Battle rhymes are better if they're 100% improv. They're better that way because they can be taylored to be an attack at they guy you're facing.
Not saying it's easy, but stick at it. Snoop honed his skills at his high school where his friend would point to something, anything, and Snoop would rap about it.
If ya got the 8 Mile DVD, there's a section where there are four people who are battling him in scenes that are kinda for fun, might be in the movie. Eminem is supposed to just mime everything because his voice was gone and he couldn't talk well. The first guy went as planned, the second time though, the crowd started booing Em, he said screw it, turned his mic on, and destroyed everyone he faced 100% improv.
But like I said man, keep at it, the only way you improve is by doing it.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
