Anyone who rhymes "well" and "hell" is probably a shitty rapper...

but delivery is what makes rap good rap anyway... it's not a lot of "monkey" business -- it takes a lot of skill and knowledge... you need a very creative mind -- powers of free association -- flow -- rhythm -- conceptual coherency -- ambience -- and the best rappers have read a lot of books and have a lot of vocabulary and imagery at there disposal -- not to mention you need "style" and the ever elusive "flavor" *laugh*... but seriously most "white" guys can't rap because to rap well you need to be in the practice of bending sounds of words -- to form them to suit your needs -- good rappers practice inventive language -- and twisting of words in innovative ways.

Most skilled rappers freestyle their best rhymes -- "off the dome" -- ie: sans the editing process that can kill the spirit of a good rhyme -- some guys can rhyme shit off the top of their head that would blow you away... One of my best friends is very talented -- and to see him get on stage -- and just give the band a few notes -- he could come up with a freestyle rhyme -- create a mood -- pull in the atmosphere of the club -- make connections in the rhyme to what he saw before him... That is not easy shit to do... not easy to do -- he could make a crowd silent -- he could make people cry -- girls would be all over this guy. Most of the shit you hear on the radio -- well I can agree it's crap. There is good rap out there though -- you have to find it.

Here's a my mathematic rapper rhyme that I came up in a drunken frenzy on ICQ one night... It's meant to be funny. I have a demented sense of humor -- what can I say...

"i don't think you know
that my reciprocols
are deeper than your intestines
ay teach ya lessons
before the test 's done kid...
i'm the mathematic rappa'
i'll make ya' now-n-lata' thoughts
candy fow ya 3d chawts
i see 3d frequencies in sound
my calculations compound
the highest minds
solve my theorems
my sublime solutions are serums
potent elixirs
dat trix the best computers
future approximations o' pie
a' nay close to my fractions
don't be distractin'
from my classroom raps
the taps on the Casio
go deep into the logic circuits
i type binary in terse nervous fits
transformation sensation is my
disease
pocket protector please
I got pushbutton .007 pencils up my sleeve"

hehe
