Webby, Telly and W3 Award winning Freestyle 101 is G4tv’s multi-platform hip hop show where the world’s top MCs spit freestyle raps off the top of their head and chat about the art of the rhyme. The catch is that they rap about subjects the G4tv audience cares about: videogames, consoles, the web, MySpace, YouTube, gadgets, movies and TV. With each segment, the audience learns a little about the art of freestyling, what to do, what not to do, and how freestyling fits into hip hop history and rap music today.
