Tough question because I don't think there's really any guys out there who JUST freestyle... I rap for fun, and I learned the best ways to come up with rhymes and different flows and learning where to rhyme within the beat is to just freestyle. I worked in a huge ice cream freezer (think a warehouse at -20 degrees with hundreds of 5-gallon tubs of ice cream) and I would just freestyle rhyme the entire work shift to take my mind off the cold and make it more fun. Half the lines wouldn't even make sense, but I'd come up with some really creative stuff and then use some of it when i began writing. I look at freestyling like a practice method for when you write your rhymes. Helps out with your flow so much I think.
