the dude had bars. It was a nice surprise. I wasn't expecting him to like go as deep as he did, but the dude like really made you feel some type of way and put you in his shoes. I mean, this may be a long shot to say but I think if Lillard were to ever get sidelined permanently (God forbid), he could definitely earn respect in the realm of rapping. That's my personal opinion.

[@chickenwityamz]

That's what the hell a freestyle is supposed to sound like! No Phone, no written bars,....straight off the top.

[@blutygah]

Never gets old. 'I'm feeling good, its like a dream....' Lupe remains one of my best.

[@AGSA5]

the most realistic rapper alive.

[@banksdiggy]

Realistic ? As opposed to what? An imaginary rapper ?

[@kh7688]

There's a distinct difference between freestyle and mixing several writtens with a couple of add ons. I'm not even gonna get started on guys who rap off a phone or spit lyrics from upcoming singles. Now I have nothing against shit written for a show and adding a couple of bars of your own but this is real freestyle. It wasn't at all rehearsed and it wasn't perfect but that's what makes it so authentic. Anyone that comes on and everything sounds perfect, they thought of it beforehand. You know it's real when some lines don't click or there's a couple of repeats. Yet when you listen carefully there's gold to be found. Rest assured as with everything Lupe does, he comes up with gold. The smartest rapper we've ever had, he may not be your favourite rapper but there's no denying he's a great. We need the old Lupe back though Food&Liqour and TheCool are classics in every sense of the word.

[@isaac.farrell]

Tetsuo & Youth was as good as F&L and better than The Cool imo, and his new album Waves looks great. We don't need the Old Lupe back, he never left.

[@joshuadreha6304]

my face hurts from smiling from watching sway smile the whole way through. smiles, amazing beats, even better positive flows.. Great atmosphere & a pleasure to watch.. & watch.. & watch.. & watch some more. ✌

Lupe's freestyle game today is otherworldly he was already one of the best. I know he did drill music in Zion off the top of his head and it was a whole concept album. He is a very underrated rapper but if you know you know. If he hadn't signed at 360 deal and fought back against the label we don't know how big he could be.

[@theendboss4849]

Lupe is a real hip-hop artist. He said he don't know how NOT to freestyle off the dome when someone says freestyle. That's what the fuck a freestyle is! Not this new generation "free verse" bullshit these wack rappers led y'all to believe

[@JOEY199X]

People say they want real rap and Hip-Hop. If you visit the other channels where there are rappers like Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan & Migos, you'll hear them complaining bout how the world of Hip-Hop has turned to a disaster. The funniest shit is that Hip Hop fans are full of Hypocrisy. Lupe has always been one of the few rappers who lyrically paints a picture of his thoughts about world aspects, but he get almost few attention. If you really love true Hip-Hop don't brag about it, support who spits pure lyricism.

[@GrandCross]

THANK YOU! Very few true lyricist left in the game that can inspire. This is why I hold on to being a Lupe fan. Man is a genius but no one ever gives him the true recognition he deserves. I hope hip-hop will return to its roots

[@OakCliffTX82]

Hip hop is full of hypocrisy. On one hand we say that real music never gets respect, but when it does then suddenly it's too mainstream or the mc is a sellout. We want to be recognized, but if I hear about one of those Kardashians at a Mic Jenkins show... I'm a be pissed

[@hunter10391]

there are plenty of artists that spit pure lyricism.king los, tory lanez, fabo, lloyd banks..etc. i know lupe probably is up there with king los and kendrick but cmon man. a lot of his music is boring. he's basically a political rapper. it gets boring real quick when he basically is being the world news and talking about everything that goes in the world. just bc he talks about political and racial issues with some nice metaphors dosent make him a lyrical genius. and yes sometimes the stuff does sound so advanced that u really don't understand it. I'm aware of that but that dosent make him one of the best. he's just speaking about stuff nobody relates to
