T-Pain & Big Tigger name their Top 5 Rap City Freestyles

[@TheJiGenius]

Cam counting the money changed my life 🔥🔥🔥 I like how T Pain is saying we probably have not enough rappers for 1 season at the moment 🤣👌🏼

[@fredos4323]

That was the coolest thing most of us seen at that point in hip hop, moment for real...

[@rangariraikunedzimwe2780]

That's facts! 👍✔

[@Nick_A_Bacher]

That Buju Banton | Elephant Man basement Freestlye was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Shout out to Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY!

[@ProtaJ]

CLASSIC MOMENT

[@sun3nee]

I watch that Buju/Elephant man classic ALL THE TIME!!!

[@kareenkareensays4341]

Yes!!!

[@lyrik2k5]

That Killa Cam freestyle was smooth Every time Lloyd Banks went through was 🔥 Eminem/Luda/Wayne

[@chriscullers3279]

Banks would be in my top 5 for sure

[@BrooklynBaker03]

@@secondary479Em’s basement freestyle in like ‘01 was dope fym

[@jerryg4534]

Its crazy how everybody got a good dmx story. Rip the legend

[@TheJourneyofAll]

That Cassidy one was crazy

[@blackticalmayhem8461]

He never disappoints 😂

[@jaydillard7258]

Dawg 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesgibson3716]

Wordplay was crazy

[@DefinitionOfGaming101]

Which 1? cause cassidy went up there more than once??

[@TheJourneyofAll]

@@DefinitionOfGaming101 The one with the obie trice beat. 🔥

[@hosebeefy6667]

I used to run home to watch the basement man. Lol. What a fun time to be alive. I wish people could experience hip hop like it used to be.

[@gregblau8082]

I'd look forward to listening to big tig on the radio on the way home from in the mid 90's

[@AAA49224]

[@Xannyphantom905]

Fuck bone thugs. Wu Tang and Dipset is forever.

[@panamajr3239]

He went stupid when he saved that Bone freestyle

[@TheRealXoph]

I forgot about this classic, damn!!!!

[@jarionchaffin3998]

Luda used to be snapping

[@MetalFacedGamer]

Yes and when people talk about underrated rappers he is never mentioned. That dude put it on for a decade. Bars, choruses, beats, flows, metaphors - people can talk all this s*** they want and act like he wasn't him but he was

[@youngvic22]

Luda still be snapping, don't let the movies fool you

[@KrisThatsit]

​@@MetalFacedGamerI wouldn't call a rapper who has 5 Platinum albums and 3 Grammys underrated but I get what you're saying.

[@MetalFacedGamer]

@@KrisThatsit You know those b******* awards have nothing to do with how that goes. Plenty of groups, won Grammys and other things that aren't *great* But you know this already. Those awards are basically who is more popular

[@KrisThatsit]

@@MetalFacedGamer Underated definition : not rated or valued highly enough. You can't call everyone who's not consistently popular underrated, Luda had a successful career and went on to do movies, I would call rappers like AZ and Jay electronica underated.

[@BrendoDynomite]

Before he even mentioned any names, I'm already thinking Killa Cam all day for this list!!

[@kelsoriche3637]

1. Chamillionaire (Raps verse backwards) 2. Lil Wayne (Red Flag) 3. Ludacris (1st BITB) 4. 50 Cent (2nd time with G Unit) 5. Bow Wow (16 yo)

[@johnthompson5497]

Killer Mike, and no one believes me, but I the basement with The Flavor Unit with Queen Latifah

[@piglatin9]

It gotta be like a Basement lost footage redemption arc. Like they have footage of what Tigger said with these bad thitakes, talk about it and then come back and spit a better one. That would be interesting. But alsothere are a lot of rappers and artist out there now and post ones that would be dope to see. Drake, Kendric, Cole, Big Sean, Joyner, MGK, Cordae, Wale, Nikki, Migos. There is at least 10 plus the ones who have been on, it can be awesome

[@Kurrency1911]

I still watch the Cam freestyle to this day

[@damiendamon5420]
