Typing off the top of your head... the text equivalent of a keystyle... Most people call things that aren't 100% keystyles keystyles anyway, I know I do... like sometimes I may pause for a minute absolute max whilst writin', also if I key, then have to go do somethin', then come back and key more I consider it all a key... I mean it doesn't work on the exact same premise as a freestyle, 'cuz in freestylin' tho ideas are in your head the whole time and you're constantly workin' rhymes out in your head (dunno if you've freed before but yeah) so even a free isn't 100% freestyle because 100% freestyle in essence isn't possible... But yeah the difference in keystyling/freestyling is the same as there is in instant message/talking on the phone... if that's a good comparison... shit... it'll do. 1

. . . Now who said they fuckin' with me?
They just said that FUCKIN' with me
They didn't mean it
Nah . . .

Well yeah mostly. When it comes to battles tho some people spend longer on it. I don't personally unless it's a big battle wit' one of the best, in which case I'll usually spend 30mins or maybe a bit more... not ashamed to admit that... 'cuz it's like considering everything, all the punches I think of etc etc... and if you look at battles, to come up wit' consistent bars that're REALLY sick... it's impossible to key it - fact. 1

i key everythin cuz i jus dont have time ta write...only writin i do in notebooks now is puttin rhymes n verses togetha i already did

 

 

and ta my man who said even freestyles arent 100 percent off tha top, i agree when it comes ta battles and mos free's, but theres some that come straight off tha top easy when its jus spittin bout wut eva, nah mean.....

but i mastered tha art of a key ~ homie dont even get it started wit me ~ im 'toppin' ya free ~ side steppin when im rev'n you aint stoppin tha V ~ peddle ta tha medal have ya'll shocked at tha speed ~ unplugged wit a slug like hollow shots when ya bleed ~ drop ta knees ~ cuz is like im coppin tha breeze, how i flow like tha wind off tha top of tha trees ~ anyone stoppin me? please ~ maybe when cows fly n pigs drive ~ and we crash head on gettin high as my spits ride ~ wishin we switched sides when you get taken down by tha rip tide ~ as i crash like waves when a storm hits ~ stay wit heavy words i got some strong lips ~ not my time then you watchin tha wrong tics ~ and those who oppose get shipped ta tha cemetery for long shifts 

'like a fly in a heat wave ~ i stay on some hot shit'

ya keystyle is the equivolant of a freestyle...i wud call it a key wen you jus type it all straight off the head...but then like its been sed b4 on other sites, some fukas type really S L O W and can still technically say that you key'd it...but the way that I see it is if you can't type at the speed u wud rap it then it aint a key, fa instance if you typin it like this

look     bolo    you should  of    no showed                        ill  give you     a     demo     jus to       call     it     a     promo

vs.

look bolo your ass shudda no showed
go to Front Line? Psssh, I'm best ridin solo

that type of thing, but then every1s definition varies...i tend just to keystyle everything now unless like Orion sed I'm battlin someone really really dope but then again I haven't been doin that much lately anyway, and even when I write it on a pad instead of keyin then it tends to be the first shit that comes to my head anyway with a cuple of one liners I had saved up anyway, so there aint really much difference coz i dont tend to spend much time, if any, changin everything about *shrugs* guess once u've worked out how to do it you can do it

peace
