Hook up with a brethren who's got some decks and start rhyming. If you don't know anyone who's got decks then use an instrumental.

"We just used to mess about in our bedroom. A mate of mine had two turntables, one microphone and that's how we got started."
Blak Twang

Practise your rhymes hard and really listen to how they work with the track.

Great rhymes sit within the rhythm of the track but at the same time they can drive it and push against it, really testing the groove.

Check out the Jamaican dancehall deejays. They often ride a sparse riddim which allows them to show off many different rhyming patterns.

Notice how the riddim can sound almost totally different depending upon which pattern they use.

Listen to as many MC's and rappers as you can and try and pick up their good habits.
