^i used to dislike it but now i've came around to it.
but anyways, yo...
last night, i freestyled for the first time in my life at my dealer's house. keep in mind that my dealer is a musician (plays piano and guitar), he's very into the music scene, but more into the metal side of things. one of my friends was playing an andy mckee riff (an acousting guitarist, look him up, hes amazing), and my dealer just started freestyling out of the blue. it impressed the **** out of me; it was a really funny and creative freestyle, combined with the fact that i had no idea he could spit just blew my mind.
we talked about it for a bit and i told him how i always wanted to learn to freestyle but just never did it. he looked at me and told me "dude, its easy!" he started explaining to me how to do it, and it just made SO MUCH SENSE. i seriously felt like this mother****er was revealing a secret of life to me. every little thing he told me made perfect sense to me.
after he was done explaining (to summarize, its more important to keep your flow than it is to worry what youre rhyming. in fact, dont even worry about what youre going to rhyme, that will come naturally, just concentrate on keeping a cadence going), i thought that conversation was over. but no, he told me "alright, now you try." i was a little bit scared, you know. having to attempt to rap on the spot with friends around me, it was slightly intimidating. but i agreed and my friend on the guitar kept the beat going. i just started bobbing my head, not really thinking, just trying to look at something in the room to start me off. finally i was off. my verse went a little bit like this -
yo, this is my friend and his name is ryan
and we're over here just buying
some weed over here at zach's house
and none of us are wearing a blouse
instead we're here, just gettin high
and instead we're here, just gettin by
in this life we livin
cuz i still be spittin
that wasnt word for word, but i definitely rhymed all of those words something like that. that was my first freestyle verse ever, and it felt ****ing amazing. now i'm so excited to just keep trying and improving. i recommend all of you that want to start rapping to just DO IT. **** it all, put on a beat, and just start nodding your head and letting it all out, dont even think about it. just go. keep the flow going and just go and go until your mind goes blank.
