And thank God! Rap wasn't dead, but it's on life support. Thank you for bringing the essence of Hip Hop back. I mean, there are others (not mainstream), but I appreciate you guys. Hell...can I help you guys in any way to hype everything? Seriously, I'm a 44-year old Marine Corps veteran with a Mass Communication (broadcasting/journalism) degree, minor in PR. I'm an artist. You name it. Let me be a part of the rebirth!!!!
Peace, ya’ll! Thank you for the love!! Peace to my big homie Gift of Gab!! A true honor... Love ya, R! 2022 edit: Fly high, Gab!! It was an honor rocking with you on this joint big bro!! Always wanted to work with you, and I'm more than happy that it came true. I know you're up there tearing down stages in the sky with Sean P and DOOM, and many other late greats. Much love, Gab. - young FRO
Had the honor of filming and editing this video! Working with these legends of REAL hip hop was a great honor! Shout out to Gab, RA, and Afro for keeping it real. -Aithen (The Jokerr)
Gift of Gab will and always be my favorite musical artist ever. He came through my town on my birthday this passed year, but I was violently ill and couldn't go to the show. I was sad for a loooong time after that haha.
still, exists? lol you say that like it wasn't around or something... real hip-hop has always been around... only growing stronger day by day. you just gotta know where to look. which is honestly my favorite thing about it... keeps the fakes and fake followers away.. ironically it sorts itself out .damn underground hip-hop is just fkn.. awesome lol
@@CantThinkOfAHandleSoItsThis Its not accurate comparing modern trap to homosexual and transgender individuals. I dislike modern trap and mumble rap as well, but the two are nowhere near related. It honestly just comes off as you wanting to shoehorn your bigoted idealogies into something completely unrelated to them.
@@CantThinkOfAHandleSoItsThis I have seen his videos, and I see nothing about them that makes them homosexual. Like I said I really dislike trap but each and every person is allowed to like it. Hell, you are proving my point. Also, who are you to dictate who is a hiphop head or not? I have listened to hiphop my entire life, but a homophobic/transphobic jackoff in the UA-cam comments of a music video is telling me I'm not? Okay.
Irwin Munoz He doesn't need info to state that you don't need to be a rapper to criticize, which is true; we all can judge the music. What are you gaining from asking what bars he has though lol, what bars do you have?
I've come back to this every week for the last 5 years. Sometimes thrice, bitches. That's how good it is. Their flow is insane, man. Hitting rhythms most drummers can't.
agentblank122 what is so complex & mind blowing about these lyrics? They talk about sex, money & drugs & talking shit in this very song just over boom beats & at a faster pace. Y'all can't accept that other people are just not into this & it's boring to them, get over it
agentblank122 bro I clearly don't care about this like you do but if you really think that read RAs lyrics he says some basic degenerate lyrics about all that & in a lot of other songs, again just at a faster pace. Even Afro mentions drinking & fucking girls amongst him just bragging about how good he is at rapping lol the point is it's all relatively the same across the board with mainstream & underground. But underground fans have this holier then thou complex
because the masses like dumbed watered down bullshit. they don't like thinking too hard they want music they can just hear not music you have to actually listen too. thats why people like RA are underground. It's the nature of the beast.
I have to admit this comment was hilarious to me. But I don't like the putting down other rappers or their style or whatever. To me people just like what they like. Not because they're stupid or anything. But, yeah. Thanks for the laugh
u dunno wad iz reel hip hop.i'm feelin like 17 years ago when i understand why i love hip hop music ;). this flow like the oldschools. so shut the fuck up. peace n have a nice day,blessing from Hungary.
Damn.. whoever did the visuals on this is creative as hell. Didn't need fancy expensive props and bitches to make a dope music video. Some cardboard boxes, couple of sharpie, and some IMAGINATION is all u need. Dope shit.,👍
Fuck that it needs to be everywhere... I wanna turn on the news and hear that shit playin... I wanna turn on some looney toons and hear that shit playin... I wanna turn on my fuckin coffee pot and hear that shit playin... but ya it definitely needs to be on Spotify though
Kinda like solos in jazz, all of them have their appeal and one can pick and choose which one, but ultimately they all just different instruments and none of them could have had the effect they did in the time they did without the other, and that's what makes this such a fucking banger.
I gotta say, these dudes are all great by themselves and for what they have done with their music, but all together they are like a perfect trio. Gab as the ultimate legend and wicked flow, R.A. has the funny lines and the overall bravado vibe, and AFRO is the new kid on the block being taught by these two while having his own style and spectacular rhyme scheme. If you think about these guys are kinda alike and can match each other bar for bar but they all bring something a little different to the table. I would love to see them drop a full album together.

If you know what these words mean... then it gets hard to listen to this. There is no meaning to these lyrics and there is no story just rhyming of complex words and beautiful flow which I will compliment them on.... still better than mainstream however
[Verse 1: Gift of Gab] Enter my imminent energy element, I am an entity walking Ahead of the pack. I really am out of my head and it's evident that I will never Be able to ever quit.

Gift of Gab: 10/10 Verse A-F-R-O: 10/10 Verse R.A. The Rugged Man: 10/10 Verse Literally one of the best Rap Collaborations ever. top 10 definitely. (Side Note: RA Rugged Man is the only Rapper who can rock a fedora and Not look like an idiot)
noah, the rejoice! album? i disagree, but to each his own, i guess. gog is my fave mc. on another note, carter 5 dropped last night and it's hotter than whatever else dropped these last couple months. just my opinion. go figure!
RIP Gift of Gab. One of the best to ever touch a microphone. And made all types of good music and great lyrics. He truly loved music, hip hop, and lyricism.
Not often do I hear a track where every artist puts together a verse so well, everyone had something crazy to spit, and I absolutely love how goofy the video is, making rap fun again, my type of music
Those rappers who use all those props and still can't turn out good music (69 and Lil pump lookin at you), look at what these guys did with a drone, some sheets, cardboard, a sharpie, some google eyes, a cameraman, and a mic. This is quality music.
@@d0rkbug in an attempt to be civilized, what don't you like about this song? I quite enjoyed the flow, and I felt it flowed better than people like 6ix9ine or Migos.
@@AnomAnomMTG its just a bit boring (imo most fast rap is) theres not rly any punchline or anything in the lyrics its just like they all got a rhyming dictionary and made a song w it
@@d0rkbug fair enough, I will admit the lyrics are a bit lackluster, I do still like the flow of the song and the very simple design. In the space of fast rap, which, I agree with you, is not the best, I think they did better than some, keeping a cool theme throughout the video and having a better flow imo.

Been following RA for years now. I had to dig around back in the day when I first discovered his music to find Crustified Dibbs and it still stands up. The tunes fuckin' bounce. I wouldnt even want to hear it remastered or anything. Mad respect for the art. This track is hard AF. Big up.
Gift of Gab has just passed away on June 18. So lucky I've listened to his music before he died, thanks to Hip-Hop Universe. R.I.P. Timothy Parker 1971-2021

FACTS
Mumble rap fans thinks real rap songs have boring instrumentals. I mean instrumentals like this are freaking fuego. And so are the lyrics.
agentblank122 what is so complex & mind blowing about these lyrics? They talk about sex, money & drugs & talking shit in this very song just over boom beats & at a faster pace. Y'all can't accept that other people are just not into this & it's boring to them, get over it
agentblank122 bro I clearly don't care about this like you do but if you really think that read RAs lyrics he says some basic degenerate lyrics about all that & in a lot of other songs, again just at a faster pace. Even Afro mentions drinking & fucking girls amongst him just bragging about how good he is at rapping lol the point is it's all relatively the same across the board with mainstream & underground. But underground fans have this holier then thou complex
I just love that there is a random dude dancing on the top of the hill
That's glorious
Shooting electricity out of his fingers
Honestly I've seen weirder things like that but it doesn't happen often
Why can’t these guys blow up instead of people like Tekashi69.
They didn't sell their souls for fame
the fuck you mean Rugged man is a rap veteran who did shit with biggie
because the masses like dumbed watered down bullshit. they don't like thinking too hard they want music they can just hear not music you have to actually listen too. thats why people like RA are underground. It's the nature of the beast.
BC takashi is a pretty young lady
You can listen to the music regardless. It doesn't matter.
RIP Gab 🫡
AFRO is only 20. He is only 20 years of age people and already rhyming with legends. This kid has a very good career in his future.
He's not 20
He is.
20 isn't considered a kid
If you consider the age of the people he's rapping with and his recent entry to professional rapping industry yes he is a kid!
Yea hes a very close friend of mine i knew b4 he blew up, gas been rapping since he was 14 and signed @ 17
It frustrates me how everyone is sleeping on this piece of art.
Amen

Oh man, I replayed this tons of times!
Welcome to the underground
Haha, same reaction here. Damn, this is good.
Did the same dude. Found this randomly and its just going on repeat.
Insert some stupid joke about fire.
R.I.P Timothy!
I clicked on a weird rapper playlist. This isn't wierd, this is talent
Devilslayer Doom just the video is considered wired1 i guess
it's considered weird, because of today's rap
Because having actual Talent is weird. Anybody can mumble like lil Punk with a dick in the mouth.
Actual talented rappers are foreign and "weird" for some of today's rap audience.
I have to admit this comment was hilarious to me. But I don't like the putting down other rappers or their style or whatever. To me people just like what they like. Not because they're stupid or anything. But, yeah. Thanks for the laugh
That guy dancing is legendary
I played this song for my dog and now he’s a wolf 🔥
Bobby Knuckles damnnnnnnnnnnn lmfao
I played this song for my goldfish....now he is a shark
I played this song for Kevin Hart, now he's LeBron James.
wolfmatic Kevin Hart is awesome already
@@SagetheMC I actually prefer him to LeBron James. For a moment I thought I was being funny... Should've gone with Cosb... Nevermind.
RIP Gift of Gab. His flow was UNCANNY!
This is another lyrical classic collaboration. I love it when rappers actually rap.
A-F-R-O was the kid that was barely noticed, then became everyone’s best friend
actually, A-F-R-O was a bully when he was younger, so his mom made him read the dictionary, which explains his vocabulary.

This is what Hip hop should be about NOT like those new clowns ruining the genre
Yea
richard Lai new schoolers need to get educated
There are exactly 11 people who have no taste (see thumbs downs). It's crazy - I feel like there are people who just go around hating everything
u dunno wad iz reel hip hop.i'm feelin like 17 years ago when i understand why i love hip hop music ;). this flow like the oldschools. so shut the fuck up. peace n have a nice day,blessing from Hungary.
Money will always steer the listeners better judgment. It's those who aren't fooled and can't brain washed by the bullshit who keep hip hop alive
R.I.P. Gift of Gab
the flow scientists. RA is not human
you know RA ain't from this plane of reality. suffolk county my foot! dude destroys every track he cameos on let alone his own work.
he is too good also
Damn.. whoever did the visuals on this is creative as hell. Didn't need fancy expensive props and bitches to make a dope music video. Some cardboard boxes, couple of sharpie, and some IMAGINATION is all u need. Dope shit.,👍
And your grandmas blankets
WORD
Jokerr, all around fantastic artist. He puts out fantastic music as well.
This is probably one of the best music video I have seen.
Just keep it real right
RIP I had to come back to this song
R.I.P Gift Or Gab
Another brother lost to the studio in the sky. RIP Gift of Gab
This needs to be in Spotify asap this is AMAZING!
Fuck that it needs to be everywhere... I wanna turn on the news and hear that shit playin... I wanna turn on some looney toons and hear that shit playin... I wanna turn on my fuckin coffee pot and hear that shit playin... but ya it definitely needs to be on Spotify though
How could anyone not like all three of the verses they killed it
My favorite highschool teacher played this on the TV during study hall. Dude was the coolest guy for that
All three of them murdered this song! Best collaboration.
Check it out on other platforms as well: ONErpm.lnk.to/FreedomFormFlowing
All 3 are dope
And neither smashed the other
They just killed it together :)
Gotta love the optimism... But R.A. = winner 🏆
I personally think A F R O is best
Blackalicious is the classic one though, he's been around for decades.
Kinda like solos in jazz, all of them have their appeal and one can pick and choose which one, but ultimately they all just different instruments and none of them could have had the effect they did in the time they did without the other, and that's what makes this such a fucking banger.
Agreed
I gotta say, these dudes are all great by themselves and for what they have done with their music, but all together they are like a perfect trio. Gab as the ultimate legend and wicked flow, R.A. has the funny lines and the overall bravado vibe, and AFRO is the new kid on the block being taught by these two while having his own style and spectacular rhyme scheme. If you think about these guys are kinda alike and can match each other bar for bar but they all bring something a little different to the table. I would love to see them drop a full album together.
amen to this
Tru
A full album with these guys would be great
i agree my friend 👌
A
there needs to be more hip hop like this tbh in 2024
LYRICS=🔥🔥🔥🔥
Flow=💯💯💯
Beat=💪💪💪
SICK TRACK
The beat has room for improvement but overall sick song
Here goes the lyrics :
Ladies and gentlemen, yeah
Alright, let's bring to the stage
(gift of gab)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Gift of Gab]
Enter my imminent energy element
I am an entity walking ahead of the pack
I really am out of my head and it's evident
That I will never be able to ever quit
Melanin fellow with helluva relevance
What isn't elegant, metaphors ready to set it off
Dead on your pettier levels
I'm ready and able to murder and tear emcees
All into pieces and murking embarrassees
Honoring easily crumbs
Chill it easily comes like breathing
From deep in the seat of your lungs
I creep to the beat of a drum
That's unique to me
As I keep it a hundred
Leaping through regions and leading the dumb
And feeble emcees sinking deep in the mud (the mud)
While some of them keeping it thug
Like there is a leak in their mug
We better start reaching above
We headed for economic
Decay what you thinking of bro
I'm creeping beneath [?]
The surface will purpose I'm healing delinquents of
What emceeing should be
It's no interest of me if their mission is weak
And they're keeping it dumb
Keep sleeping, I'm tweaking the frequency of
Emceeing and being a piece of the puzzle
Rhythm we seeking the freedom and what
It means to be free and be equal as one
The nation is bobbing and weaving
Afraid of the awful and evil
Don't make it their power to lead you
Away from the power proceeding creation
See all of the leaders to take us up
Out of the season
I hang with the laws of receiving
And giving and living
If y'all are believing
And evident knowledge is breathing
And [?] and [?] and topple the greedy
(it's indeed a great pleasure to present
To you at this particular time-)
(word is bond) X 4
[Verse 2: A-F-R-O]
One two 'fro Thizzle
Free flow unh yo
The path of the righteous person
Laughing and tired of hurtin'
I'm asking erratic emphatic combatative idiot
When is it past the millenium
Pasture rising to surface
Snatching your wifey's purses
I'm a little brother like Rakim
When I gotta rhyme on the stage for a good amount of time
I'm grabbing the mic in an urgent
Smashing the dime for certain
Splashing the ice with bourbon
Fro gon' spit so crazy
Hoes wanna give Fro a baby
Crashing me driving you're burning
I rap, you rewind it
The speakers ain't working
I flap in the night at your jeep and you swervin'
I'm black with the eyes of a serpent
Back with a knife of purchase
Immaculate rhymes and the heat is conversin'
Attackin' the spine on your evil you worship
Here with a vengeance of fear appears in the mirror
Sentence you be the apprentice
Fro on the track with Gab and R
Combined with the beat that we murkin'
Drama unraveled no commence
Lama in the shadows no defense
Calm in the battle, hoe's intense
Honey dips and them silly broads they got to do me
I throw dick for money clips and the melly cars
Is not usually fo' shit
The ether rider the frequent feeder
Feeble freedom fighter with dope steez
The heat defier the reason he beast
Cause he admire the OGs
(and now) (what?)
(R.A. The Rugged Man)
[Verse 3: R.A. The Rugged Man]
Yo, Kubrick ride with us
Rivals fighting five of us
Bitches slide with us
My dick is harder than elephant ivory tusks
Baphomet bison bite the dust
Slime and crust, life of lust
Tyson biting, knife slicing guts
Sniffing cyber dust
Filling their mind with the hatred and jealousy
Fro and the Rugged like Mayweather / Ellerbe
Rakim and Eric B, check out my melody
Duckin' a felony, nothing they tellin' me
Never forget 'em, I send 'em to heaven
I went independent position
I been in again and again
And I'm ruling the throne
It will never be ending the message
And lesson I'm sending is killing civilians in Yemen
The bigger the spending the people pretending
The freedom of speech is it hateful offending
The weapon possession the second amendment
It's me
I'm back bitches
Gift of Gab, Blackalicious
You could watch that Harry Potter Radcliffe rap his shit
Like when I gotta drop and it's hip hop
And it don't stop with the whole block
And the hoes hot
Do the windmill, do the wop
Do the robot, flow hot, never go pop
No shot, soul sock
Diggin' the dick in a nun, hun could blow cock
At the church pope Benedict flopped
The white flame Night Train name James Brown
But the bitches be riding my dick like greyhound
I ain't playin' with no gimmick
When they faking every minute and I take it to the limit
And they aching when I'm in it
When I'm making an exhibit is it entertaining is it?
Hey president race bigot
Slow deadbeat James van Bebber reign forever
Act like a dick I'll beat a pussy til he change gender
Switchin' launchin' the rocket and leakin' their brain on the ceiling
Revealing opinion is sinnin' the fish in the sea
And the birds in the heavens
We living and given dominion
And in the beginning the women I've been in
The devil is grinning
The end of the inning, the evil
And tricking the murder
Religion the media
Spinning this pain that I'm bringing
I'm out.
If you know what these words mean... then it gets hard to listen to this. There is no meaning to these lyrics and there is no story just rhyming of complex words and beautiful flow which I will compliment them on.... still better than mainstream however
MrLuckyMuffin its brag rap showing off how good they are
They didn't name the song "Freedom Form Flowing" for nothing.
There is plenty of meaning in these lyrics ya dunce
thank you so much bro
Rappers are rapping again, thank the lord !
R.A. Sounds incredible 💯💯😎🎶💜😎🎶💜✊🏻💯💯💯😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥

Holy Trinity is a lil barnacle song
I only heard RA breath 3 times during that verse. Possibly the most impressive breath control in rap.

the ambassadors of hiphop
The verses of A-F-R-O and RA sends chillllssss down my spine
Returned to the essence, rest in peace Gab, your voice lifted so many. A giant who deserved his flowers.
Listen I'm tired of you talking about like I'm dead weird adderal dead I'm sick of that s*** so I can get out of your goddamn sycophant nature

This literally depressed me
Yeah but more fame doesn't mean move love. We got passion for this hip hop thing. Memes come and go but legends never die.
Been following RA for years now. I had to dig around back in the day when I first discovered his music to find Crustified Dibbs and it still stands up. The tunes fuckin' bounce. I wouldnt even want to hear it remastered or anything. Mad respect for the art. This track is hard AF. Big up.
Marcus Mandible Soundbombing Vol. 1 & 2 made me a fan...

He was homies with Biggie from way back. He is also a Republican... Interesting dude, that's for sure.
