Texas brehs... why are Houston rappers so good at freestyling?

[MegaTronBomb!]

None of that " i rehearsed this in my head, and i just spit it over a beat..and you'll hear it on a song that comes out later" shyt NYC rappers made famous.


What is it about you Houston nikkas? Kyleon, Lil Keke,Big Pokey,Z Ro, Big Moe...even dudes like Lil Flip and Riff Raff can freestyle for days.


Houston brehs, explain this shyt.

shyt seems like with the slowed down music, and everything being far apart in Houston... nikkas couldn't help but just rap in the ride just to pass the time on the drive.

And I'm glad you mentioned that it ain't that memorize a 16 and call it a freestyle shyt.

Thats all I listened to for about 4 years, cats from other places used to front on H-town cats cause they didn't get deep lyrical. I'm like don't realize these boys are going off the dome and not just a 16, I'm talking for like 5 mins straight.

basically if you grew up in texas, when you get throwed you ride around with ya friends just freestyling, shyt was just part of life back then

I miss that shyt

Lil Flip Freestyle From Soldiers United 4 Cash - YouTube

"Got guns, got cannons, shoot like Ed O' Bannon"

naw flip, dat aint no freestyle. that was not off the top. nope. i aint believing it. he just has that simple, lazy southern flow. the same flow he kept when he blew up. i mean dont get me wrong. he was doing his thing on that beat. but that was not a freestyle.


the reason texas can freestyle for real when they do it for real is because there beats are slow enough to give you a chance to think of the next thing you want to say. in addition southern folk aint checking for your lyricism. they are checking for a couple of semi clever lines. but more so for street talk.

"got a chevy, got a gun..
hit the gas
we on the run"
^^classic south street wordplay.

its the same reason them bay area mcees starting with Too Short use to freestyle forever. same thing. slower funked up beats. gave you a chance to think of something.
