Most rappers are nothing but hip hop freestyle and poetry artist with a hot beat playing in the background. Now in my opinion none of them could hold a candle to the best that ever did it which was Tupac Shakur. They are gifted writers though and rapping is the same as spitting poetry.
Freestyle is a little diffrent because you have to come right off the dome. A composition notepad is not needed to run like this. If you are not naturally gifted you better stay completely away from freestyle raps.
