Vid of the Day: Reality Check

Another one from Homeboy.  Forgot about this one during the move, but had to post it.  Timetravelling boombox on some Memento ish...too deep, don't sleep.  Some people will probably overlook this one cause of the somber mood but Sandman always comes with something new.  Most rappers want floss and smack asses in videos...those are cool too, but this is what's generally missing in hip hop these days.  http://stonesthrow.com/homeboysandman

Actual freestyle

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.
