Papoose Shows Off His Lyrical Skills in “Fortune 500” Freestyle
Written by SOURCE on March 6, 2019
Papoose celebrated his 41st birthday Tuesday by delivering the full version of “Fortune 500.”
The Brooklyn rapper teased the drop via social media Saturday, after he was challenged to deliver a freestyle that included all the names of the country’s biggest corporations. Papoose shared a video of him completing the task while standing in front of a poster that featured the logos of the “Top U.S. Brands.”
“My homie E Dubb bet me a band that I couldn’t freestyle off of the poster on the wall,” Papoose explained. “I told him to put on one of his beats and this freestyle happened.”
Pap took on the task with ease, spitting rapid-fire lines with impressive word play:
Brand new polo, it was red, white, and blue like the Pepsi logo
Thieves obey they thirst like Sprite, know I got the hammer
I was gambling in Las Vegas at the Tropicana
They fall like Dominos when I pop those shells
I’m Universal my name rings Taco Bells
You can check out the full version of “Fortune 500” via YouTube above.
The freestyle arrives just weeks after Papoose unleashed Underrated, a 12-track project that includes contributions by Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Casanova, Musiq Soulchild, and his wife, Remy Ma. Listen to Underrated now on all major streaming platforms.
