No, itās not ābroā.
It is literally how EVERY musician learns to make music. NOTHING you do creatively is 100% original. It ALL has influences, whether you are consciously aware or not. As youcontinue rapping along, you pick up what you like about all the different deliveries, play arpund with it all and begin to form your own style.
I am NOT encouraging that he straight up copy paste the flows of others to make his own. I am saying that he rap along to learn the general flow of their songs, which differ in flow, so as to get used to flow itself and what feels best to them. At some point they start to get a better feel for what appeals to them and start to form something new based off of their influences. Literally every creator in the history of humanity has done something akin to this. You misunderstand what I was getting at.
If you think anything you ha e ever witnessed creatively in the course of your life is 100% original, you are full of shit. Just because you cannot recognize the influences behind the creation of others does not mean it is not there.
Edit: I was going to make a rebuttal to your bullshit analogies and assertions but why bother? The very premise they are based on is bullshit.
Guitarists learn to play songs by their favourite artists when they start playing guitar. Then they get used to making riffs based off of that. Then they mix the difderenr styles and add new ahit they learn and over time create a unique playstyle as they get used to playing. This is a more appropriate analogy then the retarded one you used. As Phil Anselmo said: If you eant to start an original band, āstealā from as many bands as possibke at first and get used to playing like that. Over time you will develop your own style. When a beginner guitarist learns Enter Sandman, Smoke on the Water or amything by Black Sabbath, it is not ābitingā it is called āpracticingā and when they get the song down, it is called āplayingā or ācoveringā. Your painting analogy does not fit what I was talking about nor does it work in this case. And I do not ābiteā styles. I merely take inflyence from them. I only do that by being aquinted with them. You know hiw I got so aquainted with them? By rapping along to them so often because they were stuck in my head. Nobody ever tols me my flow sounded like ANYBODY elseās. When I first started off, my speed was compared to the lujea of Twista (I have aince sloqed down) but my flow was never compared to anybody else. That is because once I started rapping, I was already used to so many different rap songs with so many different flows Iād rapped alog to that I had gotten a taste for what I liked about ALL of them and created a personal flow that incorporated thise elements.
Rapping along with the songs of others to get used to their delivery is no different from learning to play songs of other guitarists/bands on guitar. Are you stealing? No. Youāre playing and youāre learning. Rapping along to your favorite artists is no different. This does not mean to straight up steal theur style. It means to learn it so you can uae what ypu like about it as influence.
This also works with vocalists. For example: Rob Zombie. CLEAR Alice Cooper influences in his delivery yet he has his own vocal style that is NOT confused with Cooperās. How did he develop that style? In part, by singing along to the stuff he was influenced by, including the likes of Alice Cooper.
