    Hakeem really knows how to work a crowd with his words

      True. But respect has to be given to Hakeem because not only did he hype the crowd but he didn't stoop low. He could've destroyed her by talking about her dad and so on but he didn't. He spoke truth on who he is and his status. I honestly think he deserved the win. Freda's disses were good but Hakeem had style and good rhythms and that's why he won the crowd.

    I think people missed the whole reason why Hakeem won the battle. Jamal told Hakeem that basically Freda would win because she's better with the disses, but Hakeem was better with being an entertainer and getting the crowd hyped up, which is exactly what he did and why they chose him.

    For those wondering why Freda didn't win, the winner was determined by the audience. Earlier in the episode, Jamal told Hakeem that he couldn't beat Freda in a legit rap battle since she was way more talented, but that he had a chance of beating her if he could make himself the crowd favorite; in other words, have the crowd crown him the winner even if Freda's bars were better.

      Tyrel Chenault it’s always been like that 🤷🏻‍♂️ wanna know why Eminem has a huge fan and is a rap god? Because he understands how to hype the crowd and at the same time still deliver the message. Even though now he’s a bit of the wagon he still delivers the message.
      Wanna know why cole is up there along with Kendrick? Because they both know to hype their crowd, they know to steal the crowds ear and still deliver their message. Lyrics aren’t nothing but words in a piece of paper if you don’t have the ears or minds to listen to it. That’s the music business and that’s what separates artists from the underground rappers.

      If this was just a rap battle with established rules of how it would be judged, then yes. Freda would have won, but it wasn't. It was an exhibition to determine who would take the last name of Lyon, and move forward with the company. Freda's strength is battle rap, while Hakeem's is showmanship. He used his skills to win over the crowd, and that's the most important part. What good is all of that clever lyricism if nobody cares enough to listen? You need to get the crowd's attention, then floor them with your talent. Plenty of talented people in the world that will never make it to the big time just because nobody knows who they are.

      Not only that his rythms at the end wasnt even about freda. It was about saying who he lines up to be next as. N my name is Hakeem bullet to the Lyon. That wasnt even punchline, no body at all. N nothing toward freda. That was a total lost. He was rap performing not rap battling. There's a very big difference.

      no he wouldn't you obviously don't watch rap game were people actually battle I seen lyrical rappers lose battles because the other one hyped the crowd better look up deetranada vs Nova than say the same thing she only lost because she refused to dress girly she's a tomboy they didn't want giving the crown to but because the other person did fan servise he won

      @@xoxo.mierra the second verse wasnt battlin at all it was just rappin. When its a battle rap its not about what sound better its about who had better bars and disses. Freda destroyed him both verses. His first verse was alright but the second verse was trash for a diss verse. Long story short Freda one by alot. Its like the Canibus vs ll cool j battle. Canibus won battle wise but ll had the better sounding songs so everyone thought he one
