Writing To A Beat

[-Green Machine-]

I dont get it...Anesthetic tryed to help me but i just cant do it...any body with experiance in writing to beats and stuff please explain...any advice

[LyricalG]

For example says there are 8 bars in the beat you are using, after either 2 or 4 you should put a ryhming word in it.

[-Green Machine-]

how am i sopose to know how many bars a beat is?

[bishtang]

if u got a beatmaker then just make a beat 2 go wiv ya rhymes.if not,listen to the beat you want 2 use and just keep that beat in ya head its actulli quite easy

I just freestyle to the beat and write the lyrics down and revise...simple as that...

[dev dollaz]

or jus dont go off beat...not that hard

evry time u rite a line or 2 restart the beat and spit it

[stunna456]

i just write the lyrics and ride my rhyme to the kick drum rhythm and snare , it takes work to get down but it works for me

writing to a beat is somthin you cant just be told..it takes time an practice to understand the right concept an get a feel of the beats flow. the best practice is freestyling i think. just practice it an u'll find ur flow soon

im quite experienced with writin to a beat.

whe u are writin to a beat, u have to know how many counts the beat has, and the repetition. u know when people go like, 1 2.. 1 2.., or 1 2 3 4... 1 2 3 4. you have to move according to the counts and go with the rythm, make it flow nicely.

and you should perfect your timin, and when to breath, listners dont want to hear you grasp for breath at the last second. cont the beat as u go along.

peace

Can someone tell me what would be a not to fast pace beat for a beginner to spit on...thanks

[DiLLi R]

okay, Green, what i do? before writing a rap, and when i know i want to write one, i just think of a beat it could be rapped to, and then i write it along the beat. so, basically, before you write, think of a beat that goes along with the topic or something, or, just think of a beat that would go really good with any rap. that's my advice.

for me i try to listens to the short pauses or slight changes in the beat. try to make my bars end at those points. Ill also take some time and just hum along with the beat to try an devolope a vocal pattern.. Hope any of this helps.

^^^werd...

i actually have a hard time keyin without a beat in the background....

a well defined metronome like bass line or hi hat drum combo helps- listen to all of shady's stuff...there is a metronome like sound of sum kind in the back of everything track and it helps mcs stay consistent with the flow and delivery...

the key is finding your own melody tho to complement the beat....you don't have to get all mathematcial about it tho...like ven said jus try and get a rhythm or flow goin when hummin to the beat and lace sum words behind it...

start out simple with a hard hitting multi combo or sumthin when the bass line hits or repeats itself, and try workin backwords from there...
