[King Lance]

I agree tbh, all of them killed it but Black Thought was superior imo

[Devil'sAdvocate]

I think I agree though, Budden's verse was tight.

Like this line
...very confident his verse was reused.

where did Em use this verse? He used to recycle freestyles but since his comeback he's had new verses for every new freestyle he's done

[Almostlity]

well.. Black Thought killed it.

[Fleka]

I liked the whole cypher.

[Wallace]

Cool cypher.
Enjoyed Em's verse the most.

[Fury]

Eminem's verse was the best.

But cyphers are whateva. Mos Def is the illest freestyle rapper.

[CanadaPure]

I've never really enjoyed this cypher verse to be honest with you. The 2011 one was much better.

I dont get the "freestyles" these days. Everything's written, how the hell is that "freestyle". Even the goddamn battles are written. Is there any authentic freestyling in rap anymore or is it all old verses and prewritten shit.

"...In the '80s, when we said we wrote a freestyle rap, that meant that it was a rhyme that you wrote that was free of style, meaning that it's not on a particular subject matter --- it's not a story about a woman, it's not a story about poverty, it's basically a rhyme just bragging about yourself, so it's basically free of style....That's really what a freestyle is. Off-the-top-of-the-head rapping, we just called that "off the dome" ---when you don't write it and you say whatever comes to mind".
