Papoose is the latest rapper to dip into his bag of rhymes and answer Diddy’s “Gotta Move On” challenge with a brand-new freestyle. Check it out below.
The Brooklyn native shared his freestyle on Instagram on Monday (October 10) with a post showing him sitting in his car with the song instrumental playing in the background. Right from the start, Papoose got his creative juices flowing and referenced his morning routine in the freestyle.

“Woke and thank God as I rise / I open two gifts up this morning they was my eyes / Stretched out my arms I start yawning / Roll over and tell my beautiful wife good morning / We gotta dress our daughter so she can go to school / Brush my teeth, the dog barked I said keep it cool / I gotta feed the dog before I eat my food,” Pap started his freestyle.
Papoose’s freestyle comes days after Fabolous kicked off the new challenge with his version of the smooth R&B track that came with an accompanying music video. The red-tinted video finds Fab rapping his bars from the comfort of his sprinter van.
“Back in my bag, back in my Fab/ Had to grab the white jacket and get back in the lab,” Fabolous opens the track. “I thought you had my back ’til my back’s getting stabbed/ Now I’m back in the Bach and you back in a cab.”

Later on the track, Fab switches to a delayed flow as he spits: “Maybach Mercedes, newborn baby, yeah/ Putting that shit on like AB, yeah/ Playing with the Buccs like Brady, yeah/ Think I’m running back is crazy, yeah.”
Fab’s bars caught the attention of Diddy, who proceeded to issue a “Gotta Move On” freestyle challenge because he was so impressed.
“Hey yo, check this out. My whole thing is I’m a platform. I’m a platform of flyness,” Diddy said on Instagram. “So right now, I’m a set off this open verse challenge. Because I know there’s a lot of MCs that’s out there that actually rap.
“So it’s an open verse challenge to see who can muthafuckin’ spit the best 24 — or if you only got 16 then you can do that — but if it ain’t up to par of Fab then you don’t get with the winnings.”
Whoever Diddy thinks has the best freestyle will get a co-sign from him, although he doesn’t think anyone will top Fab. “I don’t know if anybody’s gonna win this one,” he said, before adding: “Everybody put the record on repeat. Fuck that! We going No. 1!”
