The Roots are a must listen, I recommend starting with 'Things Fall Apart'

Razer Droid

Bro, it's DEEN

Bobby porter

btw the term freestyle can also be used for a written verse, it’s just the beat that they aren’t familiar with

John

The audience reaction is real. These play up on a jumbotron during the BET Awards

hlep me

I'd say 'you need to react to things fall apart undun and cheat codes' but we all know that the list is 5 centuries long at this point

snooza

I think some of these freestyles have lyrics on genius

VeganMilk

I was just listening to Black Thought lol. Really want you to react to Cheat Codes, it’s my favorite album of the year so far

Isiah Moore

I NEED ISAIAH RASHAD PLEEEAAASSSEEEEE

snooza

This black thought freestyle from the early 90s is a must watch too. Questlove points at random objects in the alley and he just keeps going and rapping about the objects lol. Keep in mind they were just teens (or early 20s) here: https://youtu.be/t4xrTaAOLHQ

Illadelphalflife...I've been saying it forever. Things Fall Apart is a close 2nd. But you'd probably like their newer albums,lyricwise, more like How I Got Over, Rising Down, and Game Theory.

Tim P

Super happy you got an intro to freestyle in general and Black Thought specifically, full albums with lyrics to follow are great, but as you saw it’s another thing to just have to listen in real time and try to absorb before the next punchline. The Roots are an amazing band, I’ve seen them live a couple times, and Black Thought’s solo projects the last few years culminating in this year’s Cheat Codes have all been outstanding, all highlighting his lyrical mastery. In terms of raw talent, hard work, and oozing cool confidence, I don’t think there’s a better MC out there. And that’s not a dig at anyone, you saw how Method Man was even talking about how normally he wouldn’t read off his phone but he knew he had to bring his best with Tariq in the room.

Paul Salvador Estrada

Lupe fiasco is the only Mc I've seen who really seems to go off the cuff everytime and its pretty apparent as well as cool to see an elite lyricist stumble here and there while also delivering some wildly good lines/schemes/cadences out of thin air.

Mohammad Moeladawilah

I hope cheat codes by black thought and danger mouse is on your radar for the near future as it was a recent release and you know how short the attention span of internet people are. Since you did this, I now want to see some battle rap reactions. I’d suggest Dizaster vs Dumbfoundead, a little offensive to some, but absolutely entertaining. I love it.

RandomPig

If you’re interested in more freestyles I’d recommend checkin out coast contra. It’s a group of 4 that do freestyles over a lot of classic and newer beats. They’re very good and they put their lyrics on the screen so that might help u get more used to breakin down freestyles

K.W

The "added crowd response" for the BET cypher is actually real. These cyphers are usually pre-recorded and shown for the audience at the award shows, and thats who is cheering and applauding

james moore

"off the top" freestyle means on the spot, and "freestyle" means prewritten over a beat now

james moore

And Bet wouldn't add fake crowd noise lol. These are watched live by an audience

Sjur Kvam

Good video, it was nice meeting Bob the bottleneck for once! ;)

Jay Dog

If u do more of these I would like to see u react to 7 min. Freestyle by Big L & Jay-Z, Mr. Cee Freestyle by Notorious B.I.G. Drunken Freestyle by Tupac, Freestyle by Lil Baby and of course Smokepurpp Tim Westwood TV freestyle 😂. Check out Rap City freestyles too those are classics.

Paul Salvador Estrada

For the freestyle reactions I think it works best if you stop and maybe replay whenever a line catches your ear i know thats pretty much how most people listen to these freestyles anyways because it is super hard to catch everything when they're going line after line jumping from subject to subject but you did great.

Tribecalledjoe

Here’s some more of the funnier/entertaining type freestyles that popped off if you’re ever looking for more to react to! Shia Labeouf’s Sway in the Morning freestyle https://youtu.be/l161Qqc5lUk Lil Dicky’s Sway in the Morning freestyle https://youtu.be/CzgjglZqS3Y Tyler the Creator on Funk Flex https://youtu.be/Z1q39h_Gnmc RiFF RAFF’s Sway in the Morning freestyle https://youtu.be/IWZelu4m1cY Childish Gambino on Hot97 https://youtu.be/zKB66pjw-JA Albee Al on Funk Flex https://youtu.be/AD3BDS1bKCM

The BET cyphers are prerecorded at a different location and then played live for the audience at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. They aren't lip synced, but they often have many takes, especially for the lesser experienced freestyle artists. They have millions of views but they're hosted on BET's website.

Lil Vertical

A true crime to not react to a Juice WRLD freestyle! Definitely recommend listening to some, all his music was freestyled which is pretty insane

Nathan Backus

Hi - I am a new Patron and loved your reaction to Blonde. I would love to see you react to the album Idol Blue by Johnny Rain. Incredible album I think you would enjoy if you enjoyed blonde. Thank you!

McSwagburgerXL

I respect you for trying to dissect Black Thought without lyrics. Black Thought is one of the most complex writers of all time.

Will H

Great freestyle reactions Bob...as you can see, Black Thought is the GOAT. He has all the attributes that every great MC needs (cadence, flow, breath control, compound rhymes, great live performer, etc).

Will H

Also wanted to point out...a few days ago, someone unearthed a Jay-Z & Big Daddy Kane freestyle (from either 1995 or 96). The Jay-Z portion had leaked years ago, but the Big Daddy Kane portion is freshly leaked. If you want to get into more 80s rap, Kane should be on your radar.

FuzzyDunlop

Thank you for finally reacting to the flex black thought freestyle. That's hilarious I messaged you the morning you posted it.

Btw I don't think YT will chop it up, there's many full length reactions to this video already up.

Gerardo Rojas

So much like the albums, genius will usually have the lyrics to these freestyles if you look for them by specific name. Also, I always turn on the subtitles with youtube, that helps as well. Plus you can always rewind like you did. Thats how I listen to it. I hit rewind and listen two or 3 times, no shame in my game lol Btw the freestyles don't usually get blocked on youtube especially if they are done at the bigger known places like Funk Flex, Sway, or La Leakers so feel free to post those. Last note and this is soooooo important, Black Thought is considered to be a GOAT MC in the rap game, I swear his brain is connected to the internet 😭😂. That last freestyle you did is considered top 5 radio freestyles of all time. Every time I listen to im dumbfounded. With all that in mind I think you did a fantastic job for not having a single lyric in front of you. Don't be afraid to do more freestyles in the future, its just another element of Hip-hop.

Craig Manning

I'm sure it's had to be recommended, but you've gotta do a Harry Mack video sometime. Off-the-dome freestyling, not pre-written at all (and he'll prove that over and over) that'll blow your mind. I could watch first-time reactions to Harry Mack all day, and I have. As others mentioned freestyles aren't generally blocked on YT; after all, they're often a promotional tool anyway so the artist wants it out there.
