What can I say, when you have such extraordinary talent. Speedbagbard, Would you please slow that down and explain, your mentoring skills are great.

I'll try to give a more comprehensive answer when I've got some free time, but my initial thoughts going into this were:

1. Use the Forward Circle Punch (FCP) and linking to establish a base rhythm that is simple.
2. When the instrumental section goes into either the rap or vocal parts, try to mimic the articulation of each word in sync with the speed bag. This is to provide more snap to each sung/spoken word. Most of the combinations I use here are strings of low-power but chainable techniques, like little bitty Legos. Or a patchwork quilt with very small squares. This forces me to use techniques with only a single rebound in between each hit. Delicacy and precision are key here to match the cadence of the vocal lines.
3. Use spins/traps to reset the rhythm of the song. I try to intersperse these in sync with the natural stopping points within the song.

For #2, I use a combination of compact fist rolls, phantom punch-based O-TES hits, and elbow dribbling to produce those echo patterns that allow me to maintain a consistent rebound sound while allowing me to flow into different parts of my body orientation for expression.

I have to tell you my brain does not work that fast, so I had to read that three times before I could put it all together, what a beautiful break down of the "ART". Thank you and Enjoy!
