Do you think good freestyling is necessary to be considered a good emcee?

Honestly I used to be fuckin garbage at free'ing but I just spit and it was pretty coo...

But my dad is always talking about how he doesn't respect any rappers who can't free which always made me a little hesitant to tell him I spit. But anyways, answer the question. :thumbup:

Terumoto 03-25-05 07:32 PM

YES! If you cant free youre not a REAL emcee. Simple as that.

Logic The Goonie 03-25-05 07:42 PM

I find it scary how easy free'ing is becoming to me yo. F'real.

You Don't Need To Free To Be An Emcee..

Anyone Can Free With Simple Flows....

I Could Care Less How Someone Freestyles, If They Make Good Music They Got My Respect.

freestylin dont mean shit 2 me. i can freestyle easy az FUCK, but it's shitty, all 1 sylible n shit. werd

Nynth Degree 03-25-05 08:43 PM

Good freestyle ability isn't necessary to be a good MC I don't think. 'Cuz mainly if you can freestyle then that's just what your known for, like Supernatural. But if that's not your main claim to fame then the less people will want you to kick frees, thus it becomes less important in order to be a good MC.

CounTREE Jay 03-25-05 08:50 PM

What 9th said, niggaz that Free like insanely good get known as freestyle artist, not rappers and such. But you can be a dope M.C. witout bein' neccesarily good and free'n.

like cassidy is a good freestyler but his written songs suck donkey dick

Nynth Degree 03-25-05 08:53 PM

^Some of his songs suck, not all of them.

100 Grand 03-25-05 08:54 PM

all of them suck, just like hustla

Logic The Goonie 03-25-05 08:54 PM

you heard C Murders Track? hook is catchy

Dabatos 03-25-05 09:04 PM

If you could freestyle very good then you a good emcee because that means you've written many rhymes to beable to freestyle good for a while.. but a good emcee also doesn't have to be good at freestyling.. they could just be good at making songs..

TeamOne 03-25-05 09:57 PM

i kinda think slow...... but freestylin has become alot easier and easier i must say..... now havin it make sense..... thats a different story....

The Blacc Bar 03-25-05 10:19 PM

i dont think so, i can free average but not dat great and i write songs good

but so far both of da labels i spoke to ask me to free so yea its a must

Tmka"D" 03-25-05 10:55 PM

there is no law that says you have to free to be a good emcee just gives you an extra talent...

Pop Lotty 03-25-05 11:23 PM

You dont need to be nice at freeing.
Look at Cass and Jin, they can't put an album together for nothing.

And then look at Nas, he cant free, but you know about his albums...

L. Veracity 03-25-05 11:27 PM

never tried to free, don't think I'd be good at it cuz ion think fast enough...then again I never tried to write a song to a beat and now I'm good at that...I won't try thatshit for a while...shit gets on my nerves though cuz people in the South thrive on that freestyling shit but don't even talk about nothing and to me it's like "why rap if you nore even gonna say shit?..then just FUCKin' talk" which is what it sounds like most of 'em doing anyway, at least here in Houston...

but yeah, back on topic, it's one of the elements needed to be considered an emcee, otherwise you're a rapper...and dude that said shit about Cassidy is abso-FUCKING-lutely correct, Cassidy's album was cmoplete TRASH, I was mad after I bought it cuz so many people was like "Casssidy is dat shyt" and the only songs that really showed off his lyrical talent were collabs, he the type of muh FUCKah that need omeone else on a track to outshine or he won't push himself any...

again though, freestyling IS needed to an "emcee" but not to be a "rapper"...

[.:D:.] 03-25-05 11:32 PM

well...iuf u want my opinion...lol...no diss to OMB...but man...just ckuz u can free dont mean u a REAL emcee...ckuz ive been listenin to OMB's shit...and ive noticed that he freestyles betta then he writes....i dunno how..lol...but yea if OMB could right ebtta he would be betta....

but i cant free to good but i think im gettin betta at rappin nah mean...

L. Veracity 03-25-05 11:49 PM

on da real, I laugh at kats that be freestylin' better than they write, shit's literally humorous to me...cuz ion understand how you can have a beat playing over and over and sit but not write hott shit, but hear a beat for about 4 bars then come off with some HOTT ass bars..people like that need to just do anentire album of freestyles or use bars from free's in their verses...

poetry2abeat 03-26-05 12:00 AM

well this guy in my label made his whole albulm freestlying and it was hot, i made my demo from writing but you do get more resoect on the streets for freestlying but whose to say that what they freestlying aint already been written?

Yeah thats probly cos I get stuck thinkin of what to write about on a topic. If im freein I can just rave on and on and on about whatever comes to mind... Its easier...

Jason 03-26-05 12:03 AM

If You Can't Freestyle Then Your Whack Lol

L. Veracity 03-26-05 12:04 AM

if it's already written then it's not a freestyle, it's just some shit that you've already written, lol...

Jason 03-26-05 12:10 AM

If You Did That Then Your Whack Lmao Who Consider Freestyles As Text Already Written?

Jason 03-26-05 12:20 AM
