Listen to Eminem & Proof Freestyle at Westwood 1999.
Tim Westwood keeps his throwback Thursday music coming and releases a new Full Audio of Eminem and Proof Freestyle. Eminem and his D12 partner-in-rhyme, the late Proof, were featured on a previously unreleased freestyle from 1999 by Tim Westwood. The 13-minute session sends us back to Early Career Eminem, displaying his unique blend of talent: an inimitable way with words, a sometimes crazy sense of humour, and a remarkable synergy with Proof.
Monday (May 27) celebrated the ten-year anniversary of a popular freestyle performed on Westwood’s programme by Eminem and another D12 member, Mr. Porter, in 2009. In honour of the occasion, Westwood released a previously unheard Eminem and Proof freestyle recorded on the 1999 New York Live performance with Westwood and Marley Marl. Both MCs spit off the top of their lungs and absolutely show off their abilities on the mike.
“I’ll do it with the fluid that I’m spillin/I’ll illin’ plus I’m chillin’/I’m not a villain,” Em raps. “Forget the controversy surrounding me/And all these fake a** press people surrounding me, hounding me/But I don’t give a damn because I smoke a pound of weed/Y’all don’t want none of me!” EM Rapped
The Big Proof was up next, and he went in as the beat changed to Em’s Dr. Dre-assisted 1999 hit, “Guilty Conscience.” “Too many white and Black people I been gnarly/Rocking with Tim Westwood and Mr. Marley,” Proof says. “It’s time for us to do y’all—who y’all?/We break balls like cue balls while y’all switch up like Ru Paul/It’s true y’all don’t want to mess around with us/A lot of people out there is dangerous!”
The seasoned DJ from the UK, Westwood, has recently been looking through his vaults. He provided us with access to a 1999 Jay-Z freestyle that had previously gone undiscovered late last year. Then, in December, DJ Eclipse gave us access to 1998 footage of Eminem and Royce da 5’9 on “The Halftime Show” that had never before been made public online.
Check out one of the newest & dopest freestyles from Throwback. R.I.P. Big Proof.
