  • Telling some old favourites and new soon-to-be-favourites at one of the loveliest shows in Los Angeles, and finishing off with a rather forgetful freestyle.
    (Hey! Are you one of those people who's all "BUT WE'VE HEARD ALL THESE JOKES BEFORE!"? Then skip to 3.00 for the bits that haven't been posted on here yet, and enjoy!)
    Filmed January 22nd 2018, at Hot Tub with Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal - / hottubshow

    one thing ive.noticed about rappers and freestylers are
    Number one they're word Smith's. they're fascinated. with language. They read dictionaries Thesairus rhyming dictionaries All of this becomes fuel.that they can draw from like talking items out of a packed closet
    They're curious about the world or at least their own environment. Politically socially domestically they are aware of what's happening in the world globally and regionally.
    they're opinionated. ultimately whatever they rap about fakes some type of position whether conventional or unconventional
    they're social commentators verbal editorialists
    They study beat flow and rhythm.
    they're CONFIFENT public speaking ranks as a number one fear and that when you have a totally prepared script you've memorized. Can you imagine the guts you have to have freestyling words phrases and rhymes you've NEVER spoken up till that point?

      I'd say it's hard to go from dead pan comedy to hype improvised freestyle rap in the same set lol Probably why he switched it up

      Self defecating humour. That line nearly made me shit myself. (You probably mean self-deprecating but that is not half as funny).

      I don't wanna be that guy but this is officially a racist statement to make. Just saying. I don't even care about racism because I'm white, but this is racist.

    Preferred his gags dry but that rap was insane, if he was truly making that up on the spot that is brilliant knowledge, wit and intelligence firing at hyper speed.

      It would be weird to go from solemn dry humour to upbeat hype improve rapping in the span of 10 minutes though. That's prob why he changed it.
