Hall of fame Hov did it all without a pen

HOV crazy for that one

why would i appreci8 that

He wrote his ‘Seen It All’ verse. Surely not everything he raps was freestyled

If he gives me 10 million dollars I’ll appreciate it

Stop talking about rap music

Hov been rapping all of Biggie’s unreleased songs since 1996.

THIS IS…..

Stop gatekeeping rap music

I’m not gatekeeping but come on fam it’s 2021 go find out about Hovs process

Probably appreciated it more the first hundred thousand times I heard about it. Great skill tho

that came from writing so much that he could write in his head

other rappers that emulate him tend to miss that part and just rhyme half assed s***

You try to "write" a whole piece of work in your head and then try to commit it all of it to memory? That is not easy.

I think that‘s just an image thing

His goal is to make hard work look easy he‘s a The 48 Laws of Power reading ass mf he probably writes a couple of lines, memorizes it, then goes to the studio and boom magic

I don’t think y’all understand that he still writes his verses/music

He just writes it in his head instead of on a piece of paper. Which is different than completely Freestyle off the dome

Not saying it’s not impressive bc it is very impressive but a lot of ppl hear about this and then think they can just Freestyle and be as good as Jay but nah. He still “writes” out the bars

I think everybody gets that.

It’s still crazy.

I'd be more surprised to hear a guy writes in 2021

Love hov but still looks so much like a facade

Nobody I’ve talked to irl about it understands. Only people on internet get it but they don’t accurately represent regular people
