Ok, Oswin Benjamin is the amazing performance in that clip, but how the hell can Shia LaBeouf be that good at that, WTF is going on, bizarro world??

The last time he had a viral "freestyle" video, it turned out to be--like much of his output in other media--heavily plagiarized. He sounds good here but I'm sort of wary until I wait a week to so to see if someone steps up to say he stole rhymes again.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 fuck the haters. This is proper shit. Now make it a battle with Joaquin... Better yet, a whole bracket tourney for supremacy among actor MCs. That's a cable show right there, you can have that one for free.

This is indeed an alternate reality.

Like, it's not the worst I've heard, but he was def falling back on some stuff. "freestyle" itself doesn't necessarily mean want you think it does, there are a lot of interpretations. 5 fingers, in concept tries to throw people off by changing beats, knowing full well most guests are gonna be promoting something in general.

if you'd like to see another good performance by a non rapper, check Damian Lillard. Note that's it's obviously prepared, but he has no problem following the beat.
And he's got a bit more to say.

Also, DonGlover is probably a better actor turned rapper, and Chance, Vince Staples and Danny Brown all have at least one good turn on the same segment, so watch some related videos!
