you know my one of my favorite songs I got you though what do you say I'm cancerous so when I did she wouldn't want to answer this if you responded back with a battle rapper wrote for cannabis I strike you would definitely not choke you again and break your legs see your bones poke through your skin but I don't get pissed I don't even see through the mess how the could I be white I don't even exist that killed that boy just being such a sponge as a kid and just absorbing all like the music I would listen to Just cramming my head with it not really giving a about school or homework really anything else besides music you know like just that's all I cared about so it was kind of easy to remember all that that was like you know my only focus in this clip from juice world's appearance on Mont reality we see one of the cornerstones that made him an unlikely Titan among the ranks of freestyle rappers step number one always be obsessed with the skill although he's perhaps best known as one of the leading lights of hip-hop's melodic wave the late Chicago one rapper lesser known as Gerard Anthony Higgins was formidably talented when it came to Simply crafting syllables and bars off the top of his head and as to how he got that way it's clear that at the core of this propensity for Rapid Fire internal penmanship was that he was absolutely besotted with the art of freestyling and what that creative experience entailed so like juice you too should allow yourself to be obsessed with it as much as he was although he arrived in an era where the ability to place faith in your natural creativity and conjure up rhymes from what feels like thin air wasn't a priority Juice's decision to constantly Advance his adeptness in this area was ultimately one of the most versatile tools at his disposal that bled both into his recorded output and the endless videos of him spitting for hours that can be found across YouTube A Love Affair which legitimized him to the supposed old heads that it built up a tendency to scornfully Overlook anyone whose approach to rap veered towards the melodic side to watch him freestyle was to watch him solving equations in real time finding his pocket and locking in on a rhyme scheme while always thinking ahead to the next adjoining bars or a logical point to Pivot to another flow and quite simply this wouldn't be possible without the degree of immersion that he permitted for himself after all juice began to spit bars while his mental faculties were still developing and as such it carved a pathway into his brain it's been a something that's been in my life though my whole life and I think I started like freestyling when I was really young I think maybe about second or third grade did you start freestyling or you start or just getting like really enjoying music I've been enjoying music for forever no one's suggesting that you find a time machine or that you lead with the same impenetrable single-mindedness as him but but that doesn't change the fact that if you wish to have the skills to demolish any beat that's put in front of you at a moment's notice then it has to become an everyday consideration that encroaches in moments beyond the freestyle Arena itself if you'd like to be able to practice freestyle daily at the level of a juice world with drills guided trainings and even beats to practice on click the link in the video description to take part in our two-week course freestyle fortnite where you'll be able to master the art of freestyle rap in two weeks or less and begin rhyming like juice world because freestyling ability isn't god-given it has to be nurtured and Juice did that to the extent that it became as simple as breathing and that brings us directly into the next teaching in the book of juice World step number two don't overthink the freestyle well my music is like I don't overthink it music is really just people love to hear something that came out that's good that's natural rule that doesn't sound forced it sounds authentic people love that so even it certain breaths and little sounds that people make in between the words that they say make the song get hit just like the Cadence of the way that they breathe it and the way they mouth is like moving even though you can fix your mouth to talking like a different voice and it's just I just let What flows out of me flows so if it's something that sounds like it needs to be spazzed or not as fast but like I don't I try not to overthink it you're never right right never you just go in there and go crazy it's like a completely different art form it's like a different it's like boxing versus UFC no it's like freehand versus tracing but you don't think that but you don't think that you could end up with something better if you sometimes wrote some stuff no no I could write sometimes when I'm really down I could write raw that's different not regular on a regular basis I'm not gonna pick up my phone and start typing or pick up a notepad and start scribbling I'm gonna go in there and freehand for juice the process of refining is Rhymes in the traditional sense simply didn't hold weight instead what he is termed as his freehand approach allows for his brain to operate in a tangential way as a result he opened himself up to the entire spectrum of possibilities without pressuring himself after all Jews didn't even necessarily realize that lucid dreams the very track that made him into his Superstar amounted to anything more than just another song but once again this sense of creatively beneficial Freedom isn't something that'll simply emerge overnight in order to be able to renounce that tendency to overanalyze the brain has to be callous to letting creativity flow in freestyling that organic feel is pivotal and requires a degree of trust in yourself so much like juice espoused in an interview it might be handy to cultivate a healthy sense of self-esteem and self-image which will help you trust in yourself some artists not only have good music but good personalities as well I don't want to brag about myself but people have told me that my personality matches my music as in it has quality as in it's genuine and real he told enemy with me people don't have to separate the art from the artist by believing in his own likelihood to succeed in any given situation pertaining to rhyming Jews performed in a way that was not only hugely impressive but uninhibited and when it comes to how he made himself into a Beacon of Hope for those that felt the art had been lost this would have been an impossibility if he entered the game with any degree of residence about his approach so next up we have another key component that made jerus who he was and that is Step number three his ability to suppress fear of failure or judgment huh freestyle yeah [Music] hey hold on wait hold on wait hold on I'm on Beast like Dr Dre I get money every day if I locked up that's okay boy I bet I beat the case I ball out like fade away I'm gonna cut like razor blade it's a drill if you with my money you feel like major pain willing to spit at the drop of a hat sometimes for upwards of an hour on radio shows this video demonstrates juices innate belief in his abilities and above all else his distinct lack of concern with failing in any Walk of Life that self-preserving concern over being made to look foolish is perhaps the number one barrier to take in the leap into finding the success you deserve and that's no different with freestyling let's not forget juice was so content with what he was delivering and his ability to recover that a moment where he floundered remained on his album unedited on feeling from Death Race For Love boy it ain't no eye in team but it's an men team I mean it's a mean team I know I just up but I'm still the freestyle King while this may be seen as a cardinal sin by some this rawness and willingness to momentarily falter is part of what made listening to Jews so engaging and it's something that you in your own way would do well to uncover and embrace as when you put in the time and don't put too much of an emphasis on perfectionism you can even endure an interruption and immediately hop back in the pocket able to Parlay what's going on in his surroundings into his bars what juice is saying might not be the most elaborate bar work you've ever heard but it's inherently thrilling to hear as is often the case juice was acutely aware that sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it I could do what I want with a song If I had a good idea like a good mindset I could make like lit music you know what I'm saying even if I'm talking about something that's completely random it's the energy that the song has that'll make it a good song how do you think people get on the radio with saying one word for two minutes the idea is likely Blasphemous to some but minimum has had its place since the outset of the genre as such even if you're intent on delivering verbal virtuosity with an incredibly diverse array of obscure phrases where you're aiming to keep it simplistic Juice's lesson here is you can't underestimate delivery nor energy as sometimes when juice is even using his stock phrases during the freestyle it could ring with more efficacy than the most exterious wordplay at the end of the day it all just depends on what the tracker movement requires thus you must be malleable and above all prepared but on that same token it shouldn't always be treated with the utmost severity as don't lose sight of the fact that when you first started rhyming it wasn't for a claim but for the love of doing so you need to safeguard that love and share yourself with the world on your time and how did you know you had turned the corner from people paying a lot of attention to you from SoundCloud I didn't just gonna hit me it's like I just I don't I ain't never really paid for like pay for publicity I ain't never all I used to do is Drop Music and repost it on my Twitter did you feel like at one point juice that you were dropping music like did you know people were paying attention or were you just dropping music like I'm just gonna flood I was just dropping music when I felt there was time was that a hard adjustment going from the Liberties of posting whenever you want put your own timeline to that now being in the industry and people demanding things from you I mean at the end of the day I still got I could post whatever on Soundcloud you know what I'm saying I could post whatever so in every possible way juice was indebted to music as it was his path and passion in life so for him even as the millions rolled in the business was always secondary never a vocational necessity nor a chore to undertake but the thing that kept him ticking juice was perpetually stockpiling music with some estimates suggesting that there remains an incredible amount of unheard juice World tracks still lingering in the archives I have so much music that I don't need to bring something back old he informed Forbes in 2019 I probably have over a thousand songs that's my release and the songs Just pile up I'm recording every day making like five to ten songs a day mostly simply put juices ravenous appetite for creating is something that every freestyle rapper should seek to emulate not to mention his hellacious work ethic this is the man who famously did Death Race For Love in 72 hours and laid down its second single hear me calling after he'd ran through every other beats that perps of 808 Mafia had provided for him the day we worked on him and calling I think we did like at least three tracks prior to that it was probably like four in the morning we're super tired we're just like okay we're gonna knock out one more playing the beat and he's like oh damn what's that I'm like oh I didn't really want to play that beat and he's like hold on hold on put it loads it up kid knocked it out in like 40 minutes freestyle the whole thing the record was done scene is an outlet for what was occurring within him juice would simply grab a beat turn the mic on and go not only keeping a sharpness intact but creating Beauty along the way rhyming was embedded into his everyday processes and resided at the Forefront of his heart as such this meant that when that red light went on and a producer looked at him expectedly he wasn't straining but slipping into a familiar pattern of thinking and if you can prioritize the construction of bars and reason for being in much the same way juice world did there's no reason why you can't become just as revered as he was in that respect now I want to see you in the comments which is the best off the top freestyle you've heard from juice World on YouTube or somewhere else and of course if you're a rapper yourself watching that be sure to check out our Master the art of freestyle in two weeks or less course in the video description I've been your host
