man, everytime i pick up a mic, i choke. i mean, i know my vocab and how to use multis nd shit and i hella wanna jus spit it out, but cant. mah head just goes wack and i forget everything... neone got ne advice?

its kinda hard to learn how to spit...your kinda just born with it...

no i can spit, i can come up wit some tyteass rhymes... only when im by myself tho... when im battling, i just go blank. u knoe, like stage fright kind of

its there but cant come out...................8 mile.............duh.....too familiar but all ya have to do is build ya confidence up..............battle with ya boys first then battle other peeps...........aight sum1 shut this

Some people are but you dont have to be born with it..........

Just keep on practicing.......Pretend to be battling somebody or a great way to practice is rhyme with every single thing you see

close your eyes, forget whats around
think only on the topic
and 'lose yourself' in the music
works for me

^^Damn....that advice is amazing^^

does any one know how many times i can up a battle?

your just not ready to preform in big battles. you dont have confidance in your self, start off slow battling your friends, or battling other people at partys. or if you see people freestyling hop in and spit something.

i was the same way, i could write down raps, but any time someone asked me to rap them i would forget my lines, but when i was by my self i could do it easy.

then i went to the studio and rapped infront of a bunch of guys i didnt know and they liked my stuff and i got confidance to rap infront of anyone know.

its just confidance, if your thinking about the people around you, you wont be able to remember your lines.

all it is, is confidance.
