    I’ve watched thousands of hours of educational and training material across many many disciplines on TH-cam due to the nature of my work, you are easily in the top 1% of educational capability. I hope for your life you are able to use your education talents to help others, it has nothing to do with rap and not many people can simplify, explain, encourage, distill, and articulate it clearly in a way that others can immediately benefit from. I hope you realize how rare that is, good luck with everything

    took those bands made em drop
    Ima bull not a sheep
    I dont follow im not weak
    I got horns not some fleece
    killed the devil made him bleed
    I can't stop Im too keen
    I aint gentel im a beast
    chorus????
    no one knows how I feel
    cept the lord with so much zeal
    tried to conceal
    that I cant heal
    made it worse
    made it real

    • @RappingManualYT
      @RappingManualYT  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used those as examples, not correlating to the words I used. I meant that if you use words which have a clearer vowel composition, as in you can say them in a clearer way, your flow would be easier to create. Some words, have a bunch of consonants bundled together and that makes them less usable in specific situations - in my experience of course. Thank you for watching!
