(Poll) Aight, who had the better Flex Freestyle, Loaded Lux or Black Thought??

[NoChillJones]

Going with loaded lux. So many quotobles and underline themes it was insane.

I think Black Thoughts was much more clean and seemed more natural, but Lux comes in close second. Im thinking alot of what he was saying went over heads so they not getting it. But that man had the best freestyle of 2017, Mysonne was second until Black Thought came through and crushed the buildings.

 

[Renegade47]

yes

 

[Billy Ocean]

Thought. Mysonne should've been the other option.

Loaded Lux had so many qoutables & double entendres. Otherworldly. Doesn't mean Thought wasn't great, just that Lux went beyond that.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

You think Lux freestyled his shyt off the top?

A lot of people thought it might have been off the dome based on Black Thoughts pedigree.

The word 'freestyle' of today has a different connotation..and is really a lost art..

I feel those of us heavily apart of the battle rap world appreciated lux verse a bit more for the reasons you posted.

 

[T-K-G]

Lux was takin shots and addressing shyt in the battle rap world, you can't even fairly judge his bars if you don't know what's going on



Cyhi deserves an honorable mention man I downloaded his shyt before Lux and Black Thought

Lux was just It'd take me a few listens to catch everything though.. He doesn't have the clarity that Thought has..

Thought was a lesson in how to rap.. This nikka bodied shyt for 10 min without breathing

I prefer Lux but Cory Gunz destroyed shyt too and I'm not really a fan of his..

black thought

lux is out of pocket the whole time[/QUOTE]

The reason why I'm goin with BT

 

[old boy]

lux was nice but thought wins this one by a mile

 

[JayBaldacci]

Thought easily. I don't even know how it's a contest.

 

[spliz]

I got both of em tie. I might put Thought slightly above Lux’s. But I dont like how Cory Gunz never gets any love for his freestyle up there. He bodied his shyt.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Black Thought easily. Lux was fire but Thought ate the beat up like a hungry wildebeest

 

[FreshAIG]

As far as lyricism, Lux by a mile. Let's be honest, nobody is quoting anything Black Thought said, not because it wasn't good, it's ust because the individual lines in of themselves won't match up bar for bar. They read better as a collective. Where as Lux was a display on high-level wordplay, similies, punchlines, metaphors.

HOWEVER, Black Thought's was a better display of full rap skill in terms of cadence, breath control, staying in pocket, delivery.

I voted Lux because I enjoyed it more, like @cornercommission2k12, as battle rap fan, I'm more heavily into metaphors that's why the Ras Kass, early Jay, Joe Budden rank really high to me in terms of lyricism. I've watched Lux's freestyle over 20 times. I watched BT's twice.

But if I wanted to show someone why rap is the best genre and why the skills it takes to be a great rapper is greater than any other artform, I'd show them Black Thought's freestyle.

Mysonne should be an option, I think he had the hardest Flex “freestyle”
