Pharoahe Monch said once that he likes to start his verse with something outlandish, maybe unpleasant or shocking, not neccesarily connected to the topic of the song only to capture the listener's attention. Like, WTF DID THIS GUY SAY!!?? When I heard him saying "Smack a n in his mouth, stab his mother in the eyeball" I knew that this is Monch exercising his writing rule
Appreciate all the great tips! have definitely employed a few of them before. Last one definitely really being on the money. Recently I've been working on various exercises and one that I try to do everyday is the kinda like freestyling but in writing form, so basically a brain dump, don't give myself time to stop and think, just write (and usually put a time limit like 5-10min). After freestyling a little bit, I've found that there is usually enough time in the process of writing to always come up with at least a rhyme (even if it doesn't make sense 😂). Actually been meaning to get Freestyle Fortnight, been looking for as much help and as many exercises as possible to help with my off-the-dome
