Battle rhymes don't necessarily have to be improv to be better but it is more impressive to be able to freestyle off the top. But battle rhymes don't necessarily have to be directed at any one person imparticular. Like Canibus or Chino XL for example. Me I used to be all about em but battle lyrics tire after a while and I look to write something with depth. Heres an example of what I'm talkin bout
Quote:
Yo
Somewhere off in the grips of space there exists a place encased in hate and love at a simultaneous state//and hope reverberates upon the wings of grace to the eyes and ears of children raped or mentally scared and hurt in different ways to wipe their tears and help them think of better days//Where the cool air can hit your face and life is looked upon a different gaze with the coming age you realize that somethings changed and some things change//Nothings the same and no thing's the same except for reminiscent thoughts at play soon there comes a day when you will reminisce your thoughts away//But not before the phaze you fight the haze away in righteous ways an evermoving crazed iconoclast enraged by all the worlds hypocracy(ay)//And a childs eyes can bleed the truth so honestly but yet they're awefully condemned to what is wrong today so much it's hard to find a way for the world to raise them harmlessly especially when parents neglect to bring them up responsibly//Confused asking "What is wrong with me?" nothing is wrong with thee you've just been wrongfully informed of what is honorably//Think remarkably a fetus should never be brought up to think defeatus instead of realizing the uniqueness that is bestoyed upon in each us, "I and I" yo, we all are equals//To each his is what they teach us but in this world full a teachers no one is learning how will they reach us? Needless the question is asked and all are speechless too many questions not enough answers e’ll turn to reefer or to Jesus//Either way you’ll question either way when certainty became a slave of vague and certain days ya caught between the rage and bitter cold disconsolate//Got ta concentrate says “Whats his face” and all ya left to face is to embrace what is ya destined fate//And when the words of hate e’ll make ya soul a feel of desolate ya never break and hold it as a test a strength//And though it hurts so whats in the dust goes, and dies slow yo so just know what lives in dirt grows, throughout the bitter colds, stronger than that of which hurts most//Too often too eager to suffer the meager to the reaper cause we either too jaded or blinded to know we’re weaker cause bashin rather than understandin seems easier than acknowledgin that we’re feebler//A blatant disregard for others the sons a bitches we curse brothers more often the sons a lovin n carin mothers//And thus the just suffer just cause a the way that the fucks cover our motha earth in a hearse of perverse blunder//Damn son it's not a wonder...
Yo in all a lifes lessons manifestin whether blessin or depression
WE GOT QUESTIONS...
Mind stressin on the suffers of ya brethren only recollection is Indeed
WE GOT QUESTIONS...
Why me? Why she? Why we? Best believe it seems WE GOT QUESTIONS
But wheres the answers?...Hey yo I said wheres the answers?

Those are some of my own. Kinda on some Def Poetry type shit. I wanted to write and I wanted it to be deep and thats what came out. Not finished yet still needs another verse. That ones leanin to more towards the bit of abstract style of hip-hop ya see in cats like Sage Francis and Aesop Rock. Although not nearly as abstract as them.
Well now about IC3's rhymes...well ya know what I think of them already. I'm a pretty nifty freestyler myself and I'll tell ya this....It can't be taught but basically after you've been writing a while freestyling comes very easy. Not because you're spitting writtens but because after writing for years you already know what words rhyme without even having to think about it it just comes instinctively. It comes with practice and you'll never get good at it unless ya try it. Cause you can't always spit writtens cause unless you have one of those gifted type of natural flows, not every rhyme you write will be on beat with just any instrumental.
Asta!!
