He sat there, word to mother.. probably six minutes and did that verse. He didn’t know the beat was up, he didn’t no nothing ‘cause like I said he just walked in so we could talk… he sat there for about six minutes and did that verse in one take. Cam’on on Jay-Z’s Writing Process In this clip, Harlem’s own Cam’ron gives us a deep insight into how rappers write their songs in the Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne fashion.  Although rappers such as Cam’ron himself, Eminem as we’ll show you in a minute, and Drake (most of the time…) actually write their rhymes down in order to feel most comfortable when they write their songs… Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne have devised…  The “Mind Only” Method (Jay-Z, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West) “Yeah you know, as far as myself… I write, I mean I really WRITE. Wayne does this thing that’s like scary… and it’s unfair… and I’m jealous of it for a million years. He sits there and they’ll be playing a record and he’ll just be like this (leans back, closes eyes and stares at the ceiling) and he’ll be like chilling… and then get my get up and eat some candy and then do like, whatever…  It’ll take 40 minutes, maybe… if that… maybe 15. And then he’ll go like that (jumps up emphatically) and pop up and head right for the both.  And lay like one or two or three of one of the most amazing verses you’ve ever heard with lines like… what just happened? Did you just make a movie in your head like, what just happened, you know?”  Drake on Lil’ Wayne’s Writing Process The mind only method used by rappers such as Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne is where a rapper writes a pre-thought verse(s) in their mind prior to recording and then delivers it in the booth as a fully completed set of bars. This differs from the classic handwritten approach used by rappers such as Eminem and Nas or writing on your verse on your phone as Drake seemed to have done during his now infamous “Blackberry” freestyle.  FULL ARTICLE ON HOW RAPPERS WRITE THEIR SONGS CONTINUED: rapgamenow.com/how-rappers-write-their-songs-eminem-drake
