How To Write Rap Lyrics......

[MR.BYTCH KILLA]

What up R.R.com,

This is my first advice tread and I think it could be very helpful to all rap artist....Read on Pimps!!!




Find a hot beat. Go to for some samples. Make sure you're feeling the beat, there's nothing worse than trying to write to music you're not feeling. Nod your head to the beat to get a real good feel of it. Think about what the beat is telling you.
Make sure the intro to your verse is strong. Set yourself up for a good rhyme scheme.
Create a good rhyme scheme; you don't always need one but it helps. It helps the flow sound more enjoyable, example: 50 cent has a bounce flow, up and down, whereas Jay-Z goes side to side. This Is important if you're making hits.
Notice that most rappers use multi-rhymes (example: Kill For, Still Roll). Put these at the end line after each bar and see how how hot your raps turn out. Count the syllables.
When you've finished the first verse, look over your work and decide on a name for your song. The rest of the song should flow with the chorus or hook and the first verse throughout the rest of the song.
Let some of your friends read it and get their opinions, and if they have any suggestions write them down (get at least three friends opinions). When you get back to your writing area, redo the song with the suggestions from your friends and then go over it and make sure that the changes keep the flow.



Tips
Write the hook or chorus in a way that makes the listener really want to hear more of the song, but make sure the hook goes with the verses.
Just like you can be a good songwriter, but a poor singer, there is no shame if you can't rap the greatest lyrics you wrote. Get someone who can rap to test it out.
Deciding the title isn't really that big of a deal, but try to make it something out of the chorus.
Make sure to take your time on the song.
If you want you can even have your friends in your song to have more variety of lyrics.
Get a good book on writing lyrics, get some ideas from those.
Usually rap songs have at least two to three verses, but as long as your song makes the point you're trying to convey and is, in your opinion, good, length doesn't really matter.

[kyle barton]

he says to start with a killer beat. a lot of times that is just a cover of some old classic. ie, you just copy the song and claim it as your own.

kind of like his post....


sorry to be hatin

It was uninformative advice anyway. Naturally you are going to want to find a good beat to write to. That's intuition. There was no mention of how to count bars, and how to construct a flow in any way. Copying information from wiki is pretty lame, too.
