For instance, those of y'all that listened to New Drug, that entire outro was a one take freestyle off the dome, didn't think about it at all, but I loved how it sounded and kept it on there.
Would it be accurate to say that singing is like a physical instrument in the sense that practicing other artists styles and songs makes your own style come naturally, even without theory knowledge? What I mean is, as an example, when I played drums, I didn't know theory, but practicing songs by my favorite Drummers in turn helped me develop my own style, and although it wasn't taught to me, shit started coming natural to me when just freestyling. Where I would add fills, how I would string rhythms together, etc.
Now I'm noticing the exact same thing wit singing. I have no idea what I'm singing as far as notes, scales, etc., but just singing other artists so much has in turn made better melodies naturally come into my own music. I wouldn't say that my musical knowledge has improved, 'cause just like before, I have no knowledge on theory. But at the same time, I guess just from singing so much other shit, it's just a natural progression that can't really be taught. Now I find myself freestyle crooning over XO, JMSN, JT songs when there's instrumental breaks, and I actually come up wit dope shit. Same thing wit my own music, besides the main vocal melodies obviously being much better, where and when to add trills, runs, and riffs is becoming a natural reaction, rather than thinking about it. It's a dope ass feeling. I literally freestyle sang for 4 minutes straight over a beat last night and there were a bunch of dope pieces that I took apart and formed into dope cohesive melodies. Makes writing feel so much more natural.
It's definitely natural for people to have an ear for melody without knowing what scale or mode they're singing in, especially when emulating your favorites. Learning from your favorite artists is just as important as knowing theory and such.
