As a retired unsigned rapper from Charm City B.K.A Cruddy Yo I later reinvented myself by using my inner energy to hone my craft. There comes a point in every rappers life when you have to ask yourself, am I really cut out to do this? That's the harsh reality of dreaming big. Not everyone who has dreams of becoming a house hold name rapper will make it big. Some of you will actually become a one hit wonder. Hey I didn't even make it that far. So don't let my words rain on your parade, please. I'm here to help you in any way I can. I wanted to share this with those serious about the rap game.
Freestyle rap strengthens your mind. Your mind is a muscle and by forcing it to think and come up with rhymes on the spot, it gets a "work out" and becomes stronger. The longer you keep at it the better you will be. Think of it as weight lifting for your muscles, the first day at the gym you can only do a few reps, but in a month you can push out those reps no problem and have already moved on to bigger weights
Write the chorus in a way that makes the listener really want to hear more of the song, but make sure the chorus goes with the verses.
If you're unsure about rapping your own rap, ask someone else who could rap your rap for you.
Deciding the title isn't really that big of a deal, but try to make it something out of the chorus.
If you want you can even have your friends in your song to have more variety of lyrics.
Get a good book on writing lyrics, get some ideas from those.
Be real - rapping about your own life gives the song credibility.
Usually rap songs have at least two to three verses, but as long as your song makes the point you're trying to convey and is, in your opinion, length doesn't really matter.
If you ever have songwriters' block, listening to a couple of rap tunes can help give you fresh ideas.
Rapping does not have to be written, many rappers can also freestyle
Freestyling on a good rhythm can also let you jump into new ideas,and listening to other rappers rap can also give you inspiration too.
Keep your rap original. Don't copy someone else's style.
Since I'm on that 90's shit I might as well give you a taste of BWP (Bitches With Problems)
Nasty Girl's of Rap You've (Probably) Never Heard Of
I thought it'd be worth a shot in the dark to bring attention to what can be considered the precursor's (early 90's) to the hyper-sexualized female rapper that Lil' Kim successfully ushered into the mainstream with 1996's, Hardcore.
Unlike Kim, these females were more along the lines of being rap novelties; I doubt you would ever hear their name being brought up in a discussion in regards to impressive lyricisim. While Luke Campbell's 2 Live Crew flaunted their obscenity for all to hear and see from a male perspective, these brazen women sent shock waves throughout the industry by assuming the roles of their male counterparts (with a feminine touch no less). Whether they spoke of sodomizing their male partner with a dildo, willing participation in prostitution, engaging in around-the-clock gangbangs, or simply "fucking for a nut;" no topic proved too risque to be touched upon.
At a time when femcees the likes of Queen Latifah, Harmony, and Yo-Yo were promoting messages of African-American female empowerment and self-worth, these ladies threw every rule of a conventional female rapper out the window and laid on their backs with their legs spread wide open! How's that for being as nasty as they wanna be?
Thanks to ho's like these we now have your Niki Manaj's, Trina's, Lil Kim's etc...
