How Do You Write Your Raps??

Postby dfg » Jul 11th, '08, 02:29

Here's A Good One For Y'all, And I'm Actually Quite Interested To Know.
How Do You (Personally) Write Your Raps..
Like, I Know Some People Write To A Beat Whereas Others Write Acapella, And Some Of Those Who Write To Beat Only Ever WriteTo One Beat Each Time, But Others Write To The Beat They're Going To Record On.

Also, Some People Can Just Think "I'm Going To Write" But Others Have To Go On How They're Feeling And Write To The Emotions They Got Going On In Order To Get A Decent Flow.

Me Personally, I Sometimes Just Randomly Think Of A Line And Think "Hey Thats Good, I'll Use It On..." So I Do, Or I'll Think Of A Line And Like It, So I Write It In A Seperate Book And Add It To A Rap Later On Then Cros It Off. I'm Also On Of Those Who Write To The Emotions He Feels, For Example, If I'm Feelin Down I'll Write A New (Or Add To) A Sad Track I'm Writing, Same For If I'm Pissed Off, Overly Happy Etc As For Writing To Beats, I Usally Write To The Beat I'm Going To Use Then See If I Can Make It Fit To Other Beats, After A While I'll Change The Beat Just For A Few Lines (As This Helps Keep The Flow Going For Me Personally) Unless I'm Insistant On Writing It To That Spacific Beat.
If It's Freestyle Tho I Don't Really Mind, I Go0 Acapella Or To Any Beat Layed Down, But If It's A Written Freestyle (On Here For Example) I Always Go Acapella.

So What About All You Lot?? How Do You Write Rap??

I usually always write cuz i am very creative. I also am weird b/c I write the same song to different beats, rock music, rap music, accapella, while listening to music with one ear bud in my ear.
oh yeah... and thanks for nothing too

Don't need a beat, a feeling or a line to start writing. I just write shit down that I feel like writing down, then I keep it going like that. And suddenly I have a song wrote down, then I get a beat that suits the shit i wrote and make it flow.

That's how I do it. :8)

I sometimes write and acapella then find a beat to fit it. And sometimes write the rap to a beat(finding the beat first). And, i know this probably isn't very efficient, but it works good enough for me for now, i don't know what i'm supposed to do, but i get a beat, write a line, and stop listening to the beat, then just go with that flow, maybe hear the beat a few more times, but for the most part, dont listen to it again.

i just need a very strong line to begin with and then i take it from there,plus i usually write some lines on my mobile and then use them gradually as i see fit,i usually write them all in a note pad or directly at the new topic screen cause that helps me concentrate.
basically a real strong opening is all i require,no beat or anything,i sually make it flow right so people dont need a beat
peace

Yeah but when your topic is too close to the heart u cant spit it.
Well I cant *blushes*, I'd have balls of steal wit somethings like if I'm buzzing
in the rhyming topic.
but I usually write with my heart and i could never show a soul that
stuff.

get a pencil and write on a piece of paper. i just throw out random lines but they all have to be same subject. then i find ways to change the lines to get them to rhyme. I write the good copy on a diff paper and throw away the old one. Im usually listening to tracks from Infinite when i write tho :D
