In present day hip-hop, the term "freestyle" is thrown around all too freely. A freestyle is supposed to be what you see above, an impromptu and spontaneous rap that is crafted on the spot. Unfortunately, the word has come to represent any song that lacks a chorus, even if every line is pre-written.
So . . .
Dear rappers, you can't call your songs freestyles, just because you can't write a hook. If you can't freestyle, don't worry, you can still be a dope rapper. BUT stop acting like you're conjuring up crazy metaphors out of your ass. k? thanks. Crusade over.
UPDATE:
FAB's brother was just arrested for attempted murder and his mother was diagnosed with cancer. This would be his brother's 3rd strike and is his mother's second bout with cancer. Please send positive energy and support his way.
