Freestyle Rapping

Freestyle rap refers to rap lyrics which are improvised through acapella or with instrumental beats and performed with few or no previously composed lyrics, off the top of your head.

In Old School Hip-Hop, the term "freestyle" referred to a pre-written rap verse that had no subject and was just written for the purpose of demonstrating skill. The term is still used in this way, though the majority of today’s artists use it to mean improvised rapping.

There are two types of freestyle. There’s an old-school freestyle that’s basically rhymes that you’ve written that may not have anything to do with any subject or that goes all over the place. Then there’s freestyle where you come off the top of the head.

Celtics Defeat Lakers

Without Lakers star player Kobe Bryant, Celtics took advantage and finished with a victory Thursday night against the Lakers, ending their 4 game winning streak with a score of 87-86.
After the Lakers took a close 84-80 lead on Andrew Bynums dunk with just over 7 minutes of the game remaining, the team got cold and Celtics took advantage.
Lakers Derek Fisher, who only scored three points on 1-for-9 shooting, missed a potential game-winning jumper at the buzzer.
Bryant sat out last nights game, which was his fifth consecutive game he has missed because of a strained tendon in his left ankle. Some could say it left a void in the Lakers arsenal but they still managed to win four games in a row without one of their star players.
