Recently I caught a video of Chiddy Bang freestyling in some board room somewhere for a full seven minutes, as producer/DJ Xaphoon Jones handcrafts beats in the background. It’s impressive if only for Xaphoon’s on-the-fly production and Chiddy’s sheer stamina. This is no 16 bar freestyle. It’s a fun video to watch – I caught it over on Pretty Much Amazing the first time around. Chiddy really gets going as the freestyle progresses – he hits his stride between minutes 5 and 7, which is just ridiculous.
Among the beats dropped by Xaphoon you might recognize some Jackson 5 and some Lil Mama. Dope and Dope. BUT, you might not recognize an even doper beat nestled in there, which Chiddy refers to as “Let’s Talk About.” It’s from Black Milk’s excellent album Tronic, specifically from a cut called “Losing Out” that features Royce da 5’9”. It’s one of my favorite songs from that record, which was one of TSRE’s favorite albums of 2008. Check it out below if you haven’t heard it before.And since we are on the topic of Chiddy Bang, here’s a hot remix they did of Ellie Goulding’s “Under The Sheets” and a cut from their debut mixtape that samples MGMT. Get on it.
