Louis Stevens...is that you?! Not only did actor Shia LeBeouf roll to Shade 45 yesterday to chop it up with Sway Calloway about his love for hip hop, the Transformers star came through to drop some bars. And it shocked EVERYBODY. Listen inside...
His love for hip hop started with Wreckx-N-Effect, then All Eyez on Me, then break dancing and being able to kill Yo Mama books and snaps. He said that's when rap became his language and it's how he met all of his friends with it being the background of his life. He's a hardcore hip hop head, from indulging in The Pharcyde to RZA to Timbaland and Magoo, Kanye and DJ Premier being his fave producers. And he hit up Sway because it's his dream to do Sway's 5 Fingers of Death freestyle.
His California neighborhood was heavily Latino so he spent his days having a diverse group of friends just looking for a way out, and that's where acting in Hollywood came in. But hip hop was his first love.
So it's only right he attempted the 5 Fingers of Death. Crazy enough, he didn't disappoint. And he's got more bars than some new rappers in the game right now. Yeah, we said it.

The freestyle starts at 29:00, he also talks about his father being a drug dealer and the crazy drama he's been through in Hollywood. Oswin Benjamin killed it too.
