You did a fabulous job giving this man his flowers... Here's some for you too 💐

[@tdsnuggs]

Thank You!

[@DippedInInk]

This is the type of rhymes I like. Metaphors, entendres, styles that’ll activate your mind to the astral plane. As an artist I wanna visualize what I hear.

[@tdsnuggs]

True indeed, Fred was 1 of 1!

Check out Aesop Rock. I'm sure his catalog has a few gems you'd appreciate. ✌🏽

[@knutt81]

@DippedInInk Just a heads up. It may take several listens of a track. My first listen was the song "Daylight" around '01, '02.

"I'm MC Hammer. I spent a grip on the baggies" Fred was a wild boy!!! 😂

[@wmextra]

lol yeah he got it

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

Fred was a monster with the punchlines. Years after his passing I'm still catching bars I didn't notice before and getting a good laugh.

[@AROOOOF]

Fred’s verse on Empty Plates with 38 Spesh … every bar he uttered was a metaphor! RIP Big Bronx 💐

The first I heard of Benny and Spesh was because there were on his Nokia track.

I was one of the few that picked the right answer on the community poll. RIP Fred The Godson, an inspiration to many.

[@tdsnuggs]

True indeed you did Jacob. Humble dude but a whole different story when Freds rapping.

[@poetscane]

Rest In Peace to dude. I never checked him like that so you're putting me on to how punchline/ wordplay nice he is. Thanks yo

[@tdsnuggs]

He was prolific with the pen. Call me crazy, but I think Jim Jones got Freds rhyme book. You ain't hear it from me though. I appreciate you Poet!

[@hottakehylas]

​@@tdsnuggshaha I always thought this about Fat Joe having Pun's rhyme book when he died. Jimmy and Fred is a stretch but he did get pretty damn good at some point didn't he lol

[@jerzyboy24music]

His voice sounds like jedda kiss

[@djandjb1]

I remember checking out some of his music back before he was on the XXL cypher. Think he had a couple of mixtapes out by then on datpiff. He definitely had some bars, I think the big reason he never caught on back then was his image, sounding a little too old school in an era where Kanye west and Lil Wayne were very dominant. He also did have some corny bars people would point out (as if Wayne and other punchline heavy rappers don’t). I think he’s a lot like Cyhi the Prince where he could be inconsistent and his punchlines came before any kind of song structure or theme. It was mostly about the one liners, which is fine and some people prefer that.

[@26MECH]

​@@djandjb1Very well said

Bruh, you can listen to the same song 1000 times and heard something new every time. R.I.P. Homie

That's amazing! Fred deserves all the props for his pen!

[@JustFollowingOrders12]

How do you like Pendulum ink?

[@leroygreen6310]

@@JustFollowingOrders12 One of the best experiences in my life as an artist. One thing that's underrated is artist development. That's so necessary it's crazy cause without it you won't establish as many streams of income in the streaming era. Also the students click up and unite so now I got somebody in multiple states around the country I can bounce ideas off and tour if I wanted. We meet up in different cities throughout the year and I've met and spoke to several of rap heroes because their visiting professors. Imagine learning from Method Man and then Sway from Shade45, Pete Rock and Kid Capri stop by just to say what's up smh. That's the kinda stuff that goes on here. On top of the fact you gonna be comparing your bars to alot of other dope MC's so steel sharpens steel in that way. Pendulum Ink like the X Mansion for the X Men. Come get down with the team frfr.
