When people mention radio freestyles, 9 out of 10 are just an MC spitting pre-writtens over whatever beat the DJ throws on. Back when Stretch and Bob had their show, this would have been almost unheard of, but it's pretty much standard now (Tony's usually the only one actually freestyling on Toca Tuesdays). Even the most respected MCs don't come unprepared to a cypher or interview, but every once in a while, people still spit off the top. There may be a few memorized couplets in there, but for the most part this is one style that actually sounds free...props to the Homeboy.
