Shia LaBeouf is a shockingly good rapper, and people are freaking out
(Sway Calloway and Shia LaBeouf.Sirius XM)
Actor Shia LaBeouf shocked Twitter and the hip-hop world at large on Friday when he gave a surprisingly impressive performance in the "5 Fingers of Death" freestyle rap challenge on SiriusXM's "Sway in the Morning" radio show.
LaBeouf rapped for about four minutes over five classic hip-hop beats from artists like The Notorious B.I.G. and Dr. Dre while promoting his new film "American Honey."
"Get ready, get set, this a meme," LaBeouf began. "This is wild, this is a childhood dream."
Labeling himself the "Jewish Pac" (in a flippant reference to rapper Tupac Shakur), the 30-year-old actor's rhymes ultimately earned the respect of host Sway Calloway, who pronounced LaBeouf the "No. 1 MC in Hollywood" at the end of it.
The Twitter-sphere immediately took notice of LaBeouf's shockingly competent performance.
Shia LaBeouf is literally how I see myself in the future, rich, mentally troubled and somehow still finessing all art forms
