Off The Top vs. Unreleased Verses
Now, just for clarity’s sake I want to make it clear that in this article we are talking about going “off the top” as we say in rap.

There is also an alternative usage of “freestyle” which you might see used which essentially means an “unreleased written verse”.

This is most commonly the usage we see on radio “freestyles” at places like L.A. Leakers, Sway In The Morning, etc.

There’s a lot of debate if that is real “freestying” or not and sometimes people clown rappers in the comments for rapping a verse at a radio station that appears on their album, but just so you know the difference… there it is.

In the case of this article, we’re not talking about that – we’re talking about literally spontaneously creating a rap the minute you hear a beat.

Now that THAT’s out of the way…

How To Freestyle Rap Better Step #1: “Spit Through Your Stumbles”
I want to start with this because if you learn NOTHING else from this article…

Which if you stick with us through the whole thing you’ll learn TONS more…

…But if you learn nothing else from this article, it’s…

SPIT THROUGH YOUR STUMBLES.

To translate this, it means “rap through the times you mess up”… with “spit” of course being slang for rap and “stumbles” meaning anytime you trip over your words, your brain “freezes”, or repeat yourself, or whatever.

This is really the MAJOR KEY #DJKhaledVoice to becoming a good freestyler.

The logic behind this is as follows…

Look, freestyle rapping is not a “NATURAL” thing to do anymore than dribbling a basketball properly is not something your body was evolutionarily BUILT to do.

So, in the same way that when you first start playing basketball, you’re going to not press the ball hard enough and it will bounce back to shoot and you fall over, or it hits your knee…

When you first start freestyling, you’re going to misjudge how many words you have at your disposal to use, or how many rhymes you have in your mind to say, etc.

The only way to get past this is to actively accept you will mess up a bit in the beginning.

The way I personally fixed this was I first start by admitting IN THE FREESTYLE that I messed up by saying things like, “Ohhhh I messed up, but I’ma keep going”… or “Forgetting what to talk about but I don’t care…” and then just kept rocking.

Over time, you WILL not trip up as much because what was once UNNATURAL will BECOME natural through repetition and comfort with the spontaneous form of freestyle rapping.

How To Freestyle Rap Better Step #2: Freestyle Immediately
As similar form of learning how to deal with the spontaneity of learning how to freestyle rap better is demanding to yourself that you will freestyle rap the minute the beat starts playing or you catch the rhythm of the track.

The most common image I think we all have a “struggle rapper” when it comes to freestyling is someone who will say, “I’m ‘bout to freestyle… yo… check… unh…” and then spend a full minute or two just ad-libbing without actually rapping…

This is the musical equivalent of getting passed the basketball and dribbling with your head down while pacing back and forth along the half court line without shooting, passing, or even moving forward.

It’s an obvious attempt to try to “think of something dope to say” or “not look stupid” but in fact…

…All it does is make you look wack and scared.
Much better to do just start the minute you hear there thing and put the AUDIENCE on their back foot by having to listen to what you’ve got.

Over time, you’ll be able to think of better and better lines faster because you’re training your brain to truly think spontaneously UNDER PRESSURE.

It’s also important to understand in this step that most beats are not formatted to just be rapped to nonstop spontaneously with no sense of structure sense most beats are meant to have songs written around them.

This comes into play because it means if you’re rapping nonstop the minute it drops, you’re ADDITIONALLY training yourself to “morph” with the beat as the different chorus, verse, bridges sections play along during your freestyle.
