How to rap by an excellent rapper

Hey everyone! So today, I’m going to show you guys how to rap.

Before we get into it, let’s have our moment of silence and pray to God to strengthen our hands to work hard. 

At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and pray to God to help us in our music. Ask God to make us excellent musicians. Take a minimum of 5 minutes and pray for this. 

Now back to the show

How to rap by an excellent rapper?

Rap 

The grandaddy of all music

I personally say that the first type of music was rap because the first songs that were written in the bible were just poems recited over a melody on the harp or other stringed instruments. 

Anyways, rap is the first music that was ever created. 

It’s not to say that it’s better nowadays. 

Rap used to be good during the 60s and 70s but then what happened was that there were some terrible times that happened in the Untied States and the whole rap scene changed into thugs and gangsters. 

I right now am thinking of old rap songs that never or seldomnly cursed.

And yeah I think that was the golden era of rap. 

Anyways, let’s learn how to rap shall we?

What does rap stand for?

The word rap stands for Rhythm And Poetry. 

So naturally, it makes sense that we have a rhythmically diverse workflow and a poetic language that should surpass other songwriters. 

I would argue that if rappers were to really try hard at a song, they could write such deep songs with deep words and points of view that it would be unmatched like any other songs. 

They write so many lyrics on a day to day basis, their practice as songwriters literally defines as songwriters. 

So let’s talk about how to create raps with rhythm and poetry.

Rhythm 

What is rhythm?

In layman’s term, it’s when to play the notes of the song. 

In expert term, it’s a group of notes played in a specific sequence. 

Rhythm is deciding how to attack the notes that you are deciding. 

And in the instance of rap, you are not selecting pitches, you are just deciding when to say the words. 

In reality, you might try and decide on quite a few different rhythms when you first start out writing raps. 

But in reality, 8th note and 16th note runs played at a tempo between 80 and 120 bpms is really all you need to rap really good. 

It’s really that simple.

You could call that a cheat code. 

Don’t get me wrong, you have to use elongated notes every once in a while, but most of the time when people look at rap, they are expecting fast lyrics with passion. 

Not slow lyrics with dullness. 

They want something that will speak to them lyrically and impactfully. 

Poetry

And poetry. 

Poetry is the lyrics part of the song. 

These are the words that you will be saying 

Confused with poetry and rhythm?

You’re probably wondering “German what’s the difference between poetry and rhythm isn’t it the same thing?

No it’s not.

I’ll explain.

Poetry are the words.

And rhythm is deciding when to say those words. 

Practice writing poems and dedicating a specific writing time of your day into writing poetry. 

And you will be golden.
