Common Spits 8-Minute Freestyle Over Raekwon’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” & Group Home’s “Livin Proof”
Truly a transcendent genius in the culture of hip-hop freestyle, the incomparable Common made his return to the LIFTOFF show with Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk to cement another historical Power 106 L.A. Leakers moment.
Taking the latest Freestyle installment #119 to a new height, the veteran emcee flexes his off-the-top prowess over not one, but two instrumentals for a nearly eight-minute offering. The Chicago native spit complete precision over Group Home’s “Livin’ Proof,” which is a DJ Premier classic, and wrapped up the feature with additional bars on the RZA-produced “Incarcerated Scarfaces” from Raekwon.
During his freestyle, the freestyle King leaves no moment unturned with every bar dropped, spitting, “Some of my guys move keys like Robert Glasper / They gave me room so I could be a master / My book of life, I write it like a Christ chapter / When hip-hop was dead, I met it in the life after / Envisionin’ the hereafter, listening to Donnie Hatha / Tryna find a way to get my people out the trap or the prisons.”
Common later comes back for round two when he sets complete fire off when he flips up his flow to remind everyone why there’s no one touching his skill.
Kaepernick of this rap sh*t, you see I ain’t playing with these goofy a** rappers
I do movies, I know actors,
It’s all on your face, you ain’t never been proactive
This is pro-Black hood, wrapped in black woods
Yeah, we stack good and still show Black love like Barack and Michelle
I’m like an electric car, out of my shell, I plot and prevail
Pushing these bars like I got out of jail

Verses like these are what makes it so hard to see young cats praising some of those new school rappers with surface level punchlines. Not saying I don't like new rappers cuz there are some great new flows, just very few have that level of depth displayed here.
I just love every time DJ sour milk says wait wait wait wait wait… it's like he's still amazed that old Legends can spit White Hot Fire… that's a compliment sour milk
My Lord

guys, shut this down, the freestyles are becoming dangerous hot, at this rate, you will have a meltdown at your nuclear power plant
Best ever

Its all on your face you ain’t never been proactive…. Triple meaning…..Chicago State of Mind!
It dawned on me suddenly J Cole had become quite simply another Common. Common continues to come with freestyles serving as indeed flames.

‘Took time to myself like Naomi Osaka’ common kills it with his lyrics!
Rap music is an INCREDIBLE art form. The art of rapping is gift from Christ
The fact this has less than a million views let’s you know everything you need to know about the state of hip hop
He's no Tarik but he's close
