“Tell Cookie get the milk cause the baby keep on cryin” 😭😭 Even Cookie couldn’t help but smirk 💀
Lol ya
What you talking bout bitch
Oh sorry did not mean to say bitch sorry
I like what you said
You like cookie
I can’t get over Lucious off to the side looking like Evil Kermit with that hood on
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
On god 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Yooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking tha same shit
🙀😆😆
Hakeem really knows how to work a crowd with his words
But Freda's flow and rhythm is mind-blowing
True. But respect has to be given to Hakeem because not only did he hype the crowd but he didn't stoop low. He could've destroyed her by talking about her dad and so on but he didn't. He spoke truth on who he is and his status. I honestly think he deserved the win. Freda's disses were good but Hakeem had style and good rhythms and that's why he won the crowd.
That's what Hip Hop is really about, working the crowd though
i like how she complimented his family but dissed him “we all know ya mommy was a hustler but you not you crazy if u think u really touchin her” and she also said “ya brother the man and he put on a night gown boyyy” that was dope as hell
She said “if you think you really tuff enough”
She said that like she not a lesbian herself
@@domocamefrmnun7636 nah she said touchin her
He dissed Lucious harder than he dissed Freda 😂😂😂
Mitchell Henson periodt
Right Freda actually battled Hakeem both rounds, Hakeem was just spittin mix-tape verses....till the last line of the battle.
Mitchell Henson yall should see the snoop dog episode when he called Luscious a b*tch
😂😂😂😂
Hackeem win
Luscious looks like scar right after he killed mufasa 😂😂
You got a ig beautiful
Travisofficialmusic she ugly asf
Elite Gamer I-
I guess he's the lyon king
You right
Freda literally gave me the goose bumps! Mad respect for her❤️
Yep❤
Hakeem's homage for the best of the best means he knows the rap culture..He killed it with the last beat man
What was the name of the song the beat from?
@@willferm5427 Flava in ya ear by Craig Mack
Taraji P Henson always has awesome facial expressions 😂😂😂😂
Yes she do and they be on point every time
All the time
Right!!!!
Facts
@@kiara198923 hekeem and Freda Gatz he battled her again in @empirefox
That bar "tell Cookie get the milk, cause the baby keep on crying" was fire
Facts.
That won the battle for me lol
Even Cookie knew it.. that smirk!
year
🔥🔥🔥
One of the best hip hop series ever televised. Awesome scene. Great craft
Who still watch this in 2024
Are we gonna discuss how Cookie smirked during freda’s raps like she couldn’t help cause she knew lowkey thought freda’s lyrics were sharp
she was a hustler from the hood, she heard real raps through her aging
Hakeem got murdered
Freda’s lyrics MURDERED him. He prolly won the battle just because the crowd hyped him. But she had baaaaarrrzzzz
She killed it frfr
@@reggietjevans he won the crowd she won the battle
Freeda’s rhyme was waaay better but Hakeem knows how to hype up a crowd 💯
Coz she wrote It down
Yess he do
hakeem shit was corny
@@MrRop-yp3wt They both wrote it down, it's called script
All of this is Tv. Zero lyrics are written or created by the actors. Good try though dummy.
That brownsville bully line hit 🤣💯
This is Empire at its best. Yes I did enjoy the drama and the plot twist but my favorite thing about the show was the music.
Back when Empire was a must watch.
Yea
Yeah before it turned into what i don't
Music was the only the only thing for me
just what i was thinking, ain't finish the show with their bull
No cap
Man the good times
When freda said “We all know yo mama was ah hustler and you’re not” LMFAOO😂😂
The way cookie looked

Donld
Find myself coming back to this battle. It was the energy and wordplay that was dope from both characters. #8Mile vibes
2023 and this is still 🔥🔥
Freda won lyrically but Hakeem is a natural entertainer
That was the cheat code.
He had to get the crowd on his side to win.
Like how MGK won
Freda❤❤
Freda won all rounds. A rap battle is maybe 30 seconds - 1.5 mins. The last round leading to the end of the rap… Hakeem raps for 1.5+ almost a hook, chorus of a song. Not a rap ‘battling’ it out
I can’t lie freda’s first verse went hard🗣🔥
Both her verses bruh, don't disrespect.
Gave me goosebumps 😲
Both!!!!
I loved hakeem but freda was lit!!!!🔥
@@Sylviakenneth yeah but he crazy right now in real life going to jail doing stupid stuff in public. He need help frfr so Sad SMH for Him ever since Empire ended his career didn't pick up
the sigh of relief on cookie’s face when hakeem start turning up😂 @4:11
It’s 2025 who still remember being terrified for Hakeem 😂
Back when empire was actually interesting
Cece Thebrat yeah first 3 seasons were best specially music wise. Star had some decent music too
Cece Thebrat you aren’t wrong.. after season 3 it was downhill.. really sad because when this show came out I loved it soo much.
Cece Thebrat right it’s mad boring now
Cece Thebrat deadass🤦🏾♂️
Exactly
Frieda dissed Jamal so hard, he stopped being a cast member.
She didn't diss Jamal
@@hopejeter700 She did. She emasculated both him and his brother pretty hard if you listened to her lyrics.
I did listen to the lyrics and she did not diss him and he put on a night gown is not a diss to Jamal who was unapologetically gay and fine for days and to the point when Luscious axed her ass who she went to none other than Jamal You reachin
giantkiller56 so funny. I thought the Jamal joke was hella funny.
At that point he started thinking on he could escape on the SUBWAY 😃
That last bit is just so AMAZING
Freda is good though, but Hakeem is a rap monster, he knows how to hype the crowd, his last verse got me like "Wow 😳😲" fantastic 🔥❣️
ParamountVevo He was wack af!!
@@larryburns7083 yeah don’t know what he was talking bout😂
Please tell me someone else found it funny when Hakeem bent down and started dancing 😂😂😂
Lmaoooo 🤼♂️
Not funny
Was dope, but it was clearly to hype up the crowd
Best part fr💀💀😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Freda’s second verse was something else
No doubt
I think it was better then hakeems
@@brandiejones5752 for sure
I was like danmm
😬😭
I always end up here,
Iove this vibe 🙌🙌🙌
Making me wanna rewatch the seasons over. She most definitely won
I think people missed the whole reason why Hakeem won the battle. Jamal told Hakeem that basically Freda would win because she's better with the disses, but Hakeem was better with being an entertainer and getting the crowd hyped up, which is exactly what he did and why they chose him.
she had em hype and in the battled he died lol
Right
Wish Upon A Sticker And because he is a Lion and she is not
I get that but his rap was still basically about nothing. A rap battle is about a verse geared torwards your opponent.I feel just performing the hell out of a verse is gone lose ppl.
Wish Upon A Sticker factsssssss👏
“ you just got CoOPeD”
Right cooped
Yung Chizzzy 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
“Slit my wrist all on your holy bible” she got emo real quick
Yung Chizzzy I WHEEZED
Coop always been a rapper😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤ can't get enough of this
We need series like this again
NO… WE DONT
@@reggieholliday1112 who is WE?
@@peterlujuo1640 EVERYBODY!! thats who WE are… WE need another series like the wire again… or breaking bad
Freda got bars but Hakeem be da HypeBeast
In reality she would murder him with bars nuf said
I agree with hakeem
Man she would murk Hakeem in real life.
Michelle Mack on kids boa
@Drizzy Jaye Not at all
Why is Lucius looking like he rules the underworld all while wearing a damn snuggie😳🤣
Thankx yall I didnt expect the likes😅
Underated 😂😂😂
Lmfaooooo
Dang hakem winnnnnnnn
😭😭
hahahahaha
"Your brother the man and he put of a night gown boy" that line was cold
I'm thinking of rewatching empire. This series was 🔥
For those wondering why Freda didn't win, the winner was determined by the audience. Earlier in the episode, Jamal told Hakeem that he couldn't beat Freda in a legit rap battle since she was way more talented, but that he had a chance of beating her if he could make himself the crowd favorite; in other words, have the crowd crown him the winner even if Freda's bars were better.
Big Mo Logan which is why it’s so stupid the reason why crowds don’t get to decide is because of hometurf advantage. Everyone knows that.
@@nebiyuamengesha9857 "movie" it's a TV show, not a movie. And it's been a while, so I apologize for mixing up the characters, my mistake.
Nebiyu A Mengesha u mean show 😂
Big Mo Logan Hakeem was more hyped in simple terms
Big Mo Logan and that’s the fact of most rap battles😂
Someone: You watching this in '21 ?
Me: Yes!
[Edit]
We're always goin' be here 22' to infinity... drop a like and stay blessed. Peace!!
Nigga me to 😂
@@trefive4806 🙌🏽😂
i’m rewatching the whole show😭
I’ve been rewatching this every few months since 2016 😭
I jus finished the show in the UK. I’m not ready to let go 😂
Mannnn this was fire
Im still listening to this years later freda came with it
The OVERLY hyped crowd is *HILARIOUS* to me 😂😂
They 2 DAMN hyped
Boimah Sambola right he wasn’t even saying nothing lmaooo
He ain’t even diss her, that nigga just rapped sum bullshit 😂😂😂😂😂niggas was going crazy, wtf
@@ran293 yea but in the show i think he somone suggested that he should stick to his own style cause he not rap battle type of raper but ik he's not amazing at battling but idk what y'all talking bout he spitting fire
@@armysean8915 Cookie told him to work the crowd because he couldn't fuck with Frieda lyrically in a battle rap and she was right. Lyrically Frieda devoured his ass then spit him out like he tasted nasty.
If all american made coop rap like this it would be over!
Fr
Big facts
Nfs
facts!
She just ruthless 😂🥱
One Of My Favorite
good old time 2015 i miss so much bro i love this serie i want reback in past
Freda looking like Missy Elliot roasting Hakeem lol.
Right
Or Pam
She fine af
I would've loved to see a GOAT smoking Hakeem... oh wait that's what's happening!!
Who's still watching this in 2019? I wish the whole premise of Empire would have been on battle rapping. The writers did a good job with this battle. Freda ate Hakeem alive lyrically.
But Hakeem prove his talent's no limit
WORD FREDA WAS A BEAST!
Judith Bourdeau he only wins because in the second round he panders to the crowd.
You right abt that
You are 100% right
"I know you mad cause it's not you, boy! You're the man, and he put on a night gown boy. " Insult of the Century 😂😂😂
Who's back again for this legendary rap 💪 2022
Freda won hands down. Her lyrics and flow were on point. Plus she has the voice to go with it.
Mike Hatton hell no hakeem got that
If this was just a rap battle with established rules of how it would be judged, then yes. Freda would have won, but it wasn't. It was an exhibition to determine who would take the last name of Lyon, and move forward with the company. Freda's strength is battle rap, while Hakeem's is showmanship. He used his skills to win over the crowd, and that's the most important part. What good is all of that clever lyricism if nobody cares enough to listen? You need to get the crowd's attention, then floor them with your talent. Plenty of talented people in the world that will never make it to the big time just because nobody knows who they are.
She roast the shit out of him
elcamp3 if that’s the case then there would be outrage online. There would be more people screaming Freda won. Because even if Hakeem can win a crowd that doesn’t mean people watching from their phones would be jumping up and down. But it is a plot hole so whatever.
@@elcamp3 so he won coz more ppl knew him? Coz this was a rap battle and he said f all but filler raps lol
This shit better than a lot of rappers that do this shit forreal
its scripted...
***** Don't matter its 🔥 🔥 🔥
Vega lee good
Vega lee u do kno that they are actual rappers and they make their own bars
What's the name of the beat ??
Bro Hakeem knew how to connect with the crowd even us watching loved seeing him perform
“This here not my swag. Lucious please give him a towel. He sweatin, bout to make me mad!”
😂 🔥 😂❤
Cookie’s expression when Freda said ‘so cookie get the milk cos the baby keep on crying’ is priceless 😂 she felt that!
Yeah
Even cookie was like damn that’s good lmao
Hgxhldo
😂😂🤣🤣
Freda sounds just like conceited from wild n out😂😂
Are you for real😀😅
I'm mean like towards the end of her first freestyle and most of her second freestyle
Not at all lol
Your profile name explains why you would even say some bs like this🤦🏾♂️😂 oh and conceited is from 🗣GRINDTIME,SMACK,URL,UCW,RBE even my guy🙄 wildnout is just some bs he do to keep money in his pockets
@@localdadinyourarea2039 True😂
I think Hakeem won because there are only so many times a crowd can hear the same story before it becomes old but being well entertained is an art form incomparable to any diss
I am from Norway and this song should have been everywhere damn the battle ooh
"You wanna be the queen or a Lyon tell cookie get the milk cause the baby keep on cryin" bars 🔥🔥 🔥
Bruh she wasn't playing 💯
To this day I still find it hilarious that crowd knew the lyrics to what was supposed to be an actual freestyle.
it was from his song in the show i think so it does make sense how they knew the words to it
It's weird, following the money team line, I feel like it was implied that its something that either him or his family says often on social media
Right
On a level playing field freda would have beaten hakeem 10 nil.
Free style doesn't mean sing something new... It's how u blend ur own stuff , even with new ones if you want to....
This never gets old🤣🤣🤣🤣
Coop in here Fr that's crazy
Your brother the man and he put on a nightgown boy??? Stop the damn battle right there 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧🤫🤫🤫
She's to real & I Love them all , this show is the best ever happy I started watching from day one
I rewind that part everytime 😂😂
@@yaritzaarias4257 same here
She killed that nigga I don't give a fuck what the crowd said
Linton Smith on god
All American gang where yall at??👀😂
Certified D we here
Right here
We need this coop

Freeda gatz>>>> coop
Classic🔥
wow... that was amazing..🎤🎤🎤keep the fire burning
“Tell cookie get da milk cuz the baby keep on cryin” still a bar in 2020
And 2021
2021 and still a savage
Too bad that wasn't a bar.....thats a punchline....you missing the rest to call it a bar. Fool don't even know what a bar is. Foh
In 2022
Who else still watching this in 2020?😂
me
Dead ass me😂😂
Typical copy cat bitch

Amazing
Eu gostava muito dessa série , que pena ter acabado sem um final
2:53 Lucious a whole fool😂😂💀
Isaiah Baker u can say that again lol
He did tht on purpose 😂😂😂✌
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭 I'm straight up weak asf. Luscious bodied his son with that hype. Damn. He ain't real
"Your brother the man, and he put on the night gown." Game over
pls explain I don’t get it
@@lifeline.6144 “and he put on the night gown boy” is referring to his brother being gay, so basically saying his brothers more of a man than he is even though he’s gay
@@cereselyon-bailey792 precisely
I miss this show..... Especially the music
They should've done a spin off show with them two.
The difference is; as Jamal said "connect with the crowd'' and that is what Hakeem did.
dude u r telling the trutb
I wish they would have done more with the Frieda G. Character.
I wish they bring her back
She's on a separate show..i forgot the name though
Boimah Sambola it’s called all american
@@jrkin they did for season 6
@@jrkin Freda coming back in season 6
Wow damn I really missed this show 😭
This battle was phenomenal, empire in it’s prime was legendary
I love how this is a metaphor for what fans really want. They want hype rap over lyrical rap, the writers smart for this.
Tyrel Chenault it’s always been like that 🤷🏻♂️ wanna know why Eminem has a huge fan and is a rap god? Because he understands how to hype the crowd and at the same time still deliver the message. Even though now he’s a bit of the wagon he still delivers the message.
Wanna know why cole is up there along with Kendrick? Because they both know to hype their crowd, they know to steal the crowds ear and still deliver their message. Lyrics aren’t nothing but words in a piece of paper if you don’t have the ears or minds to listen to it. That’s the music business and that’s what separates artists from the underground rappers.
@@mineralgrey8332 He ain't no rap god. He's a guest in hip hop. That title goes to Jay-Z.
@King's RampageAs long as we agree Em is a guest.
Omar Aquavivas but eminem is a lyricist also and so are cole and kendrick especially kendrick
Freda is good but Hakeem obviously knows how to hype a crowd up
Hi 👋😊👋😊👋
Yeah he hyped up the crowd but lyrically wise freda won
@@pongothecrownvic474 right😂💯
Heat❤️🥶
Freda Definitely got skills....she extremely talented ...But I love the fact that Hakeem didn't personalized his lyrics and he's truly about getting the crowd going.....Hakeem words flowed like Butter....
Underrated line:
"OOOOUUUUUUU! DID FREDA JUST CATCH A BODYYY?!!??!?!" 1:46
😭😭😭😭😭 he beeeen messy
@@yellowjello320 pls😭
True😌
I mean, he ain't wrong
funk flex
Even though this is all scripted, the fact that Frieda did not win this battle is not true to Hip Hop.
Chinonyerem Proud 2 Be Igbo You understand it’s more than bars in battle rap in the culture sometimes wittiness delivery performance if done right can outdo bars like Battlers from Tay Roc Hitman Holla T Rex these battlers consist of Delivery Presence and Aggression and pure showmanship won many battles even though the other had better more lyrical bars 🤷🏻♂️ that’s just how the game works
Chinonyerem Proud 2 Be Igbo I think they write there raps
@RAMON DEPONCE Eminem is also a rapper. That was lowkey disrespectful to the Rap God himself only limiting him to a hip hop artist
RAMON DEPONCE and this is a rap battle so the rapper should win
RAMON DEPONCE but it is A RAP battle so shouldn’t the rapper win
Both were fire
2022 who still here
I Honestly Have No Clue What Hakeem's Second Verse Was About. 🤣
But Freda Was Awesome.
His second verse was no longer about her. He realized he lost the battle so he went and got the crowd on his side to get elected the winner. The crowd decided who wins and Keem convinced them
@@originaler31er67 yes he did what Jamal advised him to do. There's no way Hakeem would have beaten Freda if we were going by rhymes and bars only
Simple...his first verse was trying to match with street bars. 2nd verse was basically stuntin' & having fun (hence the dancing in the beginning) & getting the crowd into it which was the advice given to him by his brother. He actually dissed his pops more on that verse than Freda. Executed a great strategy
Hakeem went in on that 2nd verse y'all trippin lol
He was proving he is in the same level as she. He is talking about the world he is living in .
Hakeem was clearly slaughtered but im *constantly* saying “i ain’t Floyd.... but I’m on the money team”
he won barely only because last verse couldve been a whole bet award performance lol
@@willlosobo6435 he won because he played to the crowd if they having fun they gon like you more. Sometimes the hype is all you need
Factz he was slaughtered 😹😹😹😹
who money team mine and petey and dillions
That literally the only good line from his second first
beat hard 🔥
Dame man you are on fire
If this was a real battle he would have lost simple...her shit sounded better and hit harder big facts 💯
Factz💯
But this was an exhibition battle which relies on the crowd and hakeem won over the crowd
Not only that his rythms at the end wasnt even about freda. It was about saying who he lines up to be next as. N my name is Hakeem bullet to the Lyon. That wasnt even punchline, no body at all. N nothing toward freda. That was a total lost. He was rap performing not rap battling. There's a very big difference.
no he wouldn't you obviously don't watch rap game were people actually battle I seen lyrical rappers lose battles because the other one hyped the crowd better look up deetranada vs Nova than say the same thing she only lost because she refused to dress girly she's a tomboy they didn't want giving the crown to but because the other person did fan servise he won
Lucious out here looking like Darth Kermit 🐸 😎
Tyler Miller lol 😂😂😂 haha
You have won the comment of the year award Lol he dose look like Darth Kermit 💀💀😂😂
Jasper Simmons when I was watching it when it first aired, I was like Lucious looks like a meme. But which one???? 🤔😂😂
😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
Vanessa Robinson And now LuLu gots the 'nesia 😂
This shit fire
Thank you sharing 🤎
Daaaaaam.....
She murdered him 🤦🏻♂️
Diosvany Vazquez no cap

Ong, Idc what no one say, she won.
u crazy u dont know what hh and rap is then
@@babyfonk4588 I know bars
That's why they took Frida Gatz off THIS SHOW, She was TOO REALLL...
Skinny Phatz she coming back
Yeah i guess so
They love that fake shit freda run that shit
Actually she was shooting a movie during this so that's why she wasn't on as much
She is in another show
Freda won the battle rap portion...Hakeem won the performance portion.
I’m still watching this in 2022 and I feel like they two should get together
