Tim Westwood has been one of the premier hip hop DJs in England for 30 years. Which means he is sitting on a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind radio freestyles spit in the pre-YouTube days.
Westwood has been lacing the streets with his weekly TBT freestyle releases. Last week, it was an '04 freestyle from Eminem and D12. This week, it's an '04 freestyle from Nelly and the St. Lunatics.
The St. Lunatics were so big in the early '00s that they had their own team in NBA Street Vol. 2. Nelly is joined by Murphy Lee and Ali here. They do not disappoint. Nine minutes of pure flames.
GOAT Tim Westwood freestyle is still '99 Eminem & Proof, but the St. Lunatics give them a run for their money.

Changing my name to Krispy Kreme
