Hi friends! You may have already donated money to support #BlackLivesMatter and related charitable causes - if not, or if you're in a position to give more, I recommend We The Protester's Campaign Zero. They're an organisation dedicated to police reform through data-driven policy solutions, and you can learn more and donate here: www.joincampaignzero.org/#vision - I'll be donating the ad revenue from this video to them, so as always, thank you for watching my silly raps.
I love it bruh Ur so brilliant so smart so smooth damn...ur one of the most greatest freestyler I've ever seen
Thanks for supporting the cause. Your flow is so effortless, how many years did it take you to get on this level?
BLM isn't about defending black people Chris, it's about attacking white people like you. Anyone white person who gives them money should be ashamed of themselves.
@@themoog924 Yeah, you are much smarter than us Chris, we all support equality. But please look into this, it's not a good cause.
Also, I think you will be hard pressed finding someone actually supporting what happened to George. We should still be against rioting and looting.
This must be what if feels like to have 200 IQ.
What happens if you use 100% of your brain?
This is what it feels like to chew 5 gum
AceCustomz 😂
You are too kind, goodsir.
@@strbourne You mean you aren't using 100% of yours?
A freestyle rapping comedian, so it seems the youtube algorithm has figured out my weaknesses.
A dope guy aswell
I ain't sleeping on that name lol
yea its like that, bro haha
Never once cared that much for comedians or freestyle content on TH-cam, but somehow the TH-cam algorithm thought I needed it. I’m happy it did.
We're all victims here.
"It isn't homework when you're home and you jerk" - Chris Turner
I love that line.
I LOVE IT TOO
droppin life lessons in his bars with this one. my gpa woulda been soooo much better if i heard this years ago
😂
if u really loved it you'd listen propleh
@@scottgarber8046 lol
PS: pornography being a HARD problem was a brilliant pun 🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU. Also @jimmi that's old school Chris knowledge
Eh.
@@ChrisPJTurner Oh shit - you're that guy?
[runs and checks]
Holy Crap! You are that guy! I just saw your clip again on my Facebook feed. Awesome - so glad you are still going!
I'm thinking how to not get a paper cut while flipping the pages.... but then who reads magazines these days, with the free stuff on the internet, no one pays
Um can we just talk about the fact that the break in the beat at 9:38 is when Chris stops to ask for the topic and he resumes rapping at the same time the beat kicks back 👌
the DJ hold it for him ?
@@melonusk6120 it's either that or he got the timing perfect, idk honestly
the track started playing again there was no DJ holding it just someone queueing the song so the fact that he heard it replay and took that amount of time to ask about the topic what amazing
@@melonusk6120 haha don't think there's a live DJ in a comedy club
Why does it feel like this comment has a good flow for rapping😅
Racism and Sex... Sounds like a typical track...
Neither of which you know anything about I'm sure.
Trash
Quite the opposite literally.
@@SubjectiveFunny You shouldn’t reflect so much.
@@dominus6224 shouldn't stick ur beak in so much.
To just understand how hard it's to rap like him. Go look in to a mirror, select 5 topics and start saying stuff. 20 seconds later you will realize you're still stuck at the first sentence.
Chris does this for 4 minutes straight. WITH topics from complete strangers.
@d bc My best friend is just a torso and he has a chest full of suggestions.
Congratulations, Sir. You just explained what "freestyle rap" means. The extraordinary thing about Chris is that he is well educated and funny in comparison to other freestyle rappers.
Years ago they tried to...

😁😁😁
Not that hard. Takes practice and dedication. Any comedian that can improv jokes can improv rap. Its the same skill set. Been doing it 20+ years myself. Its much harder if he threw a beat on, which he did. Abc rhymes , barely to any multi syllables.
Check out Harry Mack. He does it for hours.
I'm a narcotics education teacher and I'd like you to rap about the safe use of crack.
Lmaooooo bruh you got me good in the first half😂
Before her suggestion, I hadn't even thought about contemporary sex ed focusing on porn, but it makes so much sense. My all boy's school sex ed was just 'here's how you put a condom on a banana, but don't worry, no ones going to have sex with you because you're all NERDS'
@skOsH bro never do it
an older and wiser friend of mine described to me the experience, which sounded wild, and then said exactly what you said - only do it once, because it's never as good again. (I have no intention to, I should add)
@@GMak81 i mean you can make jokes if youre good enough but if anything these jokes here are mediocre
Eminems been real quiet since this guy rolled along...
Lol eminem would put this guy in a body bag if they battled.
@@aaroncookerly5766 idk man. I think he would have Eminem on the back foot in total uninspired ego stroking territory. Like the guy with nothing left so he starts rapping about guns lol
@@dialup5583 I really hope you're kidding.
It’s so obvious that they are the same person
The adventutes of moon man and slim?
that flow you got in the 2nd part was crazy.
Thanks Erik! I was pretty pleased with that bit
@@ChrisPJTurner I was about to post the same. Out of all the vids I 've seen on your channel, that changing the tire part must have been one of your best flows! Makes more than up for Kanye West part where I had the feeling your were 'searching' a bit if you feel what I mean :-P
yeah, I'm not a fan of the kanye part either, i think it's because I was preoccupied with trying to remember what the next suggestion was, rather than just going with the flow
@@ChrisPJTurner Seriously, the whole thing is genius...there's nothing not to be a fan of!
Chris: “Changing a tire, or changing attire?”
Me: “Bud, this is America, no one refers to clothes as “attire” here”
What do they call them? Cool duds?
Chris Turner “spiffy threads” if I’m not mistaken😄
@@JoshuaaMS apparently gymnastoman1 does
@@gymnastoman1 I've never heard "spiffy threads" in my life until now. More like "garments" or just "clothes."
@@ChrisPJTurner lol American slang for clothes right now is "drip" for example "oh Jeremy has drip today"
"If we can drop the beat good sir" is one of the best quotes I've heard
Love how you worked "changing attire" in but forgot the "changing a tire" suggestion
Must not have caught the end of the video. He did get to it, right before the sex ed teacher.
I think my brain was like, 'well I've said all the things they suggested, so that's me done'. Also, glad you caught the changing attire pun.
@Memesupreme 10:15
Even raps his replies - amazing!
I had not noticed that, good spot!
Have you considered America's Got Talent? That would be hilarious if you were on it.
they've asked me for the last two seasons. not my cup of tea
nice like your style
@@ChrisPJTurner you should try it atleast one bigger
@@ChrisPJTurner you missing out on a nice cup
@@ChrisPJTurner i agree, you'd get recognition but lose style points for a lot of fans. btw you blow my mind every video; general knowledge is unmatched
“If you could drop the beat good sir” is probably my favourite thing
"Hello good sir! May I ask you 'Drop the beat' as the young fellows these days say? Many thanks in advance my good sir."
Me looking for a vid before I eat: .....
Chris turner: uploads a vid
Me: I love the timing
The algorithm works in mysterious ways
Watching and eating during this video. Cummy!
I too like 10-15 min videos that you can watch while enjoying lunch
Imagine a wheelchair guy cutting past his line and he just starts to rap at him
I’d do what ur profile pic is doing lmao
@@annabortion3702 becoming a meme lord?
This guy seems to be fairly big in the states doing the circuits. He should come back home, he could be a massive star on the comedy gameshow circuit, especially shows like QI. He is highly intelligent, skillful and funny, it is strange how he is not that well known in the UK.
Kanye: "I'm a genius"
This guy: "Hold my beer"
By the time you probably formed a few ideas on what to say Ive already forgotten the first suggestion ^^'
lots of practice and at some point it will be more or less automatic. He's said it himself, the more you actively think about what you're about to say, the less likely youll succeed.
🤪 All I'm thinking about when I get the suggestions is trying to remember them, the rap doesn't come until the beat drops - @Guillermo is right about not actively thinking.
@@ChrisPJTurner if its mandatory not not actively think I should be the greatest rapper of all thyme :D
Bro he really flexin on us now. he said not only does he remember but he doesn't even think about it. he just goes off lol.
Hmmmm I forgot
As a non-native speaker I probably don't get even a third of the whit in those raps but I sure enough enjoy them massively. As well as the collection of suggestions, which are super hilarious too: even though I don't know any of the people in the room it often feels like I'm part of the show for a moment. Brilliant job and big thanks for uploading!
Thanks! That's lovely to hear. If you don't already, make sure you use the subtitles on each video - I know they don't explain the references but I hope they prove useful for deciphering my occasionally opaque british accent.
As a non-native speaker? Sure could'a fooled me. Brilliant use of language, bravo.
I'm a non-native speaker as well and I really enjoy those, everytime I learn new (British) English vocabulary like "attire" or "morgue". You won't hear some of these too often in a usual conversation :D
Oh Chris, why did you keep this one from us for so long...!
He’s taking advantage of the George Floyd situation, while seemingly suggesting that Republicans are immoral. I love irony!
Good question! I rarely post the ones from this room of the club, as the sound is bad, the picture isn't great, and it takes a lot more work to edit to make it listenable. As the lockdown has meant I'm not able to do shows for the foreseeable future, I've been looking back through my archive of recordings, and this one seemed to be 🔥 enough to bypass the sound concerns. @Jay is a tad off the mark - I had this video lined up to post regardless of the protests, and wondered whether I should post it or not. In the end, I decided it was a relevant way to use my platform to raise some money and encourage donations to a very worthy cause.
"To talk about the ladies would not be fair in your eyes " *GODDAMN*
Gem
Chris, this is sick, and genius; the smoothness of your riff and your voice have a flow on this rap that I don't think I've ever heard you achieve before; such a creative element, mixed with the best of self-deprecating British humour, satire, historical accuracy and respectful comedy-handling of a truly loaded suggestion. I didn't think you could get any better, but you continue to prove me wrong, and I'm so happy for that; what a credit to the comedy circuit you are sir. I was gutted to miss out seeing you live in Copenhagen, after the concerts had to be cancelled, but seeing this somehow secures me in the knowledge that when I do get to witness this truly amazing talent that you have sculpted, and continue to refine, the wait will be more than worthwhile, and you will be better and more erudite than ever. Thank you so much for enriching the scene, and crafting a niche for yourself which is truly unique, and always a positive joy to behold. Much love and respect from an ex-pat English teacher living in southern Sweden.
Thanks Rich, this is such a nice, thoughtful comment! I really appreciate it. RE Copenhagen - I've not been told they've been cancelled, and last time I spoke to the promoters they still expected them to go ahead with modifications! If they don't happen this Sept, I would expect them to be rearranged, and I'll be there!
@@ChrisPJTurner I just found you tonight.... at 9 pm... its now midnight
and the time flew. I'll be back at it tomorrow til I see them all. sharing with
everyone I know. this rap was a minefield and you danced right across it.
I am officially impressed. uncanny. never saw anything like it. Please keep
going.
Damn when i see this guy i feel like im using only 0,001 percent of my brain.
Definitely if that's how you use decimal points
@@rumblinstillkid2023 In my country it's correct
Chris, your calm state of emotions during your free style rap is worth appreciation, once majority of free style rappers show signs of nervousness.
Great job comrade!✌
Thanks Pablo! Gotta stay calm to keep that flow state :)
Nice to see the first use of that beat.
Holy cow, I cracked up over that turn on the wheelchair part. You did good to make it worse. I feel bad for laughing though. xD
Thanks Nicki! I think I was at a point where I had to push it so far into absurdity to show it was tongue in cheek
@@ChrisPJTurner Definitely, I think it was the best you could do. Well done!
I think this is one of your best!! And that beat works really well with your style of rap
Thanks Ashley! Glad you think so :)
😂😂😂 that wheelchair comment though (i’m in a chair and hell yeah if we cut in don’t let us 😂)
His rapping skill is insanely cool, and his jokes are funny as hell. He can probably start his own show and music label all at the same time. Amazing human being! Thank you for bringing laughter into my life.
What I love most about this is first how he’s bringing rap to people of all stripes to enjoy who may have a negative opinion of rap culture without really knowing anything about it. Second I think it highlights to people who say “it’s not music because they don’t even play instruments” that there is a ton of skill involved for those who do it well and at the end of the day it’s all art. Great job Chris, so many kids have your dream and you are showing them it’s possible in a totally unique way.
Thanks Chris for the tuneup!! Keep safe mate!!
Thanks! you too
I’m just thinking, "you never see this anywhere else" except after you post it to TH-cam lol.
Greatest ending line ever. “It would not be fair IN you’re eyes. This as the best for me. Loved it.
Can we just talk about the fact that Chris takes the time out of his day to respond to so many comments in a way I don't know of any TH-camr of even 1/10th the size does. You make great videos, and your community engagement is amazing.
Awesome show again! I was so hyped when saw youre coming to Helsinki (Finland) but then Corona and so.. Hope Ill see you live some day
He goes live on Saturday 1pm PST
Still waiting on final confirmation on those shows! They'll be rearranged if they can't happen this sept :)
Wowwww, the flow on the "changing a tire" section was sick! Some of the fastest lines I've heard from you yet! You just keep getting better, good sir
Never disappoints bro 🤣😂💥 both the comedic start up and the raps are always clean haha keep it up, much love from Mexico
Cheers man :)
@@ChrisPJTurner cheers brotha
"If we could drop the beat, good sir" 5:42 honestly expected more of this XD
the wheelchair part made me spit out my coffee... the coffee was really hot but the rap was straight fire. fucking dying laughing here.
This guy must always have the right thing to say in every situation
“It’s not homework when you’re home and you jerk” Bars
The look at you back of the queue line had me dying. I actually busted out laughing slapping the table 😂😂
We wanna see Chris Turner vs Harry Mack
Epic mate!!! Can't wait to see one of your shows!
Cheers Kevin (mmmmmm kevin)
Amazing work!! I’ve been laughing my ass off all day enjoying your talent. You’ve gained another sub, so please keep bringing the excellence!
Chris Turner VS Harry Mack Rap Battle. Must make it happen
THIS GUY IS A LEGEND. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE HIS ABILITY. CRAAAZZY
Man the audio quality on this one is a tragedy but I'm so glad you posted it, easily one of your best! Straight fire from first bar to last 🔥
Get a decent set of headphones tgen: the audio quality was pretty good from my cans
The sound quality from this room of the club is always dodgy, I spend a bunch of time editing to make it acceptable and it's still pretty awful - there's a ground hum that just persists, and it's hard to cut out without ruining my vocals. It's the reason I rarely post vids from this room, they have to be real fire for me to bother, so I'm glad you thought that!
Absolutely awesome. One of your best yet!
Glad you think so!
I never use this phrase as an American, but "you are simply brilliant mate."
Super nailed this one. Blasting the wheel chair kid was perfect comedy
This was impressive.
The wheelchair part was freaking hilarious lol
if you think you can do this, you cant. it takes skill, guts and confidents. respect to you my fellow brit. your stage presence and control is something only time and errors can create
i got an RTJ music video as an ad before this video. 2 great raps for the price of one. Also, those Kanye references were spot on.
Not even one video went with a lack of a like.
Your rap keeps a day with a positive vibe.
Your knowledge of history and overall topics is insane,
I should watch another video because it really entertains! 🤙🍻👍
once more absolutely insane work, man. you mastered that stuff for real. keep on rocking, chris! greets from germany
Thanks a lot!
Hats off for this guy ,some of the rappers cannot even write lines that you spit freely
I had to pause the video to come here. I APPLAUD his admittance of not knowing enough about racism to rap about it - in his own rap. Super awesome! So talented!
I was lucky enough to catch Chris at a local comedy night in Wilmslow in 2010 (maybe 2011) and knew straight away that he was going to be massive. His rap was sensational and his puns just as good. Personal favourite - the one about XXX Roman plays. Turned out it was just 30 Roman plays.
Sir, you should be in Hamilton 😭✋🏼
the one about people cutting in line left me in tears 😂
Love the raps as usual. You're quite amazing at it and have watched many videos. One thing to mention about the racism bit, a lot of people seem to have this ignorance that America is somehow racist when it's literally the least racist country in the world. America was the one to abolish slavery in America and there is literally still slavery in Africa of blacks owning blacks, but the media loves to keep "racism" on life support by talking about things or making things up that actually aren't even an issue. Just remember, there are always those who are in power that want us divided and arguing amongst ourselves.
And there it is. The FIRST time I have ever seen you forget a topic. Damn...what a streak from these youtube vids! Great content, love it all
😝 it usually only happens when I've had a beer (what a surprise!) - I also go through streaks where I'm more forgetful, it's odd. Glad you enjoy my work!
Have a go fund me to go against Eminem?
🤪 hello i am raising money to get trashed on an international stage
Facts 😆😆
He’s good but c’mon, he’s no Eminem
His knees aren’t weak..
Him: "this is an on the spot performance, no one will ever see this again"
Me: *months later on youtube* 👁️👄👁️
No "uh, yeah, um, yeh yeah yeah, um uh" whatsoever, straight in and no irrelevant words for rhyming purposes. Would love to see him in a battle.
the fucking wait your turn!! got me hahaa.
Attire changing joke went right on over their heads
Chris, you're a genius. Not many people can do what you do.
The part with the wheelchair was actually raw as fuck.
Real visual.
This was the second video I saw after "One liner comedian" in 2013. Gaddemn brother, that's some mad skill.
My spontaneous reaction is to say that this is my favourite - but at the same time I realize that almost every one is my favourite ;D
🤪
Chris!!!! Be careful, because you are on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
STAY AWAY FROM THE CURTAINS
Chris, I thank the TH-cam Gods for discovering you. Love your art. You are another kind of artist. I love your genuine kindness und pay tribute to you unbelievable width of knowledge. I am a German and dig german HipHop. I rarely seen anyone pulling this speed and precise use of language. Keep up your fantastic work.
You killed it. I am more and more impressed every single video that comes out.
just as a weird turn of events, i was raised in a funeral home as well lol
He said "😎"
😎😎😎
How is it that every video I see from this guy is better than the last one? Genius. He’s a f**king genius.
Well done my friend!👏 That is definitely not an easy task to do randomly off the top with humor added👌👍👍👍👍
Appreciate that! I'm very fortunate to have found a career where I get to do it!
What overtly lib city was this filmed in 😂
That was so good! Solid shit
Cheers :D
i hope so...
OMG! That was soooo good!
You are the first youtuber i check each day for new uploads..
Thanks! That means a lot :)
You got some dope flows and prose with ya lyrical goals, when ever I tune in I enjoy your shows, I'm not in a wheelchair, just so ya know, but I'm a vet so its not too far from home.
Hi I would really love to see subtitles in these freestyles
Do you understand how hard this is to do! This talent is equivalent to making it in sports on a professional level. Not many can do it.
I always wondered how you wopuld manage a situation in which you forget a suggestion, man that was really great!!!
Hahahaaa I really enjoyed this one. Great job on hitting those topics the right way, and killing that beat. I'll be sharing this one :) Cheers
Glad you liked it! Thanks, appreciate the share!
The day I re-realized hip hop is not just mainly about rhyming and punchlines. it’s about growing up poor, oppressed, and turning to nothing to but the open arms of the culture, real talk
the 'attire' line at the start deserved more
I FIRMLY AGREE
That joke about black history month getting an extra day was amazing XD. I think they didn't get it.
LMFAO holy crap I'm in a wheelchair and I was crying that was so funny
Im going between heaven and hell after the wheelchair part
Limbo? Bit cruel to bring that up, all things considered.
@@ChrisPJTurner HAHAHAHAHAHA
Me sitting here like wish she was my teacher
Iam addicted
My man Chris, that comes fast to me... i dont know what to say, just DAMN GOOD !!
This video started my day with a good laugh! Thanks Chris!
Ive said this numerous times.... chris is a genius
And you were correct every time. Go you!
Thank you! Shall print this comment out and send it to my mum.
Amazing, and the last pun . . . good old days, ay Chris :D Cheers mate . . . and you can't spell Donald without the D, cause he is one :D Cheers
hehe i love my puns
Long way since Glee one liner, :D. Much love Chris
