full chills and goosebumps literally right before scru said he got them. that last verse was probably the most motivating verse I've heard in a freestyle ever
Token grew up in the local scene here in New England, RI/MA - and was always in the live cyphers. I think thats why his punches hit the way they do, battle bar style. Those Grind Mode Cyphers, TBP era style - miss those days.
@@sc2thrashmetal You are one of these people that think prewritten text on random beats is a freestyle? So this, and what H Mack is doing is the same thing? You clearly call it the same name
@@wooshbait36 yeah buddy if you can't figure out the difference between this and what harry mack does just because its called the same thing I can't help you. Literally NO ONE else is confused by this.
That Tony stark bar was actually hard. I’m Tony Stark so everything I earn (iron), I troll a lot they wonder why I’m respected still (steel). Token is a talented artist, who puts in a lot work on his pen game. To make him a top tier lyricist his delivery just needs a little refining. I believe if he enunciated his punches better, and let his rhymes breathe by pausing more, his bars would land better. Especially, when he alters the timing between rhyming words ( like beginning on a 1 with the rhyme landing on a 3). His usage of unconventional patterns, sometimes throws off his syncopation making his flow seem a bit chaotic at times. I respect his skill, work ethic, content and originality, his delivery just needs a bit of polish. IMO.
That's the whole reason that he didn't sign with his childhood favorite label, they didn't like his sound and wanted to edit him. There are so many rappers with the same formulaic flows, cadences, and deliveries, that he wanted to hit a different niche. A lot of people compare him to Eminem, but Lil Dicky is a better comparison. Both are hitting a niche target in a large demographic that's the right combination of unique and talented. A lot of people, but not all, are realizing that his sound scratches an itch that they didn't realize they had. His music just might not be for you, unfortunately, but that's the beauty of music, that there's something for everyone.
You know Scru was trolling Tok with that Tony bar.. 😉 I compare Toke 2 nobody,man is in his own lane for real! His flows, cadence, his ryhme schemes, word play it is so unique and put of this world.. A boy with mental issues and dyslexia ... amazing were he stands in life ❤️
MAN I GET GOOSEBUMPS TO THAT BLUEPRINT/ECSTACY OF GOLD OR WHATEVER THAT BEAT AND THE WAY HE SNAPPED ON THAT SHIT IS LEGENDARY. ALL CAPS CUZ THAT WAS CRAZY!!💯🔥
I think that Token has always addressed his own self-judgement in his music. Go back as far as Doozy. He "wants someone to diss" because he's uncomfortable with the fact that the naysayer in question is himself. I feel like he's been at war with himself a little bit, and has been working it out with his music, so every time he calls out "the haters," he's really addressing one of his own personal doubts and becoming stronger by rebutting it.
Love you Scru for this, remember your 2 reactions in the basement on Token his Sway freestyle on 50 cent. The 15 min long! And than that evening (fridaynight live) 1 hour and a halve, where you explained that whole freestyle (bars, ryhmes, flows, cadence everything) since than i am in love with ya Scru!!😁😊😉 Best reaction channel in the world! 😘 Grtz from Amsterdam
i’ve been watching scru since the wack ceiling tiles and the dax diss’s days but he has stayed one of the most in tune and open minded “reaction” channel. and i use quotation marks because calling his videos reaction is kind of a dis service. i’m not a fan of many youtube’s but i love your progression. and ya token is dope, he’s chasing JID as the youngest and hottest
Lol. Not even joking or pandering... at the least top 8. I thought that through before commenting. I've heard many artists on there get off 100 percent, but I'm looking at not just bars, but delivery, flow switches(and not only the ones with each beat drop as scru pointed out, but multiple switches within each beat) and raw emotion... haven't seen many better. I do understand he also has the benefit of the length, and the multiple beats, but I stand by my initial comment. But that's my opinion, and as they say, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. (and most of them stink!)
@@malamark04 he isnt in my top ten out of artist in the game now. Top five freestyles on sway. Just so there isnt any confusion with my original comment. But even if I meant top 5 artist, everyone is gonna have their opinions on who is the best. To say he isnt top 5 because he has had no hits, or impact. With that reasoning 69 is the goat then... smh. Reminds me of when someone says em ain't the goat cause cats dont be listening to him in the streets. Fools bump 69 all the time in the street, does that make him the goat. Again top 5-10 list are subjective, but I've been a hip hop head for most my life, and some of the best artist are the ones without a hit. And I'd argue that he has had a huge impact. Cause he is one of the first launch his career off of youtube. He is 24 now, he has been on youtube continuously since he was 16... just cause he didnt impact what you fuck with dont mean he hasn't had an impact. And you dont have to take my word, listen to the first couple of minutes of the original video. Sway gives him all his flowers. I'm sure you have valid points to why you think he is garbage, but at the end of the day, that's your opinion and you are entitled to that. Good day sir...
Calling token out on that Tony Stark is the right way to censor someone. He said something absolutely heinous and you let him redeem himself. Better watch himself in the future though...lmaooooooo
18:43 "im climbin outta this shit and im turnin out to be better"... man holy shit... there's just something DIFFERENT about rising above! the way the mic falls off and he's adjusting while stating it, idk... just a vibe dayum i got emotional because i want to feel that feeling i guess
@@wooshbait36 Very few rappers can go completely off the top. Knowing token, he probably prepared some of the verses in his head before going on the show. You can notice after he talks about his father, it comes from his heart. 99% of freestyles you hear arent 'off the top'
15:44 definitely going at MGK, he genre hopped from rapping to Pop/Rock after getting destroyed by Em, Token said he looks like him and maybe his white punk-style look is like MGK, also "My og rappers holla at me But do devil's work" referring to the track "Rap Devil" by MGK and his supposed devil worship, then cemented it by saying "when he was dating Ariana Grande I was at her crib" and MGK dated Ariana Grande. he even referred to MGK earlier at 9:13 "All press is good press but now you're shoulders getting pressed" referring to MGK public battle with eminem which got him a ton of press but eminem destroyed him
That was class🙌🏼 Again.. please do NSG Daily Duppy, though. You will love them!!Afroswing, with Nigerian & Ghanaian heritage.. They’re Og’s, every tune’s a banger and classic over here!💙🏴
This dude ain't a battle rapper and this def ain't a freestyle but he's doing his thing regardless, I just wanna see this dude unlock his full potential
triple. "I Urn". the deeper bar is even with all the money and such that comes with the image he is still just a man who hurts just the same, and it can all go away in a snap. scru appreciated the bar but also was making a joke lol RIP Tony
@@deathsaidhello Could be talking about the dad bar too about how his dad had a heart attack but survived the first time and he wrote about how he could have died and he "manifested it" so he Urned his dad
Scru, you have to see "Hi, Ren" by Ren, and if you still have Tech's contact, please send the video his way as well. I really hope you see this comment.
That bar at the 16:02 mark “we look alike but he is not my crop, he don’t respect the genre so the genre don’t respect him so he genre-hop” I SWEAR that makes me think of MGK genre hopping 😂😂
Hey Scr, U NEED TO check out new ed sheeran song called F64 about jamal Edwards who passed away last year. Bit of info needed, he passed due to drugs, was a huge chelsea fan. He was the CEO of sbtv and it helped alot of British rap, grime come up and gave Ed the attention.

My dawg
Token your freestyle's and Scru his reactions 2 it!
I am so in love with the combo💚
Goddame Tok ...
Love from Amsterdam
Why is there only one reply lol?
"Daddy wanted to be a singer that was his aim, I see the bigger picture I'm carrying him on stage" Damn that hit in the feels.
full chills and goosebumps literally right before scru said he got them. that last verse was probably the most motivating verse I've heard in a freestyle ever
Notice how he goes into complete beast mode after mentioning his deceased father...🔥🔥🔥
All ppl are one. I get a kick outta all cultures.
This will be refreshing after watching Dontai's chat hate this video🤣
All the mouths in that video chat are cultured
@@6burghchamps591 that's how cultured people express their opinions?🤣
Probably the worst chat on twitch ngl. Literally full of racists and bandwagoners lol.

I have to question reality when i listen to token. Gifted mind without a doubt.
Token is one of those lyricists who people compare to Em for his ability to rap fast, but he's evolved so much beyond that surface level ability
He got R.A.P.!!! 🤣🤣🤣 That line got me. I don’t know how Token is still underrated…he is 🔥🔥🔥 💯% of the time.

Honestly, for someone with this level of talent I would imagine every critique you've made is exactly what he wants in the song.
Great points though!

He got RAP rage and poetry!
Bro he fucking SNAPPED on this! His metaphors, double entendres, and straight confidence. #MurderRaps
His doubles are 🔥. One of the best reactions to this video I've seen.
I NEEDED THIS REACTION BRUHHH SHOUTOUT SCRUUU FOR REACTING TO THE CULTURE
As soon as i watched this on Sway… i immediately had to come over to your channel and see your reaction!
Same! Token his freestyle's and Scru his reactions 2 it are gold 💛
Token is Jewish and his name is Benjamin. Makes that “she only knows me for my Benjamin’s” bar filthy!!!!! Token is unreal.
Token is in fact Jewish. He’s mentioned it many time in his tracks. That’s why the Hanukkah bar made sense
i’ve been watching scru since the wack ceiling tiles and the dax diss’s days but he has stayed one of the most in tune and open minded “reaction” channel. and i use quotation marks because calling his videos reaction is kind of a dis service. i’m not a fan of many youtube’s but i love your progression. and ya token is dope, he’s chasing JID as the youngest and hottest

Been waiting on this reaction bruhhh token dumb for this 😭🔥
the dude isnt rapn,rap is him.
ive watched alot off these reaction vids an NOBODY had deep dived as good as SCRU FACE.real good stuf.
Dude where is the Harry Mack and Beardyman and Leen reaction? The environment is lit
The background track on the part you said could be a song is Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone if you were curious.
Loved the reaction scru. Token is built different. One of the best Freestyles I've seen and heard in a minute. 🔥🔥😱
True
Wait, people really belive this was a freestyle? Lmao

lol ok Justin 😂
“That was….that was oddly dark” lol bro I couldn’t stop laughing bout this
nobody talking about Token rapping over J. Cole's Album of the Year - Freestyle beat and using his flow is crazy

“Pack 6 figures in the bank, haven’t seen a milli in one place but made 401k before a 401k” underrated bar!
Bro, I cried at the last part after he mentioned his father. God DAMN!
You got mad at the Tony Stark line but he said
"I'm Tony Stark bitch everything I earn."

I really cant wait for your reaction to Central Cee - Khabib, cant wait how hype your reaction will be HAHAHAHA
Name of the first beat/song? I've been looking for it for 25 years since I saw the video on MTV way back! I'm so happy right now!!! 😄
Yess big boy!!
It’s that 8 mile final scene style rap
man is rapping like his life depends on the feeling he gets from it. looks intoxicating. i need something like that in my life.
yooooo im going to see him in concert on the 4th of feb in orlando im so fucking excited
Just a thought.
Token mentioned "Devil's Work, Look Alive, Evolution, Will" in his entire verses.
Joyner from Boston too.
You were thinking of "The Life" by Shyne. Great tune!
"I'm Tony Stark, bitch, everything I earn (everything iron)"
7:20 I'm dying. "That's oddly dark"
"if that didn't stop me, then wtf will?" dude.... yes
i was waiting for you to do this and the j.cole one, big upto you scru
On the Missy beat he worked the elephant into an adlib and that’s always been wild to me
7:08 - Yeah, you on it. This isn't just a battle rap, Token went to war on 10 bars. Everything hanging in the ledger was settled here.
Scru, you have to see "Hi, Ren" by Ren, and if you still have Tech's contact, please send the video his way as well. I really hope you see this comment.
7:16 it's not funny but I'm dying laughing how Scru reacted 😆
youre not alone, g LOL
@@deathsaidhello thank God 🫠😂
Always love your reactions! But Scru, you gotta react to Sister by token!! Won’t disappoint 🤘🏾💯
The way he emphasized the words Devils Work it made me think he taking shots at Joyner
Makes sense since he's from Massachusetts, I noticed that too and was looking into the comments to see if anyone has thought the same
Prolly shots at MGK, “don’t respect the genre so the genre don’t respect him so he genre hopped”
I c all the other reactors and whatnot but no one (mayB Dontai) gets me hype as Scru bruv.
You’re the best the vibes the energy u bring let’s get it.
New AK. Called Classic 💯💯🔥🔥💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
That bar at the 16:02 mark “we look alike but he is not my crop, he don’t respect the genre so the genre don’t respect him so he genre-hop” I SWEAR that makes me think of MGK genre hopping 😂😂
14:24 “my pops had a heart attack, (he wasn’t dead from it)/(was in deferment)” is crazy and no one catches it
Love the video!! You gotta check out that new harry Mack tho as i was watching it i was just thinking about how you would react 😂😂
It’s enjoyable to see a reaction that actually appreciates the bars. I skate to Dream Chaser all day. Subbed. Good look old boy.
Nobody cares…because it’s garbage. Have fun on the board tho
well LEC is back again with another banger.
When we link up its whateva 🤪

Hey Scr, U NEED TO check out new ed sheeran song called F64 about jamal Edwards who passed away last year. Bit of info needed, he passed due to drugs, was a huge chelsea fan. He was the CEO of sbtv and it helped alot of British rap, grime come up and gave Ed the attention.
@ Scruface Jean
That last beat off of Token's freestyle on Sway is "The Blueprint ll: The Gift and the Curse" by Jay-Z.
This is easily top 3 be spazzed like shit!!! 🔥🔥🔥
He's got r.a.p. rapid. Artistic. Perfection!!!
6:55 my rebuttal game craaa-zy!
Where's that Harry Mack × Leen reaction!!!! Haha legggooo
I believe the Kendrick and Cole bar is referring to Logic (he clowns him in the Tech N9ne tour bus colab too) and the genre hop bar refers to MGK. I’ve heard Logic described as Kendrick light and MGK is the only one I can think of that was slapped out of hip hop by Em.
Still 2:19 loading wait for it… when
He caught
Tht 🔥🤣😂.
Really good take on this guy. If you're close to it, hip hop shows r the best
I choked on my drink at "is token jewish"
The tony stark bar was a compliment to iron man. “I-ERN” Iron. They both earned what they got
need to do the new ed sheeran tribute to jamal edwards it’s f64 on sbtv
"I'm Tony Stark, but everything Iron..."
I think you should react to Cory Gunz’s freestyle on Funk Flex. It was amazing!
Forreeeeeeal 🔥🔥
React to sidemen tinder with chunkz harry and filly that one is too jokes😂
😤this made me do mean😤 face went hard.
That Boston Tea Party bar was dummy 🔥
