    Lif is really real, gotta see him live, he spits like this, high energy, real heady rhymes. Cant believe this is freestyle, u could make a t-shirt with every one of his rhymes.

    This video is beast. They both get nice, but Lif just tears this shit up. And that beat is straight sickness.

    EL P is nicer then Eminem hes more consistent he just doesnt have the same look or cartoon lyrics so they hate on him but you never here him make a corny song like eminem does all the time.

    Why do people even compare Wayne to any underground hip-hop artist. Most mainstream rappers can't eve hold a candle to any undergound hip-hop artist.

    • @bennett138
      @bennett138 5 років тому

      no comparison... Wayne doesn't flow half as hard as El nor does he make his own beats. El's one of the best hands down.

    dope ass beat with two dope ass mc's.
    I fell in love with I Phantom its weird i listened to it once and didn't care for it but the second time through i was instantly hooked like fuckin crack.
    I love El P as a producer but admittedly im still warming up to his solo work. After a while im sure ill love it as much as Lif. Always a CoFlow lover tho....

  • @pm2007est

    I agree and apologize for the spelling, honestly this freestyles not that bad. And you are totally right about the repetition, it's just that I get the feeling that I've heard El-P say it too much.

    My Playlist? Don't worry about it, I've been listening to Mr Lif for an eternity. El-P, I never cared for. Sorry if I don't think this is a good freestyle, you could find guys on UA-cam that aren't even know freestyle better than this. Sorry if I'm not foaming at the mouth over this clip.

    Yeah they're metaphorical who doesn't know that? None of us would be posting comments if we didn't know that El-P and Lif are "metaphorical."

    it was close to classic, not quite a classic. and idk about the ep being better than the album. lyrically, beat-wise and conceptually, it was a more full-flling/cohesive project from start to finish to me.
