[@HarryVerolme]

LYNX CANE sounds so weird! Truth though.

[@CamboyGDubbz]

Mick Jenkins is doing hip-hop the proper way. Message, content, talent. It's all there, and that's why he's amazing.

[@SwagSoldier206]

proper way lol

[@SwagSoldier206]

***** yeah i can agree with that statement haha

[@CamboyGDubbz]

***** valid point.

[@Syphus323]

Camboy GW he's just missing the superstar quality though

[@DrinkmoWater.]

Most importantly leading it all to God ... I needed a rapper like him to step up mayne

[@jadinkosmma5459]

One of the best we have right now

[@kiddswankk1874]

Mick Jenkins is so fucking dope...he needs to be played on the radio...not lil yachty...Isaiah Rashad needs to be played on the radio...I'm tired of hearing drake

[@jamiebond1821]

KiddSwankk 187 Rashad and mick should collaborate atleast once

[@shawnishere1494]

It's about time this man gets recognized. Mick been out here making good shit.

[@HarryVerolme]

It's actually crazy to see the reactions after the freestyle. You can feel the people in the room were speechless. Crazy vibes.

[@JackBlack-nn2jn]

This dude has the crispiest hairline on planet earth

[@donx2341]

lmaooo! word!

[@geraldjordan6419]

Sway doesn't use a bowl for cereal he eats cereal out of his hat

[@jenseliasjaarvik592]

he never takes off his hat

[@gio4866]

its a weave

[@jordnkris]

Lol reminds me of the Marlin Wayan's interview .. He said Sway got his hat done to host the awards show

[@geraldjordan6419]

Jordan Bolduc lol word he said sway also has a part in his hat

[@airdropsneakers3432]

Glad Mick is on here and getting the respect he deserves. THC was so dope man.

[@blackcapone187]

huge shoutout to sway for putting this dude on his show, bruh is sick. listen to P's and Q's this dude raps in P's and Q's

[@bonganindlovu2345]

There will never be a "best rapper alive" while this brother is still breathing #GOAT

[@dany78945]

saw him in sf last year he puts on a performance. between songs spits his philosophy

[@PonchoBilly]

Best artist from Chicago, Chance at #2, and Herbo at #3

[@blackcapone187]

High Guise dude said herbo lol

[@mesnoma3869]

Id pick lupe before herbo

[@PonchoBilly]

TaJuan Ty Bey I'm talking about young artists, which is why I didn't include Kanye, Common, Twista, etc.

[@EASY1o1]

Alex wiley over Herbo

[@SoularAspectTLD]

Lupe will ALWAYS be on that list just for F&L and The Cool alone.

[@flymamma2666]

MICK IS THE GOAT....PERIOD HIS CATALOG 2 STRONG

[@WonderKRW]

Finally. Respect to Mick.

[@timothyalan34]

Happy this man positively represents my city. Chicago will claim him forever. Southside.

[@callmepasta600]

Timothy Alan we(montreal) will be claiming it too 😂😂 waters was made in mtl lol.

[@Edmanthegr8]

[@tinicoleofficial]

I love how Sway in the Morning loves hip-hop and really appreciate real music

[@daboycarswell]

More Water please

[@3-framez586]

IMO Waters>THC>Waves>Trees and Truths

[@anthonycraig2687]

3-framez they're all so good but I'd switch waves and trees and truth. "Peg cuffs and pocket trees" is just too nice

[@marcusavery1601]

3-framez same

[@MusicIsAWayOfLife123]

3-framez Fucked up the order big time, TnT & Waters >>>> the rest. lyrically at least

[@lancebrown3544]

waters >trees and truths >thc >waves

[@memma.9291]

Damn dude was good as hell yo...nicely done. The whole interview was good. They made a track sitting rite there.

[@jenseliasjaarvik592]

why his hair look like a swimming cap tho

[@jenseliasjaarvik592]

lol

[@Ketsado]

It doesn't recede, it actually goes further down with age.

[@alulim7]

[@mo6ley924]

😂

[@raykaz7]

so many W's on this thread

[@mandisamorake5633]

Mick is performing tonight in Johannesburg (South Africa)... so much love waiting for him!!!! its gonna be lit.

[@CamboyGDubbz]

24:40 a REAL FREESTYLE!!! LIKE ACTUALLY OFF THE TOP!!! MICK YOU A LEGEND FOR THIS ONE

[@thu6muff1n]

That's a verse tho. Still dope af, but def not a freestyle (assuming you meant it was a freestyle off the top)

[@CamboyGDubbz]

Perry Simpson yea I still consider it to be a freestyle only if it's off the dome. He started out sounding legit, the little fuck up got me hyped. Commented too early.

[@CASSOBLVCK]

Camboy GW it's from a song called Lazarus

[@CamboyGDubbz]

BLVCK LORD ye I thought I recognized it by the end... Yo I see you everywhere in the comments, you peep Lance Skiiwalker's new album yet? Do it up if not.

[@TheDemigodZilla666]

YEAH SWAY GOT THE DUDE MICK JENKINS. THE TRUTH

[@TheJacobHughesSkate]

I seen him in Nashville Wednesday at a 400 capacity venue, it was only $3 and I was the last person and almost did not get in. The way he vibes with the crowd and shows his emotion is mind blowing. I was just staring like what he fuck how does this nigga do this????? He walked like 15 feet passed me in the street too with 2 other dudes, I should have stopped him.

[@droopyjohnson4161]

"Drop'n dope I could of dealt to Whitney"...CASE CLOSED💀💀. Everything else Is just graveyard shift..#THC

[@EbonyBladeXX.mp3]

JEEEEEEEZ. thats freestyle at the end though. damn.

[@cameronahmad8219]

This mans first two albums are GODLY

[@TheAlphawolf6]

He only has one album

[@TheAlphawolf6]

Oh, are you talking about Trees and Truth and The Waters?

[@cameronahmad8219]

TheAlphawolf6 ...The Waters and THC

[@cameronahmad8219]

TheAlphawolf6 are you even a fan or did you at least watch the video

[@TheAlphawolf6]

The Healing Component is his debut album.... So what are you even talking about?

[@deesoul93]

NEO SOUL: soundcloud.com/vin-sou-mus/dhf-prod-mr-krash

[@MontTheBeatMaker]

The Healing Component changed my whole perception of hip-hop. micks untouchable

[@JohnnyApollo]

Nigga flow is crazy!!! Wayne in his prime mixed wit Hov

[@juaquawnjenkins]

[@timebombradio275]

[@isaiahccypruss]

Ray Kazembe WWWWW

[@nkonzodlamini5795]

[@anthonyz.9616]

hes only been rapping for a while and hes so ahead of alot of these new rappers...damn i assumed he would have been doing this his entire life

[@anthonyz.9616]

Scratch alot i meant all

[@chefbaxter2211]

new.kings he did poetry before...it's literally the same thing.

[@jermainejey]

If you're wondering if the freestyle was off top then from 26:14 - 27:45 was pre-written but the rest seemed to be off top

[@dbboykid10]

it was pre-written, that verse had a theme/message to it which means he sat down at some point and wrote it out. Also as you said he repeated that line from earlier

[@HadjiGalore]

I love Mick Jenkins personally he's my favorite in the game right now and I can relate to him in plenty of ways, I think this guy right here is a little prodigy of Mick with a little bit of Tyler the creator, check him out please, help him get off the ground, NO DISAPPOINTMENT I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT! He goes by the name Hadji Galore soundcloud.com/ohadji-t-diggs/devils-game-prod-biv

[@n.s.950]

ridiculous freestyle. and i usually don't comment on stuff like this but the girl on the right is EXOTIC, looking like something out Pirate's of the Caribbean.

[@osheaquinones2424]

Mick Jenkins has so much talent , its crazy the industry glorifies the mediocrity as Jenkins said in his song . Rare to find talent with so much writing skill like Mick nowadays , hes really setting a bar. Hes been in this game so long and im happy hes on a uprise. Hes getting what he deserves

[@dreamville7423]

Thank god, she cheated on him. Lol

[@FernandoMartinez-jv9vj]

[@luckymachuca7141]

I can just yell this man is very intellectual when he speaks and chooses his words very carefully. I just heard him 1month ago , "carefree" lyricist for sure.

[@aiwendil83]

Mick J and KRIT best rappers still rapping

[@iamtheyoni]

2020 and this still only got 69k views, thats actually sad, but either way this man out here doing his thing, definately one of the best lyricists to ever put pen to the pad, and hes only going to keep on prospering.

[@lordflame50]

I’ve been listening to Mick for about a year and a half now. The waters is the first I was put on. “Who else” is the song to listen to. Don’t go a day without listening to that. I was wondering if Mick and Sisko ever dropped this?

[@DIVERZEOFFICIAL]

Why is he so calm but going tf off OD. @MICKJENKINS for Pres.

[@thenoeseah]

Dope as always, awesome album too.

[@willfloydart]

I relate to what mick said about his early career so much, the mentality. Such an inspiring artist

[@LeJuan3000]

When you just noticed Earl sweatshirt type beat by mick jenkins had sway talking at the beginning

[@levantheman94]

Mick Jenkins will make you rewind the track in the beginning of it to sink into those bars he spits. Bruh

[@a.t.o.m6149]

if I wasn't such a big Kanye fan Mick would be my favorite rapper

[@grant9317]

Glad bro got his interview on Sway. Whether people wake up on this man or not... this right here is fantastic.
