Shia LaBeouf recently stopped by Sway in the Morning to deliver a crazy "5 Fingers of Death" freestyle. Take a moment to say, "What?!" as many times as you need before continuing here. Alright, now that this fact has settled in a bit, let's move on.
Shia LaBeouf—the actor, director, and just full-on performance artist—made a visit to Sway's radio show to casually drop a few surprising bars. There's no doubting that the man who motivated us all to "Just Do It" can do anything he puts his mind to. After briefly discussing some of his favorite rappers—like Tupac, Biggie, and Missy Elliott—Sway opened the floor for LaBeouf to showcase his quick wordplay skills.
Frequent listeners and viewers of Sway in the Morning know that Sway often has his guest freestyle over five different beats to show off a bit of their talents. However, this challenge is usually only presented to the rappers who stop by the show. However, the results of this freestyle from Shia LaBeouf are even more impressive than they are unexpected.
Kicking things off with an attention-grabbing line like, "Get ready, get set, this a meme. This is wild, this a childhood dream." LaBeouf continued rapping over beats from some of his favorite artists who he previously mentioned. It's not often that artists end their freestyle on Sway in the Morning by dropping the mic, and it's far more rare to watch Sway put his shades on and hype the whole room up afterwards. Although that's an awfully hard act to follow, Sway and LaBeouf soon passed the mic over to Oswin Benjamin for him to spit a few bars of his own.
Watch it for yourself above.
