Follow The 75/25 Chorus Rule

The 75/25 chorus rule dictates that roughly 75% of your songs should BEGIN with the chorus.

When we say begin, we mean that the chorus should be the first vocals that the listener hears.

There are three main reasons this is a crucial songwriting tip for rappers who want to make catchy songs:

Easy To Remember = Catchy
First, if a future fan of your song can easily remember the most well-known part of your track – the chorus (also known as the hook) – they are much more likely to call it “catchy”.

Whereas us as rappers really dive into the science of rapping and bars, the fan who will will spend their entire savings on your concerts, streams, and merch often will simply define a “hit” by if they think it’s catchy a.k.a. memorable on the first listen (or not).

What better way to be seen as memorable and catchy than introducing them to the most repeated and repeatable part of the song from the very start of the track?

If Fans Can Repeat It, They Can Remember It
And that right there is the second reason. If someone has heard the most iconic part of the song from the very beginning, by the time they’ve hit the end of verse 1…

They’re actually going to be listening to your chorus a 2ND TIME because you’ve already begun the song with the first chorus.

The best part? Fans don’t even notice this simple song structure trick because they spent the beginning of the song just getting in the mood and waiting for the verse to start.

We bet you didn’t notice that of 18 musical tracks on 50 Cent’s legendarily catchy and soon-to-be diamond selling album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’…

A full 13 of them (72%) start with the chorus (including all of the singles such as “In Da Club”, “21 Questions”, and “Many Men”).

  4. It’s hot today
    look it’s not for play
    Get in my way
    U get shot today
    Ya smell weed ya smell me
    Causin mayhem thru the streets of phx
    Wit that 357 chrome tuck
    Ready to fuck
    put it to your dome
    Et phone home
    Like bet I got u
    Ridin around bumpin bun b
    Wit that phat heat
    Bitches in the back seat
    Bouta pull up to the trap house
    Wit a pocket full of bomb Buddha
    Whoda known I’d blow up
    Before I showed up
    Wit my itchy trigga finga
    on the hamma
    Cocked locked and ready to pop
    Feel my beat or feel my heat
    Put that shit on repeat

    But none of it rides the beat

  13. You know I have about 2 albums worth of songs but I've never released any.15% of that I was really just figuring out what my styles of rapping were and finding my rap voice.After I noticed/realized that I can write and record songs that everyone( that I let listen to them) likes or think is?in 30 mins or less. For 2 years I've been listening and taking the advice given by Drew to heart and embedded them in all my songs. It has really helped me become a great rapper and freestyler.I owe it all to Drew. I'll be dropping a song soon so I'm gonna send the link to my channel. My mom and dad don't want me to be a rapper but I'm going for it anyway?. Wish me luck!!!!!
