Royce Da 5’9 | The L.A. Leakers | Freestyle #100 (Video)
March 2, 2020
It’ll take me nothing to put your life on the Dollar Menu, like Egg McMuffin.
Doing anything 100 times is work. One hundred episodes of any show is a big deal for any series. The L.A. Leakers series notwithstanding; and they figured out how to make this even more special… bigger… by bring in someone to bring in the BARZ and keep it 100 on episode 100. So here we go.. Royce Da 5’9!

Loaded Lux Presents: Topshelf Freestyle (Finale) [Video]
March 2, 2020
This is a big deal.
Loaded Lux is right. Not just because it’s for 5 bands. 5 racks. 5 stacks (big prize money). Not just because, this time, the Hot 97 Morning Show is also judging. Not just because the station is giving one of the voters a thousand dollars… nah, not because of just any of that… Because of ALL of that!
This is the Final Four! Chayna Ashley, Elz Money Muzik, She Real, Pressure225… all to bring the HEALTHIEST BARZ ever! To nourish us! To make Hip-Hop HEALTHY again!!
Congrats to our Grand Prize Winner Chayna Ashley for Season 1 of Top Shelf Freestyle.
After a national call-out for free-stylists to drop and post their tightest “24 bars” last year, host and freestyle extraordinaire – Loaded Lux selected 16 emcees to be featured in our 4-part video series to compete for the “top crown” on Hot 97 Youtube and HOT97.com.
Your VOTE helped determine the grand prize winner for Season 1.
– HOT 97

D Smoke – “2020 Sway In The Morning Freestyle†(Video)
February 27, 2020
Dude. Seriously. I gotta learn some Espanol so I can flex on folks and stun ’em! You see how G’d the OG Alfonso Ribeiro was when D Smoke hit him with the smoke… Then, just when he thought the ride was over… Smoke hit the gas and stunted! Popped a wheelie by popping off barz in Spanish to fully rep Inglewood. D Smoke = HYEEEENAAAAA!!! #FiveFingersOfDeath
(And yeah, I said Alfonso Ribeiro is an OG… Dude was pop-locking when Michael was moon-walking… recognize he was break-dancing before he was Carlton dancing!)

D Smoke – “LA Clippers vs Miami Heat Halftime Performance” (Video)
February 25, 2020
Lowry’s with black pepper. I’m fully seasoned!
You know, come to think of it, D Smoke is rapping like he’s rapped to thousands before. Solid performance here. I could actually see him holding down a halftime slot at the Super Bowl. The talent, energy and swagger… already big time. Given time, grind, and marketing push (of course), D Smoke could be a real force. That last element, the marketing, is probably what’s needed to wake this crowd up a bit more; because they got a show for sho’. Most times the masses have to be told to act like they know though.
Yeah, I said it.
Keep it pushing, D Smoke. Great performance during that Deontay Wilder entrance at the big Fury vs. Wilder rematch, too.

Technology: Industrial Robot Vs. Sword Master (Video)
February 21, 2020
So. One step away from autonomous killer robot. We are just gonna hand The Terminator’s great-great-grandpa a sword and hope he doesn’t kill the human opponent on some ‘are you not entertained’ ish??
Yaskawa Electric Corporation conveys to the world the “manufacturing spirit” inherited continuously in itself to mark its 100th anniversary of foundation.
In “YASKAWA BUSHIDO PROJECT”, we reproduced Machii’s swordplay with MOTOMAN-MH24, while challenging the industrial robot’s performance limitations by integrating “legerity”, “accuracy” and “agility” at a high level. Machii retains many world records like “cutting a 6mm BB bullet”, and his swordplay has a reputation of theurgist. In this project, we also tried to express the courtesy and considerateness that Bushido has cherished.
– [Yaskawa Electric] e-mechanical site
Oh. So the man vs robot is not a head up thing, it’s more like a I-can-do-IT-can-do-too demonstration situation. Cool. But, um, anybody notice that the machine is the one NOT sweating at the end? Just saying. Dope presentation. But just saying… to our future sword-swing techno-overlords… We cool. HA!
(Consider that this vid is almost 5 years old. Imagine what the robo-sword game is like now!)

Lady London – “2020 Sway In The Morning Freestyle†(Video)
February 17, 2020
I’m serial with the checks!
And that quick quote was the ‘nicest’ of the tame rhymes from Lady London. Most of it was NOT nice, but hella nice! And when I say ‘nice’ I mean skill-wise. Because the bars are BARZ, no doubt. But the BARZ are hella GREASY fam! She looks and speaks so sweetly, but that mouth though… TREACHEROUS! #WhatThemBarsDoTho
Lady London stopped by Sway In The Morning and dropped off some bars!
– SWAY’S UNIVERSE
Y’all better pay this serial KILLER. This lyrical ASSASSIN!!

Ron Suno | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #145 (Video)
February 13, 2020
I’m 19, but the hate gone make me feel old.
And yeah, admittedly, when you watch this from the start of the ‘presentation’… older heads (like me)… feel the hatred, the vitriol mixed with 180 proof alcohol, flame up from within, for all the frontin’… but WAIT! Young gunner Ron Suno got something to spit. And he will get better if he keeps it pushing. Glad I hung in there for the bars.

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.
