The best freestyle MC in the world will never beat a good songwriter.
After all, if you were to make your 10 best comperes, I'm sure all of them would have various songs that you get it on and enjoy. There's a timeless view to songwriting; everything you've ever written and recorded is really a shot at immortality. You may know that Supernatural is the best freestyle MC in the world, but can you name a only song that he's ever published? One of the greatest freestyle comperes of all time, Juice, went so far as to say that recording is your but real shot at becoming a legend.
Increase your songwriting power with the coming three steps:
1. Concentrate on effective brainstorming. The rhyming lexicon and thesaurus are your champion. Pick a topic, then practice a thesaurus to generate similar words to use in your songs. At One Time you generated those words, look them up in a rhyming dictionary to find other words that verse with them. Very rapidly you'll be able to develop an entire page full of songwriting personal.
2. Change your rhyming patterns often. Rakim is probably the best example of this; when your flow figure varieties, it powers the attender to pay more attention to what you're reading. The more attention they're paying you, the more likely they are to hear some of your best lines; and that's what it's all about, right?
3. Use as many different song formats as feasible. No matter how dope you may be at one particular style, you have to keep the hearers attention by writing different styles of songs. Try to balance your battle tracks with more socially aware jams. Mix dance songs with storytelling. If all your songs follow a bare 16 bar3 verse space format, you'll lose the crowd.
Best of luck!
