Summary

A rider on the N train claims freestyle rapping is just as good as talk therapy, then puts his theory to the test with Kareem right there on the subway. What starts as skepticism turns into an impromptu cypher, with bars about Morocco versus Cairo, saving $250 on therapy copays, and Will Smith's Oscar slap. The energy's infectious. Both of them start trading verses, getting progressively looser and more confident, touching on everything from vasectomies to Obama to dog rights in America. By the end, the stranger's completely sold on his own take, feeling like Eminem and ready to hit the pool instead of a therapist's office. Kareem agrees they might've missed their shot at Wild 'N Out, but the vibes speak for themselves.
