well my take on it is kinda liek this. Make sure that your bars are within the bars of music. Don't be talking at the connection point between one bar and the next. limit your lines to them four beat-hits of the bar man and it's hard to go wrong. Just make sure your syl pacing is on the money, liek dont' have the first half of a bar start off at like..14 syls and the second half like 8. It'll sound liek you smooshed everything in the first half. Just some basic stuff to get a good idea what's going on. You have any tracks laid I can hear?

Usually I listen to the beat 4 or 5 times, and I put an X everytime I hear a place to put a rhyme word, and then listen 2 or 3 times after that and then write.

Word to Dooms. That's a good way to start off writing in general. Later down the road your style and flow will become more complex and you'll have adapted to being able to write to beats effectively.

sometimes i trhink of a theme, or type of track i wanna write, and than find a beat to do it to....... but usually, the thing that works better is when i just find a beat im feeling and than write about whatever comes to me..... sometimes i actually free to the whole beat a few times, and what ever style and lines actually sound good, i keep..... i usually find the best rhyme scheme to a beat by doin that...... (recordin a few frees to it and seein wat goes best with the beat)

i unno if that sounds confusin, but do u know wat i mean?
