its never off top. its always premeditated

Yeah man he’s insane. Really gifted rapper

Jus bcus they go all in depth n s*** Dosen't make it sound better. Its actually makes it boring & un listenable. When they could say 1 bar and people jus kno xctly what they mean but stretch it to a full 24 to get called lyrical. Like yk. Lol lamar. Not talkn Odum.

Wayne and Hov don’t really rap off top. Hov writes in his head and Wayne does punch-ins. Iirc Future actually freestyles a bit of his s*** and then they’ll just move around what he recorded.

Meek Mill

That reminded me of this part in a Lupe interview

In your flow, I hear a lot of Mos, I hear a lot of Jay, I hear some Big L…a lot of focus on wordplay. I was listening to one track, “Twilight Zone,” and lyrically I thought it was pretty ridiculous. How did that come about? Did you write that in the studio or on pen and paper and bring it in? How do you write stuff like that?

I was actually running. I was jogging and I came up with the first couple lines, and then I just built it. A lot of stuff, especially on the mixtapes, I’ll build it at the microphone. I’ll have like four or five lines in my head, and then throughout the day just add on. I might write pieces of it down and basically just finish it off at the mic. “Twilight Zone” was one of those records.

My writing process is weird. Sometimes I feel that I can get more intricate and concrete when I sit down and actually write. When I write, it might take me like two, three hours to write a verse. So I’m constantly repeating it, going back over it and changing it, as opposed to when I’m at the mic I might just come up with something in like 10 seconds and lay it, and then go to the next line, and not really go back on it, know what I’m saying? Just kind of leave it rough and unfinished.

Different strokes I guess cause I would much rather have my meanings, similes, metaphors and entendres spoon fed to me

When u catch something new every listen >>>>

Ye cause ghostwriters, hahahahaha

Like 99% of the game doesn’t write anymore

same here, I feel it’s a lot faster that way and you don’t lose the feel of the song. I feel like when you write it down you lose so much creativity cause you’re focusing on one line at a time, instead of really listening to the beat and trying to find the best pocket/ melody

Gucci Mane whole mixtape run

A lot of the songs were him freestyling over an unfinished beat (just the drums usually)

Freddie Gibbs, which is insane to me.

Me too

I heard MF DOOM doesn't write lyrics down he just makes all that flow up

I'm sure Lupe writes his lyrics for songs, but I know he freestyles foreal in radio freestyles.
