Just saw Chali 2na play a show last night. Not only was it dope, but afterward, he just came off the stage and talked to everyone. So dope. I asked him, "Who's your biggest inspirations?" and he told me he combined the kind of Melly Mel & Rakim kind of flow to become what he is. Super intriguing.
I'm so in love with his voice - I saw J5 at a little Festival last year in the U.K. And it was incredible. The atmosphere, everyone was just so happy such an amazing band were killing it 👌🏽 I love it
kadafi wow love it he change so much.. but u can always tell his eyes and face structure still the same yes their alive! at 2:46 lols yak always that fool lmao...love it! u know he loves swinging his arms lmao! like from the made niggaz video lmao!
flow to kill it . the best baritone with the one flow ready to rap ready to just blowing to go . with the concrete rap ready to kill that best breaks with jurrasic 5 ready to spit it out words that makes ya wanna freak ... props from the uk dude big fan best mc out there. from a uk dj mate
Best rapper ever. His rhyme schemes are so complex! He obviously switches to written after the first 40 or so seconds, but its all good. Always smooth and refreshing!
Haha I just gotta note the host's names in this video's description. Which one is not like the other? Phraze, Task, Chaos and... Daniel. PS: Chali 2na slayed that mystical piano beat. I LOVE that beat and that freestyle.
i've watched this so many times that i know how many times he takes in breathes to keep rapping, and im still listening to this amazed, fuckin chali 2na!!! J5!!! YEAH!!!
@jimathy409 You talking about backwoods? I was there too..must have missed any preaching and or hippies being angry. everyone loved him he put on an amazing show
Pure hip hop. Real lyrics. Just try to imagine making this up as you go.. LYRICAL GENIOUS "Chali Tunam the manphibian the fish outta water now lets GO"
ya know j5 is a group of the most well spoken rappers i've ever had the pleasure of seeing and they're music is osm. especially fond of the freestyle with tom greene
one of the most underrated lyrical masters of the new generation ... i wish folks quit sleeping on this dude ... 2na you da man ... check out his verse with mike shinoda and linkin park on "Reanimation" and he kills it ... destroys them dudes
I agree with some posts that it does seem set up at about 1:40 where he suddenly gets raw but it was still good. I think it was still freestyle then but i could be wrong. Still love the freestyle, artist, and beat. Respect
I don't recognize the written verse. Was it made just for this occasion? Or was it from a previous song he had wrote? Just interesting cause it's sick so I want to know the song it's from :D
His story is literally the same as Gift of Gab's. He got clowned by a neighborhood emcee and went home and wrote some shit to get back at him. Good shit. Cool to hear about Myka9.
freestyles are already structured in your head.its something you memorize.you change up subject matter to suit the situation..at least thats how most battle rappers do it..immortal technique,gift of gab,E 40,eminem,LL,Jay z,Nas....
I agree. People under sell the whole premise, but freestyle lyricism, like freestyle musical improvisation, is borne from repetition within an individual context. There's a better way to express that, but I'm an idiot with words. Musical improvisation is all the same, whether with linguistic material or other sonic material of audible/aural significance. You can't practice "riffs" or "licks" to then use at your discretion, and expect to use these haphazardly as an afterthought, all while fully expecting any sort of favorable results. Rather, you really should seek to be fluid in the entire ouvre, so to say, the vernacular, the idiom at hand in that moment, to be able to freestyle, improvise, to lend a helping hand, to pull up, to fully represent, to be about it, to, hur ska man säga, to, what is it that they say, that one thing, to learn how to express oneself in a complete manner. And beyond. It's natural communication. There shouldn't be any reason to philosophically segregate. This is natural, to use sound to communicate. Happens that video evidence commensurate, I can't help but to your familiar post resonate. Could have left out a bit, in order to truncate but too fried, lazey and rather blaze treez, think on a better place for me.
Please could some native correct my lyrics of this ? I'm searching it since a lot of time, I tried to understand fully the song but as a not englishspeaker it's quite hard to understand some of those expression and not separated words ^^ THANKS IN ADVANCE ! => Aha Aha yeah 3x Yes testing one two, My name is Chali 2na, yeah, J5, yeah, ozo matli, yeah, (collecting ?), G4, yeah Hey, Chali 2na in this place one, Time, let me tell you, let me space one, rhyme in your face son, yeah and when that come I embrace one, or two or three of yours Hey, begin the hyena Let me tell ya that I run like Bruce Jenner, or should I say Jenna, no beginner, yeah Hey, I spin just like the spin in top, hey, and there's a spin i don't stop, yeah, freestyle off the top, yeah for the channel freestyle wonder one, G4TV, yes it's begun now, when i come freestyle just fit in all the (vow?)..??, the words might enter ..??

@jonarosen think its like anything else in that he was trying to get a feel for it and warm up a bit at the start. you can see the wheels turnin in his head as he's listening to it in the beginning.
if you're really asking, here are some recommedations of some groups and artists: hieroglyphics, freestyle fellowship, organized konfusion, blackalicious, latyrx, mood, company flow, smooth da hustler, percee p, planet asia, ras kass, eligh of living legends (check living legends as well) and molemen crew. for some 2000 groups/artists worth checking: cannibal ox, edan, typical cats, binary star, elzhi, cunninlynguists, tonedeff, cyne, shad, j-live and killer mike hope this helps
fuckkkkkkk maaaaaasssive ammounts of lyricism and flow, dammit this guy definitely comes close to pun. Love J5 and love Chali2na the type of music you don't get tired of listening to.
Actually a freestyle. So far of all of the Freestyle 101's, Chali 2na and Del the Funky Homosapien are the only 2 I have seen that actually did it off the top of the head.
You khnow when I think of rap I think of the crappy mainstream stuff. That is why I went into a metal/deathcore route. I think I should get into the underground stuff.
This guy has the best voice in hip hop
broo listen to darc mind. very similar voice and vibes
Just saw Chali 2na play a show last night. Not only was it dope, but afterward, he just came off the stage and talked to everyone. So dope.
I asked him, "Who's your biggest inspirations?" and he told me he combined the kind of Melly Mel & Rakim kind of flow to become what he is. Super intriguing.
you actually saw khadafi from the outlaws! You actually saw 2pac and the outlawz featuring biggie smalls
That's dope awesome and also nice to Read
this guy is like
the morgan freeman of rap.
been saying this for fucking years, props
He's the Neil deGrasse Tyson of rap.
+cryomanc3r Sean Price was the Tyson of Rap. R.I.P.
Dyno Mutt
Yeah Sean P would always drop mad science on the beat
James Earl Jones of rap...
holy crap, i was gettin disapointed at first then, he blew it away haha, that was really sick props to 2na and J5.
This guy needs to start narrating stuff
That's what he is doing!
He is surpassed only by James Earl Jones
Move over Morgan Freeman!
Watch Dino 5. He and a few other top rappers do rap for kids
bruhhhh he knows the future "Bruce Jenner, or should i say Jenna?" lol Goddly
danm his voice can't be compared to no one else. love his flow.
The only one who sounds similar was Lord have mercy from Flipmode Squad
He has mega Myka9 vibes
@@user-tb4ys4zu6m he is heavily influenced by the freestyle fellowship:))) all friendz

One of the best deliveries in hip hop. He stands next to Biggie, Gift of Gab, and MF Doom.

One of the top sexiest men I've ever seen AND heard speak AND rap! Love him and this freestyle! Mmm!
after 1:39 he just tore it up
yeah he was warming up before, but then nailed it and ripped it apart
He. Is. The. Fucking. God. Of. Flow. I'm serious...he's just a fucking god.
Murdered
because he stopped freestyling at that point
@@taogoat27 you mean off the top
One my favourite MCs from day flows so cold 🥶
I could watch this over and over and over. Anyone know where I can find the lyrics? cant find em anywhere
Pure hip hop. Real lyrics. Just try to imagine making this up as you go.. LYRICAL GENIOUS "Chali Tunam the manphibian the fish outta water now lets GO"
Who has the beat! It's been years, who can step up and find it?
Nice Work from a LEGEND

One of the smoothest MC's ever
ya know j5 is a group of the most well spoken rappers i've ever had the pleasure of seeing and they're music is osm. especially fond of the freestyle with tom greene
I check this video once a week until someone can provide the background info on who created this dope ass beat.
You know you're amazing when you reference Star Wars when you freestyle.
Another pro, so could it could go to an album; so creative and detailed but nice
this is madness....unbelievable !!
This Tupac cousin

one of the most underrated lyrical masters of the new generation ... i wish folks quit sleeping on this dude ... 2na you da man ... check out his verse with mike shinoda and linkin park on "Reanimation" and he kills it ... destroys them dudes

His story is literally the same as Gift of Gab's. He got clowned by a neighborhood emcee and went home and wrote some shit to get back at him. Good shit. Cool to hear about Myka9.

let the sickest kind get midget and (??) for my thickest dummy ticket trying to sick my show
stop and still with the awkward play, was the (cop estate ?) rude your broke up wear
I'd enough stream to stop playin this track,
more green than this pen dispatch when men get me love like a tender's patch within his grab

now let's go
big ups for actually coming off the top...
Anyone recommend any other 1990's hip hops artists/groups?
im really into j5 fatlip some wutang stuff like that
Its almost like he was playing with you at first thinking he's weak then he just destroys.
off the dome great freestyle
His machine-gun like syllables are mind blowing, Chali is my favourite rapper by far.
took a while to start rhyming. then he flipped it all the way over. tru freestyle I do believe. props!
Why did I have a feeling that the guy Chali 2na was talking about that he saw battle was Myka 9....why did I have that feeling? LMFAO
bars like xrazy bars. cha cha STILL KILLING WITH BAR BABEREK BARS
@jonarosen think its like anything else in that he was trying to get a feel for it and warm up a bit at the start. you can see the wheels turnin in his head as he's listening to it in the beginning.
'Women give me love like a tennis match' 'I feel the force like my sister was princess leia'
Unreal freestyle.
@Nogoals92 Haha I kinda thought that too but after a couple replays I realized the first half of it is an introduction.
Anyone know what the instrumental is? I recognise it but cannot for the life of me remember who it's by...
To listen to him flow to spittin' truth was dope.
@Thomas Olsen
It's "women show me love like a Tennis Match"
if you're really asking, here are some recommedations of some groups and artists: hieroglyphics, freestyle fellowship, organized konfusion, blackalicious, latyrx, mood, company flow, smooth da hustler, percee p, planet asia, ras kass, eligh of living legends (check living legends as well) and molemen crew.
for some 2000 groups/artists worth checking: cannibal ox, edan, typical cats, binary star, elzhi, cunninlynguists, tonedeff, cyne, shad, j-live and killer mike
hope this helps
Did anyone figure out where this beat is from? I can not get it out of my mind!
JUST BRILLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plz tell me if there is a name with this instrumental!!!
man to he heard myka 9 battle that's ill chali2na one of the greats
the rapper everyone that mob under - hide when the thunders fired - or my metaphors will mummify. Damn Chali 2na's on some sick shit.
hes flying on the beat
that beat just got RIP'd
fuckkkkkkk maaaaaasssive ammounts of lyricism and flow, dammit this guy definitely comes close to pun.
Love J5 and love Chali2na the type of music you don't get tired of listening to.
this always makes me feel better
one of the best freestyles ever
Actually a freestyle. So far of all of the Freestyle 101's, Chali 2na and Del the Funky Homosapien are the only 2 I have seen that actually did it off the top of the head.
I think he stopped freestyling at 1:39 and started spitting rhymes he previously knew. I think PEACE & Myka 9's Freestyle 101 were pure off the dome.
blows your mind away :) gg chali
I love the beat he rhymes over
@jako34 Don't know if it's from a song. It could be just a verse, or as some would say, an "old school freestyle".
He having fun this Charli 2una killed It
DAMN he fucking murders it... BEAT THIS, MTV !
in the start he was free styling then he spat a written verse around 1:39 . hella dope tho. chali 2na is the shit
