Sometimes it could be a freestyle depending on when it was recorded because the actually DJ ala Cut C, Whoo Kid, or Big Mike could take the track and put it over a new beat to make it seem like they got an exclusive cut when in all reality it was just freestyles...

like 2 gunz up... was a freestyle over the Bump Dat beat on Green Lantern tape, but he took it and produced the beat and it became a track...

simple.

I find it difficult to believe that anyone can flow off the top of their head and execute it perfectly. And I mean 100% off the top of their head. Even personals are thought about in a battle. If you were the 2nd to spit in a battle, wouldn't you be sitting there thinking of topics to diss your opponent? No one just sits their staring and then gets up and magically has 20 lines of personal disses towards an opponent. I'm not saying rappers don't flow off the top of their heads, it's just that every thinks one step ahead (when your rapping one line, you thinkin of what you'll say next) and pre-thinks.

Yeah -- I never got this problem some people seem to have with writing things in advance. Oh, no, you mean some rapper actually took the time to think about and perfect what he was going to say before he said it? Yeah, I wish they'd all do that. Being able to produce decent lyrics of the top of your head is like being able to throw a knife more accurately than another guy. Yeah, it's a decent skill and possibly useful for something, but if you need to cut a wire to disarm a bomb, I don't want either of you doing it like that.

Its Called Recyclin & Some Rappers Do It Because They Dont Be Getting Paid To Freestyle......

And i would like to thank u for being a complete idiot. Write shit for yo damn songs so put "written spit" on the CD don't put 'freestyle' a freestyle aint written once u start writing boom thats tha end of it plain and simple. Oh and your bomb analogy was ignant back to tha drawing board u go.

Wack.... Hes Aite

yo Zedd you wrong manin my home town i freestyle off the top of my head and as im battlin you i do that to

if that shit in yo sig is a freestyle from u. Then i'll grant u a pass to write the rest of yo shit.

You stupid shits lol... No he don't prewrite his freestyles... Usually emcees have stored lines and ideas in their heads and they let em out in freestyles, but Banks don't prewrite his frees.

50 sure as hell dont prewrite cos hes wack as fuck lmao...

Big L = best freestyler ever, peep him, and naw he don't prewrite.. he freestyled live wit JayZ for 7 minutes and shit was complex as fucc.. and his '98 freestyle was so amazing i have to question if it was a legitimate free or not.. 1

if you prewrite ya shit don't front and act like you can freestyle,just leave that shit to the niggas wit the real talent.

Holla At Em.

I'd say 50% of rappers do....only the great
vets have th confidence to freestyle......
Have you heard Redman Free?....Sick

If the whole thing is pre-written then it's not a freestyle. Think about it.

So i'd enjoy u explaining why I have the CD that Lloyd BAnks spit tha same EXACT verse on tha basement? And it was a CD that dropped about when In Da Club came out? Oh and explain how 50 finished Bank's punches for him. yeah u can't go somewhere and play hop off Lloyd's dick

..He sucks...

So many emcees prewrite now, its takin the art outta it. I respect Em to a degree, but not how he comes with all these "freestyles" that are obvious prewrittens

If i was in the position of going on the radio in front of countless heads and spittin the first thoughts off the top of my head though, I would prbably premed some of my verse, but fuck the fakeness of claiming writs as freestyles.
