In my opinion, if you’re fluent in both, it’s easier to freestyle in Spanish than English. So many of the words end with the same combination of syllables. Still impressive nonetheless.
As someone who has rapped bilingual, i can tell you it's easier to rhyme stuff if you have twice as many words at your disposal. It's one of these techniques that looks impressive but is actually a way to decrease difficulty.
LuqmanLSG I’m so glad that Jimmy Fallon has The Roots because I think people forget how important they are to Hip Hop and just how amazing they are as individuals and as an ensemble!!!
At this point I would like to mention that his pinky finger is currently injured as you can see in the video and it STILL has more talent that both of us combined.
Black Thought... That rap was concise, cohesive, and told a story with three totally random words... People notice the barbarian/Targaryen, but the way he set it up with run like forest and burn all y’all... the word play... man is on another level. Absolute legend.
I’ve just watched all three of these in a row and every single line from Tarik sounds like a legitimate verse. How can anyone think of things like that on the spot??
He's a pro. Lin-Manuel is pro...well everything really, but Black Thought is a professional rapper. He's grown up perfecting his craft and constantly involved in freestyle battles.
I love how Lin Manuel dropped chancleta in twice. Then threw In how horrible trump is for forgetting Puerto Rico. He is so talented and seems so down to earth👏👍
Lin's awesome but can anything ever beat when he improved during the Hamilton in Puerto Rico show telling the lady not to film the show and then slipped right back into the show?
Of course, he's just shedding skin while sleeping on the mic. That's what's happening, next thing you know the mans burning out the whole venue with another 11 minute incredible freestyle.
Do you follow Lin on Twitter?? I'm pretty sure it's because he hurt his finger - the nail going black and didn't want it to look weird but I am not 100% sure. Check it out but I agree it is so adorable
-vanny- bitch you sound dumb asf of course actual rappers would be better at doing freestyles it’s there job to rap it’s just impressive that a normal dude can do this😂
So either lin had an energy drink or he's alexander hamilton reincarnated because we know that alexander's blood is replaced with energy juice. I'm going with the second option
@@QueenofWheels dude I'm Cuban stupit lol. What I'm saying is she sounds like Dora the explorer the way she explained it check out Dora the grown up on UA-cam then you will understand.
The fact that he can improvise in both spanish and english is just admirable
Yeah, it's like he's bilingual! Crazy!
@Tonythestark he Is he's fluent in Spanish and English 😂. He's Puerto Rican

"You ready for this?"
"NO! Let's go!"
Me every day of my life.
Nora Gómez same
Same
Me when I have to get outta bed :’)
Lol somehow same
I read this as he said it no joke
I love that lin’s first thought when it came to flip flops was when your grandma hits you with the chancla
Yes
But then calls it el chancleta. Don't know why he messed up the article??
@@jacobortega2786 Ikr!
Lol ikr
Jacob Ortega The same thing. I would use sometimes chancla other times chancleta. It’s interchangeable.
Someone gave Lin an espresso shot with 5 sugars and it shows
One cream 5 sugar lol
Or he *really* had to pee
because of the espresso.
@@user-mk9cz1io2l OMG YES! 👍
He must inject it into his veins every morning with breakfast and miraculously not die.
“The realest barbarian,
I burn all a y’all,
Daenaerys Targaryen.”
HOW 🤯 🤯🤯
That was awesome

Who is daenaerys Targaryen
@@ariasotolongo8437
Who are you?
@@ariasotolongo8437 one of the main characters in Game of the Throne who is also called the mother of dragons
Everyone be sleeping on Tarik. I don't even watch Game of Thrones but Daenerys line got me shook.
He even hit a bar with those first lines! "...*loofah*, still I never let a *scrub* get the last word". Damn this boi sick.
I didn’t even know Daenerys was from Game of Thrones cuz ion watch it. I was so lost, thank you for clarifying 😂
I was shook
Everyone be sleeping on Tariq so bad that they can't spell Tariq
Man that's black thought hes one of the best rappers of all time
Lin Manuel Miranda jumping up and down saying “aagh” is a mood 💜
FangirlingAnd LovingIt Lin over all is an overall mood
You can tell Lin has been working on a project again when his hamilton under eye bags are back.
Iliketoread they are filming the in the height movie atm and he’s on set and is the piragua guy in it
I don’t believe the man is ever not working on a project
i’m excited
Honestly, he's non-stop
Being weird is normal,
True, he really needs to take a break, and say no to this.
Lin has more talent in his pinky finger than I have in my entire body
At this point I would like to mention that his pinky finger is currently injured as you can see in the video and it STILL has more talent that both of us combined.
@@orfeassiozos1575 yeah I saw on twitter he hurt it that's why he painted his fingernails black to match
I was wondering if there was a reason his nails where black.
Robyn Slater SAME
Robyn Slater he makes me cringe soooo hard for some reason.
Notice how he said loofah, then “I never let a SCRUB get the last word.” 🤯
He’s a godamn genius
He also tied in Forrest Gump (running like Forrest) with forest fires (burning y'all down)
Orlando Barba and the next line is “As far as the BAR” (soap bar)
What?! What?! 😱. Dayuuuummm!
My brain could never. Mad props to Lin and Tarik.
Madison Holtze because you’re a dumbass
Madison Holtze it was rehearsed
Multiple Tony awards and one of the most respected and beloved writers/musicians in the world, still extremely humble
Lin’s flip flop freestyle had me WEAK. *TOO GOOD.*
Haley Griswold disgusting
I'd get you WEAK without that flip flop, just the "freestyle".
SKYYLINEGAMING we’re just saying it’s good because we can’t do it
Laughed out so loud 😂
this video should be called “the same as the other two but everyone has a beard ”
Lol
I was thinking the same thing!
AHAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS
When i read your comment I read otter instead of other and I am really tired right now and don’t know why that is so funny.
Number of people that died when Lin said he wanted to hit the White House with chancletas😂😂
\/\/\/\/
I screamed "OOOOOOH" in the train
GO TRUMP!
@@toniannsmith139 like go away trump or yay go trump??????????
iron heart BOOOOOOURNS
@@avellowo ???
I’m kinda sad Tarik didn’t get another freestyle
I’m kinda sad that you spelt Tariq as Tarik
It's Tariq
He’s a beast!
*CHANCLETAS* our favorite word only when our moms don't hit us with those 😂
Yes
HaqAttack _ 9 a flip flop. but spanish.
HaqAttack _ 9 h e l l
If i understand correctly, aren't they typically wooden?
SYKRAL Do you think people who speak Spanish live in jungles or something?

im OBSESSED 😭😩
Yess I was trying to see if someone said ittt
Wow I just noticed that!
oh my godddd
Lin is so cute and energetic in this it looks like he just had five cups of coffee and I’m LIVING for it
You can tell Lin has been working on a project again when his hamilton under eye bags are back.
Lin is the only guest that can actually play this game, he’s so confident it’s crazy. Everyone else stutters and hesitates 😂
I mean, you've got to have some confidence going up against Black Thought. He's the king
Black Thought...
That rap was concise, cohesive, and told a story with three totally random words...
People notice the barbarian/Targaryen, but the way he set it up with run like forest and burn all y’all... the word play... man is on another level.
Absolute legend.
Lin has more talent in his cut off ponytail than I’ll ever have
I love these so much. Mind mind is continuously blown by people who can freestyle and Lin and Tarik are some of the best.
I’ve just watched all three of these in a row and every single line from Tarik sounds like a legitimate verse. How can anyone think of things like that on the spot??
I kept hoping they would give him a second round each time
He's a pro. Lin-Manuel is pro...well everything really, but Black Thought is a professional rapper. He's grown up perfecting his craft and constantly involved in freestyle battles.
Aww some of Lin’s nails are painted ❤️ Also Lin talking about a chancleta had me dead😂💀
Lili he tweeted something saying that he painted them cause he like smashed his finger and his nail turned black
I love how Lin Manuel dropped chancleta in twice. Then threw In how horrible trump is for forgetting Puerto Rico. He is so talented and seems so down to earth👏👍
Saying a word twice in a freestyle usually makes it a lot less impressive. And hey, better than what the asshat Biden would end up doing
When Lin's painted nails look better than mine...
Thank god, I thought I was seeing things
Marissa Smith it’s them Freddie Mercury nails 😭 and I thought I couldn’t love him more
Lin with painted nails is my life tho
His nails on fleek
Same
Why does his side profile kinda look like Tony Stark wtf
I can't unsee it now 😂
I was thinking the same thing
OMG YES I was thinking the *exact* same thing!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait youre right...
LITERALLY
No one :
Lin manuel : UAAAAAGH
Whaaaaaaa?
when lin-manuel miranda said "look around" in that second round, i really thought of "look around, look around how lucky we are to be alive right now"
Lin's awesome but can anything ever beat when he improved during the Hamilton in Puerto Rico show telling the lady not to film the show and then slipped right back into the show?
"Lady filming in the 4th row, please stop it"

coloopereyraa black?
Audrey, Kate and Aishli Vlogsss his name is Black Thought
Patrick Hare ohhhhh
“Your gramma hit you with la chancleta” oof 😅
Black thought is going easy on them. He ain't trying to burn the mic with his words.
Haile Hatcher for real
Right. He and the roots are legendary
Of course, he's just shedding skin while sleeping on the mic. That's what's happening, next thing you know the mans burning out the whole venue with another 11 minute incredible freestyle.

What are you doing over in this part of the fandom world-
-Brian’s Clogs
"The mic is too expensive to drop" hahahaha Lin is Lit! ❤
Jimmy Fallon jumping in the background is me whenever Lin says anything
LMM never fails to make me smile.
The man is walking Seratonin.
“pretty scared about what’s going on in the white house”
honestly same
Exceptional freestyle rap Mr Miranda You were stellar with Tarik
"Are you ready for this?"
"No, let's go!"
Anyone needs a Lin-Manuel Miranda in life😂
I love Lin's nails 😂😂😂
Finally!! Someone reconized his nails!
Gay

Like me :D
BTW HIS NAILS ARE ADORABLE 😍❤
Dang his nail most still be messed up.

My friend is obsessed with Hamilton so I always watch Lin Manuel Miranda and send it to her 😂
I need friends like you
You are the friend we all need
I need you in my life 😂

Aren’t they painted black? I’m trying to make sure.
Blackthought is one of the most underrated Mc's ever.
Lin Manuel is the freakin King of freestyle
pls listen to actual rappers ... lin is not even near the king of freestyle
@@-vanny-5445 frfr
Supernatural is the goat of freestyle
Black thought actually is
-vanny- bitch you sound dumb asf of course actual rappers would be better at doing freestyles it’s there job to rap it’s just impressive that a normal dude can do this😂
He is literally my favorite celebrity in the world. And I will always be thankful for Hamilton
I could listen to those two going back an forth for hours
Yes! They need like a cypher segment wit more badass freestylers 💜
4:06 When Lin said"look around", my first reaction was shouting out" How lucky we are to be alive right now"
Seeing this pop up on my feed might be the nicest surprise of 2019
How the hell much caffeine did that tiny man snort? Love the genius anyhow.
I saw "Lin-Manuel Miranda" and "freestyle" and I just... AHH
OF COURSE LIN GETS PUERTO RICO XDD
I think Lin would be a great competitor for that Name That Song Challenge game. Crush Jimmy, Lin, crush him.
I read that as Jeremy Lin😂
So either lin had an energy drink or he's alexander hamilton reincarnated because we know that alexander's blood is replaced with energy juice.
I'm going with the second option
THIS MAN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE AND I DONT EVEN KNOW HIM ❤️
omg thanks for all the likes guys! also the replies 😂
That's Alexander Hamilton!!
@@slugbrr I know him, that can't be...
Adrianna B that’s that little guy who spoke to me...
All those years ago.. What was it.. 85??
That poor man, they're gonna eat him alive!
Lin finally looks well rested that poor man
I work in optometry and when he said blue blockers I lost it.
i love how lin’s freestyle rap is so socially relevant truly a genius
This is one segment in Fallon where I know for a fact that is NOT rehearsed. Lin and Tariq wouldn't allow it to be so! Scorching! 🔥
Jimmy: "Are you ready for this?"
Lin: *squeaking voice* "No!"
Me: What a mood.
You guys are the best! This is amazing!
From the moment he said "grandmother", I knew he was about to say "chancleta" 🤣
lin:"im a straight man"
also him: *does the gay hand thingy untill starts rapping"
AND HIS NAILS ARE PAINTED
💅💅
Hand gestures don't equal homosexuality?? Also what does having painted nails have to do with that?
This man is so talented I almost couldn’t watch in fear of feeling worthless.
3:33 Look at Lin’s face change when he notices Puerto Rico, now that is dedication
I love how Lin included chancleta in every rhyme
Ok Dora the explorer lol "chancleta Is flip flop in Spanish".

4:04
Lin: Look around
Me: AT HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW
Lin: Those look like some awful guys
Me: Oh....
He looks like tony stark 2.0 lmao im dying
I have a feeling if Lin ran the whole world everything would be ok and we all would be rapping by age of 3
the entire class before an exam:
"alright, you ready for this?"
"NO"
Seriously Black Thought is the best freestyle rapper in the game - maybe ever
Freestyle Love Supreme is in a College Humor sketch about who has the best interns in the office. Lin KILLS IT.
4:45 Hes literally about to break his own finger lmao
I wish yall could see me when he rhymes between spanish and english like OOF OMG HELLPPPP MEEEE
“Your grandmother would hit you with that el chancleta!” BAHAHAHA I’M DYING 🤣
Jimmy Fallon: * invites lil pump to playbythis game*
Lil Pump: * mumbles the words on the board in triplets*
I love how Lin is just running around the stage like a three year old the entire time
2:48 I thought he was gonna say *Dracarys* after rigorous. That would be dope.
He actually did say Dracarys, not rigorous. "As far as the bar, its just Dracarys". So basically his bars are fire is what hes saying.
rewatched this again and just noticed Lin Manuel Miranda looks like Ironman lol
Omg yes!!
✋🏼👊🏼😃❤️ Flip floppin good old times chillin with Jimmy and the Roots busting out crazy cool rhymes. ☮️🙏🏼
Ok but the beginning with the jumping and the aaa! AAAA! Is such a mood
This is gonna sound clichè AF but I really did get here as fast as I could
“i came as soon as i heard”
angelica, all the way from london damnnn!
marija bamweyana yeeeessssss
Angelicaaaaa
Would you say you... came as soon as you heard?
Lin at the beginning is so like my uncle. He says something and does, "The Stare"
The dreaded STARE
Still I never let a scrub get the last word, On my watch like a Netflix password. This guy is amazing wth
I always love seeing how excited Jimmy Fallon is during these things with Lin.
Black Thought is master class smh.
Lin literally has no chill throughout this entire video like
"Oh my goodness the one and only Lin-"
"BAAAA BAAAA''
*jumps in the air
"You ready for this?"
"NO! Let's Go"
*Story* *of* *my* *life*
2:13 Lin: Gnight!
he's such a goofball
thank you for existing lin and his black fingernails
Lin has more talent in his hand that I have in my entire body. Lovs our little linnamon roll.😂😂💖💖
II saw two words freestyle and Lin Manuel Miranda and I jumped up and down
I love how Lin used the proper word for chancla. “Chanquleta!!!” 😂 😂
Oh man, Jimmy is just so excited for Lin. He can’t hold it in
Lin was just like I'm done I'm not freestyling with this monster anymore 😂
what does jimmy say at 3:45 that gets bleeped out??
