Tips on writing hooks?

Everything i've done up until now has either been a freestyle or a remix of a previously released song and I'm attempting growth so can anyone give me tips on writing hooks? Don't hate me, but I really am fond of hooks by Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne (Hot Boys- 2008) hooks seem to really stick with me. I'm just trying to grow as an artist, I want no criticism of my musical taste just true down-to-earth advice.

    Yeah it can be hard. Most people can do one or the other. If you got the verse down, I'd say just practice and hyper-focus on the hooks you like so you got the right recipe. If you can mix good hooks, and good lyrics there's no reason to hate.

    maximum suitable tip = do no longer do it, get a pattern, it will sound extra appropriate. yet once you need to then i think contain the call of the music (possibly), and shop it short and easy, and catchy.
