How to Diss? : Lesson 2

 Once you are through with Lesson 1 of How to Diss, simply follow the steps below:

1.Watch online battles you can find them on Young Rapper Spot. They are a good representation of what happens in a freestyle battle.

2.Listen to diss raps by artists on other artists. I reccomend you listen to Girls by Eminem. Here's the link : http://youngrapperspot.blogspot.com/2011/01/eminem-girls-lyrics.html

3.Pay careful attention to artists and try to mirror the techniques they use in a battle. This way you will not only learn more tricks but also enhance on your own methods.

4.Write down some punchlines. There are very few Rappers who can battle with any pre-written lines and the best example is PROOF! Just incase you do not know what to write or how? check this page out : WRlTE

5.Keep practicing. Use any spare time to practice freestyle. Do not stop even when you run out of words, you need to keep the flow going. The more you practice the more stamina you have and the better will be your result. Its kinda like a mental work out.

6.Visualize your opponent. Take a picture of someone you hate or look at your dog and try to visualise that person you want to diss and you will soon come up with smart ways to take down your opponent.

7.When you diss be sure that it is true. You should not consider cooking up stories because the crowd hates liars.

8.Never mind if you lose your initial battles. Each time you are knocked down you stand up even stronger. Dont think you have lost it instead prepare for the next time.

9.Do not get nervous and never ever feel bad when its your opponents turn. Stay focused and be confidence.

10.Include as much as humor you can. Make the audience laugh that's when they like it.

How to Diss? : Lesson 1

 Dissin or battling is the true essence of rap. Dissin, for those who dont know means insulting. The lines rapped in a battle are mostly on the spot and not pre-written or pre-meditated. The key to winning a battle is to go with the beat. If you are totally out of rhythm then you are most likely to lose. Rappers are judged on factors such as lyrics, delivery, sting and crownd response. A rap battle is no childs play, you lose a battle and you lose respect. And the best way to earn fast and hard respect is to win a battle.

  Alright, now that you know the importance of a battle lets get started. The best way to start is to diss yourself. Yes you read it right, you are the best person who can diss you. Why? because you know everything about yourself. Stand in front of the mirror and keep looking into your eyes, stare at yourself for at least two minutes, then you can start dissin yourself. You might find a dozen mouths who say don't ever try dissin yourself, well i don't agree to that. When you diss yourself in front of the mirror you would automatically know your strengths and weaknesses at a personal level. Practice makes a man perfect, so practice! practice! practice! 

Warning: When I say diss yourself it doesn't , mean you need to diss yourself in front of a crowd. Diss yourself only when you are alone and not too much else you shall start hating yourself.
