I can't wait for that shit. I've been pumping your music ever since I first heard this freestyle and it still gives me goosebumps.You are a fucking inspiration. Thank you and much love from Australia.
Frank Furter Well, have you seen him elsewhere but at Shade45? Have you heard him on the radio or seen him on the TV? If you want to go mainstream - it's easy. Lock def choose to stay underground. Easy.
Lock had involved in MTV rap battle back in early 2000's. He knows what it's like to be in mainstream media. It's safe to say he CHOSE to be underground
omfg!!! I'm straight boycotting mainstream rap. I didn't even realize shit like this still existed. this was like ice cold water on the middle of the desert
+Kung Fu Vampire this isnt a verse? its a written freestyle, also If this is the best you've heard in your life than you havent heard of Nino Bless My friend, Latin Marksman, or R.O.A.M 3 , the whole albums based off Audiotrips, Niggas craaazzzy
+Josh Guglielmo as far as your misunderstanding of what a verse is or isn't. There isn't such thing as a written freestyle. Freestyle has an original definition of "off the top" otherwise known as improv and an adaptive newer definition where someone spits a random verse somewhere on the spot that isn't a song. What he just spit is a verse. A verse is ANY written rhyme. The fact that he's spitting it randomly in a studio and it's longer makes it a freestyle by newer terms but it's a still a verse regardless of why or what it was written for! 🍁
I come back and rewatch I can’t believe this doesn’t have over 1 mil views , 🔒 is incredible , there is anyone with a working brain 🧠 would concur that locksmith is top tier above god level .
I heard this over 20 times, and still drop my jaw in aw! Most of the new generation of hip hop don't appreciate or understand conscious lyrics. Keep spitting the truth!💯
Damn, I've been a fan of this nigga since he first beat Marvwon on MTV, and have since been following him catch bodies on Gindtime, as well as his radio cyphers and mixtapes. It's someone like this that the game has been missing for so long. This dude is true emcee, and has expressed the skillset and versatility to show for having the ability to rap with multiple styles under RELEVANT schemes while still retaining his lyricism, and stays loyal to the tradition. Plus we've already seen how much of a beast he was during his battle rap career, he didn't just show that he was good, but he completely DESTROYED his competition, everyone from Mistah Fab to both Dizaster and Daylyt. This is one of the few emcees today that matches his predecessors that hold the legendary status, and in some ways can possibly out do a few of them. I hope Lock get's the exposure he deserves.
IT'S VERY, VERY HARD TO IMPRESS ME. IM OLD SKOOL AND HOUSEHEAD4LIFE. I CAN'T STAND MOST OF RAP/HIP-HOP BUT MY MAN, YOU JUST SPIT FIRE AND PICKED UP A NEW FAN! DA REALEST TISH I HEARD IN A LONG MINUTE, KEEP ON SPITTING THAT REAL TISH. YOU EARNED MY RESPECT!
Macsimus007 Out of respect for sensitive people I used TISH instead of SHIT. But YOU, my feeble minded commentor, obviously got way too much time on your hands that you had to go around trolling the net being a grammar Nazis. Since I am responding to your obvious attack on my comment I will not waste time with such politeness. I said TISH instead SHIT but I will now I feel free to call you a piece of SHIT with nothing else better to do than to be all on my PHAT AZZ passing judgement. You don't know SHIT about me arrogant moron. Now is that better that I insult you with small letters rather than CAPITAL letters? Truth is, TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS NOT A CRIME, THERE IS NOTHING WRITTEN IN LAW AGAINST IT. ITS JUST AN ANTIQUATED PATTERN OF THINKING WHOSE TIME HAS COME TO DIE AND GIVES MORONS LIKE YOU A REASON TO LIVE I GUESS. . . MOVE ON BECAUSE IT IS USELESS AND EVERYONE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME OPINION ABOUT CAPS. PLENTY OF PEOPLE TYPE THAT WAY AND ONLY THE GEEKIEST, NERDIEST NO LIFE HAVING PEOPLE, GET IN THEIR FEELINGS SO MUCH SO THEY MAKE A COMMENT TO A COMPLETE STRANGER WITH NO MERIT OR VALIDITY. USURPING YOURSELF SOMEHOW SUPERIOR WHEN YOUR COMMENT ALONE PROVES YOUR LIMITED BRAIN MATTER AND PROVES NOTHING ABOUT ME. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO EXPRESS MYSELF ON THE INTERNET. IT'S EASIER AND FASTER TO TYPE THIS WAY AND I DO NOT HAVE TO CONFORM TO THE INVISIBLE USELESS STATUS QUOT THAT MAKES A POINT OF POINTING OUT THE FACT I AM USING CAPS. THE SHIT HAS NOTHING TO WITH FACTS!!! #ImpressMeWhenYouActuallyGetOnMyLevel #CarryOn
Locksmith you are a god. Thank you so much for helping to carry the music that i love so much. Real lyricists are so hard to find anymore. This freestyle literally melts minds and opens brains. Keep your head up brother.
I still will never forget when I met you at Team BackPack MUNY 2017. Still got the pic we took together. Highlight of the 3 day weekend was meeting you Lock. Bless up.
Locksmith is just gold...I'm done. I wish him more success he deserves more reputation and recognition for his musical talent he slays 100% of the mainstream bullshit rappers and hes about king of the underground in my opinion cause he has overall balance between lyricism, speed, lyrical substance, and emtion. He's his own competition lol
bruh, we need real music, hip hop and rap back. all that cars, money and jewelry stuff is lame. I like the flow on real stuff out here. keep spittin life bruh. That's where the love and true passion is at. I rep you, keep pushing fam
"Rappers use big words but don't be saying much, to overcompensate for the music they had to rush, instead of creative ways to convey what they feel as such, they try to overcomplicate through their lyrics and that's a crutch, touching your note pad you're so mad that you pretend, so you spit the most far out shit that you can pen, but when you try to sound smart without substance in your art, you're just as bad as a swagged out rapper that you condemn" Is that a crack at K-Rino?
I was bout to type this out now, i know im late but i fucks wit locksmith for a long time. What you just quoted is some of the best shit ive EVER heard in my life.
Al woah woah k rino actually has substance buddy just cuz you dont comprehend doesn't mean it has no value. More then 40 albums and counting. Lock is nice but k is the myth of a god MC. legend
wow, he just killed it....this was some dope shit man, its been awhile since i heard a verse this on point..i gotta check out more of his stuff ....time to listen again
I thank R.A for bringing me here. This guy is a lyrical beast. He literally destroyed the rappers I so called mcs. Thank you locksmith! You have my ears what they been craving
