how do you write if you do?

Postby silver » Oct 11th, '10, 21:35

Do you smoke before? or write sober? if you care to awnser.

Also, something im confused about... Is there a set "method" to writing? or do you just write out ur music like you would typing a thread, just going with it like you read? or is it a step-by-step process? go back scribble this out, replace this word, these two words dont ryhme just right or what?

stupid question maybe but o welll. lol

Sober, I do smoke a hookah sometimes before I write.. I look for a beat that expresses my mood and then I start writing. The beat should inspire you to write, usually I come up with a concept or I just use a concept I had already thought of. After I'm done with a verse, I go back and see if the rhymes are where they belong and if the flow is good enough. This usually takes me, approximately, 20-30 minutes per song/verse. Really depends on my mood. I do write better during the night/evening, and I'm slowly fading away from writing on paper to using Word. Though, I still consider paper the better option. Songs/verses written on paper are so much better than typed ones.

sober always but I have otherwise. I have only written to a beat a few times. I write better when I have silence tbh. I dont always have an idea or inspiration sometime I just freewrite for 5-10 mintues and get all the useless stuff out of my head and clear my mind or get wat I want out. Sometimes I can even post my freewrites. But when I do have something I want to write about I write straight out. I dont care about structure, which allows me to just write my lines however long I hear them in my head. I know people like class and maybe Fa-Q will do like drafts and refix and re-structure to make everything all nice and neat, but this does help with the flow. I hear everythig in multis so this helps the flow when I have a line 10 syllable then a line 24 afterwards. But yeah most of the drops I have I will just write it all out without stoppin, then kinda skim through it once or twice then post it. I usually am just ready to post it I dont even proof haha

I sit down & focus on writing sometimes... (depends on what kinda mood i'm in..if i'm high or not...the beat...etc)
other times voices freestyle in my head & i write what they say
other times bars just come to me as i'm writing some shit

lol

I have to have perfect circumstances when I write lol. I can't be tired or hungry or anything like that. And if I'm in a bad mood cause of something that happened at school I can't write about anything until I get that off of my chest, that's why I have a lot of whiney, emo pieces. Also, all my rhymes have to be perfect so if I can't get a good rhyme for something then I'll just stop for that day and pick it up in a few days and see if something comes to me then, whether that's the 2nd line into a verse, the 8th or the 15th.

I'm similiar to Chambers, i write sober and i only ever write with the beat on, if the beat sparks something then the song just comes out immediately lol. I will often go back and make edits like change words to fit the flow or stuff like that, but not until i've written the entire song first.

Never wrote high. Freestyling high is fun though.

I prefer typing up rhymes. I think of lines all the time and once I have a few good ones I use them to write a 16 or something. String them together and if I can't finish it in one sitting I usually scrap it and use them some other time. Always to a beat. If I'm going for something conceptual I write it then and there, no stopping. I don't really edit or revise unless I want to record the piece and then only to fix it for my breath control.
