Q: Spend a lot of time with the beat you're trying to rap over, internalizing the sound and the rhythm of it, to find your flow before you start coming up with lyrics. Like you write the melody in a traditional song first, you have to find the flow first in a rap song. Some rappers will do a similar "nonsense word" technique, just spitting rhythmically without saying actual words. Try to record yourself doing this, even if it sounds silly, because something good might leap out. Good rapping is as much about flow as good rhymes. If you stay on beat, it's better than if you lose the beat and Try to force awkward or overly complicated rhymes into the structure of the song. Like you might do a freewrite to start getting poetry out, trying some freestyles is a good way to get started and find a starting line to use for a song. Or, if you're Riff Raff, just record your freestyle and call it a song. There's no rule that rhymes need to come at the end of each line, especially in hip-hop, or that the rhyming word needs to be the end of the sentence. Vary the placement of the rhymes. Embed rhymes internally and skip rhymes entirely to add variation to your flow. You don't have to rhyme at the end of each line to rap well. In "Duel of the Iron Mic," GZA creates a particularly strong break in the lines, using a well placed and surprising break in the beat to surprise us: I ain't particular, I bang like vehicular / homicides, on July 4th in Bed-Stuy Familiarize yourself with the greats, listening to a wide variety of rhymers to begin learning the craft. Listen to: Nas, who jumped on the scene as a teenager with his classic album Illmatic, which featured these lines: It drops deep as it does in my breath / I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death. Eminem, whose intricate and well-crafted rhymes have made him a bona-fide king of the rap game: I'm Slim, the Shady is really a fake alias / to save me with in case I get chased by space aliens. Rakim, one of the most influential MCs in hip-hop: Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm / I hook a beat up, convert it into hip-hop form.
A: Listen to the beat and find your flow. Freestyle. Learn and use enjambment to your advantage. Listen to expert hip-hop rhymers for inspiration.

Q: Employers can administer drug testing before an employee is hired (pre-employment); on an annual basis; if there is reasonable suspicion; after an accident; or at random. Your right to contest will depend greatly on "when" the test was given. Depending on your state of residency and the time of the drug test, your rights can vary drastically. For example, random drug testing in California is not considered legally valid because of its discriminatory basis. Pre-employment testing, however, is entirely valid. An employer can terminate your employment, or restrict any promotions for "positive" results. Depending on your location, the state can deny you unemployment benefits, working compensation, and disability benefits. This is the first step to formally contesting your results. The human resources department will be able to inform you about any re-testing procedures; and will provide you with the paperwork that is required to proceed. Provide them with all of the relevant paperwork, as well as the medical forms you filled out before you took the test. The process through which this contest is handled will depend greatly on the state of employment. List of everything you consumed. Any prescriptions. As discussed above, a false positive can be triggered by various household foods, vitamins, over-the-counter medications and work-out supplements. But, a false positive can also be the result of human error and may be grounds for a retest. Mix-ups can occur at the laboratory facility where tests are evaluated. The laboratory itself may not be operating up to state standards. Testing methods may be out-of-date or antiquated. Samples could have been contaminated. If you believe that your test results are flawed, or that any of your rights have been violated during the testing process, you should get in direct contact with an employment lawyer in your area. This individual will be familiar with the local laws and regulations regarding drug testing, and will be able to guide you through any legal action that you may take.
A: Learn the different legal categories of drug testing. Research and know your rights. Meet with the human resources department. Contest the results with your employer. Contest the results with the laboratory. Contact an employment lawyer.

Q: Use synthetic hair, rather than human hair, for the box braids, as it will not frizz. Shorter, thinner box braids may require fewer packs of hair. Look for synthetic hair that is smooth and soft at your local beauty supply store or online. When in doubt, get more hair than you think you might need. You can then use any leftover hair for another style later or return it, if the retailer allows returns. Place the hair extensions between your fingers in a staggered line. Break the hair into 3 sections. Place 1 section of the hair extensions between your pointer and middle finger. Then, take the next section and place it between your middle finger and ring finger 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) below the first section. Hold the third section between your ring finger and pinkie 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) below the second section. Staggering the hair in a line will give the ends of the braids a feathered, rather than blunt, look, making the hair appear more natural. Set it aside, as you will not be using it to form the braid. You can use it later when you make new sections of hair for your braids. Take 1 section of hair and place it over the remaining section of hair so they interlock into each other to form a loop. Make sure 1 section has more hair than the other. The 2 pieces of hair should create a loose loop, where the smaller section hangs over the bigger section. You should now have 3 even sections of synthetic hair to work with.
A:
Get 6-8 packs of synthetic hair for long, thick braids. Take 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) of synthetic hair. Remove of the hair. Form a loop with the remaining hair.
