I've always hated Freestyle. The drum track just doesn't feel condusive to free-dancing. It's really stutter-stepppy/jerky.

But, I would definitely be frontin' if I didn't admit that I was feeling that song, "You gotta belieeeeeve there's sooomething inside of meeee....." That shit was kinda hot. That and "Spring Love". I can do without the rest of it. Those are both Freestyle, but I don't think they were 80's.

I've ALWAYS hated Freestyle especially growing up with my older sister who would play that crap constantly.

And teh worse is when these KTU "freestyle weekends" come on I just want to bury my head in some sand!
ARRGHHHHHH!

If "I want it to be real" by John Rocca is considered freestyle, then yes otherwise hell no!
