    These visuals were awesome man, very well produced and looked very professional. Your director and editor deserve major props for this. Keep it up!

    The fact that it's over an industry beat is irrelevant. The proper term for a track like this would be a "freeverse" but the mainstream hip hop community has slowly made it synonymous with "freestyle," which bugs the h--- out of me.

    edit: not taking away from lil homie's track either, it was fire. but not a "true" freestyle IMO.

    I agree the tracks dope but its a freeverse. Freestyle would be aiite if it was one take no cuts type video of you goin at the beat top of the dome.

    Yea definitely major props to them. I've worked with them before, they understand how to translate my vision fairly well into music video form.

    To address the question at hand here, I called it a freestyle because it's a more recognizable term among casual hip hop listeners. I see where you're coming from but lots of artists actually do this. It just takes away from confusion and adds more familiarity than me putting "Freeverse" in the title. I don't like the term Remix either so the only option to go with here was Freestyle. Hope that explains it for you. (P.S I do know what an off the dome freestyle is but I feel like the term freestyle has changed a bit over the years to include more of a broad spectrum, for example the "XXL Freestyles". We all know most of those are rehearsed writtens)
