Wordplay



First off, I'm gonna start making a habit of putting a video in the beginning of my blogs. Something to listen to, something funny to watch. Something to entertain you if my blog isn't interesting enough. I'm also gonna make it a habit of blogging not everyday but more often. I keep bsing but I just haven't found the time to. Even though I have all the time in the world.

People need to realize that freestyling is as easy as talking. You have to relate it to spoken word. It doesn't have to rhyme, it just has to make sense. [If you're not into that kind of thing, go on Youtube.com and type def poetry jam. If you can't find a single video you like, I can't say I could get along with a person like you. Sorry] Many people come into freestyling thinking that you have to keep pace with beat, same tempo, same flow, saying whatever it is relevant to say at the time. I find it more to be the rhythm that you deliver your words with and the way it flows and mends together with the beat. The art of flowing without a beat acapella is as amazing to me as some people consider presidential speeches. The words that come out of your mouth can move a room of people. If you add a rhythm to your words, whether poetic or hip hop-esque, compounds the power of the words by 100, i think. Words all flow out of our mouths the same way, its the manner in which we express our feelings that can affect the way other people perceive you. The tonality and confidence in your voice as well as the relevance of the words you say separate the people who sound like the can convince a whole room that the sky was falling successfully and the people who sound like remedial 4th graders. Unfortunately, you can't find this in all people, but most people that are comfortable speaking have a certain flow in their speech that usually sets them apart from the rest. (see politicians, rappers, musicians, businessmen, pimps, guys that spit game, lawyers, agents, etc)
It sounds funny to compare the politicians and businessmen to musicians, but they ironically have many similarities: both are usually chipped up, both use a certain flow with their words to "wow" a mass amount of people, both come up with punchlines that can get the house or house of representatives poppin, and they both probably drive nice whips. If there were ever a rapper who spit stuff that was government approved, he would be able to rule the world. That same rapper wouldn't be able to make it in the music industry. Damn, the world sure is unfair.
The way you communicate with people is way more important that our generation realizes. We're all used to talking behind computer monitors and cellphone screens to thoroughly practice speaking properly. It definitely gives you the advantage in life if you are able to speak eloquently amongst your peers, as well as the teachers and bosses that we seem to always need to impress. Read the dictionary and learn how to use properly. Read up on some information that interests you. That little bit of knowledge can probably make you stick out during the job interview you have coming up or impress that fine girl you've been trying to swag up on. Freestyling helps a little too hahah.

Hope you enjoyed my little rant.
