Emcee Battles: Freestyle(Off the top) vs. Written Does it matter really?
This is always a debate. A lot of so-called “purists” say that when you battle you should strictly freestyle everytime, while others believe that writtens are acceptable. The whole object of a battles whether it be Hip-Hop or wars of nations is to win, coming with a plan and improvising is needed to adapt to the situation at hand. Smack DVD/ Fight Klub battles you know who you’re battling ahead of time and it’s always for money. So writing a rap is coming with a strategy.But nothing is ever relevant in the moment. In freestyle battles you never know who you’re battling until they call the name, so you have to improvise and flip the other’s punchline. All in all, I think an emcee should go with their greatest strengths. Those that are good writers should battle on Fight Klub, those that freestyle should battle at Scribble Jam. Either way a well rounded emcee can do both. But one shouldn’t be scolded for using writtens if it’s relevant to the opponent. A dope rhyme is a dope rhyme IMO.
I think that’s it’s a matter of knowing what words rhyme with what. If you do, you can fill in the pre-rhyme word lines with things relevant to that moment. I don’t like the notion of “pre-meditated” rhymes, because you can’t suspend your thoughts.
Any competitor has to train, but being an MC requires you to really be a master of ceremony. You need to have the ability to capture the crowd. The crowd responds to punch lines and delivery. If a competitor tries to kick writtens, the MC has to stay a step ahead. It isn’t a cypher where people get an equal chance to rhyme, it’s a competition where people are trying to be won over.
In the end, a crowd doesn’t really care. They just want to be entertained. They’ll be tested at another time.
