There are two kinds of freestyles: the “freestyle” and the freestyle. The first was made popular when a certain Canadian rapper “spit off the top” of his BlackBerry and second has become a dying art. But yesterday afternoon on the MTV RapFix couch, Oakland’s Mistah F.A.B. – the self-titled freestyle king – effectively crowned himself, in jaw-dropping fashion.
It starts off like any other freestyle, just rhymes about nothing in particular. Then, as if to prove that this wasn’t something rehearsed, Fabby starts to incorporate the set and the people around him into his words. And just to blow the top off, he “conducts” an interview with himself, all in rhyme. Yeah, Styles P was right to play the veteran card and skip his own part because there was nothing he could have done to even hit the halfway point of what F.A.B. did.


GOT DAMN
I honestly have never been a fan of Buddy’s music. But that TRUE freestyle was Crazzzy to say the least. How many dudes in the game could even come close to doing something like that?
WEST COAST GEEEZZZZ….NUFF SAID sleep on the west yeah go ahead lmao

I Found My Backpack is one of the best mixtapes of the year.
I’m a Nig Latin/Son Of A Pimp fan.
Fab kinda lost me when he went Hyphy.
“I Found My Backpack” went under the radar.
I’m gonna check for it.
As you should…

yo i lost it when he interviewed himself.
Jesus. King of the freestyle.
woooooow. that was actually incredible. the lost art of freestyling has been found.
fab just got a ton of respect for that shit
nother rapper who cant make a dope studio effort. westcoast for life tho. shout out to the raiders
Sorry, but anybody have a Youtube link for this, can’t watch this
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
ILL.
The last cats I recall busting actual freestyles (no written) were Em (Wake Up Show), Kurupt (Wake Up Show – dude freestyled for like 15 minutes straight – I drove around and around even after arriving home just because I did not want to miss any part of it), and KRS.
It is sad that dudes call written verses freestyles. I come from a different era where you were wack and laughed at if you spit pay style (shouts to Earl).
Very nice. There’s nothing like being in a zone and Fab was in one.
Sick. I can respect any artist who spits off the top in a situation like that, even if the bars aren’t always hot, its about the passion of the art.
Fab earned that bump like a muh fuckah lol
^ LOL
Fab still got it i see…haha lets see Jin rip him now
yeah kurupt is dope at freestyling, one of my favorites. snoop could freestyle too.
brah….thats what he do.
Not saying it’s not dope…. But are we really gonna act like Supernat wasn’t doing this for the last, what, fifteen years?
LOTS of niggas still freestyle… and lots of niggas use writtens. And you know something? It’s really hard to figure out which are which anymore.
New formula: dope verse = dope verse. Fuck the circumstances of it.
Not to mention… I’ve been to like 200 shows in the last three years… I have HAD IT with acapella. It’s just too fuckin’ easy.
I don’t think Fab was claiming king of freestyle nor did he try to one up anyone. That was just some on the spot stuff that came out ill. Supernat can still tear a hole in Fab but that still doesn’t mean he doesn’t have some nice skills.
he went all the way in, thats the way you come with it, he just got in the zone and just blacked out. i live in New York but let me say this bay area stand up
MTV sucks for this BS – youtube, daily motion, worldstar link anyone?
WOW
Fabby Davis showin’ love to the legends, 93’till!
how you feel about the raiders? man i love them they the greatest.
