Often people write me that they now want to try to rap, and if I can not give you tips. While I believe that there is certainly more suitable than contact me, I will not even be so, and I just have a few minutes excess time, I can in the same course it slightly mummified Blog revive a little. Let's start.
first No one is waiting for you
It is perhaps symptomatic of a music style that originated more or less from lyrical tail comparisons out that is expected of rappers trudge to the confidence of a King Kong through the area and to proclaim loudly that the so-called "Game" is now completely fucked that all Haster can retire and one is for Hiphop in about what Jesus was for Christianity. Say goodbye to the thought. Do you realize that no one is waiting for you, it certainly does not have a rapper in the world without asking his opinion or his biography to the Ear claps. Look around on Myspace: there are more rappers than car mechanics in Germany. Each Raphoe tried sooner or later times in the matter, and you're not different. You're just one of many, nothing special. This is hard, but the truth, live with it and take it as the basis for everything else.
second Neglect the text, building on your voice
For some reason, the reputation of rap, that the texts were the most important. This may be tuned, that there is in any other music toward more text here and in some Storytellers or acrobatic rhyme games is a good text essential, but a beginner can confidently shit on the text. For this reason, you can also go from this strange freetype forums away, so Internet forums where you can deliver by itself Battles typed lines of text. This is a nice pastime, but has nothing to do with rap. Rap does not have the Scriptures, but by the sound, and so I do not mean the Geklacker the keyboard. The first thing a listener will perceive of you, even before the meaning of the text has penetrated to his ear, is your voice and your manner of performance, ie the flow. This means: Work on your voice. Sure, not everyone is blessed with a good voice, but it does not plan to Barry White and Leonard Cohen sound-to-moderately pleasing, but vocally conspicuous. Legendary Rapper B-Real of Cypress Hill, Eazy-E, Flavor Flav, or Busta Rhymes have anything gefälllige, but all the more striking voice. Change your voice to something big you can not, but you can learn to use them. Experiment around, take you on in different tones of voice and hear it from me then, look, what you like best yourself. And not afraid of the microphone: which it does not matter if you yell. The biggest shortcoming of beginners is uncertainty or fear of the microphone, halbgeflüstertes, eierlos sounding Genuschel. Not trying to sound desperately otherwise do what you like, but make it, that your voice is not like any other sounds. And if you're holding a bored voice, then this boredom cultivate her voice. I'm sure you know what I mean.
third Standing on your role models and develop your own style
Everyone has role models, this is quite normal. Anyone who claims to have no role models, they will not admit only, and thus cheating themselves and the listeners. Clear your first Rapversuche will be influenced by your role models - that is all natural. But as long as your first Rapversuche not come to the public, do not care. Study your rap idols. Do you realize that she fell, but why do you like them? Find out and you can have both free up their influence. Be inspired by quietly get them to use parts of their texts, or flow, and build it as a small tribute to your own, but do not make the mistake to copy or imitate. Develop your own style. This can sometimes be a slow process, but if you do not want to be one of many imitations, it is necessary. Your own style is the only thing that distinguishes you from others. Many more words I can not say, but also do not give tips, it is ultimately YOUR style.
4th Keep your stuff back
The listener will end up not knowing that you've been sitting for three nights in a row on this one part, re-recorded it ten times have, he will not see how you've experimented for hours to the backups. The listener will notice only afterwards that you are offbeat halt in the third and eighth line and check off the track and find shit. So hold you back. If you are not blessed with a natural sense of tact, train yourself in rhythm. One of the biggest mistakes of beginners is that they are so proud of manufacture on their track, they do not realize that out of sheer disbelief to be permanently out of tempo or hung bridges vocally. The scathing criticisms they make it all the harder. So practice, practice, practice, and if you do not think this a job with the text and the eighth time without Jolt fix, then try one thirty-ninth time And do not worry: the time is your rhythm and tact sharpen, which lies in the nature of things. Later, all the routine, then you need more than forty attempts for a verse. But now, just now. Take your time if you do not want to be one of many. The handset, which you will serve afterwards without asking your bruising will thank you. This brings us directly to the next point.
5th Shit on the feedback
Thanks Myspace and Internet Rapforen one can obtain a very short time by an anonymous public criticism and feedback, and as we see commonly, this possibility is also used for pleasure. But please, not yours. You do not need feedback. Your track is offered to a potential audience, it's your track, you're behind, you know exactly why you have such a track and not differently. Feedback à la "The rhyme is as stupid and there you'd better do this" is meaningless, because you know why this silly rhyme have since used it for sure and that you wanted to do otherwise. You know your style and stand behind it. If you depend on others who will tell you that you are offbeat or your voice to sound indistinct whispering, then it is too early for a release. If you rhymes no matter, the audience will surely make you aware of your cheap "Rhymes", but you may not care, because you go with different standards on the matter. Your tracks will not please everyone tastes are just different. So do not ask for feedback, you know neither the power of the Internet user has their taste, it will help you in any case.
6th Be realistic
Okay, you've now completed your first track, the text is eingerappt accident free, he is untegrrundmäßig, but listenable been remixed and is now cut it out, in any form whatsoever. But be realistic. Think of point 1, it is still waiting for any of you, you are still before one of many.
proof them wrong!
Good luck!
