He’s only credited for writing one of his songs solo…. Yet he wants to diss drake for collaborating with a writer by saying drake has a ghost writer is wild 😂
All of these, can't believe I was doing some of them and not realizing. But I grew up a creative. But I do know one thing and this is being a child prodigy in the saxophone; Practice, Practice, and practice some more. Form 6th grade to 8th, those were two very different people. My band teacher expected nothing but the best and my twin sister and I were put with the best when we were only in 6th grade. By 8th, we were the best. I would put money on those kids over any adult at that time any day. But I was 9 when Kendrick was doing all this. Writing stories, articles, songs, playing music, drawing, you can use these things to do that. I do all of those. I'm going to take these and the courses. But being the best isn't about talent alone. It's the work you are willing to put into that talent to better it.
If you want to be a musical artist you have to believe you are the best out of everyone. You have to want the results more than anyone. So much that that is all your thinking about all day. And when you listen to music your not just listening your analysing and learning from other succesful artists. You know what you like. Listen to it and truly learn it. Broaden you view on music listen to all genres and listen for words or phrases you like. Listen for song topics. Listen for new ways a viewing certain things and think to yourself how could view something else in that way to create something new. Population is growing and others out there have like ideas bc we all learn the same shit. The world is only gonna get harder in the creative industry and the only way to surpass everyone else is by developing a truly unique style that nobody has heard before. Or bring and old style that nobody knows about back and creating something new with it. Keep listening to music, truly listen. Expand your musical library. Take notes in a place where you can go back and reference all the things you like merge that shit together. Make songs. Make bad songs make good songs make okay songs whatever. This will slowly but surley incease your skill of learning waht not to do. This video is on point and i love kendrik lamar, good content for sure.
I start to rap at the age of 8 but was never interested in rapping and after I turned thirteen years old or fourteen I started to sing and take rap seriously and after I heard Juice WRLD and King Von music I’ve been singing and rapping day and night till I made my first song and decided I wanted to be like juice WRLD and King Von even though I’m French I started to learn English and many things now the only thing I hope for is go to America and start my music career you feel me
I had to learn short hand I write songs so fast. I like to watch lightning storms, everytime I see lightning I write a song and it ends with thunder. One time I wrote a song after I recorded it.
my song i release in july thats slowly blowing up. To write and record took me around 45 minutes. Mixing and master took a few hours. the music video took 30 min of filming and 2 hours of editing.
Wrote a song a handful of years back in about 15 minutes. Later that year in school I had the front row singing the chorus from memory at the talent show. A very high moment for me.
This reminded me when I had people playing my music in the hallway in school and writing my name on walls I know how you feel that was a very high moment for me too 😂
My process can fluctuate. Some songs I can write in 10 mins, some take me 8 months. I've found that the quick ones tend to actually be better. The ones that take too long, I end up dwelling on them and second guessing myself.
I been rapping since 03, I’m 28 now and a 95 baby… I say that to say, I write whole songs in like 10-30 min, and I NEVER use other songs as reference or “ library “ to pull ideas, I just listen to the beat and let it tell me what words to write. Ain’t no method, if it doesn’t click instantly, that ain’t the beat or you not in the mood at that moment.

I lost at least 2 years trying to become a rapper. I started as a rapper when I was 20 (around 2000) (rapping about my views, my environment, etc). And after 4 years of hard work, I realized that I can't deliver what people like (at that time). So I tried to be the rapper that people like. That was one of the worst decisions I ever made. I lost my way. When I realized that was the cause of a lot of problems in my life, I turned back. Since then it's been a very personal thing again and since then it's back to what it should be for me. And that's exactly what Kendrick said about it. A way to understand myself and the world and to share this way with others, if that is or becomes possible. But the most important thing is what you do, not whether people like you for it or not. I've become very radical about that. Of course, it's like a game of bingo. No one can tell you if anyone will ever be interested and if you can finance your life with it. But either you are an artist or you are just a performer. That's the difference between realness and fake for me. Realness works regardless of what comes and with full dedication to the extreme. You have to be willing to do that to become professional, in the sense of being an artist, not a moneymaker. Thanks for that video and the importend message.
3-4 hours full song Hook, verse, laid down, and a premix. Was feeling so inspired that day. I’ve been working with a new group of collaborators that push me to be better every session and now I’m writing verses in 30 minutes to an hour. Gonna keep working to make that faster 🙏🏼 to everyone in the comments chasing your dreams.. KEEP GOING! Y’all got a fan in me and I love you all 💜 Peace
I've recently just started writing raps 40 hours a week because of what I saw kendrick say in a previous video and it has payed off so far started being able to write songs in one day rather than spending 2 weeks so hopefully I'll be able to get to 30 minutes
The shortest I've written a song was about an hour. This video is helping me to stop waiting for that moment when I'll hear a hit and write a banger but instead play many beats and try to write to all of them. Thank you and I wish the best for every one of you artists out there. Keep grinding! 🤙🏽
in terms of “delivery” I really feel that Kendrick and many great artists dont actually “write”…. They are capturing a message they were sent from the source of their lyrics as if they are a vessel to “deliver” that message
One of my best songs took me 4 days to write but usually i can write a song in an hour but i like to think about word placement, metaphors, entendres and rhyme scheme.

This is the mindset I have. I’m always rapping and writing. Going back tweaking verses that I thought were hot. Reshaping and reforming. Taking verses that fit better structurally on a different song and replace that verse.
Holy fucking shit Drew I hope you read this The question you asked at the end of the video: I used to watch this channel when I was in grade 2017 because I wanted to get into rap. I stopped for a bit but now my friends and I made an album for fun and I needed help. I started watching your channel again because I remembered your name. When I was making a song with my friend, I sent him my vocals so he could add to it and send back. I would then upload the song to the album. But when he sent his verse to me, I was shocked and a little embarrassed because his was so good! So much better than mine, too. So, on the day of the premiere, I re wrote my whole part on my 20 minute lunch break, and recorded it as soon as I got home. Was so happy with it I felt proud to show it off and my friends loved it. I just want to say thank you, and that your video's do work!!
I’ve been rapping for fun since like 14 but damn when I sit down I write a song it taking me like 3 weeks rn cause I got ocd I be changing shi to much is my problem
You’re either creative or your not 🤷🏻♂️ it’s that simple. Creative types have more throw away ideas in one day than a-lot people do in a year. But it’s all about execution and when you have a lot of ideas usually it’s best to go with the ones you know you can execute.
5 minutes. I found the beat surfing RUclips. Based off of the melody of the beat, I came up with a chorus and a mood to go along with it. Which made it so much easier to write lyrics because I just spoke about something I experienced. I now live my life from am "experience" perspective. Rather than achievements and accomplishments. I prefer the experience of something over trying to achieve something like being the best. I want to be the best, I want to win Grammys, but I want to enjoy making the project that can potentially win me something. It's a factor that's not really spoken about. The fact that focusing entirely on winning something blinds you from enjoying the experience of creating something.
I don’t write rap but I’m a songwriter and my fastest is probably 8 minutes. I find lyrics come easy but making music is hard because I don’t have the money to go into a studio or anything 🤷♀️
See most rappers don’t write good music, lyrically. They have a good voice which makes the subconscious fan listen to wherever they gotta say like a lil Wayne track. Most rappers melodize which makes it easy to write because it’s just a repetitive catchy tone! Real articulate rappers don’t exist anymore!
Road 2 Tha Top took me 6 months to write. "The Revolution by Stahlen" is available on all platforms. If the song took you 10 mins then you should've taken 20 mins and made it twice as good. #TheLastEmcee #TheRevolutionIsHere
In my 2 decade experience, You've gotta be able to mix feeling and thought- feel the beat the rest will follow BUT, if you like the beat but can't write anything (WITHIN AN HOUR AT LEAST) to save your life, it's probably not for you OR you should postpone the project.
If you are true to the art, it doesn't matter what the producer plays, you just write. Its a lyrical exercise. If you need a certain beat to rap then you aren't that nice to be honest. That is what made Big and Pac dope artists. They could hop on anything and just write.
I should stay off this but this is NOT true in the industry... this man has so much information that most likely won't work for you.. im an award winning rapper and engineer, so I'm not just saying this to troll.... I should make videos on how to REALLY rap and what REALLY happens in the industry for a rapper or artist in general. If you're ever in the situation he speaks about and you're Givin a time frame, they already think you're trash and won't keep your Verse anyway so DONT waste your time... also folks that lie and say they "freestyle" their verses are bs too..
I can consider myself better at dissing and learning twisted insanes song's faster. When I start writing I always think in something to diss about for approx. 30 minutes and construct everything from the poetry classical rules including philosophy, spirituality, etc... , cause I am an Spanish poet writer
forcing is bad advice. you just have to make it part of your every second and flow with it. Is the flow state. the guy that made this video is lacking perspective and missunderstood K's creative process
Wait how did u pull all of that about obsession from him saying he has a thousand unreleased songs? He been rapping since 15 years , I been rapping 2 month and got almost 20 unreleased and 3 features waiting to drop. If you love what you doing go do it

I wouodnt just go for a ft with rappers more known that me id wanna ft from the ones ima learn from n get better from. Not saying I woukdnt wanna ft from the ones popping the most cos I would who wouldn't lol bt I'd wanna be in a studio with the ones most tallented cos I swear some rappers are just diff with it mannnnnnn
these tips def work...I've used these strategies in my own way subconsciously before watching this vid. I think my fastest time writing an entire song was maybe 15-20 mins and that included 2 verses hook and a bridge. hasn't been that quick but I can still get too it when need be!
I can tell you da best around, i wonder what you look like down town... You aint know you was fuckin wit a hound, ill put you on the flo and get to actin a clown, call it ground and pound if you down you down... me im on top so i cant stop now... you telling me faster so a nigga get to drillin liiike le le le le le let me hear you SCReam... it aint ova yet bout to pull an all nighta girl dont forget
I'm the hottest producer ever I haven't been discovered yet lol but these next beats even better then these right now but you haven't heard them yet mind blowing.
COMMENT: What’s the fastest time you’ve ever written a full song?
sub 20 mins - blank page to finish
Damn near freestyled an entire song
10 minutes
0.00000000000000001 secs
20 30 minutes but I wasn't convinced of it 👀👍
He may write raps fast, but he takes his precious time releasing projects. Take note!
Well said.
It’s because he’s a creative and takes the art serious. He doesn’t just rely on lyricism lol
Too much of anything is either bad or annoying
He’s only credited for writing one of his songs solo…. Yet he wants to diss drake for collaborating with a writer by saying drake has a ghost writer is wild 😂
You know he’s crazy critical too cause he’s got countless songs that never came out that would’ve been hits for almost any other artist
It makes life fun when you're always in the zone thinking of songs
True
Yeah

even better when it's an album

I dont write rap but i do caribbean music and most it took was an hr, however the advice on writers block is a gem
I’ve been writing and beat making for only 2 years. I think my best song probably took me 30-40 minutes. Just a short 2 minute thing but yeah

I’ve been rapping for about 5 months and my fastest time for writing a rap was 40 min
I write multiple songs and might mix them together but a single song takes me a good 30min
I really needed this, I just droppwd my debut mixtape and I'm looking for inspiration for my next project
RUclips needs a heart react.
about 5 minutes. its out on my spotify. Auzy Jay - West
why would you have to write fast tho? it‘s good to be able to write fast but man it‘s not about that speed always
so that you can write A LOT. its at the beginning of the video
I wrote a song in 10 minutes before and maybe even less than that. I’d go back sometimes to tweak and edit the flow though.
Actually just finished one working on the next one lol.😁💯
Down to link with other writers ✍️ u never know
30 Minutes is my fastest time, i have 43 Songs no features… All me, from writing recording mixing my mastering and music videos
full song 4 mins all typed up its called what you want
Really helpful
One love, Fish boxed u!
wrote my fav song of mine recently in 20 minutes
some of my songs takes a years of writing, some of them only max 30min.
🔥
Ice cream, i wanna lick that hit that make my mind scream. 😂
A few days ago I wrote something in about an hour n a half
10 mins if I’m out under pressure
i think my fastest song i wrote was in an hour, including making the beat. beat toon 20 minutes and everything else took 40
Do freestyles count because I made a lot of songs off freestylin 🤔
i would say it does . it’s still getting the idea out either way
@4:28 69 diss?
1hour plus recording
Not sure it's as good as it can get but I had a song with one verse and a hook in 20 minutes
I wanna challenge myself, if anyone here can link any type beat on yt you want and imma write to it.

And I’m not being sarcastic either. It’s very rare for a rapper to be absolutely meticulous about what they do.
I can only start with 2 bars and then don’t know where to go after that
set the first 2 bars aside, and start another one then add them up.
Are you the one teaching us or Kendrick teaching us ?
They not like us
I'll see you at the top brother, and I thank you because you're a major factor in how I got to where I am and where I'm going. Bless!

This is the mindset I have. I’m always rapping and writing. Going back tweaking verses that I thought were hot. Reshaping and reforming. Taking verses that fit better structurally on a different song and replace that verse.
I like this Artist
I hope he makes it big hurhurhur idk how people do these corny as comments haha

Holy fucking shit Drew I hope you read this
The question you asked at the end of the video:
I used to watch this channel when I was in grade 2017 because I wanted to get into rap. I stopped for a bit but now my friends and I made an album for fun and I needed help. I started watching your channel again because I remembered your name. When I was making a song with my friend, I sent him my vocals so he could add to it and send back. I would then upload the song to the album. But when he sent his verse to me, I was shocked and a little embarrassed because his was so good! So much better than mine, too. So, on the day of the premiere, I re wrote my whole part on my 20 minute lunch break, and recorded it as soon as I got home. Was so happy with it I felt proud to show it off and my friends loved it.
I just want to say thank you, and that your video's do work!!
I’ve been rapping for fun since like 14 but damn when I sit down I write a song it taking me like 3 weeks rn cause I got ocd I be changing shi to much is my problem
You’re either creative or your not 🤷🏻♂️ it’s that simple. Creative types have more throw away ideas in one day than a-lot people do in a year. But it’s all about execution and when you have a lot of ideas usually it’s best to go with the ones you know you can execute.
I actually learned how to rap from this channel, I hv a beautiful voice and rapping really helped my songwriting
You have a beautiful voice? 😂
Step 1 stop writing step 2 start freestyling
5 minutes. I found the beat surfing RUclips. Based off of the melody of the beat, I came up with a chorus and a mood to go along with it. Which made it so much easier to write lyrics because I just spoke about something I experienced. I now live my life from am "experience" perspective. Rather than achievements and accomplishments. I prefer the experience of something
over trying to achieve something like being the best. I want to be the best, I want to win Grammys, but I want to enjoy making the project that can potentially win me something. It's a factor that's not really spoken about. The fact that focusing entirely on winning something blinds you from enjoying the experience of creating something.
What’s the beat surfing RUclips?
I’ve written in 30 min, but I noticed it sounds way better when I got back and tweak it, I never cared to write fast, I wanted it to be quality.
I don’t write rap but I’m a songwriter and my fastest is probably 8 minutes. I find lyrics come easy but making music is hard because I don’t have the money to go into a studio or anything 🤷♀️
bro said 20 to 30 minutes...if u cant come up with anything in 20 or 30 stop trying to be a rapper or artists period.
Haha I feel you
See most rappers don’t write good music, lyrically. They have a good voice which makes the subconscious fan listen to wherever they gotta say like a lil Wayne track. Most rappers melodize which makes it easy to write because it’s just a repetitive catchy tone! Real articulate rappers don’t exist anymore!
Sometimes 4min. Sometimes 3 months lol
I'm pretty sure I wrote my single "Sail with Me" (unreleased) in 3ish hours. It has 3 x 32 bar verses, and one 8 bar hook, repeated throughout.
It depends on how vibe to the vibe. The first time I heard Busta's "Touch it " beat, I first 3 verses in 45 -50mins
The 3rd point is 100% TRUE whenever I am honest its easy to write
Road 2 Tha Top took me 6 months to write. "The Revolution by Stahlen" is available on all platforms. If the song took you 10 mins then you should've taken 20 mins and made it twice as good. #TheLastEmcee #TheRevolutionIsHere
I wrote a banger and forgot my flow and had to change words and messed it up
I hate that 😩 What can we do ? Record it as you're writing it
the fastest I wrote, i remember was in an hour for some studio sesh with a good producer
In my 2 decade experience, You've gotta be able to mix feeling and thought- feel the beat the rest will follow BUT, if you like the beat but can't write anything (WITHIN AN HOUR AT LEAST) to save your life, it's probably not for you OR you should postpone the project.
If you are true to the art, it doesn't matter what the producer plays, you just write. Its a lyrical exercise. If you need a certain beat to rap then you aren't that nice to be honest. That is what made Big and Pac dope artists. They could hop on anything and just write.
I should stay off this but this is NOT true in the industry... this man has so much information that most likely won't work for you.. im an award winning rapper and engineer, so I'm not just saying this to troll.... I should make videos on how to REALLY rap and what REALLY happens in the industry for a rapper or artist in general. If you're ever in the situation he speaks about and you're Givin a time frame, they already think you're trash and won't keep your Verse anyway so DONT waste your time... also folks that lie and say they "freestyle" their verses are bs too..
Have been writing for months, but still finding it hard to get something out of it. I will be back to drop my testimony I promise.
I can consider myself better at dissing and learning twisted insanes song's faster.
When I start writing I always think in something to diss about for approx. 30 minutes and construct everything from the poetry classical rules including philosophy, spirituality, etc... , cause I am an Spanish poet writer
forcing is bad advice. you just have to make it part of your every second and flow with it. Is the flow state. the guy that made this video is lacking perspective and missunderstood K's creative process
IMO 'Habitual Mindset' > 'Obsessive Mindset'.
As someone whose mother has OCD, I find the idea of glorifying obsession unsettling.
Writing is not easy
Being an Indian singer songwriter I have been doing the same things descirbed in the video wow just wow
Never be content.... translates to Wagner´s : "honesty does´t conciliate with conformity"
3:14 - That's the same " Shot " Stormzy used in his " Vossi Bop " Music video
Best advice: Thick outside of the box and be methodical. The more complicated the rhymes, the better.
Wait how did u pull all of that about obsession from him saying he has a thousand unreleased songs? He been rapping since 15 years , I been rapping 2 month and got almost 20 unreleased and 3 features waiting to drop. If you love what you doing go do it
People don't believe me when I show them my music and tell them I've only been rapping for a few months
This is a pile of horse shit, kendrick had writer's block for 2 years before dropping mr morale
Gotta give credit where credit is due, I also watched this piece before I got on fire for tonight 🙏🏼❤️
Ye the revelation with vision and intention?
checkout the whole nation, political pretension
adult children making rules for who?
sense gratification
WILDLY FREE - call it liberation
yet a culture stuck with no direction
what action is to passion, reaction is to fashion
Love Rapping, No Cappin'
dance moves and ass clappin'
wait a minute
TIME TO TAP IN
goin' hard and academically
can't cook love in the lab chemically
but we can all do it alchemically
Let me get the recipe
Heart & Soul with Rock & Roll
feel Crown Jewel get emotional
sometimes I rhyme fast
sometimes I rhyme slow
if you ain't finna share
you better not show
Keep pain to the minimal
said the passion criminal
But you don't hear me doe
Back to Ye
Yay
Say, Say...
in the future I see a Ye Day
For now it depends, what the world demands
Is Ye better off choosing compassion over dominance?
Charming yet ruthless
handlin' too much at once
why be the Knight of Swords
when you can be the King of Wands?
tell em
catch on, catch on, catch on
if the blessing is in the curse
the same ole song is the universe
what to do? shift the paradigm of course
bet you like EMF
Unbelievable
lyrical like them empiricals
attracting momentous miracles
Shoutout to MPH (Manly P. Hall RIP)

you lose everything you kept."
Nowadays, what are words of praise?
world is about fast pace change
Shockwaves and Breakthroughs

Dopamin is the new Currency

His voice itself sounds so good and smooth just speaking
these tips def work...I've used these strategies in my own way subconsciously before watching this vid. I think my fastest time writing an entire song was maybe 15-20 mins and that included 2 verses hook and a bridge. hasn't been that quick but I can still get too it when need be!
Thanks for watching and commenting Geno!
He better than Eminem
😳
I can tell you da best around, i wonder what you look like down town...
You aint know you was fuckin wit a hound, ill put you on the flo and get to actin a clown, call it ground and pound if you down you down... me im on top so i cant stop now... you telling me faster so a nigga get to drillin liiike le le le le le let me hear you SCReam... it aint ova yet bout to pull an all nighta girl dont forget
I wrote the second verse of a song in 30 minutes
Throw on random instrumentals write at least 4 bars to each beat as practice. On writing technical when inspiration is a miss. Worked for me
Obsessive mindset isn't fucking real i got writer's block rn
I'm the hottest producer ever I haven't been discovered yet lol but these next beats even better then these right now but you haven't heard them yet mind blowing.
i think my fastest time making a song mightve been 10-20 minutes.
