Rap Beats- How To Write A Song And Make Your Own Music

One of the most common road blocks for any artist in writing a song to rap beats is getting started.  It can be difficult finding the right beat to make your own music, but with this sound advice, you will be well on your way to creating that hit single. One of the biggest downfalls in the early career of a rapper is they try to fit in with what's already out.  Understand one thing, even though the music industry tends to promote recycled beats sometimes, they will not sign an artist that sound exactly like what they have already. They need some thing fresh and new. The best thing is to be true to yourself and write about relevant things you have experienced.



When looking for rap beats or r & b beats,  find a track that's your tempo, don't get a beat just because it sounds like something that's out now. My friend Danja , can make a beat out of his mouth and a trash can, and it bangs..haha. If you think I'm lying, listen to Britney Spears or Nelly Furtado album. So basically what I'm saying is be creative with your music, and look for quality beats for sale.



Here are a few pointers to steer you in the right direction to make hit music.



1)  Belief-  This is the one step you will have to understand to succeed in life. If you don't believe in yourself then no one else will. You will labeled as not serious and need time to grow. This is why you must practice on your craft, so you will be ready to hoop in the booth and lay a quick 16 bars  with no problem.



2)  Instrumental-  You have to find a dope beat that matches your tone and style so rapping on the beat will not be awkward. You can check out free beats if you are on a low budget, or different beats online for sale. Find a good riding beat!



3) Song Pattern-  The pattern of a song can always differ according to the creativity. One common pattern for rap is, a 4 bar Intro, 16 bar verse, 8 bar hook, and repeat a couple times, but you can always change this up a little bit to add excitement in the beginning off the song. You always want to have your hook at least eight bars.

Hip Hop Beats- Rap and Hip Hop Has Came A Long Way

If a person was to go back and listen to hip hop back in the 80s and 90s, they will see that rap music has came a long ways. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan of Hip Hop and a lover of soul music, but the message from most artist today is very repetitive. How much can a person rap about drugs and sex?

Even though music back in the old days were based off the same things, but at least they did mix it with a positive message. Today, the whole message is YOLO, which can be destructive towards the youth, because if we have no youth then we have no future in hip hop.

Don't get me wrong, there are many hip hop artist doing their thing in a good way, but we also have a lot of foolish and retarded music being put out to the public. Rappers should really listen to their lyrics before recording because you don't want a bad message being relayed to the public. Your voice is a powerful tool, use it with respect and be creative.

Here are three Hip Hop tips:

1) Write Relevant Content- What I mean by this is, when you write your lyrics, talk about things that are relevant in the world today. If your lyrics is about something that the public can care less about then your record will get trashed.

2.) Speak Clearly- Even though there are many artist that has sold platinum records and you can barely understand them, its still best to speak your words clearly. Some words may require a lil slang to make it sound tight with the beat.

3) Ride The Beat-  This is a million dollar tip right here. If you are trying to make a hit, which I'm sure you are, then you have to practice " riding the beat". Any track that you record to will have a certain rhythm, and its the artist job to capture that rhythm and let your lyrics ride with the beat. The worst thing you can do is get swallow up by the beat, this means the beat has more energy then your lyrics.
