    imagine travelling across the world,
    in front of a live audience,
    to go on national TV,
    on one of the most famous shows,
    for the first time ever,
    and rapping,
    freestyle,
    with the random suggestions from the audience,
    and absolutely nailing it.
    What a beast.

    How can he possibly do this that quickly off the cuff without even pausing to think, absurdly random topics, setting up whole lines in advance just to deliver the rhyme word at the end, on national TV, all literally without missing a beat??! That has to be the quickest wit I’ve ever seen, hands down. Insane real-time processing power, the way he pulls deep cuts from historical knowledge jesus how is that possible?
