A Piece of Me:This is my take on rap: If you can’t freestyle you are simply just a writer who wishes he could rap. In the day and time of standing up for yours or better yet keepin’ it real, how can you call yourself a rapper hiding behind a pen and paper? Sounds like a writer to me. I hope that in the near future we can get back to the freestyle battles that weeded out writers and weak ass MC’s. We have rappers and writers in the 12:50 clique. Try us if you think you are skilled enough.
