study other rappers and the word they use and how they use them. maybe watch some documentaries or something, read a book or the dictionary to widen your vocab a little bit. it still all depends on how you deliver it so you can learn all the coolest words in the book and still deliver them wrong.
Rap. Alot.
i lost my lyrical ability tbh and i need to get nice again.
My opinion is just to stay rappin but then again I think when rapping you either have it or you don't. I think if you do have it you can lose it. For example I think Slim Shady LP and Marshal Mathers LP are dope, if I still listened to Eminem or had his shyt downloaded i'd bump songs from those albums. Everything after Relapse is trash to me.
I can't think of anyone who didn't initially have it that eventually got it. I'd have to study 2chains or something..when he was Tityboi for some reason he just didn't have it then when he was 2 chainz he popped off, is he rappin better now? I can't tell you.
Everyone has their own voice, whether you pop off and start to sell out shows is maybe dependent on how hard you work, if Yung Berg and Tyga can get listeners and Tyga can travel and perform songs, im sure theres something out there for you. I like Charles Hamilton, and been watchin him since his early shyt and as much content as he dropped I thought there was going to be the point of metamorphosis where he would be a dope spitter and make dope songs. He has some cool freestyles and some good songs, but I don't think he's ever going to cross over to the point of being dope where you're like "
who is this nikka, he didnt use to be nice like this!"Just have your own voice and continue to do you.

Read the dictionary
Listen to breakbeats and classical music
Watch Scarface, Goodfellas, The Education of Sonny Carson
When you write focus on flow and cadence first... Lyrics will come out naturally
