Doseone had this to say about his spectacular freestyling: "If I’m a good person, but I’m an amazing killer, what am I supposed to do? Well, I’ve just gotta align it, and go kill bad people."
If you doubt his skills, uh, here:
If you doubt his skills too, just try freestyling. And then try assessing the average 'freestyling' rapper. You'll hear them say a bunch of bullshit with perfectly coordinated internal rhymes or you'll find yourself stumbling over words. The art of freestyling truly lies in ones ability to say just what they think while they are thinking fluently into one direction. Doseone does that flawlessly.
And furthermore, after being asked what he's learned from a class he's taught about freestyling and rapping, the following was said:
"The other thing they made me realize—and if people read The Onion and want to come fight me over this, fine—if you don’t freestyle, you really are bullshit. You’re a fish that if I push into the ocean will make cat noises and try to swim to the dirt. They know it, I know it, and Rap Jesus knows. Lil Wayne freestyles his verses, but that’s a function of laziness. They call it “swagger”; I call it grandma ethics. I asked the kids who they’re into, and they go to YouTube and show me Reed Dollaz, who’s kicking these immaculately written freestyles, and I’m like, “Uh, boys, this is not what we do.” It’s like showing me a Van Damme movie in karate class." - Dose.
