very true. But they're performed by top notch emcees. Not SMACK-DVD-esque rappers with fitteds trying to play the role.
True. But my example (which you dismissed along with every other example) was one top notch emcee (Prodigy) bodying a beat that had already been bodied by another top notch emcee (Pun). You could go either way with who was better. But Prodigy at a minimum, was close to Pun. Which was the parameter established by @FreshAIG

your example and the Big L/JayZ freestyle are the only exceptions thus far.

I just preferred pure bars over it..rather than soulful thing Mos was trying to do. Great beat tho


And it ain't like I'm braggin' or boastin'
I just don't give a fukk about nikkas emotions
I'm well determined, dedicated with devotion
Never a smooth sail, it's rough water in the Oceans
Higher in the ranks, I'm hotter than you think
Throw the chinchilla in the fire like Frank
Money is a issue, respect make you much more official
But you can lose them both from a pistol

:wow:

I'm on a higher echelon
My nikkas do pushups with the cards till the entire deck is gone
You already know we extra strong
And the AK is on the same dresser that the tech was on
Godfather, .38s in the restaurant
Headshot, so you can go an keep your vests' on

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"




If i could rep I would. I had this on repeat for months in high school. Mixtape 50 was God.

Didn't even know this was a real song til i listened to Luda's red light district.. 50 made it better. 2050 is an underrated mixtape.





What Lu did to this wasn't even fair.. Dude is easily the greatest lyricist in rap.
