The recording studio for your favorite rapper is like a hospital for them to give birth to their new ideas.
But before they became pregnant with hit songs, they had to find a comfortable way to mass-produce them.
Microphones, drum machines, computers with digital audio workstations, and monitor speakers are just cold pieces of equipment.
It takes creativity to warm them up.
Are you ready to get your own newborn musical babies out of your brain and into the world?
Don’t let the intimidation of being new to the recording process stop you. Check out how rappers record in the studio to help you find your way.
#7 Pen and Pad
Before songwriting was done with minicomputers in our pockets called smart phones, a simple pen and pad of paper were the tools of the trade.
Even as the advancements of technology escalate in the music industry, some rappers still prefer to unplug from the digital world and use
a handwritten approach.
Eminem is one such rapper who has his manual labor with ink and paper to thank for his 9-figure net worth.
“I write, and write, and write until my brain hurts and I write every day. I have a rhyming disease. In my head everything rhymes. Something about the pen and paper to me is better just because I can look at all of my ideas and I can see them at once… For me, I remember which side
of the page it’s on. I keep a book and write my ideas in that.”
– Eminem (Konbini, 2018)
Eminem also explained that his recording process differs from his mentor and collaborator Dr. Dre.
The producer extraordinaire Dre may sometimes plant a microphone right next to the mixing board and let the rapper run their rhymes.
Eminem prefers the intimacy of rapping in a recording booth, all alone with his words and his weapon of choice, the mic.
For his sophomore effort, Born Sinner, Cole wrote the album by hand. He was inspired to make that move after reading a book called The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron.
The author recommended waking up and automatically writing three pages of whatever comes to your mind first thing in the morning. This daily writing habit helped to pull him out of writer’s block.
It also pushed him toward going back to the nostalgic notepads that he grew up writing his raps in.
Just think about how you could create an amazing songwriting souvenir for yourself by writing out all the songs for your next album by hand with a pen and pad.
When you are super famous, that very same notebook might become extremely valuable. You won’t be able to say the same for those generic cellphone notes you will eventually lose or delete.
#6 Cellphone in Hand
Not everybody is interested in utilizing the lost art of handwriting. The glowing cellphone screens of your favorite rappers can be seen in their palms while they rock out in front of studio mic stands.
Who keeps a cellphone in the clutch when it is time to record? The highly prolific rapper Logic has plenty of songs stored on the ready inside his smart phone.
He has shared videos of himself laying down lyrics for “44 More,” as well as his “Lost in Translation” studio sessions in Japan.
Logic has a hectic touring schedule, he runs his record label BobbyBoy Records, and he writes movie screenplays and novels, like his 2019 fictional book Supermarket.
The portability and convenience of cooking up raps in his cellphone keeps his productivity up during brief pockets
of time in between his busy routines.

What is the difference from a rapper that writes all hit songs compared to a rapper that has a bunch of music that he is unsure he wanted to record.
I have rap song
Dude I’m boy and I’m teenager I like your YouTube videos and I’m rapper I enjoy to rap my Rich Richy
2022 august
I have a song that I started a few days ago titled,”Don’t miss.” When I’m having a bad day, frustrated at work, or dealing with my girlfriend, I take a few moments and just rap my song until I feel better. “Don’t miss” is my personal favorite because it’s genuine, inspiring and positive. I can’t write a song about things that doesn’t correlates to my life. Quality over quantity.
Eminem’s “Without Me”

Im 16 and I just got into writing rap lyrics I have not written a chorus yet for this song
I just jumped out a box
shot a shot from my glock
Stole that girls lovely heart
took those bands made em drop
Ima bull not a sheep
I dont follow im not weak
I got horns not some fleece
killed the devil made him bleed
I can't stop Im too keen
I aint gentel im a beast
chorus????
no one knows how I feel
cept the lord with so much zeal
tried to conceal
that I cant heal
made it worse
made it real
hearts of diamends not of steel
family freindly that's no deal
censor me so unreal
Twinz big pun
For me,I always feel nervous before recording,cause I scare my neighbors will judge me or something.
But I usually sing a slower song that I can easily sing it,and start sing it out loud after it just feel release my nervous feeling.

I ain't learn shit
my favorite songs are by so faygo, his 2019 ones, the lyrics sound good in my head but when i try to rap it it sounds so bad .
I’m a Brit, when I try rap I always have the habit of putting on the American accent instead of saying it like where I’m from.
I’m 33 id love to sit in a studio and learn all this I just love music all kinds I could be listening to hip hop then next day rock n roll next day Beethoven then drum n bass if I like it I like it.
My fav. Songs are songs from the gfunk era now that's motivation and inspiration
Can't physically write but I sure can write mentally
