Ebonics (Freestyle)

Tony Yayo takes on a Big L classic. If you've been paying attention, you may have noticed a very specific trend going on with freestyles over the last couple of weeks. A few rappers who had some of their biggest years in the early 00s -- Lloyd Banks, Fabolous, Papoose, etc. -- have been freestyling over beats from the 90s, or more often, the late 90s. Tony Yayo has nailed this formula with his newest record, a remix of Big L's classic track, "Ebonics". As you well know, the original song was a lesson in lingo, and Yayo has updated it for us, going through terms such as IG, bando, and yes -- even trolls.
