Tech N9ne Doesn't Believe Jay Z or Lil Wayne Freestyle Lyrics

[loch121]

IDK but I know it's totally possible to make up rhymes and memorize them without writing because I have done it many times

i prefer to have my pen and pad, but have stored raps in my brain too

They probably do write sometimes, but them niggas ain't really got shit to do, but rap

They got business ventures, but they're days consist of music shit

they dont freestyle

they rehearse the verse in their head without writing it down..its actually the same as writing really. its just that when you write, you write down the first few lines you wanna go with, then you move on to the next lines. but you still have to rehearse it when its all done

so its really the same process in a different order

Exactly. And it's not good to do that either. Big Boi did it for the first Outkast album. Then Dre taught him how to write the lyrics down and craft them, and Big has been improving lyrically ever since. I don't care who you are or what kind of writing you do, you product can only get better by you writing it down and going over it a few times.

You might get (the perception of) a better product, but you lose the natural flow of things. Now the verse has a higher chance of coming out extra mechanical on some rhyme ever word shit or line up every syllable shit or even some overly complex shit like Aesop Rock and them.

Some people like that shit, but most don't.

exactly

writing is more technical

"freestyle rehearsal" is all about flow

I believe Wayne freestyled on Tha Carter 2 up until tha Carter 4. All his mixtape shit is freestyle too.

Ever since Black Album nggas bitin w/ their 'oh shyt, he didnt even write his rhymes down' stories...

dude was probably contacting the mothership

Biggie kind of started that, Jay ran with it and now every rapper trying to do the same, Biggie was unique to me because the amount of weed he smoked, this nigga could still go in the booth and rip shit off the dome.

The shit is a mental exercise so the more you do it the easier it gets to remember. I do believe Jay about him starting remembering with out paper when he was running the streets because when you're a writer of any kind any random thing you see or hear can spark an idea and it can suck to not always be near a pen and paper to write it down

 

[Bcotton5]

Wayne is too dope he dont have to write it down

They definitley Freestyle rappers

That's why Jay Z and Lil Wayne got the style they do

They both put a lotta emphasis on Flow in their music and focus on Flow

 

[GunTown]

I've always thought Jay Z's Freestyles are better than his actual songs though

I would check for a Jay Z Freestyle before i would check for a Jay Z song

This is about the 6 time I've seen this post word for word. Sure this isn't some bot?

Even Kendrick has said he don't write shit down. Wayne said he started writing again for Carter IV and we see how that went. (I personally blame the lack of drugs, but writing could have also been a factor.)

Kanye has also said he doesn't write bars down. It just seems like a more natural approach Imo but they aren't that much different. Some artists are probably better at one than the other.

Jay-Z writes about memorizing rhymes in his book Decoded. Saying he had to sit on the stoop for hours at a time and couldn't leave, so he learned to memorize. I believe it.

 

[GunTown]

Jay Z and Lil Waynes aren't artistic type rappers

They mainly rap about how they are better than other rappers, about materialistic items, about selling drugs, about being thugs, about their wealth. They both use a lotta Punchlines

U gotta keep in mind they Freestyle their songs because the best aspect of their music is their Flow and because Flow is their greatest strength
