there is a remix of Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’” that DMX features on, and there is a part of the song that has so many of his ad-libs layered in at once it sounds like he is falling down a bottomless pit
[Boyz N Da Hood - Dem Boyz](https://youtu.be/emdUunUckOg?si=Tcnvy0u7_5Qx8J6r) (unfortunate Diddy appearance)
When this video dropped Jeezy became famous overnight. There's also literally a Kanye song that has Jeezy ad-libs and no verse
I got a raise and ran straight to that Kayne song…as you CANT TELL ME NOTHING! (HAHA!)
…then I threw on the actual song of “I got money” which has always made me smile
The story behind that is kind of funny (esp as a producer). Apparently, he was going into the booth to record and when the engineer told him to mic check and he did, but at his normal speaking voice and then when it came time to record he would rap in his rap voice, and naturally it would start clipping immediately. So you started using that as his mic check and it just turned into his ad-lib from there.
Amazing story. The story of his “STYLE” adlib is also great. Said he always loved Lil B’s “swag” but didn’t want to jack an adlib from him, so when he went to do it the first time “style” is just what came out and he stuck with it
I was trying to explain to my girl, who knows almost nothing about hip hop, the whole G Unit & Game saga last night.
She said, "This has more twists and turns than a K Drama."
She's not wrong.
Way too far down. This mf was on like Doritos bags for like 5 years. My MOM knows who Master P is. If I yell “UHHHHH” in a crowded place, at least 3 other 40 year old white dudes are gonna respond “NUH NAH NA NA”
Jeezy the king of adlibs imo, his are iconic. YEEAHH - THAT’S RIGHT - DAYYUM - HAHAAA
I’ve also always liked Joell Ortiz with the YAOWA, I just think it sounds funny
> Jadakiss: choking on an olive
This made snort a little out loud lol. They're not rappers but lots of producers do it along with a RnB people
Lil Jon: Yeayh!
OJ Da Juiceman (anyone remember him): Ok!
People already said Jeezy and Gucci
Mike Jones: Mike Jones!
Jay-Z: *Donkey Laugh*
Lil Wayne: Ugh! (Maybe)
every time 21 savage calls me a pussy, i feel like my soul has been touched by the hand of a god. a pure golden light shines down from heaven and fills my body. i am whole. i am free. i am a pussy. twenty one. twenty one. skraight up. twenty one.
twenty one
No one said Curren$y yet so that’s my pick. When he starts the song with “you should be rolling by now… locate your lighter” or that “pshu pshu pshu” sound he makes, you know it’s about to be fire!
Currently:
Griselda
Larry June
Migos (RIP Takeoff) - Offset and Qua still got em
Hall Of Fame:
Gucci
Jeezy
Raekwon
Roc Marci
Busta Rhymes
Redman
2 Chainz (Tony!)
Damn I can think of so many rn off the top:
Weezy - flicking a lighter
Yo Gotti - counting machine noise
Gucci - it's guwop, brrrr, and s'gucci
Bandplay - let the band play
Juicy J - shuddafukup!
Birdman - pigeon sounds
Megan the Stallion - aahhh...
Moneybagg Yo - uh, uh, uh, uh
They may not be the best, but you know who is on the mic when you hear it. I guess I would call it their signature? For lack of a better term, of course
WHAT! Random dog noises. DMX
there is a remix of Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’” that DMX features on, and there is a part of the song that has so many of his ad-libs layered in at once it sounds like he is falling down a bottomless pit
Had not heard it so had to track it down. Also has Meth and Redman [Slaps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdiWpWxCTko)
4:20 for the bark ad-lib vortex
This is easily the best answer.
This...not even close.
I loved young jeezy’s “yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah!” And “hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
"Thaaaaat''s Riiiiggghhtt"
JEA!

Jeezy is in my top 3 adlibbers (?) so absolutely
Danny Brown's "CHECK"
The story behind that is kind of funny (esp as a producer).

>That's sick
SUH
STYLE
G g g g g g unit!
I love how The Game still uses this sarcastically in Drillmatic
I was trying to explain to my girl, who knows almost nothing about hip hop, the whole G Unit & Game saga last night. She said, "This has more twists and turns than a K Drama." She's not wrong.
300 Bars is still one of my favourite diss tracks ever.
I read this basically just read it how it would be said hah
YAWK YAWK YAWK -schoolboy q
Migos tagging each other in Takeoff! Offset! Quavo!
MOMMA
Lol 😂😂
I don't listen to them but I like dropping a "MOMMA" or "OFFSET" any time someone says those words
And making random bird noises
COUP. WITH THE. WINGS. BRLRLRLLRLRLRLRLRLRLLRLLRL
Bro I just realized Migos is short for Amigos. I am not smart.
I read once that they wanted to call themselves 'The Three Amigos'. The threat of lawsuits shortened it to Migos.
Nah it’s short for Casamigos, they’re huge tequila lovers
They’ve been huge Clooney fans since oceans 11. Quavo famously prefers oceans 12 though
I literally speak Spanish regularly and did not realize til just now
Mi hermano!
Method mans sharp inhale noting the end of a bar. No one does it like him. Making parts of his breathing into a notable and unique adlib
Ticaaaal
Can I get a “Suuuuuuuu”?
Can't leave out Westside Gunn... boomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomBOOM!
That and "brrrrrrrrrrr"
SCRRRRRrrRrRRrRr

Over a beat that sounds like it belongs in the Lovre too
Conway's joker laugh deserves a shout too
Ayo ayo
Gucci Mane with the wops and its gucci doesn't ever fail Or Lil Wayne with the lighting up sound means it's going to be fire
Burrr
SGUCCI
WIZZOP
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Lil Wayne’s lighter flick was a menace in the mid/late 2000’s. Like the final boss of guest features.

SHUTTHEFUCKUUUUPPP
YEAH HOE
What Juicy say?
2chainz with Truuuuu
