"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my name is Ray Chou
I want to play now, just say how
You want it, I'm on it, any day now
I'm at the supermarket and it's time for me to pay now
A pretty bad rep, but that's a sexy ass chick
I'm slick, I pick this one to go lick my dick
Oh, shit, I'm way in over my head
I walked my skinny asian ass over to her and said
Hey, I'd like to pay with a check, and I'm amazin' at sex
Hey, I'm obsessed, let's go play in the bed
I said to the checkout girl at the fifth counter
I want to pound her, and she said let's bounce sir
Yeah, get her back to the bed, she attacked with the head
I'm like crap, this is it (pronounced more like "et"), don't laugh, this is sex
Don't be such a retard, come on kiddo, be smart
But as she does what she does I feel my little knee start
To wiggle, I giggle, my fat jiggles, I have a little
Problem, this is really bad, my bladder's brittle
I start to pout and shout as I try not to let it out
But my luck goes south and I release it into her mouth
She told me get out, I said sorry about the splatter
I have a weak bladder, what's the matter? I said with laughter
Then she called me a bastard, now I want to attack her,
Slap her, bash her, with my glory stick until she passers
Out and like put this shit on Brazzers, after
I'm done with the chick and her pride and stuff shatters
And after that I go home with my back hurtin'
And go on Facebook and share this rap with Matt Burman"


Don't take this the wrong way but... I wouldn't be proud of that if I were you. It's not funny, its topic is incredibly cliched (sex with 'bitches') and quite sexist, and it's the exact stereotype that non-rap fans have of rap - egotistical male-chauvinists talking about their fantasy sex lives.

But with that out of the way ... Great post! I've always wanted to learn to freestyle (and have made a few half-hearted attempts) but I've just never put in the effort. I think once my exams are over I might make a good go at it.

How long have you been doing it for?

You should probably learn from the greatest free style rapper...


Thing about Eyedea is he doesn't barely use any of that bullshit stuff. He has straight up rhythm and spits straight lines for minutes on end...It's an entirely different type of rap that in my eyes is more poetic than anything, I look at Eyedea as an ARTist and not as a rapper.

Eyedea should forever be remembered as as one of the greatest! May he rest in peace.


It's not just Eyedea, Slim from Atmosphere is amazing as well. It's funny, marshall mathers, eyedea, slug are some of my top favs for freestylists/rappers. Goos thread.

First of all..... This is called off da dome.Freestyle just means spitting a song to a new, unheard yet beat. Second of all not any "rapper" can do a off the dome. Spitting random shit is NOT good off da dome. This is real off da dome:

You can't out-think the swarm, you can't out-maneuver the swarm, and you certainly can't break the morale of the swarm.

Pretty sure you left out a lot of conscious hip hop info, but this is about freestyle rap mainly, so whatever.

But some things in conscious hip hop will purposefully not use the obvious rhyme word and instead use a synonym or antonym or something and then change the rhyme etc.

Example:

I saw the dead man crawl, sliding up the wall, rising up to hell, when he got to the top he dropped .... (instead of fell)

This is my shitty example but you see what I mean. And rising up to hell is the opposite of what you would expect to hear as well. Everything in these rhymes are metaphorical so you can almost interpret it however you want.


unrelated good lyrics
When I first got into magic, it was an underground phenomenon
Now everybody's like "pick a card, any card..."
If I shot my full load with the first hand I played
I'd be a monkey in a box hangin' with the David Blaines
I'd be swimmin' with the sharks, mouthes full of razor blades
But I'm not, I got out of that game - Escape Artist
I talk 'til I'm red in my face with strain polyps
I'll rock 'til I'm out of my range then raise octaves, I...
play through the pain and remain conscious
Refraining from commenting on the lame compliments
And the petty criticisms from those who ain't accomplished
Even one-fifths of some of this shit I made progress with
I'm leaving naysayers stumped like rain forests
After years of pullin' rabbit ears out my pants pockets
I'm not revealin' any tricks of the trade
It's just there ain't no magic in the breakdown baby

In an effort to make 'em all see what I found in my life I decided to give 'em a look
None of 'em gave it a glimpse and I guess that I'm sitting in the middle of an unread book
Letters are falling apart but the sentences stand on their own and the wording is permanent
Never been missed, I've just been misworded and misinterpreted, it's...
Funny how serving a sentence of solitary confinement
Results in the death sentences filling my writing assignment
I'm just wondering where my time went, it pulled a disappearing act
And every single assistant I ever had got sawed in half

You See I never payed attention
But I can't afford to laugh
'cause I'm lookin' for my break and an autograph for my cast
but I'm short on staff so all I ask is volunteers in the crowd
show a little bit of audience participation now
When I say hip (what do I say?)
You, you say shut the fuck up we ain't sayin shit!!!
And I'll respect it
Check it,
Got a flair for the dramatic exit
A fashionable entrance
Late to my own arraignment (Oh!)
The self-destructive things that I do for entertainment
My folks gave me this art, your broken heart is my pallet
While I was out honing my craft you was disowning your talent
That's why you still live at home and I bought this house off my parents
I'm getting ahead of myself (gettin ahead of myself)
I see the hair on my back (see the hair on my back)
I'm 'On The Road' reading Kerouac
It's poems versus better raps
I think to myself
What's worth remembering
Verses defending the size of my manhood or confessional canned goods?

In an effort to make 'em all see what I found in my life I decided to give 'em a look
None of 'em gave it a glimpse and I guess that I'm sitting in the middle of an unread book
Letters are falling apart but the sentences stand on their own and the wording is permanent
Never been missed, I've just been misworded and misinterpreted, it's...
Funny how serving a sentence of solitary confinement
Results in the death sentences filling my writing assignment
But none of this is getting told in confidence I reckon
I spin confidential records just to hold the listener's attention

I'm a veteran of spatial relationships
I clip ya wings to fit you in, head-shrinking magician
Shape-shifting reptilian turned body contortionist
Orphanages started offering torches to abortion clinics
I lost acquaintances in a morgue of lady friends
I gender bent the heaven-sent angelic devil-boy, and God's androgynous
I'm lookin' marvelous but looks CAN kill
And you're unsure about my sexual orientation still
Put me in a special kind of case that only breaks if
You hit it with a bouquet of flowers and baby breath arrangement
The vault is vacant
They're all looking for fault or blame
I called my agent
The moment that I caught the train
I let him know I'm going nowhere, and he's invited
If he leaves tonight then he just might help me find it
But this is my burden to bear, not his
And I'm a psychic without a sidekick holding the future hostage
A loose cannon standing on the rooftop with
A new respect and understanding of bartenders and locksmiths
They call me daredevil but I'm not precise enough
Unprofessional on an amateur level, I love my life too much

Escape Artist (x 5)

I'm in two places at once

Escape Artist

I ain't slept in months

Escape Artist

I'm just trying to get away
Ain't no magic in the breakdown baby
A man is what he thinks about all day long.

I've been rapping for 4 years now.

That freestyle was done a year ago, right around the time I started freestyling.
I didn't mean any of the things that I said, and I was still at the stage where I can't choose what I rap about yet, you know?

It just so happened that everything that rhymed with everything I was saying was really perverted :/

It's still a bit like that now, but it's gotten a lot better.

And you should! That feeling you get when you drop a sick line and everyone's like OHHHHHHHHHHHH is incredible.

Btw, in case I didn't make it clear, the goal is to start with random stuff
Then gradually work your way towards making sense and saying what you want so that it rhymes.
And then you know what happened all of a sudden?

yo I remember looking at this thread a couple months ago, I didn't read much because I knew most of it already but it kindof reignited a flare to write again, I'd like to know if anyone would like to help me out with a battle rap theme, I already have my first verse down, I need someone to get the second verse and full battle in the end

OP, Eminem is known to write his freestyles. Specifically the first video I listened to, I've heard those rhymes b4. Eyedea is a lot better to take examples from. His freestyles are 100% off the dome. Other rappers you might want to check out with unique styles: Slug, Brother Ali, Doseone, Sage Francis are all sick
