    Couldn't I just, Add more words.. or less, depending on the Tempo While keeping the flow
    and still be on beat? I would think I would be able to compensate for being behind or in front of pace with word count?
    I'm working more on keeping a constant flow but some beats It just doesn't seem to click the way I go about it..
    I hate to say it but.. maybe my choice of beat is affecting my flow in some way? Maybe the Tempo?
    I'm still trying to grasp the whole deal but Does any of this sound right?
    Honestly, if i was in your position i wouldn't over think it. Practice rapping over a metronome for a bit. It should be easier for you to stay in time, there's less going on in comparison to a full song that has more stuff to distract you or throw you off your timing.

    You might be better off using slower simple beats for a while. Should make it easier for you to keep in time and see where you are falling out.

    As a jazz saxophonist and a rapper I'd have to say I know time signatures pretty well. I've actually never heard Hip-Hop in anything other than 4/4.

    Blue Rondo Al a Turk is a bitch though.

    Speaking of Tempo,
    Here's a change of pace
    Someone Reached out to me about using their beats and that's what day 17 is
    they promoted my day 17 and I'm at 91 views and 4 likes
    Here's to progress.

    I guess my raps are becoming more feeling and less thinking lately..
    I've been doubting myself so really just trying to keep feeling it.

    Day 20 is coming up.. Plan to do 3-4 minutes strictly flow.

    Also, I can't say when it will be out but I'm working on a collaboration with an old buddy
    from high school.
    Cross between some real shit and a club banger, should be good.

    in regards to time signature, "Brooklyn's Finest" Jay-Z and Biggie is in 5/4...nice to listen to if you want to notice the difference, where the beat and flow pump compared to a 4/4
