I tried RAP and...

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Well it has been years sincve this incident occured. Happened around 3 years back. Had been seeing too much of rap and was too excited to be a popular rapper. I had been dreaming of rapping in front of thousands of people. People were striving to get my autograph . I was driving away in a ferarri looking out of the glass. Then came the harder part ; to learn how to actually rap. I started with wrting rap songs soon to realize I was writing more of what could be called kindergarten poems. Sometimes with much effort I would sweat out to make up a rap which my friends would can more of a literature piece instead of a rap. I was nowhere getting close to writing a rap.

Then surfed the internet. Spent hours reading how to rap and write rap songs. Well one day while chatting I got an important tip ; observe and copy. Well , I started out by observing musics videos on TV. I wrote down the meaning of their songs. Then tried to convert each sentence into lyrics. But alas I was again into poetry and not rap. After a little brainstorming I found out what I was missing. The fact was that I had to use street language to rap. After all rap was an invention of the street culture.

I then started replacing all the good and smooth words from my 'poetry to rough street language and wallah ! I had half a dozen good raps.

I bought a synonyms dictionary and started referring to it often and in no time I was writing good raps. But the most essential quality for good rapping is to rap any time and every time. I mean you should be rappign in the bathroom , in the toilet whenever you are free. If you do you'll go a long road ahead of the average rapper and may rise to the top some day.
