The ultimate test of a rapper's ability & wits is being able to freestyle. If you can't freestyle well you're a shitty rapper. (e.g. Kanye, 2chainz, drake)

That's like saying you're a bad instrumentalist if you can't improvise.
Chance The Rapper is terrible at freestyling
Doesn't surprise me
That's because Rap is not music.
>instrumentalist
what does improvised urban rhyming have to do with music?
im genuinely curious
So written out lyrics which could have some creative thought into them doesn't show the talent as much as making up something on the spot?
Correct. That's why Robert Fripp is the only guitarist worth a shit

>david gilmour
>Derek Bailey
>Sonny Sharrock
>James Blood Ulmer
>literally tons on guitarists
this is like saying bob ross is GOAT visual artist because he can paint shit in 5 minutes

Correct. Rhymes, metaphors, puns and double entendres made up on the fly speaks more about a rappers ability and wit than written out lyrics
reminder that this exists

Nobody can come up with double entendres off the fly

why would you think that? that's dumb as fuck to think
that's true though
the worst part of this whole thing is that if Kanye had busted out some crazy good freestyle everyone would look back at this whole interview like he really was a genius and it would be a historic victory instead of embarrassment.
Like said it goes for instruments as well. If you can't appreciate rap stay out of the threads
Flow is by far the most important aspect of rapping, as well the most musical. Being able to construct and perform lyrics that are pleasing from a purely sonic understanding using rhythm and the principles of alliteration, assonance, and consonance, so that it flows like wine, is by far the most impressive and difficult aspect of rapping.
That's actually skill at fucking poetry, nigga.
You know when you read something that so wrong you groan irl
if you're only going to talk about literary devices stay out of Cred Forums and go to /lit/
