Is freestyling...
A NECESSARY facet of hip-hop?
A few weeks ago Emdub posted a thread saying that unless you can freestyle, you can't be a true emcee. How many of you believe that this is true? Does the inability to freestyle hinder your impact in a hip-hop setting?

A true emcee is someone who puts rap before everything else, and cares about the music over the money.

Godbody is a guy who can freestyle good & write good as well, fuck what I said on that other thread he really doesn't write his freestyles we were throwing words to him just last night & it was just like all of his other stuff. (@ The guy who said they prolly suck at writing)
As for the OP's question, I think every part of rap is absolutely needed. Having diverse subsets of cultures within a larger one that are pretty much all just as popular as the next diversifies the culture immensely. I don't necessarily think one facet is better than another, and those who say one facet is absolutely needed to make you good just lack the open mind to understand that what makes a "good" emcee is completely subjective.
