The Mulford Act of 1967 was a California bill that prohibited the public carrying of loaded firearms without a permit. The bill was named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford and signed into law by California governor Ronald Reagan. The act was motivated by the Black Panther Party's open carrying of firearms while patrolling Oakland neighborhoods to protect Black residents from police brutality. The act was expanded after the Panthers marched on the California State Capitol on May 2, 1967 to protest the bill. The act ended the Panther Police Patrols, and since 1967, it has been illegal to openly carry a loaded firearm in public in California except when engaged in hunting or law enforcement.

He's got some more freestyles that are of same caliber on Sway Universe as well.

Word up! He's been slaying beats for many years! I've been a big fan for mad years.

This reaction is one of the best reactions. Real talk. Y'all got the humor, the wisdom, the energeticness and the appreciation for intellectual and meaningful rap. Y'all are able to break down bars too. Big respect to y'all! Y'all earned a sub from moi, yo. Keep doing y'all thing.

I'm sure someone has already said this, but Locksmith is that guy. His lyrical prowess is God tier. He's for real about his business. It's safe to say he's alot of your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. You can pick pretty much any track by Lock and be amazed. Love the reaction gentlemen.

The Mulford act of 1968 was the california law that made it illegal to carry a loaded weapon in public without a permit. It was put in effect directly to ensure the Black Panther Party could no longer use firearms to patrol their streets to make their neighborhood safe.

Lock is one of the rap aliens. He and Wu-Tang must collab. He and Black Thought gotta collab too. Word.

This is what locksmith does you need to check out his earlier work? He's been on sway.

His other freestyles are just as good, definitely recommend checking them out

Yep. This new freestyle he did is the wickedest Locksmith freestyle I've ever heard and the best freestyle period of 2024. The rappers who come after Lock on Sway and on the other hip hop media platforms must go crazier than Lock did this year. Straight up.

Locksmith has been top tier for years. I super beast. Great reaction!

Lock smith is From Richmond California Close to the Bay area

Loc been a legend for the last 20+ years. I surprised people are just now getting to him

There’s so many bars on this its crazy. I thought the A I scheme was about Allen Iverson? Cause he said he grew up watching A I? Not sure if thats correct. Before that, and right after the Sales rhyme scheme, he does a C scheme thats really sick too!

You might be catching the bars, but not always the doubles and triples lol but respect to what you do and I'll always be here to watch it

Go thru all his freestyles please!! won’t be disappointed

First off I want to say thanks for doing this. Lock is so fire and I knew once y’all heard him y’all would be blown away. Check out his DJ Kay Slay freestyle of 2019 and his 2019 freestyle on Sway. Oh also Bang Bang Niner Gang!!!! I told y’all. Chiefs is next!!!!

"Seed of Yazid will never get bayyah." He's referencing an important part of Islamic history in which Imam Hussain and his family were murdered on the plains of Karabala because of his refusal to give the oath of allegiance (bayyah) to Yazid ibn Mu'awiya... "disarm blacks with the Mulford act" is a reference to the bill that passed as a direct attack on the Black Panther Party's tactic of using firearms as a means of self defense. He then follows it up by a reference to the COINTELPRO which was orchestrated by the head of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover.

Shoutout to Locksmith, one of Richmond CA's finest

Man yall are hilarious I'm glad I came across this

He kills every freestyle. Definitely tap in to any freestyle he’s done. There all this nuts.

That was a awesome catch on that Maccabees line!!! No one so far has mentioned that... obv they mention the other bar too, but you are the first to draw my attention to that Maccabees/Hebrew/Israel scheme my friend...

His father is Persian and his mother she is African American

He's actually Persian and African American mix.

He's from the Bay area

He’s from cali and he’s half black and half middle eastern

Missed the Mos reference on the AI bar.

My guys thanks for doing this. Lock is one of the most underrated lyricists for years. ✊🏻. Also i peeped Craigs kill tony performance and my dude crushed it. Congrats my dude …… BUT …. Why Craig gotta stand so awkward like RuPaul during the interview 🤣. You know i had to get one in pause

Locksmith is insane ! Have you checked black though thought on flex is a really old freestyle.

When y'all can, check out Cambatta - The Heretic. He's another rap alien.

Wretch 32 & Avelino - fire in the booth

"False prophets that profit off bad juju, false optics our only option is KZread sponsored ads selling you conscious trash that I expose go and console your sad Guru"... Sadghuru bars. There are too many to comment on just like ya'll said but this one just hit me just now. Sadghuru, the Hindi guy who was featured in the end of one of Hopsins songs (Alone with me) and that has gotten all kinds of flack for being a fraud? Or am I reaching

Lock is dope. Definitely underrated.

my fav of his freestyles is the Moment Of Truth one with Kay Slay

Oswin Benjamin 2019 sway freestyle

That boi crazy Jada- kiss broke his Will 🔥

The Greatest Freestyler of All Time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y’all missed the Young Thug Gunna scheme

Snow Tha Product is one of the best rappers, regardless of genre. She's in my top 10 as far as current rappers

Man you guys been sleeping if this your first time hearing Lock, he's easily been the best rapper out for probably the past 4-5 years. This is honestly probably one of his worse freestyles, his other Sway ones and his stuff on Kay Slay make this look simple. Lyrically the only dudes even close to Lock currently are Los, Crooked and Oswin Benjamin. You should definitely check out some of Locks other freestyles, there's one on Sway where he's rapping to Fat Joe and Dre which is just ridiculous. Also Oswins freestyle on Sway which Sway called the verse of that year is absolutely worth seeing too, probably the best Sway freestyle to ever be done.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

check out his music vid AMERICA 🔥🔥🔥

He black and Persian

Please peep Vince Staples Freestyle on La Leakers and song sparks fly. He did better than Nas and Pac

Locksmith blavk and Latino

Yall missed so many bars .
