This is a video of me writing rap lyrics from scratch while explaining a bit about my creative process. Made with the help of some beats I purchased from jeejuh.com.
"With your love shower us
Cause these dark forces will devour us
We are the youth who need proof
So if you speak the truth you empower us!"
Let me know your thoughts!
1) Get a beat
2) Gibberish writing/paint a mental picture
3) Rhyme words together/find synonyms
4) Put words together/make a verse?
5) Test verse with beat
6) Edit verse?
7) Gibberish writing again
8) Test again
9) Repeat from step 2
G.O.C.F 10.put a fuck ton of auto tune
10) add lyrics about selling or doing as much drug's as humanly possibly
11) Mention the military weapons that you don't have and brag about it like you have a bunker full of them.
One of my biggest problems is that I rush into raps and expect it to be perfect. I just need to slow down and be patient
Truth.
That’s a good one for a line thanks man
I wish too and you have made my day with good advice.THANK YOU
People just keep writing rhymes all time till it comes naturally you will build up a vocabulary. Treasure them hard rhymes. As time passes you're head will fill with rhymes and bars, it's especially handy when free styling because you will have bars you can use when you can't think of anything. Practice, motivation and passion will bring your inner MC out.
that is the realest shit i’ve ever heard ✊🏾😤. and i’m lowkey noticing it too. Respects to you big bro 🥺❤️
rob kardashian with the great content, good stuff bro
😂💀
Lmaoooooo
LMFAO 😂
I’d believe it
i actually thought it was him😂😂😂😂
We are the youth, who seek truth, and look up to you, empower us.
XDDDDDDDDD
I like how you're showing us real tips and going through how you do it personally most people make up tips they don't use themselves so I respect that!!
KayLee Music thanks for sharing your thoughts !
When you turned the music on and talked I thought you were rapping but then you actually started rapping and I was like ...Oh😂😂
Hey dude, I find your "gibberish writing" tactic very useful. Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome I'm glad it helped
I love how you got excited when you nailed that last line that's how I be, love to see the passion man, great video
As a rapper who has already put out music, this really helps a lot! Thanks man, I appreciate it. Back to work now to finish writing my upcoming songs with these tips, thanks!
2:53 sounds like he was freestyling
I had so much fun watching this😂😂..especially the ending
Re: "this is way too long, I don't think anyone's going to watch this"... Not true. I watched it! I liked it! Liked it all the way through...
appreciate the insight. very inspirational. very nice dude as well.
Your last name is my dad's first name. I'm Egyptian. This was really helpful
LION S take your time never rushdy process
@@outofbody6797 Beautiful.
I had a drumline instructor who incorporated tabla into our performance, and we did learn the whole rhythmic speaking its pretty fun and challenging.
man thanks for sharing your process, It helps build my own
bro you legit just cleared my writers block this is exactly how i needed to hear it thank you!
We are the youth that seeks truth so put it to use and empower us
Thank you Sarah
I love the deep and meaningful concept you've come up with!
My first thought when you said "flower dust" was keef
nice freestyle right there man :)
midi signal thanks !
yo dude this was a really great video, worth the 17 minute watch.
really helped me out, thanks!
1:28 “it’s important to nod your head” this foe🤣🤣
ironic how at the end he says "probably no one's gonna watch this" and i watched it to the end. im a producer and i never really liked rap but this was such a good video. because with this knowledge i can create better tracks for people to rap on. cheers m8
Ayyy thank you . Glad it was helpful and yeah I really thought no one would find this interesting and helpful lol 🤣
I like the old school way
u kno
writing your lyrics with pen and paper
Man You r awesome ... I loved the honesty with which u made this video and secondly i got lots of tips which will give me a good puch ... Thanks a lot ... and u r right abt the tabla
Thank you. I'm happy that this helped a bit.
I watched the whole thing homie!
Thank you🙏🏻
lol I watched it Don't ever Doubt your self Keep up the hard work and great tutorials
“Give the power back, empower us”
Literally thought this dude was flithy frank for a sec
I thought I was the only one who Googled stuff that rhymed to see if it's "a thing" lol
Boundless Beats dude same
Boundless Beats i did thats shit too
same here, everywhere around the globe ppl do that
Just use the website rhyme zone, its better than looking everything up on its own
@@hennessydavies3851 Ye I use this website as well. Good stuff. But remember: Not every rhyme is shown there.
love this playful approach!
Wow man really talented 🤗 great video 💯
Dot Onyx glad you like it!
This is amazing. You are very underated.
Good work great video man 👍
Found this extremely helpful. I struggled with gibberish because I tend to rush into raps expecting to be able to grab creativity and lyrical genius out of thin air, but this reminded me to take time to actually fine-tune the verses to fit the beat. Thanks man!
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about how the process works wish i would have learned this when i was a lot younger 😒
gonna write a rap called hazardous
its gonna be lit
Done yet?
Waiting.......... 😐😐
Still waiting
10/10 video
this is really cool man - having my first go at writing! Thanks for the tips!
I see u have a lot of rhymes in your vocabulary. Im struggling with that. How did you train your rhymes?
Tim Bernhard great question! ..ill make a video :)
Karim you aint gotta make a video for this. you can answer this in 2 words. rhyme dictionary. plenty of them online just google it homie. and honestly dont worry about rhyming till you have a vocabulary that's worth a damn. plenty of rappers have picked a dictionary up and just read that shit like a book. gotta git that grind
The same way you learn anything. Practice. The brain trains itself to be better at what you do on a regular basis. Make list of words that rhyme then write and freestlye with them. If you are worried about not making sense don't worry about it. The brain also has a need to make sense when talking so after a (long) while of doing that you will start to make concepts that make sense.
Well there are some exercises that can be done to increase rhyme vocabulary. Reading and using a dictionary or rhymezone.com are also fantastic resources. I've been super busy in life but am excited to share some of the exercises I've done that help. I also agree that practice is key.
Hey Tim Bernhard, I finally got around to answering this question in a video. It's at the end of my most recent upload - I share two methods that I've used over the years to help train the rhyme vocabulary. I hope it helps: ruclips.net/video/JdrQKr5Lk50/видео.html
Thank you for sharing your creative process. I learned a lot from this one video alone. Thank you for sharing your art :)
We are the youth who seek truth confessing our sins inside that booth so god can empower us
Jerumiah Barilla, awesome dude loved it
Good stuff homie, i think that first line is dope and the second sentence could be a separate bar.
Alastair Sides I found a shit ton of acronyms and Italian restaurants like that

I love that internal rhyme brother keep at it 💛💛🌎🌏🌍✈✈👑👑
Bro gibberish is the key
..your totally right its all rythmic.tought I was crazy out here lol but yea bro you got talent man keep up that creative process ma..
I’ve been locked up a long time and been rappin a-cappella since 2002 and realizing all my dope a$$ lyrics aren’t fitting into beats. I was in a studio last night, im thinking about condensing my Songs to fit in the beat, but I’m also Rhythmically challenged and playing rhythm phone games, bought a shaker egg, and thinking of taking an introduction into music at college. People that say rappin is easy that never created nothing got their head so far up their a$$, but I digress; good video
You’re awesome. Much love bro
I love this lesson . I am going to us for the youth seminaire bahai. Tanks we love you. Hope tosee you on day.
Great vid and I also got "who need proof" just as you did. I use a similar process naturally.

LOL
Learned a lot from you
Keep making more
Thank you
Dude, thanks for sharing. Not sure if it’s intentional or not, but I extra appreciate you being consoling throughout. The process is the process and enabling flow is so much more important than self judgment in the middle of it. This was both very endearing to me, and motivational to watch. I’m excited to see more from you, while I keep exploring myself through rap, too. ^____^= Keep it up!
Linda Kim so happy to hear this has helped you! Thank you for sharing
I have a way to put flower dust in a song
I think about things like. how I must. grow a fan base like I showered us. in flower dust. let my lyrics in power us. as my flow devours us. yeah we are the youth. who need proof. for what's the truth. yeah us younger people don't have a clue.
THANKS for this unique way of writing rap lyrics man! Ima give this a try . What was the last 2 beats you couldve used called?
hey I'm glad you like the technique, it's how i've been writing for years now. let me know how it goes for you! I totally forgot what those beats are called. if you look on jeejuh.com you should be able to find it after some searching. i can spend hours on their site...i think i need to work for them lol
(I’m new to rapping so this might not be what you’re looking for, but I’m gonna try my best to answer anyways haha) There’s AAAA (everything rhymes) AABB (the corresponding letters rhyme) ABAB (again, corresponding letters rhyme) AAXA (X rhymes with nothing, but the others do) and AXAA (the same as AAXA but in a different order)
Came here looking to improve, found out I wasn’t the only person using this technique. Excellent video. I watched and listened the whole way through.
Thanks for the amazing video bro. I was looking for a video that explained the process. This is one of the best ones. What about finding tunes any tips for that?
This was super helpful 🔥👌
Love this video 👌
I know how to write and everything but I don’t like my rap voice, my normal voice is fine and everything but when I try to rap it just doesn’t sound good imo. I know how to control my breathing and everything but I don’t know how to control how my voice sounds if that makes sense
Narmy of Narnopes yup I totally get that. I think we are all on a journey to find our voice. One thing that has helped me is actually by doing impersonations. Try to speak like Kermit the frog, matching his intonation and cadence. Then try another distinct voice and so on...this is not only fun and can potentially provide hours of entertainment for you and your family/friends but it helps build the capacity to control how your voice 'sounds' which in turn helps advance on that journey towards finding your own unique voice.
Narmy of Narnopes I feel you pain I struggle with the same damn thing...
Karim Rushdy hey I really like that idea as well!
Narmy of Narnopes i used to not like it too, but I got used to it and people tell me that I have a great voice, so I think it’s more in your head
Narmy of Narnopes yo bruh everyone so every rapper didn't like their voices. But yu have to put More energy in it when you're rapping or singing first of all. Use your phone recorder to. Begin to love your voice. Bro. Soon as you Fall in Love with your voice. Then order people. Will appreciate it too.
Wow bro I Fn Love you bro. You have liberated my thoughts
Goldmen Stacks hehe glad to hear it!
Great video. I use the same technique. I wrote one complete song like a couple of months ago and now I'm working on a new song again. I have one verse down. Working on the rest. I came across your video and it gave me the much needed inspiration again. Thanks a bunch.
ABHISHEK MUKHERJEE you are welcome I'm glad it has helped you!
Your freaken dope eminem would be so proud . You have good vocabulary
Shower us with the flower dust/ of the canni-bus (cannabis)
Andrew Orton or maybe 'sour stuff' ;)
isnt canni-bus a rapper already? he could make subliminals
TheRefiper true- but I was getting at the plant
double entendre
Andrew Orton I like that 🌾🌿
Guys
Should I drop my next song *Hazy* with the album
Or as a single
Single
This is awesome thanks for sharing some of your creative process! I've been writing/rapping for a few years on and off, but certainly consider myself an amateur still. I've basically taught myself everything so far, just using my favourite hip hop as a guide I suppose. For some stupid reason I've never thought to search for tips or gather insight into how other rappers approach their writing until just now!
Your video is exactly what I've been searching for, something practical that actually focuses on thought process, and runs through things in more detail - not just general tips and tricks.
One thing I found interesting is that we a very similar way of doing things, I always doubted myself and often wondered if I'm doing it all wrong. So it helps to see that someone else working in a similar way.
I find often myself doing that mumble/freestyle rap, essentially focused on the flow to the beat (except usually I do it in my head) whenever I first hear a beat I feel. I've always thought of it as silly and pointless, and never properly understood how useful it is. That freestyle flow is always hot but then when I write I get lost in lyrics and the flow usually ends up totally different, boring, and repetitive haha. Definitely going to pay more attention to that from now on thanks to your video!
One last thing, could you kindly share more details about the beat at 2:25 with the nice little head nodding vibe :D
This is super duper helpful. I will be struggling to do the essential “Gibberish” step. I must empower myself do do the Gibberish! I now know where my growth challenge is. Yaaay!
okay that's enough also rhyme see
POWER OF RAP FLOW
Damn u go in, I’m working on my own verse to add on my boys song, I’m usually a good writer but for some reason I got stuck and keep redoing it so your video gave some inspiration on some ideas to use while writing lyrics thanks
You're welcome ! Glad it was helpful
That gibberish could so be a hit yo! This will definitely up my writing skills for my techno punk rap pieces! Thnx for posting! XOXO
Thank you Karim! After watching this helpful video, I'm feeling ready!
Aye man this helped so much!! i was in the writers block, but just as i finished watching this video, i tried your method, and it worked like crazy! The only difference was that instead of plain gibberesh, I kept a theme for whatever I was spitting (wrote about my writers block) Here is the thing which I wrote, its really spontaneous and I didn't edit it much, but here are the results which I got
Surrounded by a huge heap of crumbled papers
Got roughly a hundred haters
But I don't stand up for myself and fight
Cus everything they talk bout me is justified
Drowned w self doubt in this sea,
Along with the other MC's
Who spit fire with such ease,
Make me look like a fool
I'm worse than the guy who raps in his bathroom
Seein others, they got bars as if t was a blessing
Working hard, no results, this thing is depressing
Still wakin up optimistic,
Take the pen sayin I'll put my all in this bitch
I hope i'll see, the light, I'm tired now of even living bruh
I don't even wanna breathe, I'm giving up
Cryin at night, cus I couldn't find, a good punchline
To complete a verse, seems only in my dreams,
that I'll succeed
This is so raw I love it. Gibberish flow is a great strategy good looks
Lyrical miracle spiritual swimmin pool Lyrical miracle spiritual swimmin pool Lyrical miracle spiritual swimmin pool
Full of drool, and installed in my living room
At times I will rap some things that make no sense but they turn into good lyrics. I'm also good at freestyling, so that helps.
I like that you use your phone for everything cause i do too
Watch me lead the youth, who seek the truth....You must believe in yourself before they believe in you....
You're right about the Indian Tabla.
We are the youth
Who seek truth
Leading all these troops
Empower us!!!
One of the best videos I have ever seen, good knowledge gained, keep it up!
thanks for the love! great to hear that its helpful.
@@KarimRushdy whats the beat name bro of the one u used?
I watch your video to the end, lol.. thank you for the information and teaching. I am currently doing a reaches on how to rap. like wow.. your video gives me a lot of information. keep up the good work!! Love it !!
Gibberish is one way. Creating punchlines and trying to connect them is another way. Freestyling is essential and its even better if you do it around other rappers because competition brings an edge
Dude this was pretty cool. To get inside of your mind and how you are thinking. I really enjoyed it
Great Job
I'm now becoming good rapper
Him: nodding your head is very important
Me: ok
My head: stays still
My foot: goes off
"Woahh...I like that" - Karim
Can you explain the gibberish rapping of the cadence and tempo that you did in this vid?
magna dinosaurum qui RAPTUM hey so the cadence of my voice usually follows the chord progression of the song. I didn't think it did but it does most of the time and the tempo has to be locked into the tempo of the music. It can go double time or half time or normal speed and nothing else.
Karim Rushdy i have a question bro, how do you get lyrics in the gibberish rap flow. I have a hard time getting lyrics in my gibberish rap flow
@@darealvonnomusic2136 count syllables. Find a flow, count how many syllables and continue the pattern.
To make it simple just say whatever thats on your mind it doesn’t have to rhyme just say words that fit the beat once you find the the cadence replace the cadence with actual verses
I make my raps by going on thinking of a subject and once I dont know what to write search the last word you used in a rhyming website and find the word that makes sense with what your writing and add your own words
You have my follow.i love your attitude and u got my attention and this is my type of friends i want to be with great attitude.❤️❤️❤️India
Boy Your Way Of TEaching IS Goood By The Wayyyy
We are the youth who seek truth and you are the proof so go ahead and empower us!!!
Juaton Adams hehe 💓
Karim Rushdy we kinda think alike lol but great video, thanks for sharing.
Karim Rushdy you got an Instagram
I watched the whole vid all the way through thank you man!
Can you please make a video about rap music song structure WITH EXAMPLES?
I can't find a video like that.
nice one, keep busting these bars bro.
I find myself daydreaming often
Lost in my thoughts of how to solve the problem
One things for sure intoxications not an option
Lessons taught and learned from taking losses
I'm making progress in the process of carrying the cross, yes.
Pay a pretty penny for the garments
Crest across my heart
Materilism drives a hard bargain
I've racked up thousands in credit card charges
Developed an obession for incessant shopping
I dress well but left hella spiritually starvin'
Ridiculous I'm pitifully trying to heal my wounded heart
I'm flawed and awkward my mental scars
Cause me to feel withdrawn, bizarre and
seldom talkative
Im compelled to face each obstacle and conquer it
Run the gamut armed with my infinity gaunlet
Conceit is for the weak
the strong all have one thing in common and that's confidence
I like to think i'm quite unique
But the truth be told i'm far from it
These tarnished words are just the garbage that's heaped underneath the rubbish
I put more love into the prayers that i say to God whose high above us
Beautiful !
@@KarimRushdy 😁👌
This is amazing great video 👍
Super good lyrics bro.
I subbed I like u already The tips helped I’m 10 I’m good at making raps for my age
Fuck yeah! I love this, so helpful. I've been thinking on getting into rapping and tryna get my 2 best mates to start also. Funilly we have found we can spit freestyles only just this year while we were drinking together one night and it turned into a regular thing what ever the occasion just for fun and we have realized we arnt shit at it LOL! And after watching this it has motivated me as i used to write abit when i was younger but would never even rap it..
Anyway again thank you so much and im going to share this. Much love from Australia brus!!
Hey! Definitely keep going at it, can be fun and exciting for a long time!
I need to get my vocab in check, this is giving me something to work with...thanks bruv'
