i recently learned how to freestyle.. i always found it to be an amazing talent, but through practice i learned that there is actually a bit of a technique to it
the main rule i learned is that u have to constantly be thinking forward to what ur going to say next, i think what threw me off was i would say something and while i was rapping i would wonder if it made sense or not, or wonder how people around me took what i said.. but if ur doin all that then ur thinking too much. and as a result u are most likely going to fail or grind to a halt so basically when u freestyle u just focus your mind to locate dope rhymes and just delete everything else from your mind.. in a sense the work is in getting as lost in words as humanly possible. its like the less u think about other things, the more brain power u have for your focus if someone would have explained this to me a long time ago i may have freestyled more often over the years because previous to learning this technique, it was kindof a difficult (seemingly impossible) task, but with this technique, everything becomes much simpler i was also thinking this technique could apply to life oftentimes u fail or mess up or something or something seems difficult but if we think forward at all times and stay focused on our goals then we could recover from negative situations in no time like if u don't have a job for example are you going to allow what the news says about the economy to trip up your job search? or r u gonna stay in your own lane and move forward? its kinda even like the israelites in the bible, they were in the wilderness, and their task was to escape the wilderness and make it into the promised land.. but instead of staying focused on their goal, they allowed a negative report to scare them and an 11 day journey turned into a 40 year trek so yeah.. freestyling in theory has taught me how to block unnecessary things out and it has taught me how to recover from mistakes and odd situations quickly in order to move forward to a goal ZONE OUT and ZERO IN!
