the problem with text is that since it's so formless and lines can be as long as you desire them to be, one wouldn't be as vigilant on their own bad habits, so their bad habits become "the way". writing over a beat feels like they're trapped, because they were so used to writing how ever long they wanted. That's all well and good, but in truth and in fact, ones "lyical talent" that they were building all this time wont be effective anywhere else but where the problem came from - formlessness in text. Freestyling on a beat or rapping their songs out over music? not going to be very successful, since they're not used to having a line-length format and lack that discipline completely. The can only get around this when they re-train their mind and learn this discipline. Everyone can make that adjustment, just that some do and some don't.

^And that's why there is a rift between "audio" and "text".
