You know what's popular nowadays? Sloooow rapping. Many ain't used to technical skills. That's why some people don't recognize skill when they see it. A-F-R-O truly is phenomenal.
Word. Soooo many haters in the comments. They'll learn soon enough and if not I'm perfectly fine with that too. Feeble minds need not apply. And if they take this comment as an insult well........ haha
How anyone could hate this I do not know, kid is so talented for an 18/19 year old. This is the dopest thing I've ever seen happen on the Jimmy Fallon show hahah, keep going up A-F-R-O!! rap was tight. ☝🏼️💯
1:11 Yo yo 1:14 Volleyball-ball All of ya'll's trawls The holla odds That's how ya do a audience Jimmy Fallon 1:19 Feel like a little person hangin from my medallion AFRO the Black Stallion Listen I gotta go back on the mark 1:25 Pineapple Rhyme Snapple with trapple Rhyme apple to find a way to rhyme snap and I trot back into high action High fraction High panicking That's how I do it Lemme turn the thug down a lil 1:35 Now this a cowboy boot This child went to school Without true Without food Cause AFRO's straight bein' true 1:40 Rapping in the chrome microphone Grabbin this room designed to stoneholds And it's half of a rhyme to stop rapping attacking all these fools 1:46 How I do is steering wheel That's how I go to the freeway On a straight vees and I know that FRO go on the replay Relay-elay tree they see they DJ 1:55 That's how I do a rock and ROOTS rockin Dudes is talkin there's the schools where we shooting off and choo choo train 1:59 The snooze tunes fade as the shoe fumes of the few used brains Loose loose brains with loose change 2:04 How I do it Now it's just get the domes Get the know And yo, I got the graduation and now I gotta go 2:10 Peace
@@villain6208 that's exactly what AFRO did read the fucking lyrics it's all random simple elementary shit that doesn't even make sense half of the shit he said was made up words that don't even exist what the fuck is a trapple? Snapple capple I'm a capo fapo who shadow boxes with apples come on man you hyping this dude up and gassing him for absolutely no reason it only sounds good to the untrained ear I don't even know why R.A hypes him up so I guess he's better on a track than a freestyle
Props on the recognition, Jarv...I came to this video as a result of peeping your Facebook. Speaking of dope...props to YOU, as well. Keep doin' what you do. #itsappreciated, especially by those who hold the essence of hip hop and rap near and dear to their hearts.
Jimmy actualy respects HipHop so much man, like everyone in the crowd all like "yyay he say rhyming sounds wooo" and you know Jimmy up there like "what the actual FUCK, this kid is a genius, WHAT THE FUCK BRO!"
A lot of people here won't know that Black Thought (aka Tarik) has a video of him rapping about things Questlove points out in an alley way while beatboxing.
Been vaguely following AFRO since he won a competition RA the Rugged Man put together, and not only is he an ill freestyler he writes some of the best Hip-Hop I've heard in years. He makes great music.
AYYY, AFRO IN THE BIG LEAGUES NOW. Proud of him. This is RA Rugged Mans protege. Remember from like 2-3 years ago how he used to push him on social media, and promote him. Only 18 years old, keep it up, you going far!
I'm a gigantic asshole. And that's why, instead of encouraging the talented, likable and precocious young Rugged Man protege/prodigy A.F.R.O, I did a meanspirited line-by-line breakdown of this freestyle. Go ahead. Listen along. This is the 300k views in two days, "this is the best freestyler guys i swear," next-big-thing-in-rap video right here. RA's choice for the next lyrical messiah. And by all means, if you're thinking you're hearing these syllables differently, or hearing them as if they mean something, you go ahead and let me know. So Afro comes out, they hug, this huge underdog looking kid, looks like you want him to win at life and so on. Then the challenge begins as Fallon takes out first item. Buckle up. AFRO: Volleyball ball, [it's a beach ball] holly y'all trall the holla arth that's how you do a audience" Uh-huh. But then he says "Jimmy Fallon, feel like a little person hangin from my medallion, Afro the black stallion," Now even though that's a PC-rephrasing of a Ludacris line from over a decade ago, it's impressive for a freestyle. But notice how he has these complete and functional lines, all locked and loaded and ready to go, which just happen to rhyme with the name of the host of the show he's been preparing to appear on for weeks? But when he's actually doing the challenge with the objects it was complete gibberish? Let's see how he does with the next thing. [Jimmy pulls out a pineapple - Afro is still standing there looking like a good kid who you hope is finding what he's looking for with his new stardom and doesn't forget who he is] "Listen I gotta go back on the mark...[not a part of any rhyme scheme, basically it's just a sentence, not really rapping but just buying time to try to set this ill pineapple scheme off right - here we go!] "Pineapple, rhyme snapple the trapple rhyme apple the find a way the rhyme snackin imes rhymes actin the high action, high fraction, high panickin" There are no typos in this post. I double-checked. Each one of those syllables is just the sound that was made on the mic. Next Jimmy gets out the cowboy boot. This is about to be some high noon shit. Will you be our huckleberry Afro? [Afro sees the boot, aborts previous rhyme scheme immediately and says] "'s how we do it, let me turn the thug down a little...[again, this is not part of any rhyme scheme, it's just a pair of disconnected phrases, at a point like this the rapper has effectively stopped rapping in order to plan out the next scheme, but continues to say words in order to "keep it going"] "And this a cowboy boot, this trowd oys too without the stroo, without the foo cause afro straight be the truth, rappin in a chrome microphone grabbin the shrone decipher sone holds it as half of a ripus on rappin attackin all these foes" [jimmy has a steering wheel now] Afro: "how it do a steering wheel that's how I go to the freeway, on a shree peas and I know the 'fro go on a replay" hey that almost sounded kind of...like...a line! The 'fro go on a replay, like yeah son they're out here rewinding my shit! Kind of...okay not really. Anyway he caps off that scheme with this: "relay e-lay tree to see the DJ" Okay. Let's proceed. [jimmy pulls out a toy train, afro sees it] "'s how I do it rockin roots bwockin', Judas talkin shoes when we shootin off and [buying time while he thinks about the object]..."choo choo train, the shoo shoos fains to shoe fuse in a few used brain, lose who strange with loose change" [jimmy pulls out a graduate hat] "'s how I do it, so it's get to know it's get to know, and yall I got the graduation and now I gotta go" Crowd loses its groupthink ass mind. Jimmy: "how do you do that!?" Now we all know Jimmy's a shameless dickrider. But still, I'm seeing mfks in the comments saying shit like, "for those of you saying he's not saying words, open your ears" and "this kid is a TRUE lyricist" I mean that shit has just got to be funny. Like, to God. God has to find that shit funny. Do you know how fucking stupid you look, acting like you rep the intellectual, poetic, attention-to-detail side of hip-hop, and you and Hopsin hate Young Thug and Future so much cause BRO THEY DONT EVEN SAY WORDS HAPH THE TIME....but you're in here raving about something that's literally 95% nonsense. Good job. Good fucking work. With your life. Afro's writing is good and he's a good rapper. Agile. Good breath control. He should be less caught up in "freestyling" and also less caught up in the whole syllable madness thing, and he'll be great. See the thing is I guarantee you in six years the boy will not sound like he does now. The people whose minds are blown by this are hip-hop outsiders, and people who don't play very close attention. Don't be goofy followers, people. I know AFRO represents "real MCing" in a way that appeals to people who gravitate toward the era I also gravitate toward...but if you're just co-signing and rah-rahing based on nothing, you're not helping.
watching him waste an opportunity to rap about the next object cleanly and without just saying the object and rhyming shit with it every single item is the best part
Go listen to his "Definition of a Rap Flow" he's really good but I think he was just nervous. Plus it's really hard to freestyle, he probably did better than most of ever will
Rah fshooo fooo doo foooo COWBOY BOOT to the root fshhoo roo fooo boooot STEERING WHEEL, how I go to the free way, fshhh fhh eeeee ay CHOO CHOO TRAIN chooo chooo face fsshuuuu you foooo fooo Nice going bro
^this is what happens when people who barely manage to understand english listen to rap. And au contraire..I feel embarrassed for you.. because you clearly missed one of the best rappers to date. If you can't understand english you might wanna check out different genres. I mean it's okay to not understand 100% of the rap since it's fast and so on, but to only get 1 word per bar is pretty sad.. even my 8 year old swiss brother understood more then you 2.. Damn man.. haha
***** I'm from Delaware. My native language is English so I realized he wasn't talking much sense and therefore you're the one who is pretending to understand the words in order to be a brown nose of a rapper. You might wanna check your acting skills.
I'd love for you to point out the moment where I was "acting". Thanks, lol. But to be honest I just noticed someone not understanding a rapper then complain about it. I just couldn't imagine a kid not understanding his mother tongue. But I guess it happens in the US and A.
it lacks depth. i mean if you press pause and play and watch this a few times it just seems like he says a sentence about Pineapple or something, then just make a bunch of noises that rhyme with Pineapple.
You know, I ain't mad at your comment (specifically pisstrooper 556). That was actually funny (...it made ME laugh, at least). But, yeah, some peeps just ain't on that "mental pla-a-a-ne," to borrow from the GZA's "Liquid Swords-esque" vernacular; meaning: most can't--(in my BEST Pharoah Monch pitch-bending and stress-killing vocal/keyboardist script) "...even-comphrehend-what-I-am-saying-to-you,-even-in-my-human-form-the-message-I'm-relaying..." AFRO did his thing, and it was masterful. #buticanstillfullyappreciatethehumorinyourcomment
beware of dickriders RA told them to like someone so they have this fucking mentality that theyre point of view is right and no one else knows music. fucking germs
