@@BlackFaithProduction LMAOOOOO you named industry puppets and thought you did something 💀 not one out of those three come off the top, no written, no memorization. Beats changed in the past decade and so did flows, so that’s probably why you vibin with the new sound more but you prolly like 15, so🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
One of my buddies can tap for like 8-10 mins straight as I throw random words at him. It’s pretty amazing especially since he can do it with or without a beat
You can really tell the difference between pre-rehearsed freestyles and off-the-top ones. This was pure freestyle like I haven't heard in a while. Lupe killled it!
At 3:14, there's a double entendre/triple entrendre when he says "Everything you bad at I do so well and I eat the whole beat, then put it on sell/cell. That means I put it out to see. You'll never get it back, its only coming back to me." He's saying to his competition that if they rap to this beat, they will do so bad that he will have to eat the whole beat. Then, he will sell the beat or make it get locked in a cell. But, at the same time he's figuratively selling the beat or locking the beat because he owns procession of the beat. I don't know if Lupe came with that line off the top of his head, but if he did he's a fucking genius. Written or not written, to come up wit a line like that is incredible lyricism
I dont know... Kendrick can take you to his life and the situation he came from.. bring you right into his world. Lupe can never have that context in his story telling. Then we can actually get into lyrical compositions.. internal rhyme schemes.. and Kendrick edges ahead. If you are going on what you personally like better? Sure... but when you get analytical with it... Kendrick is hard to approach for most.
@@dootdoot1867 storytelling I'll give Kendrick that. But if you're giving rhyme schemes to Kendrick too I gotta say you might only listen to old Lupe. Check out tetsuo & youth or Drogas Wav. Lyrically, Kendrick ain't touching either of those albums. Imo Drogas Wav is the best album ever in terms of pure lyrical skill (not overall, I even like gkmc more). Overall, both artists in my top 5 I love both but I just wish Lupe would get more recognition especially new Lupe
@@MrFlameRad Again, if you are writing songs based on just rhyming words and offering un associated metaphor after another? Sure. If we want to go to who is the best rap song writer currently? It is hard to mess with MF Doom. but again.. A Big difference from rapping like that... To rapping With that song composition and rhyme scheme while actually conveying a message that transcends the rhymes being made purely for rhyme sake. Kendrick get's the hype because he is able to use the craft to convey a message/story that stretches outside of the culture and brings more in. Personally, This is my favorite writing composition from Lupe. and it is from like 2007? Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] I'm fearless, now hear this, I'm earless And I'm peerless, that means I'm eyeless Which means I'm tearless, which means my iris Resides where my ears is, which means I'm blinded But I'ma find it, I can feel its nearness But I'ma veer, so I don't come near Like a chicken or a deer, but I remember I'm not a listener or a seer so my windshield smear Here you steer, I really shouldn't be behind this Clearly cause my blindness The windshield is menstrual, the whole grill is roadkill So trill and so sincere, yeah, I'm both them there Took both pills when the bloke in the trench coat And the locs in the chair had approached him here Made it clear as a ghost or a biter of the throats in the mirror The writer of the quotes for the ghosts Who supplier of the notes to the living Riveting as Rosie, pockets full of posies Given to the mother of the deceased Awake and at war 'til I'm resting in peace Please note the difference in how Lupe even uses his craft. It is more about stretching his vocabulary than it has ever been about speaking about anything significant. It's dope and is great for hip-hop heads... But that is never ever gonna market to people looking for anything deeper or a composition to self identify with.
This is RIDICULOUS!!!!! Lupe is SO underrated. Almost 10 straight minutes off the top of the dome. Most rappers these days could barely do a verse off the top, he did pretty much 3 whole songs... THAT'S an ARTIST!
Woah this is amazing. In the beginning you see him kind of struggle a little bit to get the flow, then he channels it and DAMN it just flows out of him so natural. Respect.
been listening to this shit for years and stiiillll nothing compares to lupe. he killed this shit and no one can top it. lyrical genuies. no. sober lyrical genius
kendrick lamar/kdot doesnt freestyle he spits writtens or already recorded verses usually yet you guys hate on kanye lol and lupe mocking the beats and he actually freestyles
lupe is in my top ten rappers but no one can fuck with akala's fire in the booth 8 minutes of no stop spitting fast and chatting more knowledge in it then any industry American rapper has probably said in a whole album fuck a song
***** only a selected few rappers can do a full album off the top of the head such as prick Jay-z, amazing NAS and of course my favourite Akala, few more but the point put across was good, Akala can compose an album's worth of material in one song which he more or less does. Everybody can debate on what and who's the best but quite clearly we'd all just be going round in circles, if something is written then it's practically the same as off the dome cause you'd still have to write it in your mind in order to say the word so nothing can be off the dome cause it's still revised either seconds before the vocal or on paper..lol philosophy going on here but never mind, solute all.
a3604cg Jayz doesn't even freestyle whole verses, let alone albums. He does it in small bunches. Like he'll go in and put in a few bars...come out and think some more, then go back in. Nas doesn't freestyle that well from I've listened to. He's still the GOAT IMO lol best absolute freestyler I've listened to is Nocando.
Hell yeah! That's the kind of beats I wanna hear Lupe spit over again. You see how excited and in the zone he got as soon as he heard that one? If "Food & Liquor 2" sounds something like this I just might be able to forget "Lasers"...
The truth can never be abused. The ones that abuse the publicity and give a false image are the ones like lil wayne. Lupe is Lupe and will never get old. That's your opinion that can never be a fact until time proves it so.
He messed up at certain points, not the greatest freestyle I've ever seen, but great stamina though. For an off the top...that content and stamina is impressive.
He was freestyling of the top of his head and his flow was still impeccable and didn't falter once. Lupe is holding the game up right now one of the most innovative, truly talented lyricists about.
When lupe smiles it's like in his head he's like 18 bars ahead and thought of a sick bar
dam
Top 5 lyricist of all time. Lyrically the best rapper alive. Enough said.
idiot
Theres rappers that are not even signed that will body lupe in a face to face battle believe that bra bra
@@fuckdaworld3295 I will believe it when we are in a dimension where that's possible...
Nas?rakim?kiss?
That's some subjective ass shit
westwood is so unimaginative with his beat selections on all of his freestyles
Yeah, but Lupe made them all come to life
ofc he did lol but he deserved better
H•A•M beat is crazy tho
He's actually freestyling. This guy gotta be one of the best freestylers that actually freestyles off the top.
Nah Soulja Boy, Lil Baby, Pooh Shiesty…it’s many better than Lupe now since you wrote this almost a decade ago.
@@BlackFaithProduction LMAOOOOO you named industry puppets and thought you did something 💀 not one out of those three come off the top, no written, no memorization.

They are all nice
THanks guys :)
I wish I could rap like this...man...

@@BlackFaithProduction LOLLLLL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀☠️☠️☠️☠️
one of the most underated rappers ever
He’s no NBA Youngboy but he’s decent.
@@BlackFaithProduction😂

God damn he might be the best off the dome freestyler I've seen.
RIP Lil Snupe
do your homework on charles hamilton
King Los better off the top
@@mrcrackdonald_1 u might b right
Lupe himself will tell you King Los is better off the top than he is but Lupe’s still a great freestyler
His real freestyle’s are better than a lot of people’s fully produced raps
At 3:14, there's a double entendre/triple entrendre when he says "Everything you bad at I do so well and I eat the whole beat, then put it on sell/cell. That means I put it out to see.

Also then put it on sail, that means I put it out to sea
also well/ well as in water well. and sell/ sail / boat in water. that goes together
William Mack didn't catch that, that song is from Watch the Throne which has Jay z on it, maybe its unintentional but it seems ironic
Anthony Celestin smh way to in your yeah
Or eat the whole beet like the vegetable
I never knew what he meant by “no blackberry’s no iPhones none of that.” Then I watched drakes freestyle Hahahaha
Damn lupe, you didnt have to kill them like that!
Here in 2024 to say that Kendrick didn’t come up with “Big Me” but rather it was Lupe in a Westwood Freestyle😂
It's sad people don't realize this guy's potential and lyrics , rather just have a good beat and bullshit lyrics smh
Greatest Of All Time , IMHO
Just being real
***** Yup! Just meet him yesterday it was an honor!
+David C most skilled of all time IMO, not the greatest of all time yet but give him a few years and he will be
People with intelligence and taste do, believe me.
Lupe is the best lyricist of all time.
Kendrick doesn't compare when it comes to freestyles or written verses imo. I prefer Lupe all day.
It's close though. The storytelling is crazy in his records.
I dont know... Kendrick can take you to his life and the situation he came from.. bring you right into his world. Lupe can never have that context in his story telling.

Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
I'm fearless, now hear this, I'm earless
And I'm peerless, that means I'm eyeless
Which means I'm tearless, which means my iris
Resides where my ears is, which means I'm blinded
But I'ma find it, I can feel its nearness
But I'ma veer, so I don't come near
Like a chicken or a deer, but I remember
I'm not a listener or a seer so my windshield smear
Here you steer, I really shouldn't be behind this
Clearly cause my blindness
The windshield is menstrual, the whole grill is roadkill
So trill and so sincere, yeah, I'm both them there
Took both pills when the bloke in the trench coat
And the locs in the chair had approached him here
Made it clear as a ghost or a biter of the throats in the mirror
The writer of the quotes for the ghosts
Who supplier of the notes to the living
Riveting as Rosie, pockets full of posies
Given to the mother of the deceased
Awake and at war 'til I'm resting in peace

Real freestyling is a lost art, props to lupe for actually going off top
Years later and this still leaves me in awe! Given beats that didn’t particularly fit his style and still torched it!
straight up! it’s like, why didnt he hop on more tracks?
THis mans ablums put my mind on blast with poetic justice man..props to Lupe in alot of incredible levels.
I don't think people realize how hard it is to rap off the dome
He said he wants to pray 7 times a day....mashallah bro!
I inspire to be like you and would love to do a song with you one day inshallah
Salams
How the fuck would anyone not like this????
freestyle was great. the beat was a little too loud.
simple: haters
BTW This man went APOCALYPSE on Moment 4 Life
Hes going off top and you can tell his flow is incredible
Woah this is amazing.
In the beginning you see him kind of struggle a little bit to get the flow, then he channels it and DAMN it just flows out of him so natural. Respect.
9 mins of freestyle top of the dome without any water RESPECT. Lupe is keeping hip hop alive.
8:35 through 8:56.. I felt that man, these are bars people! I don't care what nobody says, this is what makes Lu so real and in my opinion the goat.
This dude so underrated
12 years later - here I am again
13 for me
"I hope He make my success last longer than the rest of them or if not keep me more intelligent"... 8:35...The best rapper alive
Every time I watch this it blows my mind
THAT IS A REAL FREESTYLE!!! LUPE FIASCO! YOUR A REAL ARTIST AND I RESPECT YOU!
Metaphorically speaking, Lupe is definitely one of the BEST! He did all this of the dome, dope shit. Give the man respect!
this will never not be amazing. he said it was light work too.. much respect to Chicago’s very own
been listening to this shit for years and stiiillll nothing compares to lupe. he killed this shit and no one can top it. lyrical genuies. no. sober lyrical genius
Bro 13 years for me
Lupe Fiasco is the epitome of a great rapper...
Lupe Is The G.L.O.A.T
Greatest Lyricist Of All Time #fatcs
Round the corner, dressed up, so tight, no like
Un-like, anybody ever, see- too clever
Flowing off top of the dome to who-ever’s beat
That boy GOOD!
respect for a off the dome freestyle don't see many of them anymore
I was contemplating a rap career before I saw/heard this.......I think I'm going to have to retire :)
Love the fact this is 100 views from a million! This is so definitely deserved.
Such a cool and coherent flow straight off the top! Lupe is the truth.
He went off towards the end! Wow!
Omg. He Just Freestyled For 10 minutes. Straight. Respect.
An actual freestyle and Lupé killed it!
*Seek first the kingdom of God and all things shall be given to you*
DAmmmnnnmmmmm!!!!!! Lupe's freestyle is better than all these other WRITTEN shit!!! Flowing annd errrthang!!
thats a dope clock behind him
Yeah that bitch cold
hahaha
kendrick lamar/kdot doesnt freestyle he spits writtens or already recorded verses usually yet you guys hate on kanye lol and lupe mocking the beats and he actually freestyles
Still watching years later Lupe is underated and one of my favorite rappers

bro went fucking crazy on the moment 4 life beat gahh damn
Crazy!! He hit a stride on that one.
Best rapper of this generation...how you preach like this straight off the dome for 8 minutes. Can we say legendary?
damn.. 10 mins straight though..props
"I'm on my deen , you on a deen diet." only muslims will understand that genius line!
as i watch all the westwood freestyles, Lupe and Em are the only ones who really freestyle of the top
The caption should Lupe really real freestyle on westwood
6:55 so sick after that! Lupe's a beast
Hell yeah! That's the kind of beats I wanna hear Lupe spit over again. You see how excited and in the zone he got as soon as he heard that one? If "Food & Liquor 2" sounds something like this I just might be able to forget "Lasers"...
Top 3 no order Lupe, Los, Kendrick
Respect on Los..He's not very well known, but a beast none the less..Wish he was on Westwood haha.
Kendrick doesn't freestyle
Drowzy Meta lol freestyles are off the top of the dome or writtens. If that’s the case 90% of the rap game doesn’t freestyle
This guy needs to have some mercy upon their souls
I knew he was gonna kill because he is Lupe Fiasco.
He seems like one of the few MC's who actually try to go off the top.
anyone know where i can get a uncensored version of these freestyles? Also Lupe Fiasco the G.O.A.T.
You have to download each freestyle individually
Sick. One of the most underrated rappers in the game. A real artist
Wordsmith.
Tim supplied a beat that's ill fitted to lupes style. Lu still killed it tho.
Huge respect for MCs still coming off the dome. Especially MCs as big as Lupe
2019 ?
Still here ... master Lupe !
2021 man!!
Tim Westwood got to be the coolest white guy on the planet
HE GOES IN ON MOMENT FOR LIFE.one of my favorite rappers
you are now listening to a master at work
every beat was horribly wack until Moment For Life
The beat was horrid. But he still delivered!
HAM one of the greatest beats ever made
R.I.P. those beats Lupe murdered them
Lup is a gun! That 3rd beat is amazing, what is it?
nicki minaj - moment for life
6.45 - 9.10 is Way better than the orignal song...
Whats the sweat he's wearing? I need the same thou
lupe fiasco is one of the best rappers to date
Damn off the top
8:40 he got real personal there...
The truth can never be abused. The ones that abuse the publicity and give a false image are the ones like lil wayne. Lupe is Lupe and will never get old. That's your opinion that can never be a fact until time proves it so.
🐐
fire flame spittaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
listening to freestyles is much more appreciative when you can keep in mind & be assured that they're actually FREESTYLING
The first beat's from Jay Z and Kanye's ham
Bars Begin At 6:52 👀
Jayy Brown Hell yeah! He is nice with the flow. Very unique
AMAZING!! theres not too many rappers who can go right off the top for 9 minutes straight word after word
priceless
iceless
homegirl in the background looked like she just wasn't having it
Damn, this is Genius... Nothing was written beforehand, all out of his head on the spot... Lu plays on a different league. peace.
I look up to the cat tho, The Cool (the entire story) was written by a supernatural
Freestyle baby No blueberry,no written, off the dome. For all yall out there. This how it done
Not his kind of beat but he still kills it
That ' XD ' sticker on the clock .. :P
Lupe Is the most lyrical rapper I ever heard. Rappers should be ashamed after listening to him. He is crazy talented.
*Except you be baptized of water and born of the spirit you cannot enter into the kingdom of God*
He messed up at certain points, not the greatest freestyle I've ever seen, but great stamina though. For an off the top...that content and stamina is impressive.
Heartfeltization yea, he’s got better freestyles. those were difficult beats for him, especially the first one.
He was freestyling of the top of his head and his flow was still impeccable and didn't falter once. Lupe is holding the game up right now one of the most innovative, truly talented lyricists about.
I don't like the environment, reminds me of a racist airport lol...
Dead
Bruh this comment is so true. Shit looks like a “random” selection when they’re going through your socks lmaoo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!
This is a REAL freestyle. Like school cafeteria back of the classroom freestyle off the dome. Welcome back to the future. Top 5 easy.
The only rapper I listen to. All time favorite
Lupe really inspires me man... Im only 14 but yet im so touched by his music....
