I like listening to his freestyles almost more than his released songs. People get so upset that he has better free styles than their favorite rappers.
He completely changed after 2012.. Not for the worst though, just each year he got better and different with it, truly the definition of his own person
It's so weird. I remember watching this when it first came out and thinking he was the best, and back then I had no clue he was about to get 100x better.
Gustav Johansson hes wearing headphones, they probably cant hear the beat just him rapping. I'd still be feeling it, but hey the song would feel totally different acapella
Childish Gambino is definitely one of my favorite rappers out there. He has a unique appeal to him. Sure, you can have amazing lyrics and flow, but if you have nothing that seperates you and pulls people in, it doesn't matter.
Charles Matthews Thank you! In my opinion that is true freestyle talent. Most rappers are improvising with rhymes and words that they practice all the time. For him to use NEW FRESH words from his fans it takes true talent. Check out my new freestyle if you like Gambino's freestyles-stay blessed
Jay Haines hahaha 😂 you funny bro. Aye if you guys enjoy freestyles like this i have been influenced by Gambino my whole life and think you would actually enjoy my new freestyle-stay blessed
There's a difference between freestyle and off the top. On HOT97 he did an off the dome and that was some of the tightest flows I've heard. This is a freestyle where he spits how he wants. Whether he made it or I've heard some fans tweeted things to say, are you really gonna deny this is hot?
bino freestyles on 1st and 2nd. he pulls out his phone on the 2nd bc hes on twitter. his fans were tweeting him random words to include in the freestyle . at 3:20 he laughs bc someone tweeted something about 'bok choi' (not sure what it is or how its spelled, sorry)
lmfao bok choi, its a Chinese vegetable. I remember in high school my journalism teacher would always send me to go get him his bok choi. Everyone would always question him wtf that shit was.
He pulled out his iPhone reading twitter feeds and freestyled from there..don't judge Gambino when y'all dont know shit..go watch an interview if you really care about rappers
Donald Glover is a great example of someone who uses their skills in a tactful combination to diversify. This is what people need to do if they want to thrive in a new economy where one trick ponies can't because unskilled work is overpopulated. Basically if you want to thrive combine skills and claim your throne...
All these idiots thinking he was reading off his phone, smh. He asked his fans on twitter for topics, proving he can rap about anything and make it work.
If you watched Gambinos interviews he has compared himself to Em before, when on about how a lot of his raps aren't serious and how he likes comedy rap like Em and Lonely Island
Just to clear it up. He's not reading lyrics he's freestyling off of tweets he's reading. Get your facts straight before you make a fool of yourself, and this freestyle was like 2 years ago, even before because of the internet was dropped. Just a little fyi.
Dat was FIRE that should be a rap song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He isn't bad. He hell of a lot better than Rick Ross or Drake or Lil Wayne. Best freestyler is without a doubt immortal technique. His music isn't popular because he dosent rap about bitches or money or anything like that he raps about what's wrong with society and the government and shit. Go check em out Immortal Technique he a beast
hes new to rapping, hes gonna get bigger... for sure... just needs to find his voice/his style... a lot of it is all over, but he spits some pretty sweet bars.
Freestyle or off-the-dome, it doesn't really matter because no rapper is actually making up lines off the top of their head in the moment. Honestly, you would have to be incredibly naive to think that any person could instantly write poetry in rhythm without a slip up. Whether a person is rapping freestyle or off-the-doom, they thought about their lines before hand. Usually the rapper will just use lines that they recycle whenever the line is appropriate, or simply use the same rhyming words over and over again. Or I suppose they could just add an -izzo or -izzle in each line hahaha.
That's too much of a generalisation. Although you are right about most freestyles, the ones that are exceptional are the ones that are truly off the top off the dome. For instance ever c a freestyle record braking attempt? like this 1; /watch?v=yXJl0m5E4Lk&spfreload=10
Punditube I've watched plenty of freestyle and off-the-dome. Typically when freestyling the rapper just raps a pre-written verse over a foreign beat. When its off-the-dome the rapper usually struggles a bit with flow, uses numerous filler words and grunts, and then spits lines that were clearly thought out at some point in time.
dont know why they censored nigga but not God damnit at 1:36. gambino's fuckin lazy, regardless of whether the freestyle is rehearsed, ultimate fail for readin it off ur phone.
No they can not! The whole meaning "free style" means it is free from style, so to write it is to give it structure and style! If it is pre-written its just a rap song, not a freestyle. Urban dictionary it bitch.
for people saying he's reading off of his phone, he's on twitter looking for one word tweets to rap about, watch the interview before talking shit...
Hard. People always take the negative view first.
Do you know where can i see the whole interview? I can't find it
Sadows12 You can literally see the phone screen like 3/4 of the way through the video. He's obviously reading bars.
Jonah Smith Read what Sadows wrote. He was looking on twitter. dont type unless you see what he said
You can see that it isn't twitter. I can promise you no one is that nice MisterM Urder
Man idk how Bino killed this. My vibe would instantly be killed with the most unenthusiastic people in the world surrounding me
honestly😂
The host is alright
I like listening to his freestyles almost more than his released songs. People get so upset that he has better free styles than their favorite rappers.
Tyler Moser TRUTH
He completely changed after 2012.. Not for the worst though, just each year he got better and different with it, truly the definition of his own person
Thats how its supposed to be right? Get better and better and make music you like.
It is indeed
SkylerXV honestly I prefer his older stuff not a big fan of his new album
Will Filippo the genre us different but he mostly speaks about more serious shit
Evoluting
I've seen him live a few times, he always does a freestyle off the top close to the end. Kills it every time.
I feel you on that level, Benny. 🔥
"I dont need illuminati, i can fuckin start my own" best line of this freestyle
i was scrolling through the comments and i as i heard him say it i read your comment
+Frag-Trap same here lol
In his pound cake freestyle “tell people the truth u can be iconic”
Nothing He can't do
Win an award for 30 Rock
Cult show community
Grammy nominated artist
TH-cam superstar
1 hour comedy special on CC
+Langston Lee he's brilliant.
He should be the next Peter Parker(Spider-Man). He would be awesome.
+Sticks and Stones lol lets not start that again
+Sticks and Stones Yes
+Sticks and Stones he'd make a better Miles Morales Spider Man in my opinion
This was before Gambino became the mastermind he is
It's so weird. I remember watching this when it first came out and thinking he was the best, and back then I had no clue he was about to get 100x better.
He was a mastermind way before he did this what are you talking about
+Polar - Destiny Content he was always a mastermind
+Amos Martinez Gambino is a mastermind.... Fucking bitches to pass the time
+ArtSchoolFailures Freaks And Geeks is my shit
3:00 "I'm rapping at fuckin statues" lmao literally, the people in that room look dead
but that self-scratch at 3:34 tho lol. Gambino kills, his wordplay is serious yo.
2010- he was a "fuck bitches get money" rapper. Present day- he is an artist
Brendon Grandberry he's been an artist
he used to be smart, witty and funny. Now hes just a shitty hipster artist sadly
you gotta watch atlanta. its funny as hell.
YOU CRAZY... I think he was referring to you at 2:48
I only knew him as a comedian, little did I know that he is also a serious rapper
and a serious actor he was on community
and the genius in "The Martian."
And he's starring in a show next month "atlanta"
+Max Loelius yeah ik he's a programmer too I could go on and on lol
and he recently made a show it just started its called atlanta he stars in it
this is just my opinion, and it's probably like 7am, but everybody in the room looks hella bored and it's distracting.
I swear
At the end of the day, they're at work, they listen to music and see music live all day.
Just my opinion though.
the people in the background always look bored as shit you should see the guy in the back during kid cudis freestyle lmao
dude the beat only comes thru headphones
They're British my friend.
He's so humble, love his music and freestyles
The dj scratch still lives rent-free in my head
3:35 how did he make that sound? Lol that was dope tho
It's called a vocal scratch, I'm a beatboxer, he's not that great at it, takes practice.
My thought exactly! I was thrown off by that. lol
He make that noise too on Sweatpants!
I guess we can add beatboxing to his list of any talents. He probably learned how to do that because he's a dj and does scratches that sound similar.
***** shut up cause your unheard
Those background ppl just sittin there like they aint feelin it. Whats up with that??
Gustav Johansson hes wearing headphones, they probably cant hear the beat just him rapping. I'd still be feeling it, but hey the song would feel totally different acapella
fuck em.. this the bets freestyle I eva heard lol
3:34 God damn how'd he make that disk scratch sound?
HOW TF ARE THESE PEOPLE SO CHILL IN THE BACKGROUND ON THEIR PHONES DAFUQ ID BE SCREAMING!!!!
Childish Gambino is definitely one of my favorite rappers out there. He has a unique appeal to him. Sure, you can have amazing lyrics and flow, but if you have nothing that seperates you and pulls people in, it doesn't matter.
Dang. He killed that free style. I love the line about if you dont have haters youre not doing you.
my favourite westwood freestyle
You can see the twitter feed on his phone from the side
He is not reading a rap,he is reading tweets and turning them in to his rap
Charles Matthews Thank you! In my opinion that is true freestyle talent. Most rappers are improvising with rhymes and words that they practice all the time. For him to use NEW FRESH words from his fans it takes true talent. Check out my new freestyle if you like Gambino's freestyles-stay blessed
HOW CAN HE SIT IN THE BACK CHEWING HIS NAILS WHEN JESUS IS IN FRONT OF HIM
I would be worshiping this mastermind! Probably one of the best freestyle rappers around. And he's an actor and a comedian wth?
Jay Haines hahaha 😂 you funny bro. Aye if you guys enjoy freestyles like this i have been influenced by Gambino my whole life and think you would actually enjoy my new freestyle-stay blessed
There's a difference between freestyle and off the top. On HOT97 he did an off the dome and that was some of the tightest flows I've heard. This is a freestyle where he spits how he wants. Whether he made it or I've heard some fans tweeted things to say, are you really gonna deny this is hot?
thank you. well put
that room didn't know how blessed they were
bino freestyles on 1st and 2nd. he pulls out his phone on the 2nd bc hes on twitter. his fans were tweeting him random words to include in the freestyle . at 3:20 he laughs bc someone tweeted something about 'bok choi' (not sure what it is or how its spelled, sorry)
lmfao bok choi, its a Chinese vegetable. I remember in high school my journalism teacher would always send me to go get him his bok choi. Everyone would always question him wtf that shit was.
"if u aint got a bunch of haters man then you aint doin you" TRUE SHITTTT
Bino's and Cudi's Westwood vids always make me come back and watch again
Guess what this guy actually "raps" unlike most "rappers" nowadays
3:34 w.t.f!?!?!?
How did he do that dj scratch sound??
Beatboxing technique.
Search beatboxing scratch sounds
The flow and the voice blew me away! Nice
Gambino read through his twitter feed for freestyle topics, simmer down
That sound he makes at the end is so ASMR
I luv it when he does his freestyle
3:35 scratch noise was dope
hes going hard and people around him are like whatever
Gambino is the best and has the best freestyles. Been a fan since camp Gambino
Dam childish bambino just kills this of the top. One of today's better of the top rappers.
dis dude is the truth
He is legendary!
gambino is underated AF
21st century Lando
most impressive freestyle i've heard in a while.
he did this over usher's lemme see and another one over drake's pound cake…SO MUCH RESPECT and amazing music taste
He pulled out his iPhone reading twitter feeds and freestyled from there..don't judge Gambino when y'all dont know shit..go watch an interview if you really care about rappers
some of the best bars I've heard from bino on this freestyle. excited to hear because the internet.
Donald Glover is a great example of someone who uses their skills in a tactful combination to diversify. This is what people need to do if they want to thrive in a new economy where one trick ponies can't because unskilled work is overpopulated.

All these idiots thinking he was reading off his phone, smh. He asked his fans on twitter for topics, proving he can rap about anything and make it work.
dunno how he still kill it wit dem vibe killin ppl in the room
Truth hurts, think fast shoot first beast-like blue fur. WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!!
Troy and Abed in the mooorning
Andrew Ryans i missed that show so much. Wish he would've stayed till season six
Andrew Ryans troy and abed are in mourning
He got diff flow than anyone else. He the mastermind bro....
He's the freestyle god
"I don't need illuminati I can fucking start my own" that line though.
Love his raps and stand-up. Keep up the good work, Gambino!
people who know nothing about rap compare anyone to eminem even if they sound nothing alike
Agree one hundred percent. I hate when people compare Gambino to Eminem. Em is good but him and Gambino sound nothing alike. They're both unique
***** the only thing similar is that they both can talk about some fucked up shit, em is a legend and cg is going to be imo.
If you watched Gambinos interviews he has compared himself to Em before, when on about how a lot of his raps aren't serious and how he likes comedy rap like Em and Lonely Island
What's with the random weirdos in the background....
BIG SO FROM HOLLAND 2 CHILDISH GAMBINO HE WAS A MASTER ON THOSE BEATS
I wanna smack everyone in that room except for Gambino
hes reading twitter comments
Killed it. Got damn.
THIS IS REAL HIP-HOP! NOTHING BUT BAAARS! RHYTHM AND POETRY... BEAUTIFUL TO SEE REAL HIP-HOP IS STILL AROUND. FUCK ALL THE FAKERS AND THE HATERS !
Just to clear it up. He's not reading lyrics he's freestyling off of tweets he's reading. Get your facts straight before you make a fool of yourself, and this freestyle was like 2 years ago, even before because of the internet was dropped. Just a little fyi.
Dat was FIRE that should be a rap song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Go check em out Immortal Technique he a beast
3:35 Haha amazing
love listening to gambino!
Yo those are the worst hype men ever.
I know it is radio but why is everyone watching their mobile or putting some lipgloss on and not looking like they are enjoying it.
hes got best freestyles
he dont kno how raps so gud off da dome
first beat?
Is this the guy from Community???
exactly what i was thinking
and hes pretty good
People and their phones. Gambino spitting bars while everyone checking their phones.
if he was actually confident alot of his bars would come off better, he always seems like he doubting the lines as he spitting them
He's a comedian and a writer before a rapper, he loves the punch lines more than the the flow
yeah i agree with that
if you watch an interview with him on fuse he literally says he isn't confident so you hit it spot on haha
hes new to rapping, hes gonna get bigger... for sure... just needs to find his voice/his style... a lot of it is all over, but he spits some pretty sweet bars.
JDcrespo01 yea i did see that one..kinda weird
Hes the black version of Eminem
and spiderman! ha
why?
He's way better than emimem
Keep telling yourself that buddy
ALMIGHTY TYREEZY
Are you kidding

+Tre 98th Shot caller by French Montana
+Chris Rogers thanks

ll cool j is on "the network"...he was rappin and acting a long time before donald...
Okay....
fringe "cause i'm the only rapper with his face on the network" donald said it, not me...did you even listen to his lyrics?
S.H Wilson Yeah hes the only actor thats actually a good rapper
booooooooo!!!! "doin it" is a classic!!!
Zach Wigboldy besides Will Smith
He picked that phone up and went all the way IN!
Ha! Stonecrest! That's my mall!
who the fuck stares at their phone, applies lipbalm or just looks at their lap when this shit's on wtf
My favorite freestyle
Plot twist he was on instagram

I love the second instrumental!
Who the fuck cares. It's good music that he created
hahaha i hate that people dont understand the concept of an actual freestyle vs off the dome
***** finally someone with some sense
Freestyle take no skill writing something good does freestyle is random ass shit.
charletmy heath They both take skill and both can be random as shit.
S-K-I yeah....
For all you saying this ain't freestyle. He's taking tweets from his fans and making them rhyme
Why is it that on all the west wood vids I see the random ass people in the background look bored af??
He's wacky
Haters gone hate
My favorite freestyle from him
Why does he look like Donald Glover?
Obvious troll is obvious.
Damn, that 12'second intro is annoying.
He's reading out his twitter feed, leave him alone ahaha I love him so much
dont know why they censored nigga but not God damnit at 1:36. gambino's fuckin lazy, regardless of whether the freestyle is rehearsed, ultimate fail for readin it off ur phone.
Lazy? Fail? I truly advise to go watch his fresstyle on Hot 97 and on Sway AFuckingSAP
You wanna see some lazy shit? Watch DRAKE on Westwood.
Lazy? Dude acts, makes beats and raps over those beats. Made millions from those talents...Lazy? Youre name is a contradiction of your life son.
***** Comin from the bitch w/ nothin else better to do but stays on my comment. Trollin wont get u far, get a day job.
Don't give this guy anymore attention. He lives to argue with people on the internet..
Im confused, why is he rapping off his phone? Gambino actually can freestyle, respect lost...
the day he did the freestyle he posted on twitter asking for words to go off of. the fans tweeted a line and he elaborated off of it, in a freestyle
Shane Theodore
that's why he laughed at the tweet at around 3:20
Ah thank you, respect restored. Let's hope what you say is true :)
freestyles can be off the top or pre-written it doesn't matter
No they can not! The whole meaning "free style" means it is free from style, so to write it is to give it structure and style! If it is pre-written its just a rap song, not a freestyle. Urban dictionary it bitch.
What! Gambino reaching close to a mill in views -- he's receiving the attention he really deserves.
they give no reaction! those backgrounders are weak son!
