Skillz Remembers 2009′s Biggest Moments With Annual ‘Rap-Up’ Freestyle
Published 12/29/2009
By Allen Starbury

SkillzVirginia-based rapper and writer Skillz is back once again with his annual "Rap-Up" freestyle running down some of the biggest moments of the year coming to an end.

At the turn of every year, the rapper drops the anticipated freestyle, and is right on schedule once again.

In the "'09 Rap-Up", Skills covers almost every big topic of 2009, including Michael Jackson's death, Barack Obama's Inauguration, the 50 Cent/Rick Ross beef, Drake's breakout, Balloon Boy, the Cash 4 Clunkers program, and even the H1N1 virus.

Here's a little of what he spits on the track:

"50 and Rick Ross, that's a new level of beef / LeBron [James] got dunked on and he ain't want us to see it / The news of Chris and Rihanna broke into the streets / T-Pain got on to that golf cart and broke some teeth / Tiny and Toya got a show, that's crazy / Tiny, you gonna get a new season, 'Yeaah baby,' -- Rick Ross shades was phony and fake / Enter a newcomer by the name of Drake / The industry gotta get it in gear / Because it's bad when a mixtape is really album of the year ... Eminem and Mariah seemed bitter, and we all took to this little thing called Twitter ... Chris Brown -- now that's my guy, but how he do an interview and all y'all notice was the bow tie / The media went hard, Chris you want us to forget just say what really happened in the car / Rihanna, she kept quiet, until she had an album to sell, but we still ain't buy it / Mick Vick and A.I. -- back in action and we were shocked by the loss of Mr. Michael Jackson..."

As the track comes to a close, he names Tiger Woods the "Idiot of the Year," before shouting out all those who passed away -- Mr. Magic, Roc Raida, MJ, and DJ AM.

Man this is one of the things that gets me all geeked up around this week of december. Its always something that makes headlines. Skillz is by far one of the most underated rapers ever (suckstobeyou agrees) and when i met him at all star he was very down to earth and wasnt uptight like alot of these mainstream rappers… LOVES IT Rap up 2009
