what book is that? does he say its ok to have rehursed shit? or that he does?

Didnt read much of anything that was written above. But true "freestyling" is what makes an emcee and "emcee".

But yes, the majority of "Freestyles" you hear, are not really freestyles. Most cats spit complete and total written verses, not a bit of off the dome shit, which is pathetic.

Of course everyone has some lines in there head, that when they reach a dead spot in the flow, they bring out so they can recoup, i believe this is acceptable.

Most people think when they hear someone come with dope ass punches in a freestyle, its fake. (Especially on here). But I dont know about yall, but I have thought of some of my dopest shit off the dome, and after i spit it, im like "wtf, thats rediculous".. i jot it down and use it in a track later on.

Im really tired so forgive me if i ran on for days lol

I feel you, but yoru supposed to be showcasing your off the dome skills... if they wanted to hear some written shit, theyd ask you to spit a verse you wrote.

Your correct either way though.

well the thing is once you have written enough shit and used it in other freestyles or practcied it just in your head or whatever you get a whole lot of little segments ya know.....foir like a 30 second battle, mabye think of a quickie about the guys name in your head your battling...throw a couple segments one or 2 of the hudnreds you have filling your head..with the filler between them being freestyle....thats what i figure most people do...although mabye they rehearse a whole verse i guess it depends who does it..im sure some people do do it all off the top of the dome but it dont sound as nice or hit as hard...

i think interent emcees rehurse most

.................................................. .but well they all rehurnse i just dont know how much

internet emcees dont count

Naw, you have to, if it's a good punch you pre-created that. Only the "1" can come fresh off the dome, and say catchy shit all the time. Sometimes it takes a sec for you to register a brain fucking punch, so how long does it take to construct one, definatley not a coupla seconds. People may touch the apex a couple of times in their life, it's called bein open, but NEVER on a consistant bases

"Some people probably really do come completely off the dome but it doesnt sound as nice or hit as hard"

That is what is supposed to be the art of freestyling? Being able to come off the dome, sound nice, and have hard hitting lines and punches. Freestyling is an art, and that is what it is all about.

If your doing anything else it is not technically freestyling. Believe it or not, some people can do it.

I freestyle, pretty much all off the dome, and I always have. It used to be whack as fuck, then slowly but surely i began thinking of dope lines str8 off the top. (Im not claiming to be some ill ass freestyle battle emcee, cause Im not. Im not "dope" at freestyling. But you fools that barely come off the dome at all, beisdes with filler, that is not freestyling.)
