“	"1) Have a lot of mouth, talk big and you'll start to believe in yourself and so will other people. 2) Listen to a lot of different rappers, for battling you might wanna listen to Saigon, Jin, Llyod Banks, Cassidy, 2pac, the Game and Mobb Deep especially Prodigy. For tricky wordplay JR.Writer aand Papoose. 3) Use an array of words that you probably wouldnt use normally when your chatting to your mates, this improves knowledge of words and vocabulary. Dont use same words to much like Delight, thats what kills his rhymes. Dont go for the easy rhymes 4) Use metaphors and similies to really make people think. Not too much or you can be just viewed as a joker. Multi's are good but are better when they all connect with the point your making. 5) Anytime your out just keep rhyming different things you see, take note of words and names you havent heard before. Peace Out"	”

Halo

Thanx for that IdE-iLL some good tips any more input would be much oblidged.

Halo

I'm going to add a few more things.

Very vital thing's when battling

Practice : practice, practice ,practice then practice some more listen ,read and write all the time if you want to be really skilled in mc battling ,natural talent helps as well smokes named some artists above.

Consistency: You have to be consistent in everything Practice, battling, dropping bars the more you put in the bigger you receive.

Confidence/ego: the battle doesn't begin when the person your facing and you start dropping bars it's about before and after the battle as well if your confident in your words then people will believe what you say which works with the spectators and also helps to lower the confidence/ego of your opponent it also helps you think better in battle because you feel like a winner. Being confident after a battle make's the voters feel like going with you especially if there aren't really sure who the winner is. Another thing DON’T GIVE UP!! People will criticise and make fun of you just ignore it and go strong ,haters are all a part of it.

Direct attacks: you need to be directing your bars at your opponent allot make sure you exploit any weaknesses, their name, their character etc but avoid becoming too direct.

Flow : make your rhymes easy on the eye’s good grammar words the actually rhymes keep a good flow throughout each drop good wording is essential in order to have a good flow ( I don’t know much about flow if some one could elaborate that would be great )

Another important thing be unique with your battling structure ,choice of words, wordplay, punch lines etc one of the most important things DON’T BE A PLAGERIST

FLOW: This is a vital tool I used to improve my ability...jus write what your thinking down..then say it out (even whisper or mouth it if your shy) and see what it sounds like, then edit it to sound nicer and to mix well with your next line...

This is all Im givin away...Eminem amd Jay Z gave away their methods..now half the fukkin MCs in the world do it like they do!!! Be as original as possible..and if a bar makes people laugh (for you and not at you) than it boosts your chances of winning BIG time.

just keep ritin and spittin battle bare manz and u'll get betta, dnt think ur $$$$ if u bin spittin for like 5 munths ppl progress at difrent rates

Halo

Practice makes perfect ? nope only GOOD practice makes perfect if your going to be writing rhymes all the time you still need to be learning and listening and learning from your learning and listening.The only way you won't imrpove is if your extremley stupid or just not practicing right you can tell who these people are becuase the make very little improvement in a long space of time. if your not sure about anything feel free to ask me or any of the more experience people on the forum.

I agree with that. To me its also about speed in quick retaliation. Also its about observational skills. What i dont like is mums and guns type battleing i hate that, but thats just my opinion.
