How to write a rap song?

To help answer your question, I would like to know why you want to write raps. Please put the answer in your details.

Details added:

Be true to yourself. Write and flow from your heart. When writing, there are a variety of rhythmic patterns and delivery styles that you can use to follow the beat. Practice. I can give specific instructions but practice is what you need now. Get the fundamentals down pack.

Also, your non-native English speaking may be something that you should use for your benefit. God made all of us unique in one way or more. Therefore, I say embrace your accent and/or dialect. Personally, it gets boring hearing everyone sound alike. Lastly, and most importantly, follow Christ in all you do. Through Him you can speak life into the world instead of the detrimental things that we hear in most of the music nowadays. Check out the links below for some Godly-inspiration. Don't copy anyone's material though....I don't want to see you getting in legal trouble over copyright infringement. 1 love in Christ.

Steps

Start by creating a drum beat. The drum beat must be consistent throughout the whole song and effortless for the listener to follow. You always have to include a Kick and a beat, meaning it should not go out of time.

Create a bass line. The bass line has to be played by an instrument with a very low tone (Bass Synth, etc). The bass line should be in the same key as the melody so that there are no 'sour notes' and the beat is easy to listen to. The bass line should not be as lengthened as the melody line but should work with it and fit together.

Structure the song. A popular song structure would be: Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, chorus, middle 8 (AKA breakdown), chorus, outro. The intro usually consists of all the parts playing, the verse would be just the bass and the drum beat, then the chorus should be all parts playing, the middle 8 (breakdown) should be anything of your choice but must distinguish itself from the rest of the song and the outro is simply the beat just playing on until the song ends.

Write lyrics. Rap about anything but remember to write to the beat and make sure that your 'flow' is not whack! Just make sure that the lyrics match or just associate with the name of the song.

Tips

The hook should be something infectious and catchy. Listen to songs such as: "Big Pimpin" by Jay-Z, "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg, "All about U" by 2Pac, "S and M" by PMF, and "Bang Bang" by Dr Dre. The hook is basically the catchy punchline in every chorus. Like most of those songs listed, listen to the way the artist works with the beat to create a hook and do the same with your beat.

Add flavor to the beats by including drum fills (e.g. before chorus or verse, add additional bass and melody lines and make the song shine).

When creating a bass line: the bass could play a note on every kick of the drum beat.

Warnings

Don't rap about personal things that are not true. While some people might take a "I can rap about anything I want to!"-additude, it's best to really look at things before just spitting out false trash. Trying to beef up your image without doing the "work" is almost universally known as posing.

If you've never been to jail, shot someone, done or sold drugs, had sex, etc, you might not want to rap about doing hard-time, killing or maiming people, pushing or tripping out, and all the people you've slept with. This just comes back to bite you in the *** and make you look fake, damaging your image and sometimes putting you in danger.

Also keep in mind that just because popular rappers write about that stuff, doesn't make your raps any more or less "rap" by writing or not writing about similar things. Remember that creativity and vision are often valued more by fans than image alone.

Make sentences that rhyme (it doesn't matter if the sentences are grammatically correct, or if the words are really words). Talk about how tough you are, or how bad the police are, or how hard life is where you live. Steal music from a rock song that can be used as background. Turn your hat slightly, wear baggy clothing and move your hands in front of you alot when you rap ... you're guaranteed a hit!

if you plan to 'drop a hit' i suggest you to use the actual rap vocab, which is the 'black vocab' and prefer slang expressions. writing rap requires serious rhyming, and amatuers jumps through subjects in order to rhyme words. rhyming shouldnt be your first concern. your song should have a clear message and/or should have a main idea, in order to make sense.

structure is pretty easy . you have to rhyme in every 2 or 3 lines, and the general structure usually is an intro, a verse, a short chorus, a verse, a chorus a verse and outro.

i dont write rap but i write some rock and i guess you can try the same method first pick a song you like and then get the beat in your head (not the words) then chage the words to make them what you want then after you work on that start changing the beat hope i could help

think about 1 thing and see wot rymes wid it than make a sentants 2 do wid it than the last word than rhyme again if you carry on ryhiming a bout the same ting it wont make any sence at all so u have to make it last by makeing words not just ryhming all at once hears a tip listen 2 eminem and 50 and jay z they do wot ive just sed and watch 8 mile that helped me wen i went 2 contests at gigs and i went far till i went agaiset ma m8 who is a chapion in 4 rows in 4 years so i lost da but tip just watch and listen 2 rappers good luck

First you need to go get a labotomy. Then sit down with some circles of paper and your favorite box of crayons and start drooling. You should have a rap song in no time.

Alright if you've got a beat the rest isn't as easy as you'd think.

Inspiration is the best something you have experience will definitely give you fuel. Don't force it, it won't sound as good if you force it. Trust me

Or . . . you could listen to real music. Of any kind. Rap may be some sort of black youth street poetry, and may have some value as that. But it isn't music. And what they do isn't musical and aren't "songs."

This site always helped me and some of the rappers I've worked with.
