Recently I've become obsessed at freestyling. I can spit the words and have rhythm. But I tend to gasp for air and sound monotone when I'm struggling for words. I also sound a little nasally.

Are there any techniques I can do to improve on this? For example, listening to Lil Wayne, his voice is really comfortable to listen to.

If you are gasping for air your flow is off. Your rhythm should include regular intervals for a quick intake of breath. As to your voice, there probably are vocal coaching techniques for modifying one's voice, but in my opinion these are unnecessary to rap well. There have been successful and acclaimed rappers with all kinds of voices; compare an 'ideal' rap voice like Biggie to Canibus, Eminem or Lil Wayne. I believe how you deliver your lines is a far more important consideration, and delivery will improve with practise.

Ok, Lil Wayne has the most obnoxious voice ever. What you probably like about Lil Wayne is his flow. It isn't his voice it how he puts the words together. Lil Wayne could rap about anything in any voice and he would still have exactly what you are talking about.

Rap more, get more confidence, etc. As you stop having problems looking for words and get more experience you will find it just sounds better in general.

lil wayne sounds like shit even with autotune.

but actually, i bet most singers sound like shit without autotune. that seems to make the most sense as you wouldn't need autotune if you could actually, ya know...sing.

His voice sounds like shit no matter what. Listen to an interview of his, it is completely silly to be honest.

Yeah, hes just a stupid little crack/drank head.

But one thing you got to respect is his ability to make dead presidents.

Hahaha I love all these buzz terms, 'spit' 'flow' oh how you simpletons never cease to amaze me.

Also how do you become obsessed at free styling? Do you mean WITH free styling?

I swear avid rap/hip-hop fans are linguistically inept.

Of course, the first step to making something seem like a new, distinct field is inventing words so other people who have already done it all don't know what you're talking about.

But seriously OP, what you're looking to become competent at is called singing. "Rapping Voice", rofl.

Spit and flow are being used properly in a loose sense.

Spit - Verb - To eject from the mouth.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spit (#5)
Flow - Verb - To proceed continuously and smoothly.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/flow (#7)

Honestly, even if the definitions didn't match, slang is pretty commonly accepted. No need to come around and make yourself look like a twat over casual word usage. If you aren't interested in the blog then you and your ego can just click somewhere else.

It's trash like you that degrade tl.net to the incessant maggot hole it has become. The words spit and flow bring a colorful connotation akin to me describing you as an infested suture inplace of 'armed'.

I think it's funny that someone who's going to try using any derivation of the word "linguistics" would be so fucking unaware of the hypocrisy of this idiotic statement. Linguistics is the fucking study of language, yet you come in with your prescriptive bullshit and call people simpletons.

first of all, how do you equate stupidity with the use of a few words?
moreover, youre basically just critisiing grammar based on the dominant standard of it
there's a lot of ways to speak, just because it doesn't fit the standard view doesn't make it intrinsically inferior.
you're living in a fantasy, please stop being so ignorant
