?? HOW TO WRITE LYRICS LIKE JAY-Z IN UNDER 60 SECONDS: ??

“Space Travel”

One of the first lyrical secrets that Jigga uses in order to, what I call “cover a lot of lyrical ground”, is what I think of as “space travel”.

Space travel is where a lyricist takes images from different eras or locations of his or her lifestyle and describes them tightly together in just a few bars…

…In order to illustrate years, even decades, of their experience in just a few short words.

We’ll be giving a LOT of examples of each step in this video, so keep reading, but as a first quick lyric to show you what we mean, consider the first couple of bars of Jay-Z’s classic street anthem, “Hard Knock Life”:

“From standing on the corners bopping…
To driving some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
For dropping some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
From the d*** spot, with the smoked G****
Fleeing the m***** scene… you know me well”

Now notice there – Jay-Z has described both his current massive financial and critical success as a rapper while simultaneously describing in vivid detail what his life USED to be like… during his hard knock life in just FOUR short bars.

The reason takes a lot of skill and why Jay-Z is considered an innovator in this regard is that most average or amateur rappers take entire verses, sometimes entire songs to cover the same amount of “lyrical ground”…

…While also not making it as catchy.
