"5 Fingers of Death Freestyle" by R-Mean

"Tell these rappers how it is/
I see a skinny jeans wearing muhfucka, I'ma snap him like a twig/
The baddest in the biz, actually the kid's/
Not a backstabber, see I'd rather stab you in the ribs/"

 

Never heard of this guy before, but luckily I check out most of the 5 Fingers of Death videos regardless of who it is. This guy had a lot of sick lines and his rhymes were pretty good too. Check it.

Even though I don't quite follow B.o.B. that much anymore, I can definitely understand that he's talented. I always like seeing these 5 Fingers of Death freestyles, and B.o.B. was actually freestyling pretty good for a bit until he decided to do what sounds like a written verse. Either way I feel like these Shade 45 sessions bring a lot out of the artists. Not gonna post lyrics for this one since it's mostly random freestyle shit lol.

"5 Fingers of Death Freestyle" by Brother Ali

"I ain't never lied about what my skin is, it's obvious/

I'm just so obsessed with seeing power for the powerless/

I insist, I will never operate on cowardice/

Rather chop my wrist than be afraid to take this kinda risk/"

God damn. This video is a reminder to anybody who ever thought Brother Ali isn't killin' every beat he touches. It was sick hearing him over these beats as opposed to the kind he usually spits over. I'm a huge fan of his albums but it'd still be sick to hear him rap over some harder beats, like the 2nd one (which he absolutely destroyed). Every verse he dropped was awesome though. If you like consistent rhymes, check this shit.

"5 Fingers of Death Freestyle" by Papoose [Shade 45]

"Pinnacle, definitely, own so much jewels in my memorable memory/

It's like I'm a physical treachery, ???? weaponry/

Psychotic niggas who envy me wanna be nuts, I bust nuts like my gentials, sexually/

Punished in my mothers stomach by swimming through Hennessey/

I was born with a difficult destiny, not your typical, mentally/"

As a youngin', my favourite rap artists were all about that gangster shit. My iPod was full of tracks by The Game, G-Unit, D-Block, Dipset, etc. Although there was little that these artists/groups said that I could relate to, I love how hard the beats were and the lyricism involved with the music they made. But over years a lot of these artists kinda fell off in my opinion, and either started havin' shitty lyrics, or just makin' shitty songs. Maybe I just grew outta listening to that form of rap. Papoose was one of the artists that I used to love listening to growing up. He was easily one of the illest emcees in the game at the time, in my opinion. So this morning when I was browsing sites, I found a freestyle by Pap from the Sway in the Morning radio show. It's crazy. The DJ goes through 5 different beats and Papoose rips through all of em with no remorse. My favourite part is when he starts choppin' quick lyrics at around 2:10 in the video. Being an upcoming emcee, I know how difficult it can be to spit out a verse this quick in one take. But he managed to do it without any flaws, and not to mention some craaaaazy rhymes. I'll shut up and let you check it for yourself though. Sorry bout the missing part in the lyrics. Couldn't figure out what he said lol. Open ya Earz muhfuckas!
