The Freestyle Hip Hop Artist

Probably the most challenging form of rapping is freestyle. A hip hop artist can be great in the studio, but the real challenge is freestyling. Coming up with good rhymes on the fly takes what I consider to be a real talent.

Another thing that I find to be truly artistic about it is not the typical ‘battle’ where wannabes take turns trying to insult each other, but the roots of freestyle rapping.

As a hip hop artist, if you happen to be one. Make sure to give the respects to its true musical roots. What would that be? Improvisational jazz. Back when talented musicians just sat down and went with it. What came from it was beautiful, just like freestyle.
