I'm pretty decent at freestyling, when a beat is on though I'm awful. When it's acapella I'm pretty good. Freestyling is fun, the rush you get when you start spitting some dope shit is great.


where in england u from btw?

Mc Wicked 02-15-06 12:54 PM

I can freestyle pretty good but when freestyling its not totaly freestyling because alot of times ill be going then hit a spot where I spit some lines that ive allready written. To be a good freestyler u need to be able to mix some of the shit uve allready wriiten with what uve come up with off the top

Like when I battle someone if im going to hit em with a hard punch its probably gonna be somthing that ive allready written or thought of

Freestyling isnt all about coming with shit off the top its about keeping ur mind going and at a rapid pace

Hampshire, u? You're on RapCityz aint't ya? I was in the league there for a couple of weeks, it was whack lol.

Also, I find with freestyling that if I'm in a yahoo cypher or whatever I don't do it as well. But when I'm sitting there on my own I can usually do it pretty nice, to a beat or whatever. Freestylings fun as fuck though, I've been rapping all day today and it's dope as hell.

Mentor 02-15-06 08:04 PM

i can freestyle i would be dope though if i didnthave ta stop for 5 minutes inbetween each line to think up of another mediocre line

Journal!st 02-15-06 08:34 PM

i DROP IT like its hot..........................big time man.............

OrEo da cookie 02-15-06 08:35 PM

i can..only becuz i been practising with my boys who freestlyed since they were able to talk..i mean shit when u hang with people that are better than u you got to try and get better so u dont look stupid..so now sometimes i can go for like 20 minutes..i mean its cool..writing your punches and thats it only help..thats all i do it write a meta4 on a paper and when i freestyle i use them and my souroundings..we did a song to that 6 minutes of death beat..shit was live..all free..

Check this board:

http://s15.-----------------/Yahoo_Cypher

I just set it up and it's so people can leave contact info and then get at a cypher whenever.

N.Tavarez 02-16-06 11:21 AM

i need to get on a freestyle AIM cypher with you guys
cuz i believe you aint got REAL skills til you can come off the top
convincingly

The Jett 02-16-06 11:29 AM

not me. an quite honestly I see no point to learn.

N.Tavarez 02-16-06 11:34 AM

its easy....................
if you are a lyricist you'll have no problem with it
anybody can sit down and do AT LEAST ONE HOT VERSE
so it seperates you from people

netcee's never do though.

but look at it this way, ur out and about and sum1 calls u out in the streets or on stage or whatever, and you cant freestyle, then ur gonna get slaughtered in that battle.

what u gonna do??? drop some pre-writtens, have ur opponent flippin ur best lines against u and pullin ur card on the fact u aint gettin personal, and every big hit he takes on u, ur not flippin against him, ur gonna demolished.

one of the biggest ways to help build ur name in the scene is battling and freestyling.

Nynth Degree 02-16-06 12:33 PM

The best freestyles are the random ones. Like back in November I was in Chicago, and some people spontaneously started rhyming in the subway. That was a fun time.

N.Tavarez 02-16-06 12:34 PM

aint that the truth^^^^^

if you can freestyle you will always be prepared to battle, or even just if someone you want to impress says " spi something" and you cant remember your writtens
you can bust a freestyle and improvise a verse, you dig?

Nynth Degree 02-16-06 12:45 PM

Word, and it's just really fun.

N.Tavarez 02-16-06 12:51 PM

werd, and if i knew 9th in real life, he'd hate me
I'd be like " spit something" all the time
he'll be lucky if i dont get him on AIM
but yeah
drunken cyphers are hilarious too
or finishing each others set up
like styles and jada do, theres a bunch of shit you can do

Nynth Degree 02-16-06 01:02 PM

That's the only thing I dislike, is how some people see emcees as always being obligated to spit. Then they don't wanna take no for an answer and keep persisting, which really puts you out of the mood to rhyme.

G Deuce 02-16-06 01:09 PM

Freestyling is an Art, and so is the ability to write. I'm grateful to have a strong ability in writing. I used to freestyle, but when i realized it wasnt helping become a better writer, i found myself going away from it. Its like the senses of the human body. If you lose your eyesight, your other senses become stronger. And vice versa.

*SmokeSomething* 02-16-06 01:10 PM

that real shit ^^^^^^^^^^^^^6

LOL i know exactly what you mean.
btw i was just playing i wouldnt do that to you
but in my old block i was known for rhyming cuz i was one of the few hispanics there that rhymed better then most the black kids
so they would be like " oh theres that german kid, yo spit something" (in the bronx they call hispanics germans dont ask me why)
if im in the mood ill spit but dont ask me to spit at work or while im with the hoes

you can write and freestyle, theres no limit to your rap skills
for example
we text on RV, off of RV we write songs, and some of us hit the studios
and others just freestyle
some do all of those things at the appropriate time
it compliments your other skills
If i get writers block ill freestyle a bit to break thru it

G Deuce 02-16-06 01:55 PM

Yea, thats true. Especially on writers block. Its good to help you mind relax by just releasing rhymes off top. But have you found one stronger than the other at times? Like, you freestyle better than you write. Or you write better than you freestyle.

N.Tavarez 02-16-06 02:31 PM

well i write much better
but i really release some steam off a good freestyle to a hot instrumental
but th e thing about freestyling is
you can kill shit all day, then later when u go to write it you be like " what did i say?"
u hardly ever remember freestyles so i like to try and record it
with anything i can: a tape recorder, old tape deck whatever
but u will always write better
its just the freestyle is you at your rawest form

Black City 02-16-06 02:34 PM

im dope at freestylin by myself
but around folks i gotta start off with some bars i wrote then it rolls off tha dome...werd

Daubs 02-16-06 02:44 PM

Im shit to average,

better when im tipsy...i unno, i try.

.Judicial. 02-16-06 03:13 PM

hmmm freestyling...out of a scale to 10 i'd be like 5, 6 or 7 if im lucky....like i always start off real good then i start losing words and i find myself repeating shit and im like damn....i neva really freestyled like against someone tho..maybe i should try that see what happens.

money 02-16-06 03:50 PM

i can freestyle but im not perfect. my shit is not always on top of its game. but i can freestyle. i do it all the time.

I am the only person I know that raps....
I dont hang out with rappers.....so that wouldnt happen....

KempoMRK 02-16-06 06:17 PM

I see it this way.

You hear a dope track, you go oooh thats a nice track.

Your in a cypher, you give them a list of words, they fucking rip it, u go ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Freestyling is one of, if not THE, most impressive skill in emceeing.

BigTony.Self 02-16-06 06:30 PM

^^^^^^^true .......it is definately impressive to watch kids freestyle

Sean Gunner 02-16-06 06:49 PM

Sometimes I can. Usually it's I can or can't. I can't freestyle battle really.

Dabatos 02-16-06 07:03 PM

easy.................

leady 02-16-06 08:08 PM

the ability to freestyle is way more impressive than the ability to write, reason being, freestyle u got to think ON THE SPOT INSTANTLY.... but if u write, u get plenty of time to think about stuff... but i know wat ur saying bout ppl llways askin head to spit n not takin no for answer

when im out n about, im ALLWAYS asked to freestyle n ill be like "i cant be bothered" or "im too wasted so fuck that" n heads will just constantly moan for me to do it.

like tonight, kids wanted me to battle some guy whos pretty sick, but i been smokin n drinkin all night so pretty wasted n cudnt be fucked doin it, n they wudnt take no for answer, its annoyin

anyways as for me, yeah i guess im pretty good at freestyling, i wouldnt say amasing, but i can freestyle pretty well, sumtimes repeat sum shit ive said before, mainly jus to give my brain chance to think of something or whatever, but also depends if im acapella or on a beat and the tempo of the beat.

recorded a freestyle this morning with my mate beatboxing, n the tempo was abit too fast for me to keep up with at times but im not fucked cos shit was fun haha... anyways yeh, who can freestyle?


I aint a great freestyler "yet" but I practice a lot. I actually do freestyle when I tempt to freestyle. But yea I can freestyle.

G Deuce 02-16-06 08:30 PM

^^^yea, we call them rap groupies.
