      1. Wow you are so smart… Written.. I have to imagine so… They are verses from a couple of their most popular songs. DUMMY.

      1. give it a fkkn rest! gza wrote his bars gza wrote his bars. like stfu man. pay some homage and show some god damn respect. R.I.P ODB

      1. No shit. No one ever said freestyling was supposed to be off the top of the head besides faggot teenagers who just started listening to hiphop a year ago.

    1. ODB came through with a nice freestyle.. BUSTA failed with a weak writtenstyle… Freestyles are not written, you may fall or stumble but so what its a freestyle

      1. bro u stupid, busta bust always kicks freestyles. he can stay on beat and make sense thats why hes a great

      2. The name of the song is WHOO HAAA. “I got that head not shit that make you break your neck. WHOOO HAAA got you all in check”

    2. Yea these youngens dont have a clue about a real rap sessions writtin or off the top its about exposing your skill

    3. That was pretty weak…I’m a busta rhyme fan but he showed no skills there with that written verse and yes freestyles are supposed to be off the head…lyrical and mental exercise. That was not a good representation of how it was done back then, especially with ODB lol I never took him serious…he was a bomb RIP tho!

    4. Alot of critics on this site about Busta , Busta did his thang and it shows because he has put his stamp on hiphop point blank ! RIP TO ODB!

    5. Classic footage. This is like having 2 professional athletes who are all-stars then we get to see a throwback high school game when they both competed.

    6. ODB and Busta’s voices are still unforgettable. Know exactly who they are from their sound x delivery…

      Unlike the GFK / Action Bronson situation, for us GFK fans… smh.

      1. I own every GFK album in physical copy so don’t say I aint know. He’s my favorite rapper. I also own Dr.Lecter in physical copy as Bronson one of my favorites right now…You are dumb. Like white bitch with a dick in their mouth dumb.

    7. U guys act like a bunch of lil bitches “I know more about hip hop than u cuz i knew these verses from each artists most popular songs!” Stfu and enjoy it for what it is throwback thursday nothing new about it

    8. Most MC’s have bars that they spit in ciphers (THIS WAS NOT A BATTLE AS HEADLINE CLAIMS) and if they do get put on some of those bars end up in songs that they release, that is the case here, this was from before Busta blew up solo and just as Wu were about to blow…FACT. And to the cat that keeps posting under anonymous claiming GZA wrote ODB bars, keep the gossip for TMZ faggot….

    9. I love both ODB and Busta, but this freestyle includes adlibs from tracks that were in their album.

      No reason such footage should have never came out.

      1. you have to work and use the computer and internet, and if you can do that and dedicate some time each day then you can do this with no problem. I have been working with this for a month and have made over $2,000 already. let me know if you need more help..>>>>

    10. KRS One, arguably the best freestyle spitter in the game, defines a freestyle as “A written or off the dome verse never heard before by the audience…” At the time of this cypher, neither verse was released on wax which qualifies both Busta and OBD as having spit a “freestyle.” Do your research and learn Hip Hop culture before posting non-factual comments!
