  • Thought it might be a cool thread idea to discuss any rituals or practices before recording yall might have.

    I usually freestyle or punch in so i need to have my thoughts moving very fluid, depends on the day some days i jus dont record if im not feeling it, but when i do i usually get high and or drunk first to make the thoughts more like otherworldy if that makes sense

    Besides that i jus try to set the mood, turn the lights off except my led light which i can set to any color, usually purple red or blue, sometimes green. Maybe go for a ride before recording listen to some beats in the whip

    i only ever sit down to write when im in the mood fr fr because i know its not as genuine otherwise

    i like to take my time with the writing but always prioritize flow so i start off mumbling trying to catch cadences then find words for it, as im writing each next line i rap everything ive already written down out each time and try to pick up where i left off each time. i could save time by just going bar for bar or even every 4 bars but idk i like it better this way

    usually i already have in mind what i wanna talk about roughly and or something is bothering me laying heavy on me

    i try to stick to the topic usually but not always either, esp considering im not working on a project or anything

    as far as recording i sometimes dont do it till days after, since my intent usually isnt to release immediately or anything more times than not im content on just having it written out and having a voice note of it and only record when i wanna show somebody or im highly motivated

    Dope, yea i forgot to say i also jave a rewrite phase where i take the freestyle and write everything down/improve the bars, the freestyle mainly for finding flow/melody
