@@Empirebusiness "on the off beat" is a musical term it's not disrespectful... it means he was rhyming on the upbeat instead of the downbeat, chill lol.
@@Empirebusiness "on the off beat" doesn't mean he was "off beat" it's the beat in between 1 and 2. So he's rapping on the "and" part which is hard to maintain smoothly off the dome.
That's some real street 90s gear they had on. Both those emcees are nice on the mic to this day: Very dedicated in their craft: Great role models to me in how prolific they are having such long successful careers. They've come a long way from this.
man ghost was straight coming into his own right here. this has gotta be 96. ghost swag is ridiculous. side note: Joe Claire was the best Rap City host of all time.

Originally, in Old school hip hop of the 1980s, the term ‘freestyle’ referred to a pre-written rap verse that was not on any particular subject matter, but rather was written for the purpose of demonstrating skill.[8] The term is still occasionally used in this way, though since the 90s, the majority of today’s artists use it to mean improvised rapping.[1] Contents [hide]
hiphop died as a progressive artform in the early 2000s...im not sure what modern pop rap should be called but it aint hiphop. (just to be clear the guys that were rockin in the 80s and 90s are still rockin today)
I remember watching this in 10th grade. Back when Joe Claire hosted Rap City. I never thought back then that Ghostface would be the 1 left holding the torch. This was before Ironman though. Hip-hop was so fun back then. Everyone is a phony thug now.
Never seen this before?? Ghost Face and Rae are incredible.... And the sick thing is, after all this time from the early 90's to now {That's allot of time}... Their flow is still remarkable! Wow.... The Wu
GZA uses the sword as a metaphor for the tongue From darkness to DNA, I move with my brother And we resonate, energy that shifts in colors Bringing MC's punishment, then I'm done with it The meter leave way on the fast break, I run with it It was not a hobby, but a childhood passion That had started in the lobby and was quicky fashioned Every line to line, bar for bar is clockwork Hazardous and powerful enough to have your block hurt
Its gratitude when you understand this shit i love these guys man Raekwon looks like a real kool nigga you and ghostface murdered the Observatory show it was an Honor WU Forever!!!!!
Here in 2021 I’m only 26 years old but I grew up watching this exact video this exact upload from this exact channel my whole life. It’s crazy to come back here as a grown man and get this feeling. 🔥🔥🔥
Man oh man does watching this make me realize how much I miss 90's hip hop R.I.P. My close homie hip hop it will never be the same these are the type dudes that used to get radio play this 1 lil freestyle is way sicker than any song you can name right now on the radio and that's sad cause they were just toying around hip hop needs a savior real talk
Rae and Ghost might have one of the most solid chemistry in hip hop history.
Jadakiss styles p
That’s true...
Meth and Red too.
Big boi said him and adre “stick together like flower and water, to make that slow doe”
Billy danze lil fame
@@9577frasier yezzir!
Red and Meth is also up there.
damn raekwon and ghost one the best one two punches in rap real talk
“Big chains hang like mice by the tail” 🔥
A top ten bar. Ghost and Rae is the best one two punch
*Mics* by the tail [as in a mic chord]
Top notch
like .. how do you even come up with that bar.
The whole first half of Raekwon’s verse was on the off beats. Most people would trip up and get lost. He is on another level
He’s was on beat mann shut up
Good ear man. The fact that it's natural for him to rap to the back beat truly made him stand out.
Naw that’s how he naturally rhyme.. he do it on his tracks too

Parmesan raps.... how the fuck does Ghost come up with this shit lol
#Legend
Legend Fasho.
spaghetti, linguini flavored tracks I touch
The lyrics are fire and all but the sound that comes from GF's coat when he makes the hand/arm gestures just compliments the whole freestyle.
Facts
Rae’s constant head bob and his grill is what made this video 😂
Mr Starks as always bodied this one.
💯 My exact thoughts.
...and him rapping along with Ghostface.
Right I love Rae
Gah...so good. "Check the poetry that strikes back, like a robbery, generating from the hi-hats and herb tea." That speaks to me.

"I pulverize wiseguys who drive by, my tape's murderous..."
"Analyze these Wise Guys. Now think, Built For Cuban Linx..."
Raekwon bobble head.
Bring this back.. Just relaxing and kicking lyrical rhymes
Peep Ghosts Aura. Peep Raes Flyness. Greatness.
Joe Clair getting to spit during this is like Mario Chalmers trying to ball with MJ and Bron lmao
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
90s flows killing this newshz
I’m 23 born may 6 1998 these new rappers will never touch or amount to Ghost and Rae hip hop will never be this pure again 💯
May 6 1992 💯
It’s just crazy knowing Raekwon and Ghostface tried to kill each other before Wu Tang and then became one of the best duos of all time
It goes to show you how powerful we can be once united.....like they say.wu come together as 1
This story and the delfonics story. Powerful shit
💯
Fake News they Never went at each other they knew each other but there was no beef
It’s crazy how this video got dislikes!!

"Come in the crib and check the gold sink"......😢 my compliments too the Chef
Love that fact that I'm always finding something from the wu that I've never heard before & I'm a die-hard fan.🙌
"Its Ghostface, grab your glass and toast to him"
He aint lie tho. Raise your glass n toast to him! 🍻 🍻
Ghost and Rae together is a deadly combination
I see this at least one time in a week. Shit, this is priceless. Look to Joe reactions on the second half. Damn, I wish I would go back to this time.
Whenever I listen to cold world after ins verse I pull this video up like the extended version. Love this freestyle, talent level out of this world
I remember watching this in 10th grade. Back when Joe Claire hosted Rap City. I never thought back then that Ghostface would be the 1 left holding the torch. This was before Ironman though. Hip-hop was so fun back then. Everyone is a phony thug now.
this here is the definition of hip hop
“Acapella mozzarella parmesan raps!” 1:16
guarding the base like graig nettles!!
"Ayo the set birth record of this rap tape, has no beginning or ending, ya buddha get laced" I love those opening lines so much jesus christ
Ghostface is always making funny faces 😁
That's because he's high as fuck
Raek is also
@@andreinikitin3262 True 😁
Nigga said guard the base like Greg Nettles , the legendary 70’s and 80’s third baseman.
Niggas had the smoothest flows
Big shout out to all the rappers mentionin Tony Stark name before RDJ and the Avengers movies made it more popular.
Nas, Rae and Ghost were my stylists in the 90's! I remember a Ghost bar he was like, " The older gods puttin' me on on how to rock this!"😤🤟😤🤟😤🤟

From darkness to DNA, I move with my brother
And we resonate, energy that shifts in colors
Bringing MC's punishment, then I'm done with it
The meter leave way on the fast break, I run with it
It was not a hobby, but a childhood passion
That had started in the lobby and was quicky fashioned
Every line to line, bar for bar is clockwork
Hazardous and powerful enough to have your block hurt
look at Joe Claire's reaction from 1:16 to 1:24
Thats the same reaction I had when I heard Ghost's 2nd verse
Love them brothers right there. 🔥🔥 🔥. That's rap on a whole different level!!!
Rza caught lightning in a bottle with these two.
It's nice to see masters of their trade having fun and enjoying their work. Peace.
Spitting hell of darts, Accapella, Mozzarella, Parmesan, raps

Despite rae and ghost having smoke before the wu became the wu, they are one of the most tightest MCs and duos ever. No lie!!!
That never actually happened them beefing on the show was just to showcase the beef between their two projects in Staten Island.

My Favorite Duo 🔥🔥
