Yes and when people talk about underrated rappers he is never mentioned. That dude put it on for a decade. Bars, choruses, beats, flows, metaphors - people can talk all this s*** they want and act like he wasn't him but he was
@@KrisThatsit You know those b******* awards have nothing to do with how that goes. Plenty of groups, won Grammys and other things that aren't *great* But you know this already. Those awards are basically who is more popular
@@MetalFacedGamer Underated definition : not rated or valued highly enough. You can't call everyone who's not consistently popular underrated, Luda had a successful career and went on to do movies, I would call rappers like AZ and Jay electronica underated.
I've never seen Big Tig enjoying the basement before and after the buju and elephant Man performance, I mean como decimos en dominicana él se lo gozó 😂😂😂😂, I'm totally agree with him cause I love that one too. God bless you Big Tigger for brought us wonderful times with the rap city the basement 🙏🏾
Aye yoooooo the lost tapes from the basement would be a whole different vibe for the 50th year celebration of hip hop and it would bridge so many necessary gaps for the kids today mannnnn that HAS to happen
I remember that dipset freestyle was so classic I remember like yesterday coming home from watching rap city cam killed that bit we was in school talking bout the next day.
It gotta be like a Basement lost footage redemption arc. Like they have footage of what Tigger said with these bad thitakes, talk about it and then come back and spit a better one. That would be interesting. But alsothere are a lot of rappers and artist out there now and post ones that would be dope to see. Drake, Kendric, Cole, Big Sean, Joyner, MGK, Cordae, Wale, Nikki, Migos. There is at least 10 plus the ones who have been on, it can be awesome
Crazy Tigger once told me I should have a show lol BET Notarized era. I went from a busker to Sway in the morning and HNHH. Blessed. Building a catalog for sync
1. tied for first (Method Man on the Seth Marcel beat & Cassidy on the Obie Trice beat) 2. tied for second (lil wayne with bandana and dmx + drag-on) 3. all the rest (too much dopeness to mention)
Jin, Snoop, Luda, Sigel and Cassidy the latters even though it's not off the cuff I never heard the verses before A lot of the artists mentioned by the guest those verses was from their present/past albums/mixtapes
Cam counting the money changed my life 🔥🔥🔥 I like how T Pain is saying we probably have not enough rappers for 1 season at the moment 🤣👌🏼
That was the coolest thing most of us seen at that point in hip hop, moment for real...

Yes and when people talk about underrated rappers he is never mentioned.
That dude put it on for a decade.
Bars, choruses, beats, flows, metaphors - people can talk all this s*** they want and act like he wasn't him but he was
Luda still be snapping, don't let the movies fool you
@@MetalFacedGamerI wouldn't call a rapper who has 5 Platinum albums and 3 Grammys underrated but I get what you're saying.
@@KrisThatsit You know those b******* awards have nothing to do with how that goes.
Plenty of groups, won Grammys and other things that aren't *great*
But you know this already.
Those awards are basically who is more popular

Chamillionaire had the best one. He rapped backwards. Shot out to tigger for always holding his own
Wayne with red flag on the Mic…classic

Cassidy is #1 of all time.. Tigger tripping
The Buju & Elephant Man was classic
SMINO! And KRIT!!
Mr. Juelz Santana.. Mr. Wayne Carter...Mr. Bizzy Bone... Ludacris... CASSIDY
Funny.... my all time favorite basement freestyle was the Buju & Elephant
Buju and Elephant Man was the best and I grew up watching Dipset.
It gotta be like a Basement lost footage redemption arc. Like they have footage of what Tigger said with these bad thitakes, talk about it and then come back and spit a better one. That would be interesting. But alsothere are a lot of rappers and artist out there now and post ones that would be dope to see.

J Cole would of slaughtered the basement booth.
FACTS💯

Crazy Tigger once told me I should have a show lol BET Notarized era. I went from a busker to Sway in the morning and HNHH. Blessed. Building a catalog for sync
My personal top 3 hands down in no particular order….
Red Bandanna Wayne
Luda
Cam
Those three are undeniable imo
Chamillionaire killed the booth with busta rhymes hosting your welcome
CANIBUS' FREESTYLE...made me look up a couple of words in the dictionary! 😂
I agree with the 4 that Tig said, personally I'd put the Bow Wow one on there, honorable mention to the Jin one
Cassidy had best one of all time, easy
Facts
1. tied for first (Method Man on the Seth Marcel beat & Cassidy on the Obie Trice beat)
2. tied for second (lil wayne with bandana and dmx + drag-on)

Ludacris had 4. He forgot the time Luda freestyled over Shyne- Bad Boys beat. That’s my favorite Luda freestyle
Chamillionare without a doubt is top 3 if not the best ever!

Camron was number 1 all time best I remember that like it was yesterday
Everytime G-Unit was on I was TUNED IN 😭 I didn’t know everyone loved Wayne’s Live from the 504 verse

Cassidy’s Monica Lewinsky freestyle was OD… chill Tigger you gotta remember that
Rip would love to have seen Pop in the booth
Fight Night 2004 Baby
