some rappers just go in the booth and rap off top for most or all of their work

lil wayne

juice wrld

jay-z? not sure what he did/didnt freestyle

conway? thought i heard them mention this before

who else does this

Young Thug

Most rappers don’t anymore

Uzi

most rappers

instead of writing a line down, they'll just record it into their phone or straight to the mic.

I do this for my own music. I freestyle 2-4 bars at a time and record as I go and build the song like that.

Troy Ave

Charles Hamilton

Thug

cuz someone else writing em instead

I know Ab Soul didn’t write anything down when recording These Days

Jay Z said he doesn’t freestyle it as much as listen to the beat for a few minutes and decide what he’s saying. Forgot which interview it was but someone compared him to rain man pacing in the studio rubbing his temples like rain man for a few minutes then doing his verse

The rhymes have the capacity to be more intricate if you write them down.

The schemes and all that. Writing > Punch-In

Travis claims he's started to not write anything down, which could mean either he actually does, or it means he's getting his s*** done for him.

thats wild if true

insane talent

Robb Bank$

Conway

I mean u can just look at the credits on his albums and clearly see that his songs are written for him lol

do we include guys like drake, dr. dre, diddy, travis and cardi or nah

I don't write my own raps, I think 'em
that means I forgot better s*** than you ever thought of

i think... papoose, horseshoe gang(crooked i’s brothers)

i do believe it when watching this.. dude just has crazy bars flowing through his brain all day
