With all the year end lists going on, I almost forgot about Freestyle Friday! Why don’t we put up the two top emcees of 2009, according to Justin & Thomas: Raekwon vs. Joell Ortiz!
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 Raekwon or Joell Ortiz. 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…. Raekwon, then Joell Ortiz, then Raekwon, etc. If you want to drop a Joell verse, wait until someone has dropped a Raekwon 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.
I’ll start this thread off with a verse from Joell Ortiz:
“I got a raw flow, and I stay hungry more so
Guess that’s why I’m the torso
I pour sweat when I perform shows
What I record goes down as the best, but the vets won’t let that torch go
Y’all could keep it, they got flashlights now
And flamethrowers, and I got one on my back right now
Remain focused, that’s what I tell myself now and then
Don’t want to go back to that block like when Varejão defends
Uh-oh, my stomach growls again, I ain’t none of you cowards friends
Every human out of my sight before I count to ten
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
I’m hungry like I never ate
Set a table up with knives, forks and spoons, I’m ’bout to get a plate
All these sweet dummies looking me like a pepper steak
Means we never seperate, we ain’t married
Jab it everytime I touch a pen, I sort of set a date
I’ll devestate your career, look I’ma demonstrate
Let me get a good breath take before I regulate
Okay, bye bye you guys, don’t try to rhyme
Cuz line for line
What I design is mine and mine
My joint’s divine, meaning right behind
And thank God it shines all the light in mine
So my eyes can find a nice dime to grind
Come here girl, toma, toma , take that, take that ”
