In today’s video, I’m going to explain several common ways this happens so that you know what to look out for so that your rap lyrics stay very well balanced which will help you write better rap songs.

  1. Yeah, everything in lyrics is a trade-off. Your meaning, rhyme, other poetic devices, and flow are all in opposition. You could go ham on rhyming if you're willing to just say nonsense. Or you can say exactly what you mean if you totally neglect rhyming.

    I think every song plays a role and not every song needs to play every role. Some songs can be optimized for live performance, some can be optimized as singles, some can be optimized to be used on IG reels or ads, one can be your dense rhyming song, one can be your speed rapping song. Having different songs that prove you can excel in different areas can show that you check many boxes as a skilled rapper. But probably the most important role for most of your songs to play, business-wise; is that your song be streamable, not skippable, a vibe, and fit into popular playlists.

  2. Yo Cole I'm slowly building up my rap career by learning how to write something great so that I can really get into it also I'm thinking about working on some of my songs with my friend Jackie being that she'll be the singer I've heard her sing numerous times and she's got a beautiful singing voice it sounded like an angel from the heavens that's how beautiful her voice is when she sings Ik I'm thinking about doing that but I didn't get to that yet I'm taking baby steps but don't worry if I can practice everyday then me and her can work on some music together

  3. Yea, freestyle session in effect, u wanna bet? U better check the technique, my style so unique when I speak I leave you seekin for the vet.
    You sick puppy, Hush, I got more flava than a fkn slush puppy,
    You'd be luck as fk if you ever got to hug me,
    Cos I'm so cold-hearted marshmallow don't toast or roast on the fire when you're nearby me,
    Cry me a River, shiver, I deliver a pipe to that chick robin quivers,
    If you know what I mean,
    I'm keen to rip off those jeans n get up in that azz like grass, like a Spanish lass sayin thanks, Gracias!

  4. Dude I've learned so much from you. I've become infinitely more creative with rapping and music in general. Once I watched your Five Pillars Of Rap Video a while ago and learned that Rhythm is the main pillar that everything else builds off of… This literally changed everything for me. Without the flow and without scatting random gibberish everything feels more tedious less passionate less quality and less structured. I really feel inspired to write and produce my own shit almost all the time now. I believe everyone has the potential to tap into their Musical Genius. Knowing why we're rapping and having the burning desire to reach our peak potential is essential. Thank you once again man!

  5. Hi cole im from Brazil, you just chaged my life this last weeks. I made 5 full musics in 5 months. After seeing you 4 bar tech, "how to study your rappers", structure, "punchlines" ,cadences. I just made 5 full musics with hook in 3 weeks. Now i got 10. All the beats that i couldnt rap on them was just my perception and my sylaves and my bar perceptions. You changed my mind dude. There is a science behind those schemes. Off course we have other videos in YT but you tech like a PRO
