I don't really have a writing process. I don't write at all but, honestly, I feel like it's a modern-day writing because everything is technology and if I go in there and freestyle and I keep it, I feel like I wrote that. If I go in there and fix it, it's almost like something I wrote.

Queen Latifah

I've never been the straight rapper that is going to stand in a cipher and battle all day. I started off battle rapping, but to me, making songs became more important than freestyles... I've met many rappers who can freestyle but can't make a record.

Roshon Fegan

Most people have a blank slate and can start from nothing. But for me, I had to break a bad habit that I've been doing all of my life, which is freestyle hip-hop.

American Actor

J.I.D

I always loved hip-hop, being a black little kid. I always used to freestyle on the bus when I was young. It was always a part of my life.

Unless life is one giant rap battle, you don't need to freestyle your way to success.

Freestyle in swimming means you can choose any swim stroke, offering flexibility in competitions.

Swimming Flexibility

Despite 'any stroke', freestyle races are usually swum using the front crawl because it's fastest.

Dominant Stroke

In medley swimming events, 'freestyle' excludes backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

Not Always Free

Freestyle rap showcases a rapper's creativity and quick thinking with unprepared lyrics.

Creativity Spotlight

Freestyle is common in rap battles where two rappers improvise to outdo each other.

Rap Battles

Freestyle rap is a colloquial term, often used among younger people, especially in urban culture.

Colloquial Usage

In sports like skiing, freestyle allows athletes to express themselves with creative moves.

Sporting Creativity

Freestyle events in sports are less restricted, letting competitors choose their technique or path.

Less Restrictive

Though freestyle suggests freedom, these sports events have specific rules and judging criteria.

Not Always Informal

 Clearly, athletes have gotten more savvy about performance-enhancing drugs as well, and that's made a difference in some sports at some times, but technology has made a difference in all sports, from faster skis to lighter shoes. Take a look at the record for the 100-meter freestyle swim.
