DJ Premier Presents “Bars in the Booth” |Session 8|feat. Ras Kass (Video)
March 31, 2015
West Coast lyrical king Ras Kass administers the verbal ass kicking over a DJ Premier track. This is what the game is missing from these so-called rappers. BARS!!!!!! Did we catch a slight jab at a certain Atlanta rapper in this one or was it just all in fun? You be the judge! Either way Ras Kass murders his freestyle with Preemo!

December 3, 2014
F#ck all this talking. N!gga pay up or lay up! – Bumpy Knuckles
Maaaan. WHAT! Bump Knucks knocking knots upside the heads of all fakes. Sorry if your favorite emcee can’t bless Preemo’s beat and booth like this… only the strongest spitters get to do that. No smooth flows from a dude calling himself Bumpy. Nothing but the rough, rugged and RAW!

May 7, 2014
“Dope rhymes don’t come easy. It’s a skill.†– DJ Premier
Philly! Beard Gang! ‘The General’ Jakk Frost in the booth with a cold shoulder for haters. Premo on the boards piping the beat into the m-i-c. There’s likely a sign on the studio door that reads: SERIOUS SPITTERS ONLY! That’s what this Session 3 is. That’s what all ‘Bars in the Booth’ sessions are.

“I love a hater. I hug ’em now and hurt ’em later!” – Dres
Yes! Primo has another ‘Bars in the Booth’ session out. This time Dres (D-R-E-S) got in the booth, got comfortable…destroyed it. This is Hip-Hop: A DJ and an emcee moving the crowd (this includes you) and melting mics. We got the video above. The proof and the truth.
“Thanks to Dres from Black Sheep for being the next up on ‘Bars in the Booth.’ He killed it. We got more ‘Bars in the Booth’ coming soon, so subscribe to the channel so you do not miss a thing. Press Play!!â€

Have You Seen ‘The Booth’ Freestyles At The 2018 BET Hip-Hop Awards? (Video)
October 18, 2018
Well, well. I think I am ready to say it… Even with Preemo and Bella Badu on the 1’s and 2’s, I liked the overall energy of ‘The Booth’ over the Cyphers this year. Not saying there were not some hella fire freestyles in the Cyphers, but this looked fun!
Got bars? T.I., Shiggy, Safaree, Nick Grant, Christian Combs and more proved they did in The Booth at the Hip-Hop Awards. Hosted by Big Tigger.

Dax – “Tim Westwood Freestyle†(Video)
February 5, 2020
Pikachu with the bars. It’s like lightning when I speak.
Listen. Look, man. If you know about us… then you know about <strong>Dax (study up here if you don’t and don’t wanna put yourself out there like that).
So we don’t need Tim Westwood to tell us that Dax goes hard in the booth. But I’m sure Dax apprecates hearing it from someone else from time to time.

Ras Kass – “Bardom” feat. KRS-ONE
September 26, 2016
Ras Kass and KRS-ONE. They got one with this one. Hip-Hop heads, lean forward and prepare to nod. Even the title though… you certainly don’t think boredom with either of these emcees. You think BARS! Rhymes at the highest level… setting the bar for rap time and again. On the block. In the booth. Moving the Hip-Hop nation. Bar domination. All that – “Bardom!” Damn a Grammy! Heralding the release of Ras’ “Intellectual Property: SOI2,” this is “Bardom.” An incredible follow-up to “PayPal The Feature” (also on the LP, posted here.)

R.I.P. Sean Price
August 8, 2015
The Source, Rolling Stone, People, AllHipHop, Vibe, and NY Daily News all confirm that Sean Price (aka Ruck, one-half of Heltah Skeltah) died Saturday morning (August 8, 2015) in his sleep. He was 43 years old.
Sure, the comforting thing to say is that we should ‘celebrate the life of Price‘ or ‘remember him fondly.’ And I will; but right now, I am going to allow myself to feel a bit sad. I am going to watch vids and listen to all kinds of P (as Price would call himself) as my “Therapy” (yep, going all the way back to Heltah Skeltah’s early hits, too) to help me push through. I expect I will circle right back around what I was thinking just a couple of days ago: Sean Price was a beast in the booth, a lyrical weight champion (Mic Tyson) and so much more to Hip-Hop.
Sean Price was a crazy uncle to the Hip-Hop fam, but he had his own family, too. He gave us peeks and pieces of life with his wife and kids his rhymes and in video. We got close to P, so it’ll hurt a bit more; but we should also remember the joy that came with that closeness. I never personally met the man; but beyond rap skills, his zaniness would crack me up. The clowning that Price got into – like that Mic Tyson ‘live from Hurricane Sandy’ piece or the recent Tyrese spoof – is proof of just how far dude would go to get a laugh. I hope you got to laugh with him, too; at his antics from afar or maybe up close and personal. Yeah, I plan on laughing at some quality Sean Price craziness later; but now I am going to be sad.
Just now thinking about how I’ll miss posting those off-the-wall, no-advance-notice quick-hit rhymes and dope features. Those were pleasant surprises to be enjoyed, like his solo work. But there will be no more. A great chapter in Hip-Hop ends because the author is now gone from us.
Rest In Peace, Sean Price. We will miss you.
(Hit the jump for sentiments from around the Twitterverse.)

Beats TV: Freeway “Still Dre” Freestyle (Video)
November 8, 2011
While in New York City visiting Dr. Dre’s pop up store for his Beats By Dre headphones, Freeway hopped in the booth & spit a few bars before leaving the building. EARLY!!! Dr. Dre is really making a killing on sales of those headphones huh? Sheehz! Maybe this is where some of the budget for his Detox album will come from….IF.. it’s ever released.
