Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you're in need of proof that freestyles can come straight from the dome and not involve writing and memorising beforehand, look no further than Juice WRLD, who would never have been able to remember all the bars he spit on Tim Westwood's Capital Xtra show this week.
"Right now we're about to go in so legendary, we're going to shut the city down baby," Westwood said at the start. "Let's set the tone, Juice World, let's go."
Juice introduced: "Y'all be saying freestyles but be spittin' writtens and shit - that's BS," before dropping straight into a verse that finished over an hour later.
That the bars managed to even make sense over that period of time is pretty astonishing, and it's quite exhausting just watching Juice go, in a state of continual creation.
Juice WRLD's debut album, Goodbye & Good Riddance, peaked at number 6 in the US Billboard 200 chart earlier this year, the single 'Lucid Dreams' drawing over 35 million views on YouTube.
