anytime you involve rap freestyles and danny brown having to explain things, i’m on board. after releasing the bruiser brigade EP with scion a/v, he drops by the selector series at gleason’s gym to pick beats and act cool, giggle and shit.

don’t get the wrong idea. i’m no keef fan other than ironic purposes, but pitchfork’s selector is a great web series, and this one doesn’t disappoint either. you could guess that his freestyle is god damn terrible, but it was fairly entertaining, considering it’s a 16 year old at a gun range.

yes! schoolboy hits the pitchfork circuit to pick from two beats for his freestyle, all of which takes place in an abandoned pfizer building. how appropriate.

sir fozzie bear gets put to pitchfork’s test of two random beats to choose from to freestyle over. waka seems like a cool ass dude. don’t worry, he’s still a shitty rapper.

i was always hoping this would eventually surface, as this is easily my favorite thing about pitchfork. for those who don’t know, selector gives an artist two beats and they choose one to rap over – simple, right? some of the artists featured are currensy, the clipse, big boi and the based god. tracklisting below the jump.
