When it comes to rap, there are a number of different styles. For example, there are traditional rap musicians and freestyle rappers. In most cases, the latter is a form of improvised rapping. Whereas, traditional rappers often use prescribed lyrics and music. When it comes to a Cypher Entertainment Freestyle Collaboration, it is often a meeting of the minds of two or more artists.

A number of old school rap artists have often defined improvisational rap as a talking performance with no substance or subject. Whereas, more modern freestyle rappers often rap about specific subjects or events. In fact, many perform short raps related to current events and politics.

It was the 1980s when rappers first started splitting the scene between traditional and improvisational styles. The 1980s were the first decade to see improvisational rappers whom were mostly about celebrating oneself rather than providing a performance based on written content. While this is the case, the improvisational aspect remains the same now though often with more substance and subject than in the past.

There are basically two types of genres in the current rap scene. These include old school and freestyle. In the first case, rappers rap from memorized or written lyrics which often tell a story. Whereas, in the latter, the performance is improvised on the spot and may or may not include a story or other content. In either case, background music is a choice whether a DJ spinning an album, recorded sound effects or live musicians.

While newer definitions exist, those in place since the 1990s are basically the same as the ones being used today. Although, it has only been recently that musical groups such as Freestyle Fellowship and others have been accepted into the genre. In addition, battles and competitions are also more common now than in the past. If interested in learning more about the genre, the film "Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme, " can provide a lot of insight.

While the genre is widely accepted today, this was not the case in the past. For, a number of experienced and professional rap artists had no respect for improvisational rap. In fact, many considered it more slam poetry than rap. As such, the genre has gone through some what of a rebirth since that time.

Many current artists actually learn how to rap by using improvised methods. As such, most turn the art into a rhyming game or conversation in order to practice the improvisational aspects of the style. These methods have a multitude of purposes including therapeutic activities, entertainment and as a way of discovering new and different ideas, spiritual exploration and self-promotion.

As for Cypher oriented improvisational rap, this often refers to a battle or contest between rappers. The American television show "Drop The Mic, " in which two or more celebrities go head to head in front of a live audience is a good example. For, during the show celebrities go head to head in a multi-round contest, once the battle ends a winner is chosen based on the noise level of the audience during a round of applause for each rapper.
