There Hasn't Been A Full Length Study on The Intelligence that is Required to Freestyle...Except 1!

Freestyling is to MC's what improv is to actors. More rappers should really practice freestyling and actually try to get good at it. It takes a high level of creativity to be a master freestyler. Shout out to one of my GOATs, Mos Def

That's actually a great analogy. I would put it akin to comedians doing improv.

Freestyling is a difficult skill but also a pointless one I'd honestly rather listen to full fledged written tracks. I used to think you had to be able to freestyle off the dome to make a living as a rapper. It gets even harder when you have to do it in front of people or record it. One of the reasons I kinda don't wanna be a famous rapper is the radio hosts like sway/westwood will expect me to rip something on 5 fingers of death( i guess nowadays it can be written but how am I gonna conveniently have 4 verses that match the beat right away?). If I can't come prepared I may fukk up.

The main problem arises when you can't find a word to rhyme with or start recycling shyt and then say things that don't make no sense or start rapping off beat because your mouth is too quick.
