Description: "Rappers can 'rap' – they can make words sound like they rhyme or sort of rhyme, but to write a song is what they should learn how to do. They’re not giving people record deals for freestyling… they’re giving songwriters deals… and it’s hard enough as it right now… that’s a good example of a full, well-written song…” - Mopreme Shakur (2Pac’s Stepbrother) Discussing “Dear Mama” ---------------- The Top 20 Songwriting Secrets of Professional Rappers (FREE VIDEO COURSE): freestylefortnight.com/top20songwriter ---------------- The Top 100 Keywords Every Rapper Must Know (FREE HOW TO RAP DICTIONARY): freestylefortnight.com/top100 ---------------- TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 2Pac's Stepbrother On How To Write A Rap Song Like 2Pac 1:09 #1 Write With The Full Song In Mind 2:24 #2 Deliver On The “Promise” Of The Song Concept 3:43 Free Songwriting Course 4:23 #3 Straightforward Rhymes, Complex Thoughts 6:19 #4 Fill Out The Vocal With Doubles, Triples, and Ad-Libs 6:44 2Pac All Eyez On Me Acapella 7:41 Free How To Rap Dictionary 7:58 2Pac On How To Write A Rap Song Quickly 8:55 #5 Quantity Leads To Quality 10:00 Comment And Pick Up Your Free Courses ---------------- FULL ARTICLE ON HOW TO WRITE A RAP SONG LIKE 2PAC: rapgamenow.com/2pac-how-to-write-a-rap-song As YouTube’s #1 most subscribed channel on learning the science of how to rap, we have a lot of catch phrases we like to give our audience in order to help them better understand how to write a rap song. One of our most enduring mottos is: the full song is the currency of the music industry. What we mean by this is whether it’s a fan on the street who will spend their entire savings on every new project you release or it’s a power music industry insider who wants to put you on the game… …The truth is rap artists are judged by their ability to create full songs with concepts, catchy choruses, and memorable phrases more than just their ability to “spit a couple witty bars”. Mopreme pointed this out in the previous quote, and we can see this exemplified not only by songs like “Dear Mama” that Mopreme talked about… …But take a second to think of 2Pac’s most iconic tracks. “Changes”. “California Love”. “Keep Ya Head Up”. “Hit ‘Em Up”. “I Ain’t Mad At Ya”, and so on. Every single one of them has a specific concept (such as “I Ain’t Mad At Ya” or “California Love”), a simple repeatable phrase (do you have any trouble remembering what “California Love” or “Changes” is about?), and step #2: Deliver On The “Promise” Of The Song Concept Many rappers such as Lil’ Wayne and Eminem have verses and songs that cover a lot of random lyrical ground, jumping from topic to topic without a thematic through line. This isn’t a diss, and in fact songs like Eminem’s “Role Model” and Lil’ Wayne‘s “A Milli” are some of the most entertaining and iconic rap songs of the last 25 years… However 2Pac was more known for his direct-to-audience style of song structure and lyrical direction. Think of a track like “I Ain’t Mad At Cha”. Every single verse develops the over all concept of the song that 2Pac is not bitter or resentful at a loved one. Verse 1 talks about a friend who has become a Muslim even though 2Pac is still in the streets… Verse 2 talks about a homey he grew up with in the streets who he wants to hold it down while 2Pac goes to jail… And verse 3 talks as if ‘Pac is the one still in the streets and his friend that he ain’t “mad at” is went from “nobody to the big man on the block” as the song says. In each case, the verse is “delivering on the promise” of the song title and concept. You can see similar “point-of-view” based verses in 2Pac songs like “Keep Ya Head Up”, “Me and My Girlfriend”, and “Baby Don’t Cry”. So, if you are attempting to gain knowledge on how to write a rap song like 2Pac, experiment with multiple points of view, one for each verse.
