HOW TO WRITE RAP SONGS
below are quick tutorials on how to compose rap songsFreestyle rapping takes a unique combination of rhyming skills, vocabulary, charisma and presence to pull off. It can be overwhelming at first, but following these simple steps will get you moving toward the mic in quick fashion.
Listen to as much hip-hop music as possible. Just as you wouldn't try and write a novel if you'd never read one, you need to listen to a wide variety of hip-hop and rap before you start trying to make your own rhymes. Study the history and the culture of rap and try to understand the core and foundations of it. It's a living, breathing thing that you need to engage with.
Listen actively. Study other rappers' skills until you can form your own style. Copy out their rhymes and freestyles and read them as you would poetry. Studying their music is also good to find some solid beats that you may want to try rapping over.
Memorize some verses. Pick a jaw-dropper from one of your favorite tracks and listen to it repeatedly, until you've committed it to memory. Recite it as you walk around. Get a feel for the syllables and the flow of the words, the way the words feel as you say them.
Listen to freestyles. Unwritten freestyle raps from straight off the dome will probably be somewhat rougher and more unpolished than the tracks you've been listening to, but they can also be more unpredictable and thrilling. Freestyle has its own feel and listening to other rappers freestyle is a good way to learn the tricks of the trade.
Write.The more you write raps and rhymes, the more raps and rhymes you ultimately know. As you write rhymes, practice coming up with multiple variations on the same rhyming words. These clusters of rhymes will serve you well when you begin free-styling, because you'll be able to think of something quickly if you've used these rhymes before.
