This is for all of you out there who want to improve your performance skills!(I orginally found this basic idea in a rap magazine article about Busta Rhymes and I've added to it since then.)
This theory on performing is called "CLAMP":
C=Concept You've
gotta have a tight concept for your songs. They just can't ALL be freestyles
about random topics. Many new MCs have this problem. What is a tight
concept? It needs to be at LEAST 2 things. It first of all, needs to
be original!! How many times have ya heard the same thing on 20 different
albums? If ya ain't got nothin' original to say why are people gonna wanna listen
ta YOU? How are you gonna stand out from the pack if ya talk about
the exact same stuff? There's more than enoughstuff to talk about, but
most MCs just don't take the time to think about WHAT they wanna say! The second thing it needs to be is unique way! If ya gotta talk about the same topic or theme as someone else, then at least think of a new way ta come at it! How are you
gonna stand out if you talk about things in the sameway? Most MC's don't take
the time to think of HOW they wanna say things!
