Jun 24, 2016 Add your lists 1. Anderson .Paak 9/10 Dude straight killed his s---, he mixed his powerful singing with skilled rapping and topped it off with a high roller like persona that made him charismatic af. 2. Kodak Black 8/10 I'm aware this isn't a freestyle but be real none of them really were. Kodak goes in with his interesting codeine like delivery. He keeps his flow up and says some dope s---. Denzel Curry 7/10 Denzel is pretty overrated imo, dudes just jump on the bandwagon. Imperial got boring fast, Denzel goes in on this freestyle with skilled straight rapping that is just boring because of a lack of delivery. Desiigner 7/10 This freestyle is so melodic overall I wish it could be higher, I've replayed this more than any other freestyle and as a hook this would be a 10/10. If he jumped into a freestyle after this hook it would've also been dope but since it's so short and there isn't much rapping it has to be a 7. Lil Dicky 5/10 I wish Dicky stopped rapping. He has flow but otherwise it was just annoying to listen to. Hated his voice and his subject matter doesn't suit his persona. His smile at the end was cute but everything else apart from that and his flow was trash. I've seen a billion white rappers do the same thing.
Jun 24, 2016 I agree with your ratings for the most part. Everyone's clowning on Desiigner like they're expecting him to be lyrical out of nowhere. When did he show any of us a sign that we would get some good lyrics out of him. His XXL freestyle was melodic and catchy, regardless of being able to understand him. We don't understand Future half of the time either but we f--- with his music nonetheless. Same with Thug.
Jun 25, 2016 Kodak's was obviously the best if you let go of your pre-conceived notion of what a freestyle should sound like. Desiigner's tribal voodoo lullaby grew on me. Denzel was good but except for the earl sweatshirt line it wasn't anything extraordinary. lil dicky
