But I jus wanna rock, yadda yadda yah!!! 😂 I couldn't agree more I capped my intake of hiphop as soon as most of the goats started retiring. Only a select few from the new age tick my boxes and that's jcole and kendrick. I'm sick of senseless dribble over a hard beat....... WASTE of a beat 😢
He gave you a story, vocabulary, metaphors on top of metaphors, all in a clear intelligible, understandable on the beat,in rhythm flow. From the early days of rap to today, still relevant and on top of the game. You’re CRAZY if he’s not in the top all time. No back seat to anybody.
Yeah, but it wasn’t a real freestyle meaning he wrote all that out before hand not to take away from the verse, but not as impressive as people coming on the show and actually coming up with stuff off the top of their head…
It's a damn shame the younger crowd only know LL from acting. Dude is a legend on the mic.. "moving chess pieces like telekinesis, as a toddler he walked with 2 panthers on leashes"🔥🔥🔥🗽🗽
You do know when he was about 19 he had a album called "Walking with a Panther". And on the album cover he posed with a panther and the panther was wearing LL's gold rope chain. Mind you this was 89😮
"Umbilical cord turned into gold as a mic appeared in his hand..." WHAATTTT!!! THIS FAYAAA!! THE LEGEND IS TALKING ON HIW HIS BORN INTO THIS WORLD IN A LEGENDARY WAY!! FAYAAA!!💥💥
@@ttdanimations1231 Just because he was touring with Black Thought doesn't mean he wrote it. It wasn't setup for him to freestyle, he just asked him to freestyle in the midst of an interview. So I doubt Black Thought wrote this.
Many...the way real MCs are well read and just have a depth of references...history, classic literature, poets, pop, mythology, iconic imagery all while staying in pocket and finding where to play on the beat...nasty and timeless.
Freestyles meant writtens free of style, structure, bridge, hook, chorus. Off the dome is the improvised on the spot verse.......that gets mixed in as what a freestyle is. LL spit written aka a Freestyle.
76, I always make my son play me two songs when I'm hanging out with his peeps. To show them the difference between hip hop and rap.. cause they don't really know
This is why I will always say, when it comes to hip hop, no one cares about age. I don't care if a rapper is 40,50 or 60, if they can still flow, they can still flow. LL Is a legend
Us old heads grew up with lyricism and freestyles were the stone where you sharpen your tongue. Keep bringing the legends back to drop some bars for the culture.
Whattt he killed that & just when you thought he was going to say burned, he said Ash then went onto more fire barz saying crematorium 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This whole rap was fire 💯🔥🔥🔥
I don't know why the youngstas think "L" can't spit!!! He been the GOAT for 5 decades now!!! Run DMC, KRS, Rakim, Kane, Cool G, Nas, Tupac, Biggie and "LL" are the reasons why Hip Hop will never die!!!
I Was nervous for him to be way off, But he sounded better to me here than a lot of his previous material! AND unc is humble in giving game, LongLive Cool J ✨🙌🏾👑
He kept it so casual and was able to burn the studio down! 🔥 No wonder why Marshall respects this man so much, I love it .. .. keep the bars coming LLegend!
Son I'm from NYC been listening to all types of lyricists, I never was an L fan per se but damn, he completely burnt the whole thing down. Mad new respect for L. I'd say RBE Loaded vs L for the title.
COLD!!!🥶🥶🥶 Love the way real MCs are well read and just have a depth of references...history, classic literature, poets, pop, mythology, iconic imagery all while staying in pocket and finding where to play on the beat...nasty and timeless.
The Goat.. nobody can't out rap him...👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 freestyle off the dome he could've make this a rap song straight vet to ever do it.. the Greatest of all time...💯👌🏽
At age 55, LL still has some "gun boats" on him. I think he has been lifting weights for a couple of decades now. He is an example of longevity in strength and muscle conditioning; and he is also an inspiration to start exercising if you haven't been.
This shit gave me chills, straight raw & 🔥 and he still got it like it never left
This is why us old heads won't stop talking about the importance of lyrics!
WORD!
Annnnnnddddddd you could hear every single word........I will always rock with the Old School Hip Hop legends!!! Happy 50th Hip Hop!!
Talk yo shit Homie 🫡
But I jus wanna rock, yadda yadda yah!!! 😂 I couldn't agree more I capped my intake of hiphop as soon as most of the goats started retiring. Only a select few from the new age tick my boxes and that's jcole and kendrick. I'm sick of senseless dribble over a hard beat....... WASTE of a beat 😢
@@nattydredkaHells MUFUKIN Yeah!
"To the parents he's a legend, to the children a myth."
That shit hit different man
@@therealjordieyea now that we're older, it sure does
Facts!
Big facts
Lyricism. Go LL. 💪🏽
LL Cool J = still something like a phenomenon.
"Cause age don't count in the booth, when your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth"
ask the teenagers, OGs and ask the kids, what the definition of classic is......timeless
Rakim ya heard
5 decades n still timeless with da flow n lyrics 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My name is Peter McNeil Jr and I agree lol
TIMELESS.
LL never gets mentioned when people talk about the GOAT but he’s been there consistently since day 1.
@manuel_winde he created the term. Amazing 🐐
TO THIS DAY!!!
He gave you a story, vocabulary, metaphors on top of metaphors, all in a clear intelligible, understandable on the beat,in rhythm flow. From the early days of rap to today, still relevant and on top of the game. You’re CRAZY if he’s not in the top all time. No back seat to anybody.
True meaning of hip hop!! Well said!!
Word! I miss raps like these. Straight intelligence on the mic educating on every level of lyricism
Yeah, but it wasn’t a real freestyle meaning he wrote all that out before hand not to take away from the verse, but not as impressive as people coming on the show and actually coming up with stuff off the top of their head…
He prepared and performed. No points deducted.
Still the goat
LL still got it 🔥🔥🔥
He never lost it
That's an understatement.... L is fire ... young rappers take notes!
@retlaw190 facts
still got it?? are you a newbie?? he never lost it !!!
It's a damn shame the younger crowd only know LL from acting. Dude is a legend on the mic.. "moving chess pieces like telekinesis, as a toddler he walked with 2 panthers on leashes"🔥🔥🔥🗽🗽
Word. I had to play songs for them to understand...same for Will Smith and Queen Latifah.
@gak4581 facts!!!! Latifah better than half of the rappers today🤣🤣
Shit I grew up in the 90s by then ll was making hits for the ladies but he's a true mc from back in the 80s
You do know when he was about 19 he had a album called "Walking with a Panther". And on the album cover he posed with a panther and the panther was wearing LL's gold rope chain. Mind you this was 89😮
@stackmosayless-1669 yes sir indeed!!! I was 2 years old when that album dropped ☹️🤣 I'm old.. but that's why I typed that bar. That album was 🔥
"Umbilical cord turned into gold as a mic appeared in his hand..." WHAATTTT!!! THIS FAYAAA!! THE LEGEND IS TALKING ON HIW HIS BORN INTO THIS WORLD IN A LEGENDARY WAY!! FAYAAA!!💥💥
"back to elevate the culture, that is my only Motive"..... 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Revolutionary with guns loaded
Back to "Revlevate," the culture
That's my only motive.
😂😂 It was dope but yeah he did miss that one.
💯💯💯💯💯
@@BoogieBoogsForeverhe would've missed the pocket it if he pronounced "elevate" instead, so he had to stretch that one a bit
Wasnt expecting to hear a new LL freestyle at all! OG snapped 💯
Frfr
Like a god
Them hyenas got scared.
Don't think it was really off the top of the head.
@@iamhereblossom1588 Show us ANY proof that it wasn't a freestyle.
40 years at it...still 🔥
THAT'S WHAT IS KNOWN AS REAL HIP HOP!!! YOU YOUNG BOYS COULD NEVER UNDERTSTAND!!!!
i only watched it 22 times since finding it yesterday. everyone does that I'm sure.
Yes, we do
I concur with the person above
Imagine if it was longer
this was very obviously written by black thought. it’s not LL’s flow or style at all, and he was touring with them at the time.
@@ttdanimations1231 Just because he was touring with Black Thought doesn't mean he wrote it. It wasn't setup for him to freestyle, he just asked him to freestyle in the midst of an interview. So I doubt Black Thought wrote this.
This is too dope, legendary moment
Seriously. This is crazy
Ya know spit spitting Like daBless 1Amen! Da goAt Master! Mr smith Out Of Many Man mmmany men da #1)😮 #LLCoolj # AL-WAYs1L😊Ve
You ain’t lie!!!!!! Sheesh
He Snapped ! It shows how much those from his era took the Freestyles seriously. There were layers in that Freestyle !
Many...the way real MCs are well read and just have a depth of references...history, classic literature, poets, pop, mythology, iconic imagery all while staying in pocket and finding where to play on the beat...nasty and timeless.
@@kudabeenschool 'em som
Don't think it was a real freestyle.
@@iamhereblossom1588it wasn’t. He’s rapped it before
Freestyles meant writtens free of style, structure, bridge, hook, chorus. Off the dome is the improvised on the spot verse.......that gets mixed in as what a freestyle is. LL spit written aka a Freestyle.
As an 80's baby.. My soul Needed this!! 🙌🏾
Word. Just saw him live last week. Never missed a step
76, I always make my son play me two songs when I'm hanging out with his peeps. To show them the difference between hip hop and rap.. cause they don't really know
💯
“Watch yaself don’t ever step outta line, LL Cool J --, greatest of all time.” LL COOL J
LL marked his territory on that mic in Sway's studio.
I'm still replaying this man's verses catching hidden bars. Mad respect.
"The same drugs they gave Hemmingway and Edgar Allen Poe, the whole world is RAVEN for the baby to bell tolls" ... he's on a different level
love LL but this was very obviously written by black thought. it’s not LL’s flow or style at all, and he was touring with them at the time.
This is why I will always say, when it comes to hip hop, no one cares about age. I don't care if a rapper is 40,50 or 60, if they can still flow, they can still flow. LL Is a legend
And thats how you drop lethal bars. No fillers, just straight amo. L been killing it for decades now.
Z3MCS we started with LL and salt and pepper you had to be dope back then
@@marvincaldwell3564 exactly right. I could rattle off a massive list but we both know already.
The LL Cool J freestyle we didn’t tought we needed! 🔥 Wasn’t expecting him delivering that way, timeless MC 💯
*think
Us old heads grew up with lyricism and freestyles were the stone where you sharpen your tongue. Keep bringing the legends back to drop some bars for the culture.
Yo, a lil freaking louder please
Holy shit!!! He’s still got it 👊🤘
Most heads from that era are still beast. He's definitely one of them.
His demeanour changed when he went into his MC mode, that was fucking cool to see. OG Hyena.
Whattt he killed that & just when you thought he was going to say burned, he said Ash then went onto more fire barz saying crematorium 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This whole rap was fire 💯🔥🔥🔥
That's funny you say that cuz I was like why didn't he say burn lol
@@youngvic22 Most artists would but he lyricist to be different you got to think out of the box i do it in my music 🙏
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it. GOAT.
This!
Dam bro I had commented this same thing on another sway LL upload, I’m surprised no one had caught that until now I read this comment. Very clever!
In 5 years we will be back here listening to this freestyle. This will forever be TIMELESS. Giving you, your flowers while you're still with us LL🎉
Verse is on The Force album, song is called The Vow. GOAT album...literally 🐐
That's true Hip Hop, Story telling, poetry and Knowledge! People forget LL can really spit.
love him but this was very obviously written by black thought. it’s not LL’s flow or style at all, and he was touring with them at the time.
It's crazy how his style is almost identical to what it was 30 years ago and still relevant and CRUSHING it.
...and THAT is why he is on my top 5 of ALL time. You betta' remind them Todd. 🔥🐐
The inventor of G.O.A.T giving us a reminder...🙌
THIS is true.
Less than 2 minutes he just killed every new modern day rapper career.
It was good but naw. You obviously aint seen King Los's la leakers freestyle.
@@denrico777 his songs terrible man, he can freestyle only
LL does both, Legend
@@bobby6009 we talking bout a freestyle though.
love LL but this was very obviously written by black thought. it’s not LL’s flow or style at all, and he was touring with them at the time.
The GOAT 🎤🔥🔥🔥
LL Cool J Is Hard As Hell 😊😊😊😊😊
Battle anybody, I don't care who you tell
PAUSE
Rock the bells 🔔
A dying art. Had me walking with him focused in on the rhymes he was spittin. Absolutely a legend in the game.
He doesn't just rap, he tells a story!
Incredible
LL is a legend 🔥
That is what’s missing in 90% of music. I have no idea what to call it but that is it.
Actual talent
Call it real hip hop
True MC Skills!!!
Honed to razor sharp perfection!!
40 plus years in the industry and he has just gotten better and better!
This clip made my day!!
Bars.
What they all said + story telling
For LL COOL J to freestyle is the last thing that I’ll ever think about. This is a blessing for us. He handled that beat legendarily✊🏾
Do you even know who and what he is? Lol 😂
LL just lit of that set 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
G.O.A.T!!!!!!
He married that beat and own it forever 🔥
Man’s hasn’t aged a day and still dropping bars + substance. 🔥
When something is unsurprisingly and surprisingly fire at the same time 🔥 🔥
I don't know why the youngstas think "L" can't spit!!! He been the GOAT for 5 decades now!!! Run DMC, KRS, Rakim, Kane, Cool G, Nas, Tupac, Biggie and "LL" are the reasons why Hip Hop will never die!!!
One-word.... Magnificent!!
LL will serve it 2 any m.c. that would try him in 2024 still the g.o.a.t real m.c. lyricist menace since 85
LL Cool J 🔥 Was the one who Coined the phrase G.O.A.T. 🐐It’s no secret why he’s considered the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Man, he never gets credit for it either.
It was actually Ali, but modern times your right
@@WalkingWallet Correct. Ali coined the phrase and named his company GOAT.
I Was nervous for him to be way off, But he sounded better to me here than a lot of his previous material! AND unc is humble in giving game, LongLive Cool J ✨🙌🏾👑
Nervous of the Goat?
Factuals
His stuff is always different and unique. He don't need the beat to make him good he makes the beat good whether the beat is good or bad
This is a pro… c’mon now
He kept it so casual and was able to burn the studio down! 🔥
No wonder why Marshall respects this man so much, I love it ..
.. keep the bars coming LLegend!
And Tupac
I honestly think em made ll step his game up in a good way
Always in top 5 !!! 🐐
Son I'm from NYC been listening to all types of lyricists, I never was an L fan per se but damn, he completely burnt the whole thing down. Mad new respect for L. I'd say RBE Loaded vs L for the title.
That was F'n badass!

Mumble rappers please take notes, this is how Hip-Hop is done correctly.
The one, the only, the originator of the g.o.a.t. and lives up to it every time he blesses the mic
Made me scrunch my face in the best way. This verse was a masterpiece. Incredible wordplay. Masterful storytelling.
Sooooo gooood LL still got it
LL just slaughtered that 🎙
🔥🔥🔥🔥 He blessed us!
I’ve heard him kick this rhyme before, but, he sounds good. Glad to see an OG doing well, and looking healthy.
Where?
This is from a weeks ago.
This is not the first comment to say this BS. And just like the other comments, none have sources to back it up
@Harry64278 I did it acapella on award show. Still dope either way! Better now
1 of the greatest performers ever on stage too. LL is the standard.
Your favorite rapper ain’t here without the impact of LL
My GOODNESS!!! 🔥
The G.O.A.T.
Dreams do come true. My favorite artist of all time doing freestyle on Sway. Legendary man. Goodness I needed that. LL BABY!! 😎🕺🏾 G.O.A.T.🔥🔥💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾
At age 55, LL still has some "gun boats" on him. I think he has been lifting weights for a couple of decades now. He is an example of longevity in strength and muscle conditioning; and he is also an inspiration to start exercising if you haven't been.
He's 56
He still got it he went in 💯💯👍👑
Talk to em goat!!!!!!!! 🐐

Stay ready so he didn't have to get ready
OMG drop the Mic LL killed that Freestyle 🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Rewind so nice had to play it again OMG👑👑👑
He started off chill and took it to another level before he got to the end! That was a drop the mic type rap! Dang!!! 😮❤
This guy needed to be the host of the celebration of 50 yrs of hip hop fam! These bars from Everyone is just love. Thank you sway!

@@MrfuckinBeilke Yessir!!!
True and living Goat. This was incredible!! He still has it? Never lost it apparently. Thank the most high for this display of skill.
P.S. LL Cool J is such a goat that he is not aware how much he crushed the mic. That was a seasoned jay electronica style flow to me.
This brings me great joy.
Sway is ALWAYS going to be that dude. Nothing but love and respect. LL is definitely the GOAT!
One of the best rap I ever heard and I am 52.
Killed it
