I count myself a good rapper and even I don't know how I became good at rapping. I started off really terrible. I just listened to a lot of it, and wrote a lot of it, and eventually noticed I wasn't terrible.

I didn't care a bit about the actual theory behind rap until I saw the Behind the Scenes videos for Shakespear vs Seuss and King vs Poe that I saw Watsky talking about Iambic pentameter and Trochaic octameter and decided to study those concepts. While I was doing that I saw this video, which helped me understand rhyme theory much more than I did. I've just been self-studying from there.
