The first songwriting tip is look for a beat (or write a song yourself) with a very identifiable set of notes to set it off. <\/p>\n<p>Some of the most major hits of last year began with VERY unique 10 second riffs that defined the song almost as much as the actual vocals.<\/p>\n<p>Take a second and \u201chear in your mind\u201d the first few notes of Post Malone\u2019s \u201cRockstar\u201d\u2026 Drake\u2019s \u201cGod\u2019s Plan\u201d\u2026 XXXTentacion\u2019s \u201cSad\u201d or even more recently\u2026<\/p>\n<p>DaBaby\u2019s \u201cSuge\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>2. n the early part of this decade, music seemed to be pretty \u201clush\u201d with widespread use of epic instrumentation, massive soundscapes, and an overall BIG feel with the production.<\/p>\n<p>Albums like Kanye West\u2019s \u201cMy Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy\u201d, Kendrick Lamar\u2019s \u201cgood kid, M.A.A.D city\u201d, and Drake\u2019s \u201cTake Care\u201d put the audience into what felt like a symphony hall every time we heard a new song.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the second half of this decade has been marked by simpler and simpler production, rhyme choice, and melodies. <\/p>\n<p>Compare the work on those past albums to the simplicity of more recent hits like Migos \u201cBad and Boujee\u201d, DJ Khaled\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m The One\u201d, or Billie Eilish\u2019s \u201cBury A Friend\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>3. Which brings us to an important point about technology: don\u2019t be afraid, it\u2019s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, music is getting MORE experimental. Think of the overt song breaks and tempo changes of \u201cSicko Mode\u201d, only possible with modern technology. <\/p>\n<p>Think of the eerie notes of rather simplistic songs, at least note-wise in the work of Billie Eilish. <\/p>\n<p>I myself saw this in action when I recently did a track in under an hour with Purps On Tha Beat, producer of recent hits such as \u201cHear Me Callin\u2019\u201d by JuiceWrld.<\/p>\n<p>He made a very simple beat and then had me go into the booth and just blurt out some melodies.<\/p>\n<p>After about five minutes of this, he took the melodies he liked, chopped them up, reordered them, and the added effects to them.<\/p>\n<p>Within seconds (it seemed like), the entire melody of the beat was based on what was original just singing\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>\u2026And it DIDN\u2019T sound like vocals. <\/p>\n<p>4. Which relates to our fourth rule. It should go without saying that genre-bending is the new wave of the future.<\/p>\n<p>Generation Z is finally rolling into maturity, and they are the second generation to grow up with access to every type of song in the book.<\/p>\n<p>While the Lil\u2019 Nas X example is so common it\u2019s cliche now, I would look more towards the career of the late XXXTentacion as a great example of the possibilities of genre bending as a songwriting rule.<\/p>\n<p>XXXTentacion is essentially dropped an entirely different genre on each album \u2013 one alternative rock, one rap, one atmospheric R&#038;B-pop\u2026 and much more.<\/p>\n<p>The Latin takeover has already begun, as we know\u2026<\/p>\n<p>5. Much like \u201cThis Is America\u201d, or even more recently, Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cYou Need To Calm Down\u201d\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty obvious that politically-bent music is burgeoning. Politically bent ANYTHING is big in this generation. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve often been asked who I think will take the crown from Drake as the #1 GLOBAL rap star (let\u2019s not get into a Kendrick-Drake thing, I\u2019m just saying as far as the POP \/ RAP charts go\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ve always said it would likely be someone who was a little more political\u2026 but able to do it with pop.<\/p>\n<p>Where is the next Bob Marley, you know?<\/p>\n<p>Go to the article full article the last five rules: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rapgamenow.com\/top-10-songwriting-rules-of-2020\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/rapgamenow.com\/top-10-songwriting-rules-of-2020\/<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yggcOivTL9c\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Top 20 Songwriting Secrets of Professional Musicians [FREE VIDEO COURSE]: &#8212; Today, we\u2019re going to give you the top ten songwriting rules for the [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[153,2779,4034,6737,2875,4689,1847,111,7319,1547,8851,8969,112,6738,2780,313,8970,2436,8968,8850,2560],"class_list":["post-13113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-amp","tag-10-songwriting-tips-for-beginners","tag-best-songwriting-tips","tag-how-to-be-a-good-songwriter-tips","tag-my-songwriting-process","tag-rules","tag-secrets","tag-songwriting","tag-songwriting-exercises-for-beginners","tag-songwriting-for-beginners","tag-songwriting-inspiration-tips","tag-songwriting-process-tips","tag-songwriting-tips","tag-songwriting-tips-and-ideas","tag-songwriting-tips-for-beginners","tag-tips","tag-tips-for-song-writing-lyrics","tag-tips-for-songwriting","tag-tips-on-songwriting","tag-tips-to-writing-lyrics","tag-top"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
