The art of improvisation, needs to be used more often.
I'm sure alot of people wouldn't believe me when I say freestyling taught me how to hold a conversation, and i'm talking about more than just talking to girls...how about going into job interviews?
Because you have to realize, I grew up a very shy and internal kid, I wasn't very outspoken, always labeled quiet...in fact, I was nominated for being the most quiet person in high school (I didn't win though). So when I say that sometimes I forget how to talk, I'm telling the truth. My thoughts are always there, but talking is completely different, and I'd end up talking........
.....like
....um......you know...........really kind of slow.
And never getting to the point.
Freestyling was a tool to help purge these words, and create a natural rhythm in my speech. It's sort of like running with ankle weights, and then you take the ankle weights off, and you run alot easier, freestyling is my ankle weight for speech.
I can't shake my love for improvisation...I think i've actually become a bit obsessed with it to the point where I procrastinate because I want the pressure for a freestyle. Shouts to Marsh, Owen and Bass...what do we do when we get drunk? Beatbox and freestyle...that's pretty much it (and suprisingly they actually still sound good when we're sober listening to the recording).
So it would be cool if i could incorporate a freestyle in the album somehow...i know Pit did that on his, and it worked pretty well in my opinion...until then I will continue to freestyle daily with D-I-C-E ... cuz you never know what you gon get when you roll with 'em!!!
