After having a dope battle earning a nice win, and after having dropped some good shit on the cypher games, I seem to have lost my touch, which is bad when I've got a BIG match with a tough and eager opponent coming up.

How do you guys work to get your game back when you feel a little rusty and falling off the pedestal?

What's the best and quickest way of doing it?

Damn, I sound like a right noob when I say this.. This is gonna be used against me, but oh well. I need to get the rust off somehow

Thanks.. I'll try it all. Don't wanna be disappointing in our battle ha!

Hmm. I'm no expert but i'll give you my two cents based on my experiances. I'm currently in that rusty stage myself. Sometime's it's simply, I haven't written in a while and need to work my way back into it and sometime's it's a case of writers block. Those are two different issues and should be treated as such. In the case of not having written in a while, I believe the answer is to write write write. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad so much as you playing with different words and finding different ways to connect them in rhyme form.
example
pedestal-as dead as you-the debt is due-incredible-medical-spectical
 
and so on and so fourth. It helps you get back into the rhyme of things(pun intended).
 
If it's a case of writers block. Sometime's the best thing to do is stop writing. Get away from it and experience other facets of life. Stop listening to music. At some point you'll be remotivated or you won't. Writers block can be temporary but many writers(not just in music) have experienced life long cases of it. I'm not sure that is the norm but still, it does happen. I've had it. I've taken year long period of hiatus and then gotten back into. I've experienced bouts of complete creative loss and next to zero motivation to write before and I'm lucky to have gotten out of it. I've also tryied to force my way back to the level of writing I'd consider acceptable by my own standards and it's worked ONCE. All the other times I've had to step away for awhile.
 
Hope this helps. See ya.
 
EDIT:
I think it's important to note these are things you can try but everyone is different and the method to success can be vastly different depending on who you talk too. Creative processes are different from person to person. Just consider what I said but it's not law man.
