A freestyle is simply a verse with no real format to it... hence the term "free" style... it means your not limiting yaself or conforming to a specific "style" of rappin'...

now an "off da dome" rhyme is totally different... off da dome can be a freestyle but a freestyle doesn't necessarily make it an off da dome rhyme... in other words... i can write a freestyle down and memorize it for later use... an off da dome rhyme comes as you are rapping... ya brain gotta be able to formulate new lines before ya finish da line that ya already spitting... no need for that with a freestyle verse... if ya still don't get it, ya need to do some research... start with KRS One and the temple of hip-hop... sheesh... i always assumed that this was common knowledge in the hip-hop CULTURE...

I'll edit with a critique after i actually listen to the track ...lol... i always read comments first and then listen...
brb

aiight... just took a listen... actually like da beat... it's high energy... now... this was definitely a freestyle verse... there were no consistant patterns in it... but ... it don't sound like it was off da dome, especially with the dubs... if it WAS off da dome then props to da Q... i know it woulda took a bit to get them dubs right if it wasn't written down, though...

anyways decent drop... and speaking of drops... why don't you and M.I. drop this shyt already? I thought y'all agreed to keep this shyt EPMD? somebody gotta be da bigger man here... werd
