Course Description

In this course you will develop the skill set to freestyle rap in various styles without running out of bars, even if you have never rapped before. This is a bold promise, but like anything else, freestyle rhyming can be broken down into a few simple steps. I will explain the three components to rapping, then we will talk more about freestyle-specific skills.

1. Rhythm: You will learn to catch any beat by tapping out the quarter notes, then create a simple percussion rhythm which you will then put words to.
2. Lyrics: We will talk about polysyllabic rhyming, associations, building topics to fall back on, and wordage (word choice).
3. Delivery: In this lesson you will play around with your voice to see what it can do, and take a good look at how to hone your flow.
After we cover the three fundamentals of freestyle rap, I will help you to develop multiple flows and improve your delivery, teach you tricks to come up with rhymes and always have subjects to rhyme about in cyphers.

We will cover: Cypher Etiquette, how to Never Run Out of Bars, Tools to Get Going, Finding Beats, Switching Flows, Entering a Flow State, and more.
Relax, get into the vibe, and come with me on this journey through the components of freestyle rap.

I love to learn and teach. I am a free-spirited creator and artist in many disciplines. My courses focus on selling art online, energy work, and music. I teach what would help a younger me, including the strategies I used to sell over 19,000 copies of my artwork without advertising, energy techniques I have learned to unlock human potential, and tips to help musicians.

My Life
I grew up near Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, and I am currently traveling South America thanks to selling art and teaching online. I plan to keep traveling, creating, and learning from this amazing planet as long as I live!
My purpose on Earth is love. Love is the greatest teacher, healer, and creator. I believe when the individual chooses to love all unconditionally, that feeling lights up the whole world instantly. That is the world I want to live in, so I choose to. I hope to inspire others to find this vibration in their own way.

My Projects
I created Current X Change, a company that makes apps that allow creators to share their creations on a global map for all to see and vote on. You can try out our first web app, cXc Music, at https://music.cxc.world and learn more about our vision at currentxchange[.]com.

I also started Aquarius Academy (http://aquarius.academy). Our mission it is to help evolve planetary consciousness with love. We distill spiritual content

I am learning so much that i don't even know how to express it which is ironic because this is a lot about expressing yourself without letting other shit get tangled in your flow.
Finished the class and i cant wait to try what i've learned.
Thank you Sir Douglas! Loved this class, and i'm looking forward to the next one. See you soon

Great!

the course is quite interesting, personally I would not say that I learned to be a freestyle machine. but I recommend it a lot because the instructor encouraged me to practice and now I'm not ashamed to do freestyle.

By Marcin Kossowski on 10/15/2017

I love the simplicity of such a complex topic. You must really know what you're talking about if you can explain it with such ease to someone who never spat a line. Oh, and you're energy lifts this course!

halfway through the course and i have to say,valuable-valuable information,espacially the lyrics part,i mean the guy literaly gave info about how a lyric is done whether for a freestyle or a song.and the exercises were good to.though,im new to this subject,but i learned a lot.thanks man.
and an advice: that lyrics structure can be done into a pdf attached inside the course,i was writting it down but would have been easier in case of a pdf.thanks! cheers
