Songfacts®:

Rapper T-Wayne's first major release as an independent artist is a freestyle rapped over the beat from the Bandit Gang Marco cut "Nasty."
The song became a major viral success after users posted a series of humorous dance snippets to accompany the song on the social media service Vine. Wayne told Billboard magazine: "We had made a dance video to it when we first did it. Right after we made that dance video, the dance video just took off and everybody started copying the dance moves we did to it. Once everybody started doing it then people started doing funny stuff."
T-Wayne attributes the song's success to it being catchy. "Those lyrics, you can't deny, because it really is a hard freestyle," he said. "It says some real stuff but it also says some funny stuff that people can relate to. It will make you laugh."
T-Wayne's real name is Tyshon Dwayne Nobles. Billboard asked him why he titled his mixtape Who Is Rickey Wayne? The rapper replied that during the early 2010s he was getting sick of people comparing him to the Lil Wayne and T-Pain project, which is also named T-Wayne. "They would get my name confused when I was just freestyling and I just felt like I just wanted to change my name because I was getting sick of it, the rapper said. "Randomly, the name Rickey just came up and it was [in] a 'Riot' freestyle that 2 Chainz had done when I was younger. The rap was like, 'Rickey Wayne.' I was like, 'that sounds kind of good,' so I ran with it."
"It doesn't really have a particular meaning to it." T-Wayne added. "It just came, it popped up and it was organic so I just ran with it. I was like, 'God put that name there for a reason so I'm going to take it. '"
Most hit songs at the time were written in collaborations, but this one lists just one writer: T-Wayne. Another unusual element: the title never appears in the lyric. It's also one of the shortest hits of its time, running just 2:22.

Lil Wayne vs. Young Thug: A Case for the Rising Rapper (Op-Ed)

You’re from Texas and played football in high school, and that seemed to be the direction you were heading in. What made you stop?
I played football since I was like seven-years old, all the way through high-school until my senior year. At one point I had the most receiving yards in the district. I stopped playing football because I wanted to do music. In the 11th grade, I told my coach, ‘I don’t want to play football any more because I want to do music,’ and then my coach told me, ‘T-Wayne, do you think you’re going to get a record deal? All these people are out there rapping and doing music, you need to stick with sports.’ So I got back into sports in the 12th grade year, [but] then I hurt my shoulder and had to sit out for like three or four games. Then after that, it was just done. It stopped me from getting a scholarship even though I played half the season starting. I guess they had something against me and decided I wouldn’t get a scholarship so I just stuck to my roots and kept rapping.

What did you listen to growing up?
It was really ’90s-style rapping, like Eminem. ?I started really doing music [because of] Eminem. I saw the 8 Mile movie when I was young. My whole entire life, I had been freestyling. But after the 8 Mile movie came out, all the kids wanted to freestyle battle. So at my middle school in 8th grade, I started freestyle battling. We would have the whole lunchroom crowd around us and the coaches would let us freestyle battle. Of course, I wasn’t the best but like I said, I’ve been rapping for a long time. I followed Soulja Boy when I was younger too. He influenced me a little bit.

At what point did you start recording music?
I started recording when I was in 8th grade. This guy I went to school with in 8th grade had a computer that had a little microphone embedded into the screen of the computer. So he was like, come over, record a song [and] do whatever you do. So I went to his house and recorded that and I recorded a whole 30 songs on this thing. He made a CD and I started passing this CD around my school; that’s when I knew. I was like 14 or 15-years old, and the whole school knew all of my lyrics, word for word. I dropped that little mixtape in 8th grade. We had [a] pep rally and they let me perform. The radio station let me come to the station because they saw me perform and that’s when I knew I wanted to rap.

You’re also an accomplished dancer, judging by your YouTube videos.
I wasn’t much of a big dancer because a lot of people know I was never like a real dancer. I danced for fun because one of my homeboys danced. This was the crazy thing, there was never really dances to my songs. So many singers had dances that made their songs. That’s what made me start dancing because nobody else would make dance videos to my songs, so I started making my own dances to my songs. That helped me get out there and put my music out there. I used a little dance platform to get people behind it.

In 2013, you said you signed to Brick Squad. How did that opportunity come about?
Well, I had a song at the time that blew up in Atlanta and Waka and everybody just started looking out for me. I wasn’t really signed onto Brick Squad, I was just affiliated with them. That’s like a family. They just looked out for me when I was coming out and they helped me out a lot.

What’s your relationship now with Waka?
That’s still my big bro. He helps me out with everything. He gives me advice every now and then. He told me to do what I want to do. I used to always ask, ‘should I do this? Should I do that? What should I do?’ He’s like, ‘lil’ bro, do what you wanna do.’ When I started really doing what I wanted to do, that’s when it started. [It was] like I found this within myself; it worked.

What made you want to use YouTube as your portal to build your career?
I wanted to get my face out there and it was the best way for me because I didn’t want to have to pay big shots and stuff. I wanted it to be a platform where I didn’t have to go where everybody else was going to get known. I want to be able to do it myself. So I filled up my YouTube channel. I would post stuff once a week: dance videos and music videos. I just filled up my channel with myself just to get my face out there, because all my life no one ever recognized my face but they knew my music. I never had videos in my life but now I have videos every week.

And then “Nasty Freestyle” is the one that took off.
The song took off because it’s so catchy. Those lyrics, you can’t deny, because it really is a hard freestyle. It says some real stuff but it also says some funny stuff that people can relate to. It will make you laugh. We had made a dance video to it when we first did it. Right after we made that dance video, the dance video just took off and everybody started copying the dance moves we did to it. Once everybody started doing it then people started doing funny stuff.

Vine also played a huge role in giving it a boost. People synched up the beginning of the songs to different clips, I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of them. Which one was the catalyst?
I want to say the one where the girl’s weave fell out of her hair. She was dancing and her weave fell out, that took it up to a whole other level.

What’s your favorite one that you’ve seen?
My favorite would be the one from Kylie Jenner but that one wasn’t online. When I’d seen Kylie Jenner do it, I was like, ‘whoa.’

Your real name is Tyshon, but you named your mixtape Who Is Rickey Wayne? Where did Rickey come from?
I was freestyling like four years ago. For some reason I was getting sick of people comparing me to… I’m not going to say it. You know what I mean, they would get my name confused when I was just freestyling and I just felt like I just wanted to change my name because I was getting sick of it. Randomly, the name Rickey just came up and it was [in] a “Riot” freestyle that 2 Chainz had done when I was younger. The rap was like, ‘Rickey Wayne.’ I was like, ‘that sounds kind of good,’ so I ran with it. It doesn’t really have a particular meaning to it. It just came, it popped up and it was organic so I just ran with it. I was like, ‘God put that name there for a reason so I’m going to take it.’

You seem to be alluding to the fact that T-Wayne was the Lil Wayne and T-Pain project. Do you feel like people don’t affiliate you with that anymore, or do you still get that?
I rarely get that now. Because I have been T-Wayne since 5th grade… My first name is Tyshon, my middle name is Dwayne. So when they first did that, it hurt, but I kept the name. I rarely get it now, but I was getting it like crazy. That’s what made me come up with Ricky Wayne, but I see that now T-Wayne is sticking so it’s not as bad as it used to be. I might just stick with it. Ricky Wayne is still my other name though.

Now that “Nasty Freestyle” is on the rise and your mixtape is out, are you still unsigned?
No, no. I just signed with 300 Entertainment. They gave me a good deal. They looked out for me on the deal because a lot of new artists don’t get those big deals anymore, which they kind of hooked me up with. They showed me a lot of love. I’ve been looking at [that] place because they have Migos and Fetty Wap. You know they have some big names. So I was like, ‘I might as well.’

So looking forward what’s your next move?
We haven’t really figured that out yet but the info will come soon. We’ve just got to figure it out, slowly but surely. We just have to make sure that everything is right. It will be figured out soon.

What is different:: freestyle and choreography — ikirov.ru

Clear scheme or free improvisation? Choreographer's advice or your own emotions? Freestyle or choreography? Both have their place in modern dances. Each dancer makes his own choice, to be led or to go "free swimming" on the dance floor

Freestyle

Freestyle (English) - "freestyle". The term "freestyle" is used in many areas of art and sports, but everywhere it means one thing - improvisation, freedom from well-established boundaries. nine0012

Freestyle is the name given to skiing, parachuting, skateboarding, ball juggling and even dancing with a dog to music. In music, the term "freestyle" means improvisation in rap, a direction in electromusic. Well, and, of course, in freestyle dancing, it occupies a very important place.

This dance technique can turn on the crowd. Using standard techniques, combining them, showing artistry and interacting with the audience, the dancer becomes the center, the “battery” that charges everyone on the dance floor. nine0012

However, improvisation is not a style of dance, but a fluency in some style. In order to arbitrarily combine movements, mix movements of different styles, without thinking, but following only the impulses of your body, motor memory, you need to master the style to perfection, loosen up and move away from the framework.

Improvisation is the basis of such dance styles as go-go and hip-hop. The main thing in the technique of free dance is to keep the attention of the audience. The whole arsenal of dancers is used: body control, plasticity, knowledge of dance movements, the ability to interact with the audience. A set of once learned movements is combined into a single whole, forming an improvisational dance. nine0012

Choreography

Choreography (ancient Greek “chorea” - dance, round dance, and “grafo” - I write) is the art of composing a dance. As you might guess, dances began to be composed in antiquity, but the term itself came into use a little later.

The term "choreography" was first used around 1700 in its literal meaning - a shorthand record of dance steps. Later, the meaning of the term changed a little, became wider. Now the word “choreography” began to be understood as the idea of the dance director, the program, or, even, even more broadly, the art of dance in general. nine0012

The first dance notation (recording of dance steps) appeared in the 1700s, after the introduction of the concept of stage plans. Since the 19th century, conventional schematic figures have been used to record the dance, denoting different positions.

In the common European understanding, choreography is considered as a combination of two areas - the art of ballet and the art of dance.

Ballet is the highest "theatrical" form of choreographic art, in which the concept rises to the level of a musical stage performance. Dance is a form of choreographic art in which the means of creating an artistic image are the movements and positions of the human body. nine0012

Choreography also occupies an important position in modern dances. It is necessary for staging theatrical dance performances, mass performances. The choreography of modern dances is an attempt to achieve maximum clarity and coherence of the dancers' actions, without neglecting the brilliance of vision.

So, despite the constant emergence of new styles, modern dances also rely on classical systems, which are fundamental for staging performances. But individualists are also given a chance to express themselves. Although, probably, it is free dance that is the most ancient form of dance, which arose long before the appearance of various systems. nine0012

It doesn't matter what dance "position" you take. The main thing is sincere enjoyment of dance and movement.
