[BNT]

No disrespect to Bun, but when I hear this I think of the rebirth of Pusha as the solo artist he has become

[Zero]

 

[Wild self]

He took Jada's beat and annihilated it

 

[WheresWallace]

 

[SirBiatch]

There is an exception for everything

Makes sense. arguably the most famous freestyle ever. and the best example of "we had no idea there was even an original track"

 

[Knicksman20]

This comes close

 

[mobbinfms]

all these examples are terrible.

It's pretty much impossible for a freestyle to be better than the original song. Songs are more than just verses.

I don't know if this counts, but this was close to being as good as "Cobra"

Some rap songs are just verses though
With no hook or a very simple hook. Or a hook that's just more bars. Look at You Ain't a Killer.
Look at Protect Your Neck for example.

very true. But they're performed by top notch emcees. Not SMACK-DVD-esque rappers with fitteds trying to play the role.
