Do you guys write and then find the beat, or find a beat and write to it? I write in advance most of the time, and about 80% of the time, to no beat at all.
Makes it that much easier to track something down later.
Im always writing. ALWAYS. I sit at my pc, do homework, dig thru pornsites, and write to whoever or whatever I can. Mixtape shit, "freestyles", whole songs, throw-away verses, the works. So it makes the song creatin process a lil easier for me. I can dig thru the files and see what fits or I can write from scratch.
If I get a beat that I feel needs immediate attention, I'll probly write from scratch. A lot of niccas like that shit cause I write nice shit in a short period of time. It's also a crutch. But I dont mind writing around a beat either, cause sometimes, you hook up with someone from online and they wanna hear your spices over they meat, so they shoot you bounced down tracks. I work with it.
I had writers block back in '98 and aint had it since.
*FYI, I started rappin in '99.
