why are you even arguing then? is that not what we both have said? "the writing is easier, but not necessarily better." you huffed and puffed just to turn around and say "it's easier not better" which is what I (and to my recollection, the original poster) have said.

You just said freestyling holds no relevance to anything said prior or after... Don't try to say that's ALL that you said. Fuck outta here.

It is far from irrelevant. Both --off the top freestyling and writing-- influence each other. You can't become a good freestyler (off the top freestyler) if you haven't written a lot in your life. The more rhymes you write, the bigger your ''rhyme database'' in your head, thus the faster you'll able to string words together on the spot.

It works vice versa, too. The more you freestyle, the more you flex that ''rhyme database'' in your head, which makes it easier for you to write. Rhyming becomes more natural, expressing yourself in a written becomes easier, most freestylers acquire this tendency to find words that rhyme in day-to-day life.

Words, that are relevant in a context, that rhyme come up way faster than ever before, how is that not relevant to writing?

FreeSpeech, you are one of the most smart people here. It´s visible that you think about things a lot, so the posts are not stupid.

I agree with you in this case too.

I'm sure that the opinion of a person who cannot seem to use an adverb--which is coincidently describing the intelligence of said individual--in the correct context certainly matters to the community as a whole.

You people missed the point. Clearly from the "Lose Yourself" & Rolling Papers examples, he is attacking people who freestyle album material not freestylers in general, and he makes a solid point at that. I can't see why people will brag about not writing their lyrics if writing would have made the lyrics better. What's so dope about choosing inferior shit? Another rapper who seems to freestyle on his albums is Weezy and we all know where albums like Carter 3 stand lyrically.
