Cuz I don't know. But in a pinch I'd say Snoop.

Captain Beefheart.

That's good.

Is Kool Keith freestyling, in general.
Otherwise, I'd have to nominate the guest on the fifth track of Casual's - Fear Itself (I think, it's on the first side and it sounded pretty distinctive at the time.) I haven't heard this in over six years, my only copy is from memory. He sounds like he's waking up infront of the mic and leaving the studio.

necro.

necro is a terrible freestyler. 'do the charles manson, do the jeffrey dahmer!' no, just shut the fuck up.

It has to be MC Supernatural!

The part of his show where people in the crowd hold up stuff and he includes the different things in his rhymes was pretty cool.

Kudos to him for getting "pint of guinness" into a rhyme!

Word.

I saw him. The three words of the night were "reciprocity", "Juice", and "pacbell" or something. He's blamed a lot for being gimmicky and his rapper-impersonation-schtick isn't all that impressive either. Dose-1 (of clouddead) is probably one of the more entertaining freestyles I've seen. "Seen" being key as his pelvis motions and violent trembling have to be witnessed for full effect.

Got to go with the MC Supernatch. The same gig as the guinness was notable for the contempt in the delivery of "talking to me like I'm eight years old, asking me to bust a rhyme about 'pussyhole'". And on his return a month ago he let a local kid up for a battle. Very Cool.

Pac was a great rapper but an average freestyler. Y'all wanna listen to Redman, Scarface, Beanie Sigel and sticky fingaz.
Peace

Juice Juice Juice Juice Juice

Also, Supernat, every single member of Hieroglyphics

I was told that almost all of Lord Finesse's recorded verses are freestyles, but I find it hard to believe.

― Oops (Oops), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Kool Keith, freestylin', is damned-near untouchable. The majority of his recorded output has been freestyled.

Method Man and Killah Priest are both amazing freestylers; Meth in particular is one of the most natural off-the-top-ers around.

Lateef and Lyrics Born, now those dudes own some freestyle. Haters be damned.

ODB has that drunken-master thing down, where it's not necessarily all that spectacular technically, but damn if his delivery ain't impressive as fuck.

I've yet to hear an Eminem freestyle I was much impressed by, but then I'm not all that impressed by his written shit either. But it seems like everyone else is. I just don't get it.

Dice Raw, now that dude has a vicious freestyle style. Any track he guests on, he sets it on fire.

Shit, Black Thought and Malik B. (I miss the M. Illah) from The Roots are some mighty impressive freestylers too.

Aw, I could go on all day like this. :D

I do the best mutha fuckers. I break shit off..

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 18:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Even though I mentioned Hiero already, I gotta single out Del.
Saw him live 3X and each time he ripped it straight off the dome for at least 4-5 minutes.

Ditto for Common--he showed up at a Roots show years ago and killed it.

― Oops (Oops), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 18:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I gots more rhymes than Leanne.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I got more rhymes than um, er, than, uh, clocks got times. Boo Yah!
