Before rappers were reading freestyles off of Blackberries, they were actually spittin’ verses off the top of the dome. Okay, so NORE’s verses from this track are actually from his album but at least he memorized them!
Check this vintage 1997 freestyle from QB’s finest – Nas and N.O.R.E. (before he was PAPI or whatever he calls himself now). The freestyle is from New York’s Hot97 with Funkmaster Flex behind the wheels. Both Queensbridge MC’s trade verses of a very slowed down version of “Dance to the Drummer’s Beat“. Enjoy!
