Freestyle Raps - Learn to Rap Like A Pro

By Daniel Akinson


Freestyle raps are essential to certifying a rappers skill in hip hop. If you can't freestyle, then you will never get the respect of your peers as a right MC. Luckily, you may improve your freestyles by applying the next examples.

First, you ask to increase your vocabulary. To make this, grab a lexicon and choose ten words that aren't overly used like "sat" or "work". Go for more fascinating words like "sporadic," "insolent" or intrepid." At One Time you've got these words together, consult a rhyming lexicon (or use one online) and find 3-5 words that rhyme with each word. So for "intrepid" we could employ "don't test it," second guessed it" or "tepid." They don't have to be perfect verses, just sound similar when you say them out loud.

One Time you've got a list of words and verses, memorize them and comprise them into your freestyle raps. Note that you are yet freestyling, but creating a list of verses you can focus more on what you want to suppose with the words or else of concentrating on the words themselves.

At Present that you're vocabulary is all set, it's time to step up your vocals. Most dope freestylers get fascinating voices and many of them change their tone to express their emotions. You can employ this as well. Simply freestyle in different emotions to broaden your scope; first, try rapping angry, then sad, then laid back. You won't sound alike Snoop Dogg right off the bat, but with practice you'll soon recognize how to connect your emotions with your voice.

While practicing the following exercises, try spitting freestyle raps while watching TV or walking around a room. As you see something new, try to rap about it. If you get stuck, you always have your safe words. Once you feel comfortable rapping about new images, freestyle in front of a mirror and watch how you look while delivering the lines. Are you confident? Are you selling yourself effectively, or do you still seem shy? Imagine yourself starring in a hip hop video: would you want to watch this person in the mirror?

By following these techniques, your freestyle raps will improve thanks to a larger vocabulary, your comfort with impromptu delivery and a stronger visual persona. Keep in mind this doesn't happen on a Saturday; it takes a few weeks before you start to notice results, but when you do, it's well worth it!
