HOW FREESTYLE RAPPING AND STRATEGIC 
PLANNING ARE SIMILAR
IT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE BOTH ON TRACK
BAD JOKE, I KNOW. BUT THESE SLIDES WILL SHOW 
YOU THERE ARE OVERLAPPING CONNECTING 
DOTS BETWEEN THE TWO
I’M A BIG FAN OF BOTH AND THINK THEY’RE 
BOTH CRAFTS THAT ADD VALUE TO THIS 
WONDERFUL WORLD OF COMPLEXITY
6 WAYS
IN 6 MINUTES
READY....LAY DOWN THE BEAT!
1 
YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT IS 
RELEVANT TO YOUR AUDIENCE
HEY PLANNER… 
IF YOU DON’T REACH YOUR AUDIENCE IT’S A 
WASTE OF YOUR CLIENT’S MONEY
HEY FREESTYLE RAPPER… 
YOU WON’T GET ANY “OOOH’S” OR APPLAUSE 
WHICH MEANS YOUR EFFORTS ARE USELESS
2 
IF YOU ARE DISINGENUINE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR 
FOLLOWING
HEY PLANNER… 
KNOW HUMAN TRUTHS, OBSESS WITH CULTURE 
AND CREATE STUFF THAT MATTERS TO PEOPLE. IF 
YOU SAY THINGS YOU DON’T DO, THEY WILL LEAVE 
YOU. THEY HAVE SO MANY CHOICES AS IT IS
HEY FREESTYLE RAPPER… 
IF YOU’RE STUFF IS ALL REHEARSED AND YOU 
DON’T ENTERTAIN, NO ONE WILL WANT TO 
LISTEN TO YOU. THEY HAVE SO MANY CHOICES AS 
IT IS
3 
DEEPLY KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE AS HUMANS 
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THINKING OF YOUR 
EXECUTION
HEY PLANNER… 
HUMANS HAVE FEELINGS AND THEY ARE 
COMPLEXLY WIRED HUMANS WITH HOPES, 
DREAMS AND FOUNDATIONAL PERCEPTIONS
HEY FREESTYLE RAPPER… 
YOU NEED TO GENUINELY UNDERSTAND THE 
PEOPLE HAVE VALUES AND BELIEFS SO YOU 
KNOW HOW TO REACH THEM WITH RHYMES
4 
QUALITY IS MORE VALUABLE THAT QUANTITY 
AND ONE PERSON CAN CHANGE YOUR BRAND 
(PERSONAL OR BUSINESS) FOREVER
HEY PLANNER… 
IT’S IMPORTANT TO THINK OF EVERY ‘CONSUMER’ 
AS AN INDIVIDUAL INSTEAD OF THINKING IN 
GROUPS
HEY FREESTYLE RAPPER… 
ONE PERSON IN THE CREW MAY BE YOUR 
CONNECT TO THE LIMELIGHT. HIS FOLLOWING 
MAY BE LARGER THAN ALL OF YOUR HATER’S 
COMBINED
5 
REPUTATION IS KEY SO MAKE EVERY EXECUTION 
COUNT
HEY PLANNER… 
YOU’RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST MEETING 
AND BRIEF. COMPETE TO BE A BETTER YOU 
TOMORROW THAN YOU WERE TODAY
HEY FREESTYLE RAPPER… 
IT’S NOT ABOUT YOUR LATEST RHYME BUT 
RATHER THE DEPTH OF YOUR MATERIAL AND 
HISTORICAL STYLE
6 
KNOW CULTURE AND HOW TO IMPROVISE TO 
MOVE WITH IT AND CREATE IT
HEY PLANNER… 
THE ANSWER TODAY MAY NOT BE THE ANSWER 
TOMORROW. CONTINUE TO EXPERIMENT TO SEE 
WHAT RESONATES AND WHAT MOVES PEOPLE
HEY FREESTYLE RAPPER… 
TEST THE WATERS AND SPIT WHAT YOU THINK IS 
RELEVANT TO YOUR RAP CIRCLE. IF IT DOESN’T 
MOVE THEM, TRY SOMETHING ELSE
QUICK RECAP
1 
YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT is RELEVANT TO YOUR AUDIENCE 
2 
IF YOU ARE DISINGENUINE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FOLLOWING 
3 
DEEPLY KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE AS HUMANS BEFORE YOU BEGIN THINKING OF YOUR EXECUTION

5

SO GRAB THE MIC, MAKE WORK THAT 
PEOPLE LOVE, MAKE WORK THAT YOU 
LOVE AND MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER 
PLACE
THANKS!
