Hand motions while freestyling is also important to pay attention to. It seems to be a spontaneous action done to the syllabic cadence of their lyrics, a intuitive subconscious motion. A$AP Rocky shows us just that, the first so-called freestyle (the song Hell off his album Long.Live.A$AP) has significantly less motion than the second because it is a rehearsed. Their is considerably more movement in the second.

Intuition in Music - Freestyles
Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without interference and the use of reason. Intuition can be seen in Hip-Hop, most notably freestyling. Freestyling is the act of rapping with a mix of written lines and one made up on the spot usually in a competitive setting against another freestyler. Some might argue the made up lines could be influenced by the other battler, none-the-less the sentence structure is most likely intuitively fabricated.

i really like the thought put into the post on intuition. i knew there were different kinds of intuition but i, myself, have never really had to break it down even further. the anxiety and fuels intuition is something im most definitely familiar with, though. to whoever posted the Gas Station Intuition, im sorry! that must have been horrible. but in this case of being in class, it was a good break between the intro and the rest of the information. and it was also an excellent and descriptive story to give a real world example of the use of intuition. i really like the whole blog, and it kept my attention through the information. however, you should reread through everything. you guys were missing some words here and there, or had grammar issues. overall, great.
