how to make a hit rap song
[Intro] Yeah, yeah (check it) Lemme show you how it's built (uh) Step in the booth, watch me spill it (let's go) [Verse 1] First thing I need is a beat that knock (boom) Eight-oh-eight in the trunk, make the whole block rock (brr) Now I come in on the one, count it off in my head Stack the syllables tight, every line gotta thread I'm flexin' in the verse 'cause the verse where you prove it Internal rhyme so slick that you barely even knew it Multisyllabic, automatic, I'm dramatic with the static Watch me bend a word in half, yeah that part was acrobatic Now I throw an ad-lib in (yeah) Right there in the gap so the pocket stay thick (uh) [Pre-Hook] Now I bring it down, build the tension 'fore the drop Let the bass go quiet 'fore the whole thing pop Here it comes, the part that loop in your brain โ [Hook] THIS THE HOOK, where it's simple and it's mean Four bars repeatin' like a broke vendin' machine Catchy and dumb so the whole crowd scream I said it twice 'cause that's how you make 'em lean THIS THE HOOK (the hook), around again (yeah) The part that you quote when you can't quote the rest of the thing [Verse 2] Second verse, switch the flow, now I'm triple-time (rrah) Faster than the first 'cause I gotta show I climb Now the beat do a switch โ (beat switch) โ caught you off guard New tempo, new pocket, yeah I'm flippin' it hard Here I drop a punchline, then I pause for the gap So the line breathe a second 'fore you process the slap Now a brag about money, now a brag about cars Now I mention my come-up like it happened on Mars Reference my own name (it's me) Third-person flex 'cause it's part of the game (uh) [Hook] THIS THE HOOK, where it's simple and it's mean Four bars repeatin' like a broke vendin' machine Catchy and dumb so the whole crowd scream I said it twice 'cause that's how you make 'em lean [Bridge] (Beat drop) Now strip it all back, just my voice and a hum Get reflective for a second, talk about where I'm from This the vulnerable part, where I show you my heart Eight bars of real 'fore the beat restart Then โ (the beat come back) โ twice as loud, twice as proud Last hook comin' up, put your hands in a crowd [Final Hook] THIS THE HOOK, one more for the road Same four bars but I'm switchin' up the flow Ad-libs stackin' (yeah) gettin' loud in the back (uh) The part you remember, now you rappin' it back THIS THE HOOK (the hook), we go out on the loop This was a rap about rappin', yeah I made it recursive, ooh [Outro] Yeah. That's the blueprint (uh) Beat, bars, hook, brag โ you got it (one) Fade me out on the ad-lib (yeah... yeah...) That was a song about the song, peace
