Cam's verse was the best part of the freestyle when I heard this when I was a teenager in the early 2000 and 23 years later it's still the best part of the freesstlyle
There's still real spitters out there today, you're just not looking hard enough. The Griselda cats, Ka, Roc Marciano, Your Old Droog, Ransom, Mach Hommy, etc etc.
Best thing I love about this era was the competition between all the artist. Any one of them weren’t scared to go at each other. Something you don’t see these days
@@el_mal_de_ojo J. Cole, Rapsody, Kendrick Lamar, Joey Badda$$, and legends such as Nas, Cypress Hill, Meth, Killer Mike, Banks, Planet Asia, Elzi, Pusha T. Jack Harlow, RJ Payne, Tyler, 38 Spesh, Phonte, Sa-Roc, Big KRIT, Che Noir, Freddie Gibbs.
Woulda been super cancelled if they made this freestyle in 2022 😂. "Young Mohamed Atta no plane lessons, cocaine lessons to supply the towers" This is back in the days when hip-hop didn't have to follow the mainstream discourse.
My AK was my AKA Before my ABC's and had me A' Ok I'll show u how to make 2 million out ya deal For the right price I could get you out ya deal Smack ya CEO That's when the teck is soarin $4 mil from Def Jam & I ain't sold a record for 'em
There was another version of this exact video (same intro and everything) that was uploaded a few years before this one and it had over a million before it got deleted. But you still right.. this is arguably the most legendary freestyle in the basement history. It should’ve been at 50 mil
Still one of the greatest freestyles of all time!!! Killa Cam really brought that heat whilst Jurors Juelz just really repped the block big time and uncle Jimmy just solidified why they were they hottest squad out at the time!!! LEGENDARY SHIT!!! gotta respect how Cam is busy counting stacks whilst putting down what's real and what's not!!
Born in 94 so by this time i was consciously listening to hip-hop (it was always around in my house) but being able to actually appreciate the craft was so important. Dipset set the standard for me personally in regards to Swag, Culture only a few others did the same for me Kanye, Lil Wayne and of course the great Jay-z salute to the LEGENDS !
In case anybody wants to argue that Cams ain’t off top, here’s the description from Genius: “This highly acclaimed track has variously been dubbed the best Rap City freestyle ever, as well as the best Dipset freestyle. While Jones' verse and a part of Santana’s verse appear elsewhere - on “Beautiful Noise” and “Okay Okay” respectively - Cam'ron’s now-iconic contribution is completely “off the dome.”
It comes down to your definition of freestyle. Some people think it's off the top which is dope but I say it's adjusting a verse to whatever beat you're flowing on. But there is fair arguments on both sides
@@Toosii2timesis clearly not off the dome homes, it’s still beautiful but he just ain’t use it in no song that don’t mean it’s not written, he was reciting
My AK was my AKA before my ABC's and had me A OK. I'll show u how to make 2 million out ya deal for the right price I can get u out ya deal. Smack ya CEO that's when the tech is soaring $4 million from def jam and I aint sold a record for em!!! DAMN cam murdered it SHIT!!!!! Killa
@@EECErik is that why he said "thats when the tech is soaring" stocks. I get he ripped off Def Jam but without a stock trade it seems foolish to burn a bridge, but hey, camron hasnt gave a f in awhile.
I’ll always find my way back to this freestyle year in and year out. True lyricism and it’s a walk down memory lane when bars were prevalent and your wordplay was everything. Salute the real MC’s 🫡
One of the best moments in hip hop history. Damn wish these guys stayed together like the lox. Literally history in the making when they worked together
Best rapcity freestyle ! Not even close. Cam is a wizard with the word play. “Weed and a four wheeler F Mike till you seen me you never saw thrilled “ 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Whenever I wanna hear real shit I go to this freestyle to hear Cameron part other two went off but Cameron came on it smooth plus the beat just bring back so many good memories
Cam is just ridiculous, i would say this is hiphop hall of fame shit. Definitely in the top five freestyle of all time with this. delivery, rhymefrequency, rythm, everything is over the top.
