How To Rap

How to Rap: Rap is a complex mix of influences, including elements of speech, prose, poetry, and song. Learn to rap by listening to the masters, learning rhythms, and practicing your own lyrics. There are no shortcuts, and you won't sound like Kendrick Lamar overnight - but if you put in the hard work, you'll be rewarded.

Listen to lots of rap: If you want to rap, you've got to immerse yourself in the culture and the sounds of hip-hop music. It's a style of music deeply ingrained in city life and culture. Find an artist you like and trace their influences back to get some sense of the foundation of hip-hop and develop your knowledge of the style. Listen to popular rap artists (e.g. Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and Snoop Dogg), listen to underground artists (e.g. R.A. The Rugged Man), listen to old-school rappers (e.g. Kurtis Blow, The Sugarhill Gang, LL Cool J), listen to complex rhymers like Nas, Eminem, Big Pun and Rakim.

• Listen to the music of different regions: listen to New York-style "boom-bap" hip-hop, West Coast gangsta rap, Dirty South chopped-and-screwed rap, and also the hip-hop of the underground. Listen to the music in your region.

• Contemporary rap music is linked to mixtape culture.[1] An online version of the old-school mixtapes is available at record stores, most rappers album-quality material is available for free download as a promotional tactic. Check out your favorite rapper's mixtapes and branch out. It's free, so you can listen to stuff you might not even like and form an opinion about it.

Get rhythm: Rapping is about more than saying something that rhymes. If you want to rap, you'll have to get a feel for the music in your bones. If your brain and body are not conscious and in tune with the beat, your rap will feel stiff and unnatural

Rap along: Memorize the words to your favorite rap song and rap along in your earphones, in your stereo, in your car, etc. Do it loud, and do it with confidence! Try to rap along until you have every word memorized and (more importantly) you can hit all the beats correctly.

Write some lyrics Once you feel comfortable rapping on different beats, start to make up rhymes of your own. No need to worry about what you are rapping about, just pick out things that you see around you. You could even rap about getting dressed in the morning, walking the dog, cooking your dinner, commuting to work, or even about a conversation you had with someone.

Learn how to rap effectively: Beyond good lyrics and attention to rhythm, there are a few techniques you can use to be better understood and get your message across.
• Stress the consonants. If you try to rap the way you talk, it won't be comprehensible.
• Keep your words clear. Pay attention to keeping your words sharp.
• Rhythm is more important than rhyme. Don't stumble or stop if your freestyle doesn't rhyme - just stay on-beat and everything will be fine.
• Be loud! While being too loud is never a good thing, it's important to both literally and metaphorically be heard.
• Think ahead of what you're rapping so you don't get stuck stuttering or searching for the words. Nothing's worse than having to stop in the middle of a rap flow.
⁃ Be able to think about your next line while still giving 100% to the line you're currently rapping.

Be real: Even though it's tempting to emulate your favorites, it'll be hard to rap about your global cocaine empire if you're a teenager from the suburbs. You don't necessarily have to tell "the truth" 100% of the time, but you do have to be real and be believable.
