I don’t think so. I’ve been a fan of rap forever and can rap Eminem, Yelawolf, Tech N9ne, etc (sorry for the humble-brag) but I still stutter in speech. I think it has to do with skill transfer. Rappi...

While singing (different usage of our mouth, tongue, etc.) is shown to improve fluency, I would imagine rapping would be similar. I would imagine you would be more fluent while doing that....
