Gotta find a new word instead of "freestyle"
Cause spitting written shyt ain't freestyling

Having nikkas knowing when to adlib while u spit is basically just perfoming a song on a different beat

Freestyles were originally written rhymes and several legends have said so:

Someone always has to come in say "that's not a freestyle" when that's exactly what they're doing.

A peer of Kane’s, Kool Moe Dee, confirmed this meaning in his 2003 book There’s a God on the Mic. He said that, until the 1990s, freestyling “was about how hard you could come with a written rhyme with no particular subject matter and no real purpose other than showing your lyrical prowess.”

When it comes to improvisational rap, Myka recalls it being called “off the dome” or, in some cases, by the more evocative term “sky rap.” But he was inspired by other youth culture movements he saw in the early 1990s, and decided to apply the word “freestyle” to his preferred way of rhyming.

“I didn't hear anybody refer to freestyling as improvisational rap until me and my crew did it and redefined the term freestyling,” he says.

His groupmate Tajai remembers referring to a freestyle in the original, written sense as a “New York freestyle” at one point early on (“Not in a denigrating way, but we had to differentiate,” he clarifies.) In the early ’90s, he says, “When a rapper was talking 'bout, ‘Can I go freestyle?’ it meant that they were gonna say something off the script; it didn't necessarily mean spontaneous.

Accept that you're wrong and move on.
