I luv the fact that DEL really spit a freestyle on this. He even fucked up a few times but it was real from the off the top of his brain. Number one for that in my books, Ladybug Mecca added bonus.
He can have fun because his legacy is forever cemented and he doesn’t have a major label weighing him down. Saw him a few days ago love with Hiero and I didn’t think I would stan as much as I did.
Personally. Both sides of the brain is fucking alien in nature. DEL is one of the 10 most talented to ever do it imo. Did you know that Eminem and Andre 3000 used to nerd out over his group Hieroglphics lyrics. DEL is literally one of the 5-10 greatest ever by anyone with a brain. My top-5 might be guys like Big Daddy Kane, Eminem, DEL The Funkee Homosapien .... Those 3 are for sure in there bc they are originators.
Someone who actually spit a real freestyle on this program most of the guest come in way to hot with bars that you know are written and added to memory. Fuckin love Del's style and nonchalant attitude.
Lyrically I think he is better too. Personally. Both sides of the brain is fucking alien in nature. DEL is one of the 10 most talented to ever do it imo.

i've been following hip hop for nearly 30 years and as hard as i thought i was in high school, i never had the mental thought process to free style. shit, my rhymes sounded shitty. i make fun of guys who spit and can't play instruments, but in truth, their creativity and flow ability makes them musicians of soul.
I had the chance to see Deltron 3030 perform live in Long Beach a few years ago. At one point during the set, the music stopped suddenly apparently due to losing power on stage (I think the mics and some lights were still working, though). While Dan the Automator and the production crew were trying to get power back on, Del had the drummer play a beat and started spitting the dopest freestyle (off the dome) for us until they got the power working again, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the show.
I know it’s already been said but I really appreciate Del spitting off the top freestyle and Lady Bug can say anything it’s gonna be fresh slick n butter. oh my lord
and there you have it kids that's what a freestyle is!! 80's babies and 90's kids know what a real freestyle is this the shit we would do to instrumentals
you could tell from his face he was probably stoned by some loud ass weed. Could also explain why he sometimes stumbled ono words. Its harder to rap high af than its sober
Ladybug was fire sun luv should have had more time and we definitely need a brand-new digiable plant album, Lady bug is definitely an underrated lyricist. Would love to see ladybug mecca and Lauryn Hill do an album
I saw Deltron at The House of Blues in Chicago last week. Kid Koala spun for like 2 hours getting the crowd hyped. In the middle of his set Lady Bug came out and dropped lines for a couple minutes before they both broke into It's Good To Be Here. Shit was siiiiick
Del is my fav rapper personally. Both sides of the brain is fucking alien in nature. DEL is one of the 10 most talented to ever do it imo.

Someone seriously needs to introduced Del to Kid Cudi. I've been a Del fan since the late 90's and when I heard Kid Cudis Man on the Moon 2 all I saw was a Del and Kudi mix tape. This needs to happen.
"And no quittin or gittin chumped by the system. It's all day. All play. Got verbs and such. And cuts. And crew. No blue eyes to emulate. Some straight, but yeah we straight up fonky" ~Ladybug; Jettin I mean DAMN! Just got through listenin to Ladybug verse on 'Jettin' and I'm still amazed by this woman. I was 16 when Blowout Comb dropped, and of course, the whole shyt is still FOREVA hip hop. Digable Planets if you need reference. Hate I just came across her solo album after all these years. Lotta rythym onnit, I just wanna digest the styles. She is the sentient epitome of Afro+Brazilian. Love her to life. P
Off the head Del is the Shhhh!! Always loved Ladybug Mecca she is a dope Ass Emcee would love for her a Del to colab on a joint produced by Dan The Automator
I love his throwback Deltron3030 sh** its so original and unique it was alternative to mainstream hiphop its relevent to this day it was futuristic and intellectual type rap

I saw Del in 02 at a Common, Like Water for Chocolate show; as well as Talib and Mos Def. Del and Talib dropped freestyles that basically stole the entire show. Great talents.
What i like about older freestyles like this (Del) is that you could tell there weren't any or very few lines they got ready to spew when they heard a trigger word. no punchline set ups or anything like they do nowadays. Don't get me wrong, when I hear an eminem type freestyle with a bunch of punchlines, it's great but this old style is a lost art where there are very few (or none at all) set ups. He's laughing a lot because you could tell he's really trying to think of shit from the top of his head instead of pulling shit from the past.
the thing about this freestyle is that Del is actually FREESTYLING not memorizing a page in his notebook for an upcoming release like everyone does nowdays.
Good thing that Mecca is a sweetie or else.. I like her voice. For all you cats that are unaware. DEL rhymed Off The Head. A Free Style is a rhyme Not associated with a song already made. Off The Head is a skill, which All Emcees can do. Free Style is talent involving memorization for those who can not be spontaneous. Also known as a Rapper....
An actual real off the top freestyle... This man is an absolute legend!.

Definitely shot it off the dome in this one lmao

Damn after all these years ladybug still fine
Ladybug is so fine😍. I could listen to her voice all day
Love that this is a real freestyle off the dome. NIce.
Who picked a beat like that for Del? Sounds like some 2004 shit G-Unit passed on.
Del is chill as he'll. he probably finished off a joint before heading inside.
you could tell from his face he was probably stoned by some loud ass weed. Could also explain why he sometimes stumbled ono words. Its harder to rap high af than its sober
@@dreadghoul23 damn a reply after six years!
@@illwayz313 lol yeah I was watching some souls of mischief/Hiero/Del videos yesterday haha

Ladybug Mecca Though..
Damn... Ladybug spit some dope stuff, considering she wasn't expecting to even be on the mic.

This needs to be done. Two of my favorites.
Edgar Pintor im a huge Cudi fan if you say this much about them both I'll look into Del alot more
Del isnt a sell out
Bruh... that's nuts, it's like you're in my damn brain. Always thought the same.
loving that del flow
Ladybug has always been a beast
I recommend locking yourself in a colorful room, eating a handful of mushrooms, and listening to "Both Sides of the Brain."
omg... I literally screamed when lady agreed to freestyle!!
Del is like an old sage in hip-hop
Mecca was rapping to a Blackstarr
Del is the real deal! Spitting over some Bay Area slap respect
Hiphop royalty right there!!

That's that off that top real freestyle. No written stuff you memorize and spit.
Del is one of the best rappers in the game hands down!!!
Arguably one of the top 5 emcees ever in my book, alongside, Aceyalone, Krs One, Masta Ace , and I dont evan know who else
Can't put Gab there, I thought of that, Frsstyle Fellowship, maybe Del is more easily listenable, I like Hiero, Tajai also is underestimated

LADYBUG i member from digiable planets :3

Press rewind goes hard af! Del my man!
del is king!!!!!
the thing about this freestyle is that Del is actually FREESTYLING not memorizing
a page in his notebook for an upcoming release like everyone does nowdays.
Del rocking that Electric snap.
This is a real freestyle kids. Pay attention. No prewritten.
Mecca the Ladybug changin like seasons.
yeah but Dels beat was kinda whack he still killed it tho
upgrade your grey matter kids
please we need a new DIGABLE PLANETS album!
Upgrade your gray matter...cuz one day it may matter #DELTRON3030

my favourite two
He could hang with Jeru but the way he pronounces his O's are completely type California hahaha
How they cut DEL off in the middle of a line! “LET ME FINISH”
Del is highly underrated, along with guys like Treach and Black thought in my opinion.
