  • Hey, what's up! This is Pat Parra and in this video

  • we're going to talk about how you can

  • always have something to rap about a lot

  • of people think they need to study a

  • dictionary they ask do I need to study a

  • dictionary to increase vocabulary how do

  • i increase my vocabulary how do i always

  • have words to say. A lot of people's

  • biggest challenge with freestying is

  • having enough vocabulary not running out

  • of things to say and just not getting

  • stuck and freezing up so I'm gonna give

  • you some tips in this video for how you

  • can always have something to say and how

  • you can open your mind up to vocabulary

  • that you didn't realize you had why

  • people think oh you study dictionary but

  • no starting out do not study a

  • dictionary if you're fluent in English

  • or whatever language you're fluent in

  • you should have plenty of things to say

  • without having to read a bunch of books

  • or study dictionary later on after you

  • can freestyle for like five minutes

  • straight and you've already written like

  • a couple albums then maybe start

  • studying the dictionary you can do some

  • reading but really you don't need it you

  • should be using your own words the words

  • that you use every day and it's okay to

  • learn new words and always be reading

  • and stuff but starting out you do not

  • need that the most important thing you

  • need is to trust that you already have

  • enough vocabulary in you because

  • whatever language you're fluent in that

  • means you know thousands of words and

  • thousands of ways to link these words

  • together you just haven't figured out

  • how to unlock those part to your brain

  • or how to access that while you're

  • freestyling and I'm gonna give you some

  • tips in this video that will help you

  • access all that vocabulary that is

  • already in you so that you can freestyle

  • forever and the way to do this the way

  • to always hustling to freestyle about

  • usually what happens people run out of

  • words to say when they're sticking on

  • one subject so what I recommend doing is

  • writing out a list of 20 subjects on a

  • piece of paper to write out 20 different

  • subjects like talk about dinosaurs talk

  • about traveling to space talk about

  • traveling to Mars talk about swimming

  • underwater talk about your family talk

  • about a girl or a guy that you like talk

  • about romance talk about your favorite

  • movies all these different subjects talk

  • about driving talking about killing

  • people talking about being peaceful talk

  • about protesting talk about the election

  • write down all these subjects and put on

  • a beat and then while you're freestyling

  • just go down each subject you don't have

  • to stay on any one subject for too long

  • it's up to you for how long you want to

  • stay on each subject the main

  • thing is start the top go down each

  • subject and then start at the top again

  • and then go down and just keep on going

  • back and forth and keep on kind of

  • recycling the subjects going back until

  • you have freestyle rap for five minutes

  • because if you can freestyle rap for a

  • minute then you can freestyle rap for

  • five minutes don't worry about messing

  • up don't worry about rhyming every line

  • just make sure to give yourself

  • permission to switch subjects it doesn't

  • even have to make sense just give

  • yourself permission to do that once you

  • can do that without worrying about

  • rhyming without worrying about messing

  • up then you're going to have a really

  • strong foundation for your freestyle

  • muscle you'll be able to freestyle for

  • as long as you want it'll be a lot

  • easier if you to throw rhymes in and

  • freestyling will just feel a lot more

  • natural and you'll realize and you start

  • to develop the confidence that you have

  • all this vocabulary because every time

  • you switch the subject it gives you a

  • new set of words it gives you a new set

  • of vocabulary you know when you're

  • talking about dinosaurs all of a sudden

  • you're using words like brontosaurus and

  • Tyrannosaurus Rex when you're talking

  • about space all of a sudden using words

  • like Mars and stars and the moon and

  • Venus and you start opening yourself to

  • all these different words and vocabulary

  • that you might not have had access to if

  • you were just stuck on one subject we

  • talked about your girl talk about all

  • the girls you have a crush on all the

  • girls you've ever had a crush and

  • there's Gina there's Tracy so you have

  • unlimited words talk about so every time

  • you rap about a different subject it's

  • going to open you up two different words

  • different vocabulary so you always have

  • something to say and then so again after

  • you go through all that subjects you're

  • going to feel pretty good but I would

  • just keep on going through all the

  • subjects until you can just freestyle

  • about all these different subjects for

  • five minutes you could start out rapping

  • about your girls for like a few seconds

  • then switch to the dinosaurs then okay

  • all of a sudden I'm in space and then it

  • might not even make sense but maybe if

  • you record it and you play it back it

  • might start to make sense on a

  • subconscious level and always with

  • freestyling i recommend kind of being as

  • honest as you want you can be playful

  • but really to get the most kind of

  • therapeutic benefits for freestyling i

  • really recommend just kind of being

  • honest saying how you really feel about

  • these things like if you really hate a

  • Tyrannosaurus Rex then just say that I

  • hate that Tyrannosaurus Rex I

  • hate that dinosaur I hate the

  • brontosaurus I kind of like Triceratops

  • they're my homie you're going to get out

  • a lot of energy and it'll help so I hope

  • that helps remember

  • all it is to access more vocabulary it's

  • just changing subjects and allowing

  • yourself to change subjects give

  • yourself permission to go off on all

  • these crazy tangents change subjects a

  • lot and just go crazy because it's

  • poetry it can go anywhere there are no

  • rules give yourself permission and

  • remember don't worry about rhyming don't

  • worry about messing up on starting out

  • just allow yourself to free stuff as

  • long as you want it'll build your strong

  • foundation for your freestyle muscle

  • it'll make it way easier to throw in

  • rhymes later when you want to but first

  • make sure you can freestyle rap out loud

  • for five minutes if you need help leave
