Kendrick - storytelling, flow, delivery Soulo - entendres, metaphors, punchlines, and overall wordplay Both incredible at what they do and they continue to be to this day.
I think objectively we can say Kendrick is a better rapper but kendrick was heavily influenced by ab soul. Ab soul would have always been the rapper he is but if Kendrick never met ab soul, he never would have became as good as he became. He completed with soul back in the day and that competition pushed him to be better because ab soul was the best rapper in black hippy and it was obvious. It's like with biggie and Tupac. Biggie was the better rapper but pac was bigger than rap. Soul is the better rapper but kendrick is bigger than rap.
"Try your hardest to harvest bundles of weed on ya, they starve and then speed on ya, stapmede on ya, impede on your pockets then pee on ya!" Kendrick Lamar has God-like lyricism.
@@odwaathabilempelwane619 when I saw him perform it was as like watching a nuclear explosion happen in the background ur not in danger but shit was going down, Kendrick was just okay even tho Kendrick’s music catalog is arguably more diverse he’s just not at the performing level so depends on how u wanna look at it. I also met soul at a video shoot the energy was a lot more turned down so maybe Kendrick had a bad performance and ab just had a really good one. Idk, But from what I saw ab souls delivery in person and presence makes him a better (live) artist. But better overall I’d say about equal. Different strengths/ weaknesses
This is how hip hop should be Ab Soul proves what pure hip hop is with a un scripted freestyle and Kendrick shows the complexity and the roots of how the art can be visualized if you put some thought into it. Well done
Ab Soul's freestyle was kinda like punch lines. there meant to get reactions after every couple lines. thats why alot of punch line rappers rap slow so you can catch the affect. Kendrick is a crazy lyricist with flow. his flow is meant for you to really listen to what he's saying and then at the end be like "Got Damn He Nice!!!!" they both smashed that shit
I swear im so aware, but I wear shades everyday my vision gotta be impared. damn ab soul always killing it im ready to hear thesedays cant wait for it to come out
Dominic Roney Lupe & Los? In all honestly I'm partially biased towards AbsouLupe. I think they bring out the best in each other. That'll be my dynamic duo. At the end of the day they are all great and it would a blessing to see any pairing together whether it's a collaboration or a battle. You know something special is gonna happen either way.
it jus pisses me off how skillful talented Soul, Kdot, Q ,& Rock{as a group} was..... & nowadays Black Hippy/TDE has fell off the face of the Earth.🤦♀
That ladies and gentelman, is a FREESTYLE. Solid bars by both Ab & Kendrick, dope choice of putting Daughters by Lantern, and collectivly just a great session in the art of spitting your mind. TDE. BlackHippy.WESTSIDE!
Dre didnt put ANY crown on his head. Kendrick could have been famous a while back ago but he didnt want to take any help from anyone. And thats for the whole black hippy. Thats why you HAVE to respect Black Hippy....Black hippy the Movement!!!!

*Ab-soul
Don't forget the dash, hoe

Facts
Souls verse is fucking ridicolous. Love it!
lmao his verse was trash
charles hills Get your shit straight fuckface.
charles hills LMAO.... you cant be serious .Are you serious ??? really
paulbrasfield he can't really be serious. If Ab's verse is bad then there isnt a single verse in the world he would like...
charles hills His was better. Kendrick's was pre-written btw
Kendrick and Soul always bring out the best of each other
“I aint a rapper, but if i was, this isnt some shit i would rap after”😂🔥
10 years down and I still come back to this freestyle 🔥"life is a bitch if u ain't focused"
Me too
Ft Kendrick Lamar - push thru
Look it up…
DAMN.
Here after KDOT bodied Drake
Algorithm going brazy lol
Anyone came here after drake’s diss ????
Of course 😂
No lies lol 😂
drakes death bra
You already know
a bitch gon be a bitch until a bitch becomes a hoe
ab-soul the greatest...really think he will go down as one of the best to ever do it
Ross S boy was u wrong
Larry Hoover soul do shit on his own terms like an artist should..I'm deffiantely anticipating his next album
Ross S I do feel he’s capable
@@larryhoover4339 he wasn't
Larry Hoover popularity don’t determine how good you are dummy
Don't sleep on SOULO
Too many people do.
sasquatch446 too*
too many😔
"it only makes 6 sense they sleep on the creator of pineal gland" Ab-Soul
Ab Soul and Kendrick need to be a album
"Try your hardest to harvest bundles of weed on ya, they starve and then speed on ya, stapmede on ya, impede on your pockets then pee on ya!" Kendrick Lamar has God-like lyricism.
Thanks for translating 💯
For those saying it Kendrick´s was prewritten: It was only a couple of lines during the intro LOL.
Soul Is just a little bit above Kendrick in terms of wordsmithing
I agree
CHUCKSANDPOLOS they tic for tac...
Real shit
In terms of Punchlines but not being a wordsmith
Pussa TMZ they damn near brothers. It ain’t about washing each other
seen both Kendrick and soul in person and souls on a different level point blank
What mean bro?
@@larodericks5283 his energy is different made me reevaluate how I approach life.. to put it simply Kendrick was human. Soul was soul
Facts.. Soul's mind isn't from here. Daylyt describes him well. Even kendrick said Ab made him think of the things he talks about in Hiipower
You still saying that?
@@odwaathabilempelwane619 when I saw him perform it was as like watching a nuclear explosion happen in the background ur not in danger but shit was going down, Kendrick was just okay even tho Kendrick’s music catalog is arguably more diverse he’s just not at the performing level so depends on how u wanna look at it.

May 2024. You know what got me here.
Soul Was Better Then Kendrick...But Im Biased To Soul
Kendrick always trying to control a puppet when he freestyles
Two of the most lyrical brothers to walk the earth
They both murdered this stop tryna make it a competition
👍
Its not a competition people just judging
rap is competition
the both admit the be tryna kill each other. Ab said he knew for sure he was the best until he Dot and Rocc
It's competition kid, get on ur googles
YO JUST TO BE FRANK...
AB SOUL IS HIGHLY UNDERRATED!!!
HE KILLED Kendrick !!!
Idk about that
Ab is for sure one of the best ever but right here inparticular he didn't kill Kendricc ...
Yeah she definitely tripping y'all 😂😂 just bc he underrated don't try to make him overrated smh
Jahqay Burnett his word play and bars were better wym ..
Naw he didn't BUT HE IS NICE THO! CAN'T LIE ABOUT THAT
Kendrick Lamar feat his hand
Hahahahaha
tyler rumpler 😂😂
Lmfaoooo
Cant wait to tell my children how two legends made the best freestyle ever💯❤️📌
Kendrick's part was too real. May not have had much wordplay but the lyrics were introspective and deep.
Lowkey because of that, it was better than souls. Sure you can be cleaver, but it means nothing if it doesnt enlighten u, yk?
Kendrick on this is one of the best I've ever heard
Soulo is the best rapper of our generation I swear to GOD
Mohamed Bajaber but like earl...
JustRapid is not even top 5
@@xenobell2475 would love to hear your top 5 current gen rappers
🥋KING KENDRICK🥋 ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽💪🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hear absol and like damn and then kdot like dammmmmm
Ab soul killed it. Kendrick killed it while recycling old lyrics but improvised on them. Still some great shit.
Tde
Both killed it.🔥🔥
"I'm the guard dog" - Ab-Soul
As soon as kendrick starts moving his hands, I know it's about to get real.
"I stand out like I exited the building" 👌👌👌👏👏
Ab-Soul rap like he in a candy store #bars
"I'm sipping Remy watching Martin drooling gina if I had the opportunity id Turner out like Tina"
My fav line of the video
Mannnn 🤦🏾♂️ I'm mad that went over my head!
TDE THE BEST LABEL OF MY GENERATION! 💯💯💯
West coast finna go crazy this year! Erybody outside and droppin! 🔥🔥🔥
Here after Drake
Came here for Kendrick but Ab-Soul killed it
How does this not have a million views? One of the best Freestyles I’ve ever heard. Even years later.
AbSoul- Wordplay , figurative language , pure rap and rhyme
Kendrick- flow , delivery and just being comfortable and riding on the beat .
"I'm night and day like meek millz and mac miller" :D
walid amin R.I.P. MAC MILLER
walid amin we
Is it because meek is blak n mac is white ? 😭
@@kungfumaster7886 not sure br0, maybe
“life a bitch if you ain’t focused” REMEMBER THAT HUMANS!!
What I like about Ab Soul is your really gotta LISTEN to what he’s sayin or you gonna have a lot of shit fly over you.
This is how hip hop should be Ab Soul proves what pure hip hop is with a un scripted freestyle and Kendrick shows the complexity and the roots of how the art can be visualized if you put some thought into it. Well done
That was written my guy u can see how he stumbled he missed a word
Soul killed this shit but what was good with his mic? He was emphasizing his P's with the force of God😂😂
No pop filter mic catches the wind p's
aspiration of the p stops.
lol
Deadass 💀💀💀
Ab-Soul went so hard. He said just as much as Kendrick (maybe more so) in less words. I fuck w Kendrick too but Ab got this one
Thanks for the opinion , ab is actually very great people shouldn’t underrate him
Kendrick killed it, Soul killed, both killed it in different ways.
Ab Soul's freestyle was kinda like punch lines. there meant to get reactions after every couple lines. thats why alot of punch line rappers rap slow so you can catch the affect. Kendrick is a crazy lyricist with flow. his flow is meant for you to really listen to what he's saying and then at the end be like "Got Damn He Nice!!!!" they both smashed that shit
I remember watching this years ago! 💪🏾 DOT is 👑
I swear im so aware, but I wear shades everyday my vision gotta be impared. damn ab soul always killing it im ready to hear thesedays cant wait for it to come out
Kendrick Lamar did his thing but Ab-Soul killed it...
Kendrick's pain is heavy in this man, really shows where he's coming from. If you know, you know.
You can tell Soul actually freestyled off the top of the dome..
This world doesn’t deserve the duo of soulo and dot. Put those 2 against literally anybody
Dominic Roney Lupe & Los? In all honestly I'm partially biased towards AbsouLupe. I think they bring out the best in each other. That'll be my dynamic duo. At the end of the day they are all great and it would a blessing to see any pairing together whether it's a collaboration or a battle. You know something special is gonna happen either way.
@@eguerra26 check ab and rapsody songs, non fiction is fire
SOUL !!
soulo hoe, the one and only
The two worst to get into a rap beef with. 😮
Ab killed it. Most of K.dot verse was written. He ended up putting that on "Push Thru" by Talib Kweli! Dope ass song!!!
Somebody else finally knows where that verse is from.
I swear its also in wesleys theory
Role in her river till she hit them high notes - Soul
One thing I've never been recommended was a Drake freestyle....
That's Ab Soul. That was ALL off the top. But then kendrick kicked a written so fuckin hard.
Soulos verse was fucking crazy
This is what you call destruction of a beat and disassembling of a microphone. Ab-soul rly made kendrick bring it out
Yup. Ab-soul made Kendrick bring out the verse of an actual song lol 🥴
Always come back to this freestyle
lmao at the people saying ab soul was pre written, when kendrick starts off with the second verse of maad city. come one kids lets do our research.
Eric Tremblay kendrick super recycled soul smoked him
Kendricks wrote that shit and ab was of the head
@@ianguidice4070 Soul was not off the dome. If was a written but the way he spit it to the beat was flawless.
@@patrickwood5499 proof?
the only part from maad city was the line about 16
Let’s stop complaint and forcing competition, they both root for each other we should do the same all of us. They both were amazing
it jus pisses me off how skillful talented Soul, Kdot, Q ,& Rock{as a group} was..... & nowadays Black Hippy/TDE has fell off the face of the Earth.🤦♀
I watch this all the time.
2019 and this verse from ab-soul still impresses me sooo much🔥🔥🔥❤
I love me some Ab Soul but dot got him on that one...and this was 11 years ago haha
Ab soul is fire
TDE is the best when they are with each other!!! they feel their vibes... these guys are brothers fo sure
+Kingdom Mixtape (KMgoodMusic) i don't know i like tde and slaughterhouse
Kendrick's hand has a mind of it's own.
Them Brovas NICE!!!
THESE TWO GUYS ARE UP THERE!! CLEAN!
WOW!!! calling this freestyle the best in a long time is an understatement...
Kendrick and Ab-Soul killed this...
That ladies and gentelman, is a FREESTYLE.
Solid bars by both Ab & Kendrick, dope choice of putting Daughters by Lantern, and collectivly just a great session in the art of spitting your mind. TDE. BlackHippy.WESTSIDE!
Daamn im surprised this hasn’t hit 1m yet ... this bring back memories
Fuck man I wish ab had that verse in a song!!
Kendrick's freestyle here is maybe the greatest i've ever seen
Ab-Soul because it seemingly was an actual freestyle
So fire. I would literally pay for a studio quailty version of this.
You know you listenin to some quality rappers when absoulutely no one is talkin bout this FIRE ass instrumental
2024 in here
FAVORITE FREESTYLES FROM BOTH OF THEM
Goku and Vegeta fr fr
kendrick was drilling Deep in that Freestyle.
Kendrick...it's all 📝
Regardless of whether or not the verses were pre-written this is bananas.
Glad these dudes r on the same team both of them killed it
It's amazing how K.Lamar never had Ab on his last few albums...
if you watching this video today you a legend
🙏🏽
💯
Today 💯
Till this day man, TDE legendary
kendricks hands bouncin to his words its fuggin awesome, he like a magician
2 of my favorite rappers of all time. Back in 2012 TDE was literally all i listened to, straight up
AB and KENDRICK KILLED THIS SHIT!!!!
King 👑
I live for this ..I simply live for this shit..crazyy good
I watch this all the time
Kendrick deserves the crown Dre put on his head. Ab Soul is great too. LOl.
Dre didnt put ANY crown on his head. Kendrick could have been famous a while back ago but he didnt want to take any help from anyone. And thats for the whole black hippy. Thats why you HAVE to respect Black Hippy....Black hippy the Movement!!!!
these guys might very well be two of the most talented rappers to ever do it.
