  1. I have a question that there are many languages in world so how we decide stressed and unstressed syllables in them.
    I am from india and hindi language kinda have the words that most of them sound stressed.
    Plzz help out ??

  2. wow this was really helpful.. i was looking for something to create melodic rythmic tension, and so far this is the closest thing i could find… But can you explain how to solve a the tension of a rythmic pattern with a differente one? maybe using variations? or maybe the real question is how to make longer rythmic patterns (maybe 4 or more lines) without neccesarilly repeating the same patter in all the lines? where did you get this information?

  3. I usually have no problem at all writing melodies, lyrics are what gets me. I can write comedic lyrics all day but when it comes to serious lyrics I start to have issues. I typically don't even know what I want to write about and then when I do figure out what I want to write about, I can't figure out how to put it into words.

  4. Could you guess give some constructive criticism this is my first rap song pls don’t leave hate

    (Aye) (this is is for all the people that be goin’ through something whether that be a heart break, a loss of of a loved one, etc. I’m just tryin’ to make you see you ain’t alone with this pain)
    At the age of ten I had been thinking bout’ suicide
    At the age of ten I had been thinking bout’ suicide
    At 12, wondering if I should be dead
    Now I be debating whether life is still worth living or if I should blow away my head

    Verse 1
    I ain’t saying I know what you goin’ through
    But I ain’t sayin’ I have no clue
    I’m not here to talk about the “it gets better” shit because it hasn’t for me bitch
    But I do know where you are right now and so am I

    [Hook]

    Verse 2
    I’ve been heartbroken soul torn for a few hoes that were nothing
    (Heart eaters)
    Fake friends throwin’ me under the bus just for a few bucks
    I’ve lost my trust
    With the bullets all loaded up

    Outro
    FUCK!!!
    (Gunshot)

  5. Bless you sir thank you so much for sharing this this reallly gave me good insight into writing my lyrics. Sometimes I'll have a melody and I have the words but they just don't sound right and now I know why!!!!
