Make Your Freestyles Fire Step 2

STAGE 2 (Once you’re comfortable with Stage 1):

FREESTYLE RAP TIP #3: Observe and Report: Master your surroundings.

This is essential to being able to freestyle at your best. All the great freestylers can pick apart a room at the drop of a dime. You can’t always spit written material and expect to top the others.

One example was at a local freestyle battle I attended. One of the battlers spit a line something like:

“back in the day you could get away with just spraying lyrics
but this day and age we gotta actually wanna hear it.
I eat rappers like you knock em off the charts
n’ like yo cheap shoes (pause)
your lines just fall apart”

Both of these guys were novice, but this is still a good example of how you can point out something and use it against your opponent. Those lines got a roar out of the crowd, simply because of the tension he built up with the pause and the fact that he noticed his opponents worn out shoes and tied them in off the top.

These things really put you on top of the game.

Your observations should pay attention to a persons most prominent features, clothing, movements, actions, etc. (try to stray from disses that are in bad taste such as those based on race, they will likely backfire).

FREESTYLE RAP TIP #4: Understand your crowd.

Its always good to be creative. Use current events and slide them into your freestyle. Anytime you can successfully drop a line and reference something recent you will get the crowd going crazy. They will be suprised and your audience will understand it and appreciate it. You want to use material that most if not all of the audience will understand, but specific enough that they feel unique about understanding it.

Here is a good example by one of the best at freestyling, Ludacris (to Jeezy’s Put On):

“…Now before my nigga jeezy made this song for the city
before wayne put out a milli and in a week he sold a milli
before J.D. threw 10,000 on the flo in magic city
before usher jumped tha broom before he confessed that shit to jilly
before dj drama dropped tha southern gangsta grilli
before puff daddy changed his fucking name to diddy
before janet jackson went on the tube and showed her titty
i been reppin for atlanta and i been rollin like the 60s…”

Get it? Best example I could come up with. That would get a crowd going.
