Freestyle rap is an improvisational form of rapping, performed with few or no previously composed lyrics, which is said to reflect a direct mapping of the mental state and performing situation of the artist. It is non-scripted, non-rehearsed, uncut, and the rawest form of hip-hop.
Freestyle rapping forces an individual to think on the spot, describe their surroundings, and, to a certain degree, rap uncensored from what is inside. It is similar in this sense to improvisational music or acting and draws comparisons to improvisational jazz in particular.

Yep, dudes!
Freestyle is the true mastery of hiphop. It is the origin of all rap - the ability to transform thoughts into rhymes. Probably the most important skill of an MC. To make a long story short: I just don’t get it.

But the rest of my crew does.
Like Ease, who laid down his great 3 1/2 minutes “Freestyle 2008″ over a beat by German rapper Sido in only one take:

Freestyle 2008 (139)

Or like FreshMint and Mustermann (and some of their homies of The Amplitudes) with their fabulous jam session “Wenn ich aus der U-Bahn komm… “:

And last but not least: Sliver, freestyle champion of hearts, whose performances at several freestyle battles are to be subject of a posting of their own. Later on this platform.

Until then - So long, Cheerio & Bye bye
Yours,
Evel Knevel
