Where Most People Mess Up In Freestyle Rap
Now before we get into the steps, it’s important to explain where most people mess up in freestyle.

This is probably the most common reason people never get good at going off the top of the dome.

And what’s that mistake most rappers make when trying to learn how to freestyle rap confidently?

They mess up by continuously stopping and starting.

They’ll get one or two “bars” in and then suddenly just go mute.

As Denzel Washington would say, “Anything you practice, you’ll get good at”

So if you practice stopping and starting… you’ll only get good at stopping and starting.

The Easy Way To Solve The “Start-Stop” Problem
The easiest and most direct way is to START the minute the beat drops, and do not stop until the beat ends.

Essentially, by not immediately rushing into your verse the second the beat drops, you are coming in at the wrong time.

You’re actually TRAINING your brain to go blank… no wonder it’s so difficult to get those bars up off the top more consistently.

It’s almost like they are nervous that they’re going to immediately embarrass themselves, as so they’re trying to buy time.

There are two problems with this:

A. They’re Not Fooling Anybody
First of all, most people, even if they’re straight up nerds, have heard someone try to freestyle poorly at some point in their life.

They know the clear cut signs of what “buying time” looks like.

But when beginner rappers are buying time in the beginning by just ad-libbing, “yeah, yeah… yo”… it looks incompetent and they’re not fooling anybody.

B. Brain Automatically Shuts Down
When new freestylers do this, their brain is only going to shut down MORE, because as we said in the beginning…

Anything you practice you’ll get good at… and a new rapper is PRACTICING with their brain… to shut down before they even start.

If you just wait for the beat to turnaround or hit a chorus… you often lose your entire audience before they have a chance to catch your vibe.

The most professional freestylers know that they have to start immediately to catch the crowd and gain fans on the spot.

Freestyle Rap Confidence Secrets
There are several ways that nearly 10 years of freestyle rap coaching, we’ve helped rappers improve their ability to learn how to freestyle rap confidently, and we’d like to share them with you now.

One of the main ways to grab the crowd’s attention is by only rapping about things that are relevant to THEM in a freestyle rap.

As opposed to recorded or pre-written music, people hearing a freestyle in person are more impressed if you can weave in something around you or something relating to them…

…Than just telling your whole life story.

This is kind of counter-intuitive.

Whereas in written music, you have a lot more free space to “challenge” your audience with topics and ideas that they may not necessarily be thinking about… or even CARE about…

With freestyle rap, it’s a more interactive, live-action kind of rap as an artform.

So, people are expecting interactive subject matter and lyrical engagement from the artist.

What’s the best way to do this? Following these 3 steps as promised:

Step #1 Do A “Location-Based” Freestyle Rap
A location-based freestyle rap is one where the freestyle rapper describes either:

The Location They’re Rapping In
The City / State They’re From
Let’s break down each one.

The Location They’re Rapping In
If you’re at a house party during the freestyle rap, you can make sure to reference who’s house it is, what the vibe is like, things like that.

Anything that is relevant to that current location will impress the audience that you’re going off of the top about something they know very well…

WHERE THEY’RE AT!
