kinda noticed this on the Funk Master Flex show & every other time he's been put on the spot.
he always does some line he's gonna spit on a track

tbh i think its pretty cool for a stan cuz you know whats on his mind

not really... every vid i've seen is either unreleased, a feature in another song, or album shit.
i heard his crazy cool 1 but i found out it was on a dwele song
id run out of fingers if id count all the times kanye has legitimately freestyled. you obviously just havent seen em and i dont wanna waste my time looking for all youtube vids to prove it to ya but i can describe some..for example... kanye fucking up during a live performance and forced to make up shit on the spot..thats like 4 times right there

Yeah, there was that SNL performance of "Everything I Am."  One of his finest moments, actually. :D

thats pretty much a garenteed freestyle figuring he got a word from a random person to freestyle off of

Very few rappers really do.  Very, very few.

Cudi freestyles >
cudi confuses the fuck out of me. i hear some of his verses and think he sucks at rapping and then hear a freestyle and am blown away. hes definitely one of the best freestylers ive heard lately, besides some underground guys who do it as their job.

Nobody REALLY freestyles

are you new to this?
Yah, pretty much what everyone said.  Not many rappers actually go off the top save a few (Common, Em) here and there and not always. 
freestyling and battle rappers arent big in the game anymore

eminem is probs the only mainstream rapper that can freestyle well - check out his stuff on tim westwood
Common is a real freestyler. I saw him in live, he was spittin rhymes off the dome about the people in the audience, the weather outside, what he was seeing at the moment and he went like this for 5 minutes. I was really impressed!

cudi doesnt want to just rap. he wants to establish his own flow and style. thats why he switches it up in his songs.
well it makes sense since freestyling originated as people rapping pre writtens. Cyphers and what not were just ways to spit out your best boasting lines, free of any topic or sense of structure hence "free style" only in the early mid 90's did people start to bust out off the tops.
I'd say most parts of this are freestyled:

True, but then again, not many rappers are true off-the-dome freestylers.  It's simply too difficult at times, and when you're on the spot, there's too much at stake.  :dno:
Kanye recycles his lines way too often and way to obviously, its pretty stupid using a line from a song that just came out it wouldn't be as noticeable if he used old line and obviously we would think its completely fresh if he used lines from unreleased songs.
