Reply to comment by MacRubys in TIL that researchers actually studied the brain activity of free-style rappers to figure out how they improvise lyrics on the go. by dark_knight1702
And Robin williams could do this at the same speed as rappers, in the sense of amout of words per second as a rapper can. Becuse if he could only deliver it at normal talking speed it would mean he has alot more time to think?

Well that just shows you know nothing about what you're talking about. rappers are now suddenly rapping at more than the speed of non rappers? It's about thinking on your feet in the situation you're in. Most of the participants of Whose Line could do the same. Not in the same league as Williams, which was aired, but still.

So 50 words spoken in a minute us the Same as 75 to 100 words rapped per minute , i get you

It's not about words per minute. People can type that. Doesn't always make sense. As I said. Whose Line is it anyway proves that that rappers aren't the only quick thinkers, as the OP suggests.

Why does it suggest that, isnt it just a select research for freestly rap, and not for all freestlye kinds?

Whose line is it anyways isn't improv. They've got a staff of writers and script producers, and each show is heavily edited to cut out the jokes that don't land.
It's a running joke amongst comedians that Whose Line is a well written show.
