^^^^^^your right for the most part

A lot of those Artists have freestyles that are the same but
just different beats

Written ~ Verse from paper

Freestyle ~ Verse from your head

And when it comes down to it...You have to be a 50 / 50 rapper
to be the complete package

Half of U should be able to freestyle
While the other Half should be able to write good songs

When it comes down to this Half & Half...Some rappers are 50 / 30
or even 40 / 20

You feel me

Some people like my cousin can freestyle for 5 minutes
without one pause but he rarely has anything written down

Me...I can write words till my hand cramps

But I can't freestyle for shit...Maybe for a few seconds

So when it comes down to it...It all depends on the rapper &
how fine he feels doing on or the other

But you should practice both because you never know

Who's / Who

You don't want to be a poetic writer battling a freestyler

Or

A freestyler battling a poetic writer

You just won't know if he's really coming from the dome or not
