I don't rap myself -- although you probably could never tell by looking at me -- :) but it would probably be a good idea to try some speech exercises, like tongue twisters. Saying things that are difficult, and become a master of your mouth & tongue, so you can spew out words & rhymes faster (if need be) and rap more clearly. I'd also try picking up a thesaurus (if you freestyle), read a lot of books, catch up on current events, so that you'll have a broader vocabulary & be better able to pull the best rhymes out of the thought bubbles above your head.
Also think about ways you can take words that don't rhyme and make them rhyme by stuttering a syllable. Example: cry doesn't rhyme with smile, but if you pronounce it with a stutter, cry rhymes with smi (as in smile), so you'd say smi-i-ile.

HOW TO BE AN MC.
Rakim reads the dictionary.
1then you practice your freestyle ish
try to keep going on and on with your freestyle, try to freestyle about anything..
you'll get better example-Serius Jones
2then you practice your freestyle battles
watch videos of other rappers that are famous battle it out
3then you practice your writtens, like how lyrically you are and what kind of topics you can touch. EX. Nas, AZ
you don't really want to be Game where you just name drop or Jim Jones where you just say BALLLLLLLLIN
read and hear what they write....
4last but not least Swagger, you gotta be your self. Don't copy Weezy or Jay-z just be yourself,some artistic expression.

yea i agree with anthony... there are many things that you can and should do and like he stated you should read a lot and be up to date with the current events and youll be able to have more slick metaphors and things that anyone could relate to and there are numerous sites that can give you tips on what you need to do... i know a lot of different things about the rap game because my friend raps and pretty soon i will be joining his record label and he does alot of these things... the main thing that you need to do is learn more and more words and expand your vocabulary... good luck achieving your goals!!!

Study by finding a topic, any topic (it could be the lucky charms on the breakfast table) and just saying or writing whatever comes to your mind.....I'm sure you'll do good

expand your vocabulary, work on your flow.....
Lyrics are the most important thing in Hip Hop...then your flow has to be crisp... all you need is to perfect your flow and improve lyrically... and make sure you have relevant topics..,
