![]() It’s also showing that there are other great rap songs that deserve to be acknowledged as freestyle-worthy. It’s introducing rappers and fans to Three 6 Mafia beyond their hit songs, as well as inciting a productive generational exchange between new and old rappers. That the song was from an under appreciated rap group from a region that’s often disregarded in contributing to the genre’s innovation isn’t something that should go unnoticed.Īs Lawrence Burney wrote in a recent piece on the “Who Run It” trend, there’s an “ educational twist” with it. Unintentionally, it was a challenge to what is considered rap’s best. That’s what made DJ Bay Bay’s choice of “Who Run It” that much better. ![]() It’s a reinforcement of the idea that boom bap was the most important iteration of rap music, and what’s come after is not only insignificant but unimportant. By expecting this, hosts are basically telling artists “You’re only credible or good if you can rap over this beat that is a staple of rap music.” That most of the beats chosen sound similar and are from the same era, create something of a rap hierarchy. Then, there’s Trippie Redd.īecause of who produced it and who rapped on it, current rappers, whether they grew up knowing it or not, are still expected to freestyle over the track. CupcakKe is animated and precise, effortlessly bouncing back and forth between punctuated rhymes and triplet flows. Lil Yachty is energetic but messy, never seeming to really be comfortable on the beat. Rocky is so monotone that the intensity of the track overpowers him. The freestyles that have come after Herbo’s have varied in quality. Since releasing his debut mixtape, Welcome to Fazoland, as Lil Herb in 2014, the Chicago rapper’s lyrical ability has only gotten better. This is currently not finished as we still need to add more. We will be adding/removing songs based on if they release or are previewed or anything along those lines. For those who are fans of Herbo his lyrical prowess isn’t surprising. Here is a place to find all the popular ( for now) Uzi Snippets in one place, created my me and u/SniperInfinite. He makes it look effortless, the rapper changing his delivery throughout and dropping notable rhymes that range from wanting to add Paris to his passport stamps to convincing a judge of his innocence. Herbo not only started this trend but set a precedent as well with his freestyle. It demands whoever is rapping over it not only be good but bring that same energy. There’s an exhilaration and ferocity to this beat because of its difficulty it’s not easy to catch on, let alone stay on. The track sounds refreshing, new even, in comparison to the slow pulse of current rap. The triumphant horns the low rattling synths the upbeat 808 kicks and the skittering sixteenth note hi-hats. Bouncy, chaotic and fast, it’s a reminder of the crunk sound that became mainstream in the mid 2000s. Following his bizarre series of tweets yesterday, the Philadelphia rapper is now receiving backlash over a new song snippet. Produced by Juicy J and DJ Paul 18 years ago, “Who Run It” stands out against its 2018 contemporary counterparts. Lil Uzi Vert is going through it on social media for the last 24 hours.
