Rapping - Freestyle rapping. A freestyle rap is a rapped verse (or verses) which consists solely of lyrics made up as the rapper goes along. Some rappers will inadvertently reuse old lines, or will consciously prepare canned "freestyle" verses. Therefore, freestyles with proven spontaneity are valued above all others. Rappers will often reference relevant persons, places, or objects in their immediate setting to prove their authenticity and originali ...

Battle raps are raps written about the idea of freestyle battles. They often incorporate self-glorification, insulting language, and violent metaphors as if a real freestyle battle was afoot. Battles can be directed toward specific individuals or anonymous targets. The purpose of writing these raps (which for some groups are very popular) is to romantise real freestyle battles, express machismo and/or disgust with other rappers (sometimes referred to as wack MCs), or to just have fun and exercise lyrical skill. Battle raps differ from ...

Muslim Quotes: Proper Delivery of His Message

Only Allah holds the knowledge of the unseen and does not reveal these mysteries to anyone, except those He selects as His messengers. He watches over them through guardians that advance before and shield them from behind that He may observe the proper delivery of His message.

The first concept raps were rapped verses which told a story, as opposed to being used as a form of a battle rap, bragging, or nonsense. Such verses have been popular in hip hop music since the early days of hip hop culture, and several verses of the 1979 recording by The Sugarhill Gang, "Rapper's Delight" are concept raps. When a concept rap becomes adopted and popularized by the majority of rappers, it is no longer a concept rap. Telling a story was an original concept rap in the early days of old school hip hop.

Writing may refer to two activities: the inscribing of characters on a medium, with the intention of forming words and other constructs that represent language or record information, and the creation of material to be conveyed through written language.

Creative writing is a term used to distinguish certain imaginative or different types of writing from generic writing. The lack of specificity of the term is partly intentional, designed to make the process of writing accessible to everyone (of all ages) and to ensure that non-traditional, or traditionally low-status writing (for example, writing by marginalized social groups, experimental writing, genre fiction) is not excluded from academic consideration or dismissed as trivial or insignificant. This distinction is helpful in separating the writing from more technical ...

Stylistically, Dirty South is notably different from its northern and western counterparts. Whereas East Coast hip hop has historically been associated with complex lyrics and sparse urban beats, contemporary Southern Rap is largely characterized by its upbeat, exuberant, club-friendly tunes, and a simplistic rhythmic lyrical delivery. Within certain hip-hop circles, Southern rappers have been criticized for lacking lyrical substance or creativity. In particular, Crunk Music (a popular offshoot of Southern Rap) has been criticized for its re ...

Kool G Rap - Lyrical Dexterity. Early in his career, Kool G. Rap's hallmark was his rapid-fire, multisyllabic delivery. He trademarked the ability to rhyme the same syllables in the same combinations, though with different words, for a whole verse (16 bars long). This style is mostly apparent on the 1990 album Wanted: Dead or Alive, on such songs as "Play It Again, Polo," "Jive Talk," and "Kool is Back." The style was later adopted by Rakim and Big Daddy Kane, to lesser extents, and Big Pun who cited G. Rap as one of his biggest influences. Today many rappers use it, though few can utilize the style ...
