(Nisho)
Alright Doc
Let's see
For this one, I kinda wanted to do a freestyle
So if you don't mind me making up something on the spot
Like, I wrote it in the book what I wanna say
This is all off the top, the names I've written in the book
Let's see...
(Hook)
What would I say to all the greats if I really had a chance to make my case
Into they face, what would I say....?
Let's see?
(Freestyle)
I'd tell Lupe I've been down since The Jedi
Since Food and Liquor, knew that he was a good guy
With wordplay he's putting down, it was intimidating
Never really say it to his face, unh
I've been down since Switch
Found out about the gangster ish and that was it
Had a big influence on how I'm doing today
Even blame him for the therapy
Blu & Exile, been down since Below the Heavens
Even heard Give Me My Flowers While I Can Smell 'Em
Honestly, their freestyle is crazy
The imagery that Blu could put together is not lazy
There's Kendrick Lamar
Spit bars unpredictable, and spittin' it hard
Yo, I ain't dickriding, I'm saying he's been k**ing it
With him and Ab-Soul still getting it, ridiculous
Childish Gambino
Producer and a comedian, artist when he sees those
Beats that he makes on his own, they're dope
Wishing I can do it on my own
And I do, under the name NishoSoul
Speaking of Soul, Brand Nubian on their own
Grand Puba, Lord Jamar and the rest with Sadat
X, yes, Common Sense every time we rock
That's what I grew up on
Brand Nubian and Common, no sense when I'm on
Matter of fact, speaking of Common, he's good with Kanye
The songs they did together were crazy, influenced my play
With these words, every time I did it
Common was the conscious and Kanye's the ego-tistic
And I tried to make it rhyme
Really couldn't do it time, who else is next?
I got Nujabes and Flying Lotus
Both are producers with pretty different motives
Rest in peace to Seba Jun, know he died a few years ago
And Flying Lotus just ridiculous though
With the way he makes beats, pretty crazy
Never lazy, kinda crazy
Ryan Tedder, ill songwriter
Gorillaz with Demon Dayz, even going back to Laika
Come Home, I stayed bumping that
King Geedorah take me to that Three dragon rap
Meant to say Three Headed Dragon rap
Didn't mean to be so lazy with that
Doom's wordplay is out of this world
Speaking of out of this world
Watanabe had the Champloo unfurl in with mixing
Putting hip hop into the anime
And that's how it influences me up in today
Asher Roth, nothing but bars on the brain
So insane, I don't think he can refrain
Justin Bua, Calvin Coleman are two black artists
That really had me starving and never going off it...
What would I say to all the greats if I really had a chance to make my case
What would I say....?
Well, I mean I said it
WHOO
