- Motherfucker, I am the one that writes old school. Gang Starr, Wu Tang, Sean Price, you telling me they ain't shit?
- I literally studied their work and to this day write by their mantras.
- "Write your shit, expand, use multi syllabics"
- Rap isn't about yelling "nigga" at someone repeatedly like batteries in a jail sock. It's a dance. Playing with syllables means the lyrics are catchy, some of the best hip hop and rap songs don't use catchy beats. They use catchy wordplay.
- //Your rap is no school
- Literally follows music theory but aight.
- //I guess we are "antonyms" nigga
- That doesn't even make sense. The statement "I guess we are 'antonyms'" suggests that you believe we, as humans, are not humans. Instead it suggests that we are words that are opposite in meaning. An antonym is simply a word that means the opposite of another word. What the. Fuck kind of drugs are you on?
- //But anyways lmfao

- Flow is a fundamental element in rap, which has been the subject of study and admiration by artists and fans alike. Often described as the “rhythm and cadence” of a rapper, flow refers to the way words and phrases are combined and delivered in a rap song. It is a key aspect of a rapper’s ability, allowing them to express themselves with creativity and style while maintaining the sense and message of the song. Let me explain the origin and meaning of flow in rap to your bitch ass, and see how some of the most prominent rappers have used this technique to establish themselves as benchmarks of the genre.
- What is flow in rap and why is it important?
- It refers to the way a rapper delivers their lyrics, whether in terms of rhythm, cadence, intonation, or emphasis. Flow is a crucial part of the rapper’s technique, and it is used to hold the listener’s attention and convey the emotion behind the lyrics.
- In general, flow is important in rap for several reasons. Firstly, it helps the rapper shape their unique and distinctive style. Flow is a tool to develop a musical identity and make the rapper stand out in a crowd of artists.
- Secondly, flow is important because it helps establish the rhythm and structure of the song. When a rapper has a solid flow, they can fit into any beat and keep the rhythm with ease, creating a solid base for the lyrics and music in general.
- Furthermore, flow is also important for the transmission of the emotion behind the lyrics. A rapper can use the flow to emphasize certain words or phrases and create a particular sensation in the audience. Flow can also be used to convey the intensity or feeling of the lyrics, helping to connect the listener with the music and the story behind it.
- Flow is a fundamental element in rap, and it has evolved consistently since its origin in the street parties in the Bronx in the 1970s. Flow is the way a rapper fits their rhymes into a song, and it is crucial to conveying the message and emotion of the lyrics.
- In the early days of rap, the flow was focused on an MC’s ability to synchronize their rhymes with the rhythm of the music. Most songs had a simple rhythm, which allowed MCs to focus on delivering their lyrics clearly and effectively.
- As rap became popular, artists began to experiment with different flow patterns to add variety and creativity to their songs. Artists began to play with speed and cadence, creating complex and unique flow patterns that added an additional dimension to the music.
- Over time, flow has become an art form in itself, and some artists have come to be known for their ability to manipulate language and create innovative and exciting flow patterns. Some rappers have even created entire subgenres based on their unique flow style.
- I rap with syllabic flow, the same as B.I.G, Wu Tang, Tribe, Em, Tupac, Rakim, N.W.A: This type of flow is characterized by the intonation of words and the creation of melodies through the voice. You're inspired by non melodic flow. Artists who use this type of flow usually do not emphasize rhymes and often fail to create complex rhythmic patterns. Non melodic flow has become popular in RECENT YEARS thanks to artists like LilXan, LilUziVert, LilPeep. Also known as mumble rappers, the shitstain of thee rap community. That's you Lil crackhead.
- And these are the types of slow I incorporate into my lyrics:
- Fast flow: Fast flow is one of the most challenging types of flow in rap, as it involves rhyming at high speed and with precision. This makes up the bulk of my works. Artists who use this type of flow are usually recognized for their technical skill and their ability to improvise. Among the most prominent exponents of fast flow are Twista, Busta Rhymes, and Tech N9ne.
- Slow flow: Unlike fast flow, slow flow focuses on the precision of words and the creation of a more relaxed and smooth environment. I mainly use this for hooks and choruses, or when breaking things down to stupid opponents like you. This type of flow is often used in more emotional or introspective songs, and has become popular in rap music thanks to artists like J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and A$AP Rocky.
- Aggressive flow: Aggressive flow is characterized by its energetic and confrontational tone. I don't really get that agressive, since I prefer to weave in wordplay and punchlines. I would rather clown a mother fucker than come across irritated, it's funnier to silence the opponent that way and does more damage to their reputation (as an artist nobody but you gives a fuck about a niche platforms reputation score.) Artists who use this type of flow usually rhyme with a strong and emphatic tone, aiming to convey a powerful message. Aggressive flow is common in battle rap and in songs that aim to convey a sense of rebellion and strength. Some of the artists best known for their aggressive flow are Eminem, DMX, and 50 Cent.
- Smooth flow: The smooth flow is a type of flow that is characterized by its relaxed and soft cadence. I use this flow semi often, usually combined with faster flows where my multi syllabic keeps every word providing an even beat. I don't use music, I'm fucking deaf. The tempo itself is provided BY syllables. Get that? Rapping to me is LITERALLY about feeling, you dumb fuck. Anyway, this type of flow is common in love songs or those that aim to create a more romantic and sensual environment. Among the artists who often use this type of flow are Frank Ocean, SZA, and Bryson Tiller.
- These are just some of the types of flow used in rap, and each artist has their own style and technique to create effective flow in their music. The choice of flow type will depend on the message to be conveyed and the personal style of each artist.
