Yeah, I got a question, it might be strange... How to discover what is my own style? I still got a problem with it. I got two, COMPLETLY DIFFERENT tones of voice when I rap, hardcore mad low tone, somethin between Method Man and Ice T and smooth laid-back tone, somethin like Snoop or Warren G. Problem is when I staring to spit I always catching myself that I rappin with styles of other rappers. Flow, voice tone and shit sounds like their own.....
you're on the right path. as you keep going with it you will develop your own style through theirs. that's what Em did when he was spitting like Nas and then he dropped SSLP and it was a sealed deal from there.

omg erik i was reading that stuff u posted its like rap science!! lol i just like writing complex/clever punchlines and thinking abstractly... i d k bout all tht other stuff. well not all of it most of it.
haha yeah! shit can get complex and confusing as hell, but what it all boils down to is being creative and natural with it. i basically said that in the most complex/confusing way possible 
it was for a reason though. that way people who are able to comprehend it can dissect it and really try new things and experiment and have an understanding of why hip hop is so much more complex than they think and also so they can experiment more and create new forms of hip hop rather than just being another dope emcee, which we already have 3,000,000 of as is and we don't need any more typical cats like that.

this shit is confusing
indeed it is. overall it just comes down to what works for you though. we can break it down 1000 ways but you'll never be dope if you don't learn how to trust your instincts.
