Megan Thee Stallion's 5 Best Freestyles

Megan Thee Stallion may be known for her pop hits and collaborations, but she has showcased her rapping skills on multiple occasions. Each album and EP boasts its fair share of viral hits. However, in the moments where she flexes her bars, she leaves the rap game with its jaws dropped. Megan Thee Stallion has performed a number of radio freestyles, where her lyrical ability shines. Mind you, she began her career by releasing freestyles on social media, which helped generate buzz before inking her first deal.




This is a list of Megan Thee Stallion's best freestyles. The freestyles are listed in chronological order and draw from both her radio freestyles and freestyle tracks. Take a look below.

5. LA Leakers Freestyle (2019)

Megan Thee Stallion's 2019 LA Leakers Freestyle may only be under 2 minutes, but she showed that a minute and a half was all that she needed. Megan slides over 2Pac's "2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted" with ease. Her flow is smooth and her voice is commanding. Although her rhyme pattern is simple, it makes for a compelling freestyle that has viewers longing for Megan to rap over more classic beats.

4. Fire In The Booth Pt. 1 (2019)

Fire in the Booth is known for its long-form freestyles as Charlie Sloth hypes up the rapper with his booming voice and explosive sound effects. During her freestyle, Megan Thee Stallion raps over two different trap-style beats, which are what she sounds the most comfortable over. The first beat is reminiscent of Eazy-E's "Boyz-N-The Hood," a song that Megan later flipped in 2020 for "Girls in the Hood." The second beat allows Megan to showcase a speedier flow with precision. The production choices play to her strengths, making Megan Thee Stallion's freestyle on Fire In The Booth one of her best.

3. Sway In The Morning Freestyle (2019)

Much like her first LA Leakers freestyle, Megan Thee Stallion's 2019 freestyle on Sway in the Morning is short yet still leaves a lasting impression. Similarly, she also raps over a 2Pac instrumental, this time it's his classic diss track "Hit Em Up." The menacing production pairs perfectly with Megan's tough delivery as she rides the beat effortlessly.

2. XXL Freshman Cypher (2019)

With the first cover debuting in 2007, the XXL Freshman list comprehensively predicts the artists to look out for in the coming years. With each cover, XXL shares solo a capella freestyles and group cyphers with members of each class. Appearing as a part of XXL's 2019 Freshman cover, Megan Thee Stallion was the clear standout among her class.




In the cypher, she appears alongside DaBaby, YK Osiris, and Lil Mosey, and showed her male contemporaries how it's done. Her versatility shines throughout her freestyle compared to the other three rappers who either approached the assignment with slow or melodic flows. Megan comes out swinging with an impressive double-time flow. Her verse is short yet effective and gave good reason for why she deserved a spot on the Freshman list.

1. LA Leakers Freestyle (2022)

Megan Thee Stallion's first LA Leakers freestyle in 2019 showed that she sounded very comfortable over 90s hip-hop beats. Her return to the Los Angeles radio platform in 2022 was another confirmation of that. This time, she tackled Warren G's "Regulate" - one of the most iconic West Coast beats of all time. Yet again, Megan Thee Stallion put a southern spin on a classic instrumental. "Regulate" is a smooth, slow, and funky beat that Warren G floated over in 1994. In the two minutes that she spends freestyling over the beat, she weaves between different flows. She finds different pockets across the record, slowing down and speeding up as the beat progresses. It's another stunning showcase of Megan's technical prowess.
