3 Phenomenal Tips To Freestyle Hip Hop!

By Allen J. Howard

Freestyling is an important part of a cultural trend that is growing rapidly. When you participate in a freestyle battle, you are putting yourself out there and showing everyone what you're made of. When you freestyle hip hop, you are letting your inner poet speak. These 3 tips will help if you freestyle hip hop or wish to learn, so read and enjoy!

1. When you practice, write it down. This is a very important step that many overlook. If you are wanting to learn how to freestyle, this step helps you to compile a nice reference handbook to refer back to later on. It is also a great idea to use a voice recorder to record your practice sessions. Some of the lines you jot down or record can potentially lead to entire songs! What you do is set up a beat, begin rapping what comes to mind, write down (or record), then forget and start rapping more ideas. Rinse and repeat until you begin to notice progress.

2. Observe and report, or more simply said just use your surroundings. Rapping about what is around you can draw a crowd in your favor and make you seem genius, especially if you can tie up some really sick lines. It also reassures that you don't rely solely on your written material. You can also help to structure your freestyle a little easier by using your surroundings to "fill in" for you until your punch comes.

3. Remember that subtle qualities can set you apart from your opponent. Pay attention to your confidence, your enthusiasm, your charisma. Overall, how you appear to your crowd and opponent can make or break your credit and your freestyle. Sometimes simply touching your opponent during an emphasis can make the power behind your words much more meaningful.

The feeling you get when you know you just spit out a fire freestyle is unmatchable. These are just a few tips to get anyone interested a good start to learn freestyling hip hop. - 18423

Who is the Greatest American Rock Band in History?

By Hank Looper

I just came across an article from a few years ago that stated that Americans chose Pearl Jam as the greatest American rock band of all-time in a survey. Don't get me wrong - I really like Eddie Vedder and the rest of the band, but I was shocked to see Pearl Jam as number one!

It might be one thing if they were referring to the best alternative band, or if they polled people 30 years old and younger, asking them who the best American rock band of their lifetimes was. It wasn't that though.

From there, I was determined to make a long list of American bands who were better than Pearl Jam. As I began thinking about it, I realized that everyone I had in mind was a solo artist. I tried coming up with bands that many would agree were better, and they didn't make the cut because of where they came from.

I'm a music lover, but I have to admit that I was wrong here. Every band I thought of either hailed from another country, or simply didn't have the depth of musical hits that Pearl Jam did.

When all is said and done, other contenders were bands like Aerosmith, Van Halen, REM, Journey, the Eagles, and others.

I was truly stumped. Was there really no one better than Pearl Jam when it came to American rock history?

At this point in time, I'm ready to agree with the masses in claiming the fact that Pearl Jam is the greatest American rock band of all-time. I'm surprised to be saying this, but I can't think of anyone better.

Pearl Jam is a breath of fresh air in a music world that's been tainted by corporate interests. They've never broken up, never have had any of the drug issues that so many other bands suffer from, and they're all about pleasing their fans. I tip my hat to Pearl Jam for these very reasons. - 18423
