Last week’s Freestyle Friday was our biggest yet… I’m hoping this one will be bigger by teaming up two of hip hop’s favorite groups: De La Soul vs. Wu-Tang Clan. I know there are a ton of Wu heads here on the site, but since I’m a backpacker I’m gonna have to side with De La.
The idea behind Freestyle Fridays is to battle one another with your favorite verse from either of the two competitors. You’re essentially battling other commenters in this thread by using the words of any member of De La Soul or any member of Wu-Tang Clan (solo joints included). Hit the jump for a few rules and then jump in on the comments!
Before we start, let’s see if we can keep the thread in order today, by following a couple simple rules:
1. Please don’t drop the lyrics to a whole song. No more than one verse!
2. Please stay in order…. De La Soul, then Wu-Tang Clan, then De La Soul, etc. If you want to drop a Wu-Tang verse, wait until someone has dropped a De La one. The idea is to go back and forth. It’s possible that more than one person may be trying to drop a verse at one time… we’ll just keep moving on.
3. One new rule: no more battling yourself… lol. I’ve noticed some people like to come in and just drop a bunch of verses (which is cool), but not the intent. Wait til someone battles you to drop another verse.
I’ll start this thread off with a verse from Dove of De La Soul:
“Yep, yep big trucker man’s rollin’ in town
How ya do, how ya do
I got the joints to make ya…(jump!)
Because I’m headin’ eastbound
Tired of the merry go round and around
And everybody’s talkin’ bout you’re so funny
But they still tellin’ lies to me
I got the trees in my backyard
And it’s hard for them to tell a lie to me
And who’s the foot, I’m the foot but who’s steppin’
(ain’t no half steppin’)
You know where I’m steppin’
Skirts play wit it cause I’m slick like that
I’m the greatest mc in the world!!
You gots to gimme gimme mine cause I’m heavy when I weigh it
Watch the way I say it (ego trip)
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
I never did it
The flavor’s bein’ butt but brothers ain’t gettin’ it
Get it; or else you’re a goner
When I rolls over ya gonna have to wanna lamp
Cause it’s the chattanooga champ
Takin’ a train…takin’ a train…takin’ a train…takin’ a train…”
-Dove, “Ego Trippin”
