So I think I finally cracked it Rhythm is the when Cadence is the how And the beat is like a dance partner, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow and sometimes you move at the same time. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
+Keeland Caldwell Yeah man thats it! Cole actually gave me some a real wise methaphor. That the rhythm is the rail on a roller coaster (The percussions) And the cadence/flow is how the roller coaster moves around/ So its timing and how you say it :) That tip helped a lot!
Ive been wondering the same thing. These young rappers in the 2010"s have no idea that studying rap is important. Thats why new hip hop these days are WHACK AS HELL and thats why a lot of them never come across videos like this . ColeMizeStudios videos is beneficial for those who want to be at the top in the rap game.
Even with experience, I'm mesmerized by the lessons offered here. Do you also teach how to rap to the melody (Tupac) and how to rap to the bass line (Eminem)?
+Sahr Sankoh Thanks! I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback! Glad you're enjoying my videos! I think it would be interesting to make a few videos in the future around building raps to different instruments. I actually did one teach how to rap to a baseline but it was more for establishing rhythm without drums. You can check it out here buff.ly/1OSTjMx Thanks again Sahr for watching and commenting! :) - Cole Mize
i hit the jackpot with this one. I rap in Spanish really long time I don't do it, I'm trying to come back fresh , I used to learn songs for practicing English. Doing this with a focus of learning the Cadance and the Englihsh IT is really helpful.. Thank you !!
best Teacher ever your legacy already left in the world and your all hard work will come back I am certain very underrate channel and person keep going you will be famous in world like Dr Dre
You taught me about Fatback. Looking a bit into it online, I learned it was shipped to record stores a week before Rapper's Delight, with overlapping by a few days of copyright procedures. Thanks for the rap history lesson.
Mike W Awesome! Glad to be able to teach you a little of Rap history. I didn't realize they shipped that close together. Was is the whole album that was shipped or just the single? I know due to how well the song took on their album "especially with it being a bonus track on side b" they re-released it as a single but not sure the actual time of the singles release. That's why I ask.
ColeMizeStudios I read the shipping info at songfacts.com/detail.php?id=26613. It seems it's talking about the singles. The copyright information is in a reference note on the Fatback song's wikipedia page. Not sure how both of those harmonize or if there's some misinformation or confusion in the shipping story.
Mike W Yeah I see what you're saying lol I had read somewhere else that the Fatback album was released in the summer "and later released King Tim III as a single due to popular demand and Sugarhill gang released their album in December. Who knows? That will probably be an ongoing debate. Heck I wasn't even born then so I'm having to go off what I can find on the internet. I'd sure hate to give anyone misinformation. But thanks for sharing that article with me. I find music history and history in general fascinating :)
+XterioR My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Go for it! You can learn a ton simply by observing other artists! Thanks for watching and commenting! :) -Cole Mize
Hey Cole! Great video as always, thanks for the work you do for the community! I am quite confused about the difference between flow and cadence? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your kind words Genie! I think to think of your cadence is what your doing within one bar to another and flow as more of a zoomed out view of how all of your different cadences connect or flow together across your entire performance. I hope that helps :) - Cole Mize
Man, once again, you are doing an awesome job as a teacher! Thanks to you, we students who have discovered you, are evolving extremely fast with our mind filled with wisdom. Also, where can I listen to your actual songs? (altough just you playing around with cadence and mumbering gibberish could make up a really great song also :D)
The_DeathCaller Thanks a million bro! I really do appreciate all the positive feedback! :) And i'm really glad to hear my content is helping you out so much! That's very encouraging to know! You can check out some of my music at colemizestudios.com/cole-mize thanks again for all the love and support! Keep up the great work and I will strive to do the same! LET'S GET IT!!! lol - Cole Mize
Man that's tough I've got so many! Just the first that come to mind Andre 3000 from Outkast, Eminem, 2-Pac, Field Mob, DMX, Nas, J.Cole, Big K.R.I.T, Logic, Lecrae to name a few. How about yourself?
Hey Jake thanks so much bro! I actually just released a video on that exact topic. Once you watch it drop a comment on the video and let me know what you think and if you have questions feel free to ask.
I guess im writing a comment pretty late to this great video but if u ever read tell me im from another country India hip hop is pretty much evolving here but most of the artists suck. Can we use these cadences if we rap in completely different language?
Latasha Dennis Hey! the pleasure is all mine :) Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Is there any topics you would like to see future videos cover? I always love to hear back from you guys. Hope you're having an awesome Friday! :)
Hey man cool vid as always, wanted to ask can any words go with any flow ? I know u have to put big or smaller words but I mean the way it sounds in your mouth (if that makes sense)
FuMe Acap Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I greatly appreciate it! And thanks for another great question! Yes any words can go with any flow. It's all about timing and syncing it to the cadences. So you may say words differently than you normally would for example you may stretch a word out longer or speed it up depending on how you need your syllables to line up with your cadence. I am going to get into all of this in the near future. Once I move off the topic of Cadences "in my videos" I'm going to be talking all about lyrics and writing for a while :) But if you have any questions about Cadence that you feel I haven't covered yet please let me know and I will seriously consider doing a video about it. Let me know if my answer above was helpful to you. I hope you are having an awesome Friday! :)
Yep thanks man, I don't really know if it's about cadence but when I skip a measure to make a AAA rhyme scheme it kinda breaks all the energy I feel like the measure I'm skipping is taking forever lol any ideas ??
FuMe Acap hmmm when you say "I skip a measure" are you saying that you're intentionally leaving a one measure pause in your lyrics but it seems it's taking to long and it's kind of Killing the energy?
FuMe Acap ok gotcha. Here is several ideas. A. You can shorten your pause by adding lyrics to lead into the next bar. B. you could add adlibs to the pause, or usually mixing engineers will give vocals an echo effect where there is long pauses in order to fill in the gap. Or C. You can leave the pause as is but make the pause have purpose. For example use it to create tension like when a tv show ends at the high point of the story Line and leaves you hanging until the next episode. You can do something similar to a pause and then pick the story line back up after the pause. I will make videos on stuff like this one I get to covering topics like song writing and structure. Let me know if this is helpful to you :)
Vaughn Doyle Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. The possibilities are endless! :) Eminem does a superb job of riding those drums like crazy!! Like you said Toy soldiers is a great example of this. I will definitely take your video suggestion into consideration. I've pretty much touched on all of the basics on Cadence "including riding the drums" at this point unless I can come up with a video that teaches techniques on cadence I haven't yet covered. "I'm all ears". If you have any more ideas please let me know. I greatly appreciate you watching and commenting. I hope you are having an awesome Friday! :)
Send me the book...im literally here with pen and pad taking notes...appreciate you ....i learned alot on this one...kind of like the major key to perfect the craft
Hello there! I'm Dr Somanna and I'm sorry for 'barging in here! The comments section has for some reason not been loading at my end and hence this question here: Hello again! For some reason the previous comments are not loading. I'm waiting for your opinion about the Shure SM57-LC Cardiod Dynamic microphone. Regards and take care! Dr. Somanna
Not at the moment, I recommend doing it by ear and try not to overthink it. The graphs you see me use require a lot of work on my end and I'm doing it for teaching purposes only. But when I'm learning someone's cadence I'm strictly doing it by ear. I could scat for a few minutes off the top but it would take me hours to break down what I did. The main point here is, I recommend relying on your ears first not visuals. Think of the visuals as an aid, kind of like training wheels. But we don't typically make music using them, I just use them to help explain what people already created musically. I hope that makes sense. ✌😎 - Cole Mize
Thanks! And you're exactly right they're scatting! Maybe I should drop some singles scatting huh? lol probably not ha ha! Thanks for watching and commenting! :) - Cole Mize
Bro you've helped out so much. I've only been making music for 6 months. I have the opposite of writers block but a lot of times i hear simple beats where there's a cadence to hear. Please respond with some advice. Also how to get better when your mind goes 100 miles a minute and messes you up. I'm always rapping fast then I'm trying to think about way to much. Appreciate you boss
Dude this idea is Amazing :) Study a song, mumble the lyrics, Until your comfortable with the flow. You don't have to memorize it word for word. Perfecto man! Now with your cadence, Are you just coming up with those off the top, or did you write those down?
Eireee17 Hey sis! I am so glad to hear that you found this video helpful! and it sounds like you got the concept down pat! :) Well as far as my cadences on this video goes I just listened to "referenced" those songs I mentioned in the video as I learned their cadence. I then went back to the instrumental I used and practiced these cadences I just learned to that beat. I would go back and forth with this process as the beat I was rapping to was different then all the songs I was learning cadence off of. But I didn't write any cadences down I just memorized them from practicing so much. Do you write down your cadences? And are there any topics in regards to cadence that you feel like I haven't addressed yet and should make a video about? I'm double checking with all you guys before I move on to making videos about lyrics and writing. Thanks so much for all your support! Hope you are having an awesome Friday Eireee! :)
Eireee17 awesome! I'm glad to hear that! Yeah you had me curious when you asked about writing down cadences cause I've never heard of anyone doing that before. But I'm always open to learn others techniques that work for them. :)
Firstly, I love your work. You break down everything perfectly and have really invested a lot of time in this. I sincerely appreciate it. Do you accept donations? Two questions: a) I have been listening to rap for a long time. and have an insane amount of cadences in my mind...however when I try to create the cadences in real life, I dont know what gibberish words to use that at least imitate the syllables of the word to give me an idea. Du du pu pu du du doesn't translate well to words, dont include the syllables I want and sounds nothing like the gibberish that you spit. Weird question I know, but how do you scat over a track similar to the way you do? b) Understand that you need to stay on beat..this is easy matching syllables for 4th notes and even 8th notes, but how is it possible to match up each syllable to fast notes like 16th and 32nd notes? It seems insanely difficult..is it just a matter of practice? Is it a better method to get a feel of the rhythm and just try and make sure that your first and last syllable falls roughly on the first and last note?
Hey Trip thanks for all of your kind words and support! Yes I accept donations at colemizestudios.com/donate and greatly appreciate any contribution. A. Try not to think of gibberish "scatting" by it's sound but rather just cadence. (they way your notes are dancing to the rhythm of the track) For example your scat could use certain sounding syllables that are completely different than the words you end up choosing but it will still sound perfect as long as your cadence matches the original cadence you came up with even tho the syllables are different. Watch my video on Translating cadences to lyrics to see all the other things to consider when doing this as well because it's a juggling act for sure! lol :) th-cam.com/video/HIRb0DhWoCw/w-d-xo.html B. Yes it really is just a matter of practice. The trick is to learn a cadence so well that you can rap it over any beat regardless of tempo and adjust your speed accordingly. Many people overlook how much practicing something in repetition place a major factor in their improvement. Learning techniques is only half the puzzle and practicing the techniques is what brings everything together which takes time and patience. I'm not sure if you are already aware but I actually offer a 1 on 1 coaching service on my website at colemizestudios.com/coaching If you're interested in working with me first hand on your personal development as a rapper then feel free to book a session and we will get the ball rolling. Thanks again for your support and always feel free to reach out with anymore questions you may have. I hope this helps! Much respect! - Cole Mize
+Ronniel Belandres The best method "in my opinion" is to pick a beat, build a cadence and then write the lyrics in the cadence you created. Thanks for watching and commenting! :) -Cole Mize
You know what's funny man.. My kids do this naturally and did when they started learning how to talk. I would watch them and they would lip sync with no sound then start mumbling. Mumbling what they understood was being said or now what's being sung. So I'll often hear my daughter humming the tune to a vocal line and then bust out a word here and there of it, trying to memorize it. So funny enough, I first learned about this technique from my kids! Interesting to know they learn the cadence of a word before the actual word and I'm assuming that's how accents are picked up in children. lol I've rapped and been songwriting for years but as they say, sometimes the Teacher must learn from the Student.
CyX SenZe lol that's really cool man! Yeah at first I was kind of hesitant about sharing this technique about mumble gibberish aka scatting because "in earlier videos" because I never heard of any other rappers doing it per say. But since I began uploading videos talking about I've heard many rappers say they do the same thing! :) It's just not something we typically do in public forums :) So you just as am I is a teacher learning from the students. :) Thanks for watching and commenting as well. I sincerely appreciate the support bro! I hope this finds you well!
Thanks and most def man. Yea, I know a lot of rappers that have told me about that technique when I started rapping or when I asked them about their techniques. Keep up the great work bro. One thing I learned being a vessel of God is sometimes we just have to share without judgement or discretion because the message isn't for us but for others. You never know how it will relate or connect with others in one form or another.
CyX SenZe Thanks bro I will do my best! and you're exactly right! I've learned the same thing as well :) It's amazing how that works. It's often a subtle unction and if we aren't paying attention we may overlook it or just disregard it as being insignificant. but it's incredible how when you do follow through with those unctions how it helps and touches people in deep, profound and even sometimes life changing ways more than we may be able to comprehend ourselves. God is good and i'm just glad to be a vessel :)
I get it learn From another Artist don't like try to be them I did a few Futures beats.Lil Waynes just freestyles but you sounded like them that was the shit you cadence in there format so its ok to do that just not to say what there saying. I Love LIL waynes mixtapes how he rides every hot beat out. the D-5 an drought 3 or my favorite wayne rapps slow i think thats how i have to rap i feel you 100% Now i"m start feeling them out like you said
+ISIS Records You got it bro! I'm glad to hear you are learning so much! Keep up the hard work bro! And thanks for giving me an update on how you're coming along! :) - Cole Mize
+The Skeleton Group Think of cadence as just 1 part of being yourself on the mic. Cadence is basically how you move around on the beat in rhythm. Delivery is how you sound, you're tone, you're emotion, you're feeling. I hope this helps :) - Cole Mize
ColeMizeStudios So whats the difference between flow and cadence? Because i thought thats what flow was. I thought flow was how u move around the beat, delivery was ur tone and emotion, and cadence was something else? Im lost. Help me please. Im really tryna master being an Emcee.
KMEL FRANCIS he's confusing you...just be yourself..when you do that it actually has a mixture of all 3..apply things from your favorite artists but don't make it obvious...also check out my channel and join us👌
+KMEL FRANCIS you're correct, flow and cadence is the same thing. Bars and measures are the same thing as well, it's just two words we commonly use that mean the same thing so don't let that confuse you. And you're correct about delivery as well. You're not lost bro you got it! :)
You absolutely could do that. Switch it up as much as you want. Just make sure it sounds good. There's no Rules in rapping only techniques so have fun and be Creative! :)
¡Si entiendo! El éxito ocurre cuando la preparación y la oportunidad se encuentran. Mientras trabajes duro y te mantengas enfocado, tu éxito no es una cuestión de si es solo una cuestión de cuándo. ¡Lo tienes! ✌😎 - Cole Mize
I definitely see your point if you're strictly judging by the mainstream. The Gansta Rap mainstream push certainly helped out with the mainstream decline for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Cole Mize
It'd be crazy to enforce a prohibition on biting flow. 99% of rappers are biting the style of the other 1%. No one cares. Only thing that's really whack is biting lyrics, and rappers do that too, and say it's allusion / homage. Btw, love Slippin. I already got that in my playlist of best rap songs. Don't know why everyone sleeping on it.
So I think I finally cracked it
Rhythm is the when
Cadence is the how
And the beat is like a dance partner, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow and sometimes you move at the same time. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
Keeland Caldwell You got it bro!! :) Very well put!
+Keeland Caldwell Yeah man thats it!
Cole actually gave me some a real wise methaphor.
That the rhythm is the rail on a roller coaster (The percussions)
And the cadence/flow is how the roller coaster moves around/
So its timing and how you say it :)
That tip helped a lot!
Keeland Caldwell i
you right fasholi
god i NEEDED THIS
You helping the culture grow my man. Nothing but massive respect for your work

Dope video Cole!! I would love to see one on your process converting cadence to lyrics and your writing technique.
Hey Jake thanks so much bro! I actually just released a video on that exact topic. Once you watch it drop a comment on the video and let me know what you think and if you have questions feel free to ask.
Dude youre just amazing
Great video man!! Just learned a ton. keep em coming 💯💯💯
lol you got a dope accent, you pronounce the letter I as "ah" 😂
lol! Thanks Jerry :) - Cole Mize
So awesome 👏 I can hear them all on that beat!
I think this helps normally i learn songs very fast in one day after listening 2 or 3 times. Thanks this helpful tho
7:23 sounds like crypt lol
you nailed it, that makes so much sense. study as many rappers as possible. great video man, thanks.
Super helpful dude, these are some fire ass tips dog

Hey Cole - I am struggling to identify the cadence patters. Is there an alternative method to identify these patterns in a particular song using tech?
Not at the moment, I recommend doing it by ear and try not to overthink it. The graphs you see me use require a lot of work on my end and I'm doing it for teaching purposes only. But when I'm learning someone's cadence I'm strictly doing it by ear. I could scat for a few minutes off the top but it would take me hours to break down what I did.

This is a very informative video and all..
But the gibberish he was rapping at the end is exactly how these modern cats be rapping, I swear.

I'm double checking with all you guys before I move on to making videos about lyrics and writing. Thanks so much for all your support! Hope you are having an awesome Friday Eireee! :)
I memorize mine As well. I think I got it down packed, I just wanted to hear about your process as well
Eireee17 awesome! I'm glad to hear that! Yeah you had me curious when you asked about writing down cadences cause I've never heard of anyone doing that before. But I'm always open to learn others techniques that work for them. :)
:) keep up the good work bro
Eireee17 thanks sis! :) I will do my best!
Firstly, I love your work. You break down everything perfectly and have really invested a lot of time in this. I sincerely appreciate it. Do you accept donations?
Two questions:
a) I have been listening to rap for a long time. and have an insane amount of cadences in my mind...however when I try to create the cadences in real life, I dont know what gibberish words to use that at least imitate the syllables of the word to give me an idea. Du du pu pu du du doesn't translate well to words, dont include the syllables I want and sounds nothing like the gibberish that you spit. Weird question I know, but how do you scat over a track similar to the way you do?
b) Understand that you need to stay on beat..this is easy matching syllables for 4th notes and even 8th notes, but how is it possible to match up each syllable to fast notes like 16th and 32nd notes? It seems insanely difficult..is it just a matter of practice? Is it a better method to get a feel of the rhythm and just try and make sure that your first and last syllable falls roughly on the first and last note?
Hey Trip thanks for all of your kind words and support! Yes I accept donations at colemizestudios.com/donate and greatly appreciate any contribution.
A. Try not to think of gibberish "scatting" by it's sound but rather just cadence. (they way your notes are dancing to the rhythm of the track) For example your scat could use certain sounding syllables that are completely different than the words you end up choosing but it will still sound perfect as long as your cadence matches the original cadence you came up with even tho the syllables are different.
Watch my video on Translating cadences to lyrics to see all the other things to consider when doing this as well because it's a juggling act for sure! lol :) th-cam.com/video/HIRb0DhWoCw/w-d-xo.html
B. Yes it really is just a matter of practice. The trick is to learn a cadence so well that you can rap it over any beat regardless of tempo and adjust your speed accordingly. Many people overlook how much practicing something in repetition place a major factor in their improvement. Learning techniques is only half the puzzle and practicing the techniques is what brings everything together which takes time and patience.

+ColeMizeStudios thank you so much for the advice. this helps alot. you da man
My pleasure! You are too! :) - Cole Mize
Which one comes first? The beat, the lyrics or the cadence
+Ronniel Belandres The best method "in my opinion" is to pick a beat, build a cadence and then write the lyrics in the cadence you created. Thanks for watching and commenting! :) -Cole Mize
i love ur energy man lol keep it up
You know what's funny man.. My kids do this naturally and did when they started learning how to talk. I would watch them and they would lip sync with no sound then start mumbling. Mumbling what they understood was being said or now what's being sung. So I'll often hear my daughter humming the tune to a vocal line and then bust out a word here and there of it, trying to memorize it. So funny enough, I first learned about this technique from my kids! Interesting to know they learn the cadence of a word before the actual word and I'm assuming that's how accents are picked up in children. lol I've rapped and been songwriting for years but as they say, sometimes the Teacher must learn from the Student.
CyX SenZe lol that's really cool man! Yeah at first I was kind of hesitant about sharing this technique about mumble gibberish aka scatting because "in earlier videos" because I never heard of any other rappers doing it per say. But since I began uploading videos talking about I've heard many rappers say they do the same thing! :) It's just not something we typically do in public forums :) So you just as am I is a teacher learning from the students. :) Thanks for watching and commenting as well. I sincerely appreciate the support bro! I hope this finds you well!
Thanks and most def man. Yea, I know a lot of rappers that have told me about that technique when I started rapping or when I asked them about their techniques. Keep up the great work bro. One thing I learned being a vessel of God is sometimes we just have to share without judgement or discretion because the message isn't for us but for others. You never know how it will relate or connect with others in one form or another.
CyX SenZe Thanks bro I will do my best! and you're exactly right! I've learned the same thing as well :) It's amazing how that works. It's often a subtle unction and if we aren't paying attention we may overlook it or just disregard it as being insignificant.
but it's incredible how when you do follow through with those unctions how it helps and touches people in deep, profound and even sometimes life changing ways more than we may be able to comprehend ourselves. God is good and i'm just glad to be a vessel :)
Too awesome brother! It's so true! Keep it up man and much love homie. Stay blessed :D
CyX SenZe My pleasure and the same to you bro! Much love! :)
I bet if there is anybody on social media who can break rap down like this dude!! I wait!!
So what's the benefits of cadence?
well put bruh...
I get it learn From another Artist don't like try to be them I did a few Futures beats.Lil Waynes just freestyles but you sounded like them that was the shit you cadence in there format so its ok to do that just not to say what there saying. I Love LIL waynes mixtapes how he rides every hot beat out. the D-5 an drought 3 or my favorite wayne rapps slow i think thats how i have to rap i feel you 100% Now i"m start feeling them out like you said
+ISIS Records You got it bro! I'm glad to hear you are learning so much! Keep up the hard work bro! And thanks for giving me an update on how you're coming along! :) - Cole Mize
Legit 🔥🔥🔥
So if i read and learn the cadence will i develop my own style?
cadence has become easy but filling them with good substance is hard,any advice?
so cadence is actually being yourself on the mic wich becomes your own personal cadence right?
+The Skeleton Group Think of cadence as just 1 part of being yourself on the mic. Cadence is basically how you move around on the beat in rhythm. Delivery is how you sound, you're tone, you're emotion, you're feeling. I hope this helps :) - Cole Mize
ColeMizeStudios So whats the difference between flow and cadence? Because i thought thats what flow was. I thought flow was how u move around the beat, delivery was ur tone and emotion, and cadence was something else? Im lost. Help me please. Im really tryna master being an Emcee.
KMEL FRANCIS he doesn't know what he's talking about 😂everything he described is just being yourself basically
KMEL FRANCIS he's confusing you...just be yourself..when you do that it actually has a mixture of all 3..apply things from your favorite artists but don't make it obvious...also check out my channel and join us👌
+KMEL FRANCIS you're correct, flow and cadence is the same thing. Bars and measures are the same thing as well, it's just two words we commonly use that mean the same thing so don't let that confuse you. And you're correct about delivery as well. You're not lost bro you got it! :)
Can I have different cadence on every bar? Or should be the cadence still the same in one track?
Thanks!
You absolutely could do that. Switch it up as much as you want. Just make sure it sounds good. There's no Rules in rapping only techniques so have fun and be Creative! :)
No me voy a morir hasta llegar hasta dónde soñé, entiendes lo que digo
¡Si entiendo! El éxito ocurre cuando la preparación y la oportunidad se encuentran. Mientras trabajes duro y te mantengas enfocado, tu éxito no es una cuestión de si es solo una cuestión de cuándo. ¡Lo tienes! ✌😎 - Cole Mize
Iv watched this 7/8 tjmes fs
5:47 , 6:15 , 7:58
Rip DMX
thats you
I picked Mf Doom as the artist I study
+James Smith That's what's up man! Keep it up bro! - Cole Mize
I wouldn't say "Evolution in rap" I might even say "Huge degeneration"
I definitely see your point if you're strictly judging by the mainstream. The Gansta Rap mainstream push certainly helped out with the mainstream decline for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Cole Mize
ColeMizeStudios
i like it -- its a good channel :)
It'd be crazy to enforce a prohibition on biting flow. 99% of rappers are biting the style of the other 1%. No one cares. Only thing that's really whack is biting lyrics, and rappers do that too, and say it's allusion / homage.
Btw, love Slippin. I already got that in my playlist of best rap songs. Don't know why everyone sleeping on it.
my name is cadence
You have an awesome name! :) -Cole Mize
I'm trying to figure out how Nicki Minaj finds her sporadic cadence.
Yup all those changes until today's rapper start from the beggining again..today music is wack
lol There's a lot of dope rappers today but not so much on mainstream outlets :) - Cole Mize
If I ever become famous from rapping, your getting shoutout
Did you just rap’d better than dmx
