How to Write Rap Lyrics

Video Transcript

"Alright now were going to talk about lyrics and rhyming. Ok let me just be blunt with you’ll were just going to start with the rhyme words. If you’re new to this you just want to pretty much try to rhyme anything you can rhyme. You know, cat, hat, Sam, Pam excreta. You know cause this is you trying to build your confidence level to what you doing. Now that you know your lyrics will probably be scattered at first and have no real feeling to them. Now were going to go to my vets. To all my vets in the game when you rhyme. You want to first of all try to keep the compound syllables. This way it's not so, yea I know a whole hive full of bees. I'm gangster as can be I'm a G. You know theres nothing to it. You know what I'm saying. You want to be like I had moments in my life. I'd like to thank God. For good things like wood grain and candy paint jobs. See what I'm saying? For the fact thank God, paint jobs. You know want that isn't hard. You know what I'm saying? They got me on my knees saying oh my God. I know I keep it going these times seem hard. You know I'm just trying to continue to give you all more and more examples. It's that white boy that everybody's talking about. Locked in the south. Still moving blocks in the drought. You see the stuff these rappers rapping man it's not what they about. The next one that does a diss, track I'm knocking um out. See what I'm saying? Blocks in the south. Blocks in the drought. Locked in the south. Knocking them out. You know what I'm saying? Blocks in a drought. These are all types of things. These are you see the compound syllables for my rhyme words. Now the hard part is don't want to get caught up in being lyrical and not saying nothing. Because a lot of people have lyrical confusion and will use the biggest words. Na it's who has the best flow and who actually makes sense with the words that their putting together. So their not just like, I mean anybody can say I once had a tree and it was blue and I was cool and my Mama was true. What it do. That wasn't lyrical. It was ignorant, it was stupid, it was pointless. So when you write your lyric dig back to what we talked about already."
