    he has such a smoothe and enjoyable sound its like if morgan freeman was a rapper lol

    • @JesgateOnDown
      @JesgateOnDown 8 років тому +7

      LOL, except Morgan always has a pre-written script..- I'm pretty sure A-F-R-O had the lyrics , but go listen to mire from him. He truly can rap to anything. One of the few MC's who is able to really "freestyle" - actually most rappers keep a few bars already memorized he (A-F-R-O @afro_allflows) doesn't need to.

    • @ToselandHD
      @ToselandHD 8 років тому +4

      Try a band called Jurassic 5 , one of their members called 2na fish has a voice that is so morgan freeman like its sick.

    what i like about A.F.R.O is that he is a hip hop as you can come, and by that i mean he is a genuine person representing hip hop to his fullest, i think thats why hip hop is dying out because people aren't genuine no more their whole look to the way they rap and the things they represent in their music is all a front! AFRO KEEP REACHING OUT BROTHER

    That it takes to ball
    Shot call
    Bounce back
    When you take
    A fall.
    Life is beautiful
    When it's
    Rough and raw

  • @davidnicolas8019
    @davidnicolas8019 Рік тому +1

    I really appreciate the experimental nature of this. It blows all of those cookie cutter rappers out of the water. We live in a time when anyone can grab a drum machine and make something dope, but to bring it to the next level in the sense that it is forcing the musicians and artists to “nail it” and that brings a whole new dynamic to the production. I’m super impressed with this technique and I hope more artists challenge themselves to create perfection.
