Guykhena:

I've been really briefing myself in such freestyle art,in which I'm given words and just used in arriving at a punch,just spitting off the top(but not that perfect with it tho,setup probs),,that's why I watch such freestyle battles in which they're given words,like the one below

DNA was just urgh,he was so free,he did the words in reverse...

gottoboy:


Wetin you ϑε̲̣γ̲̣ feel like

Darkrebel:


he he he I have watched that sshit before...and many freestyle vids on YouTube..the important thing is have a filler..think ahead... have metaphors ready..be able to come with metaphors on the spot, that's why freestylers are advised to Notice their environment..every little thing can be a punch .. I don't rely on rhymes when free styling, I realise when I do that, I get stacked..so instead of thinking of what rhymes with this, I rely more on metaphors and punchlines..

Exactly,you just know.
If you just try thinking/focusing on the rhymes or particular rhyme scheme to leave your bar connected while freestyling(to arrive at your punch which you already know) ,you just end up lost,, when I encounter such I just make up words just to keep the rhyme flow in check (doesn't work all the time tho,,),

.if am stuck I will just say-- Am the Alaafin of Oyo for example..- the next thing I will do is try to connect it- I can connect it with -OBA/oyomesi etc ..and while am infusing the REGISTERS of -ALAAFIN OF OYO , a RHYME would come naturally.and that's a Punchline-then I ll' let my thoughts flow..-thats my technique.. plus to freestyle on BEAT is better than Acapella...cos on beat you ll' flow better

I put my Tips on Elymax learning thread- me and my friends in school here play it as a GAME --a spiritual game--. while one person is rapping, another person is pointing at stuffs and you must make a Punchline about it--if you stutter or Choke or laugh too much, then you are out and you will join the game again in the next set...
I still prefer CHARRON though to DNA
--he makes a punchline out of everything--he's like PROOF(when he's battling)
there was a freestyle battle charron did with a dude called Soweto on KOTD..they were bringing out things from a nylon bag and they were to rap with it while dissing each other..Charron killed the dude..he was making a Punchline after every one or two lines --Damn!! go watch that battle

Naah,not seen it,,,pls post the link.... I trust charron..

After much much αм in the quarter final
Iceskidd how market na?

Darkrebel:
and yo guykhena - the setups ish - if you wanna punch with *Kitchen* --like I will leave you dead in the kitchen for e.g

then your mind should quickly connect it --registers and things connected to kitchen....pot..plate..food..gas.. cooker...etc...

so you can freestyle rap something like this--

yo am fresh and fly..you should stop bitching/ i will hit a 'spoon' on your head..if that's what you seeking/ and I cook rhymes with Pots...and eat it like chicken/ am not an MC..am a Gas cooker...I bring heat to your kitchen/

no multies all through..I composed the way I would have rapped it if I was free styling... --that line isn't great in text brawls but in a freestyle its decent....
that's how you connect during freez bro... --

wow,nice, Noted

Ya,on a beat the instrumental just keeps your flow in check,you know how you're gonna go about it.

IceDaNemesis:
market dey where dem leave am

Darkrebel:

I will post the link to the the charron brawl tomorrow-- I won't forget.....


Yeah men you got it-- focusing on rhymes is not a good idea at alllll - but rather flow(when on a beat) and metas a d punches/...
If you study jay z's rap with Big L..he made over 16 or 17 metas and rhymed less(honest freestyle)..but Big l packed rhymes from A-Z(even multies all through(pre-written freestyle) --

Cool... I like rappers that freestyle....

Learn and master the art real quick .and chicks will start tripping for you bro and you will start ripping wackos in school and parties

LOL,what really helps me breeze through,is what's already stuck in my head, I just marginalize that and give the view of a freestyle..

Speaking of parties,I recall an incident,we went out to get some fresh air,and we saw a dude who was doing some freestyle rap(not know if I should call it that),my friend happens to know him,my friend introduced us and told him I did battle rap,and he was like let's duck it out(I was seriously not in the mood) I just agreed,in order not to fall my hands in front of the babes there ,he went 1st got some reaction,I did mine and was just pumped up by the reactions ,until I made a statement about ra.ping his mum and having her murdered(can't recall the line),*everywhere was silent* not knowing the dude was a whinnig biitch,(his mum died 2 days earlier) ,the dude didn't take it likely, mehn fight nearly burst ,,since that day I've been wary o,,when I remember the incident I just laugh,Charron high school incident comes to mind

loooooool

you dissed his mom? hehe..mennn I think yours was worse than charron ..next time dumb down your style, name naija we dey

don't ever go into an impromptu rap battle without having at least 3 solid lines..either previously composed or composed on the spot... last time I did, I effed up plus I wasn't in the mood again..

ohh boy"! my first freestyle rap battle- I can remember vividly.. it was in SS1 in school canteen .. I can still remember the line I killed the dude I battled..
actually blackberry was rampant then..and in my school canteen-most popular food guys ate-was Bread and Beans..and we all called it BB..
so when I said--the only way you can Ping...is if you buy BB...bread and beans!.lol ..that won it for me..
.I was so ffucking happy ...

this is December

in Magodo here..there is always end of the year party for those residing in the Estate-- its gonna be Real fun, cos there are many rappers here--both wack and ddope...

Guykhena:

You guys do stage brawls there?

IceDaNemesis:
Abeg Abeg Abeg Guykhena and Darkrebel make una stop those long long post na. Na only una wan dey this paritcular page of the thread?

Sneeze....

Darkrebel:

we usually celebrate the estate's end of the year party on the Longest street in the Estate so as to accumulate everyone... there's no stage... just on the street..
Adults usually leave around that 8/9... youths and children stay up till around 1-2am throwing knockouts, eating,drinking, chatting bla bla bla
.. rappers always spit during this period...friendly battles..freestyles...dance battles..etc... there's usually a d.j and microphones....
