📢 Big Update, RhymeMasters! 🎤 As we continue to grow together, I believe every question leads us closer to mastery. What's puzzling you in rap and personal development? Click this link (askdesmond.rhymemasters.com/ ) to ask me a question. Let's discuss and grow. -Desmond (aka DLUXTL)
100% accurate. I agree with the last one my opinion, after a while you start realizing your attack an listen a few times to a beat then go back and craft the art to fit. thats cool of you to say that, cause thats true
When i first started, long ass time ago i wrote without the beat, really developed a flow before anything else, freestlying is so hard now though had to go back and learn the basics the bar measures
I've started several tracks and had to go back and forth between the beat on or off.. I rarely go in to a track without a vibe concept - or a beat to vibe with. Sometimes I just hear the beat, start freestyling and find the topic or chorus, and then start homing in on riding the beat. I want to get to a point that I've heard the beat, I feel the vibe.. and then, I write without it. Because having to re-rap and listen to the beat to catch the next 4 bar run so I'm on time gets tiring.. I want to recognize how to write to different tempos and styles without the need for a beat.
I like to write both with and without. Both work well. With or without beat for me depends on the song I'm writing. If there's a lot of emotion within the song, I prefer writting with the beat.
cool ill check that out, im going into high school nxt yr so i wanna start a hiphop club so i can freestyle and battle other mcs, so that would b helpful.
some of the best raw info even though it's simple, but i guess that's why it is so useful i'm getting immediate improvement in the flow and all the areas in general feeling very comfortable
Everyday, another round of pain. Is it safe to say I'm not okay? One way two way. When are things gon go my way? When you gon listen to what I gotta say? I've been diggin and searchin. Livin and learnin. Tryna find my soul, baby I've been workin. Bendin, stretchin, baby I've been hurtin. I'm not givin up, I ain't had enough. Who cares if times are tough, things are rough. I'd never stop lookin for destiny. Ain't lettin these struggles get the best of me. What you think, y'all?
"Thug Queen" is the best rapper as a girl.Checkout her verse on "Power" and Mighty Mighty Warrior."Thug Queen" is a artist from Harmony and the "Mo Thugs"
It really depends to me....if I'm trying to be real punchy with punchline after punchline no beat....but if I want a raw emotion filled track....then beat all the way....
Im a solo artist i was hoping I can link up with a producer/band so I can start my beginning stage of being a lyrcist, I have a few freestyles posted now. Any suggestions where I should start?
What were the two terms you used just after talking about 8 and 16 note patterns??? It was triple somethings and an-somethings hahaha!!! Im getting much past writing with my bars and stuff and way more into write directly to the beat!!!!!
I've been rapping for ages now, and I'm not gonna call myself good but I write very complicated rhymes. Some people wrire simpler rhymes, neither one is better really just do what you do
oh yea u said to beat or not to beat , i stated that i usualy writhe with a beat , but i also write ideas where ever im at , like driving down the street ill see somethin and it will inspire a thought for a dope verse , so writing with or without a beat just depends on what your doing or at , thoughts just flw to mind anywhere ... but yo yea man writing with a track is great and sometimes not , just speaking for myself ...peace my man
think i depends on the vibe as u said....me personal like wen ihear a 9th wonder beat the jus touches your soul i listen to the beat constantly...the i stop it and try to write the verse from the soul... dont sure if that makes sense
Honestly, I can give my hunch but you'll need to research with the beat maker directly. My guess, it's mostly true. Some neat makers give free nonexclusive license for their free beats which may allow you to sell the song, so can any other artist that uses the beat. I could be wrong as our focus is on well-being, connection, and growth through craft of rapping and not the commerce as much.
Why'd you stop making videos when I first stared rapping these where where hopeful I come back and whatch em sometimes to keep me in track and remember important things about music.
Right, Im 13 years Old (OMG) Ive been Inspired by another artist to be a Rapper. Im already writing my own Lyrics. but having trouble with beats. Im downloading them off TH-cam. Can You make a Tutorial on how to make beats ?
Hey i have a pretty solid flow like ive been told that but i feel my flow takes a hit from my untiming breath controls. How can i improve on my breath control?
that's why i make my own beats.. i still do the edit.. but it's not because i want it to go in 16 bars.. it's because i can say what i want to say in a way i want to say it in.. the beat goes with rhymes and rhymes go with the beat smoothly :)
I have one stupid question(maybe) How can i rap over the beat ... i have teh lyrics i have put my skills emotions on the paper but i just cant rap over the beat even if the beat is really dope. I dont want to throw awy my lirics, find a beat get the emotion from it and write, cause i already wrote the song and i think that it is more pure to use ypur own emotions. Thanks for the videos and i would be happy if u give me an advice.
i cant write with a beat on... distracts me way too much. but im finding that even though i dont write with a beat, my rhymes still generally fit. thanks for the video but (:
yo man thanks for all the videos you put up. I really enjoy writing the lyrics but I don't know alot about acuall music so I have no idea how to write beats. What can I do to solve this? Also, would you rather have great lyrics and an ok beat, or a great beat and ok lyrics?
its all about the mood your in at the moment, and if you got a beat r not!! see someone like me has djs around me "BUT NO BEAT MAKERS" So I tend to use music from past songs or beat makers off the net ,, but I think it will make a major difference when you can put a beat together with music and synk them together so u can really express what ya mind thought is when u think of a song n shit ......... just my thoughts! #POW
I'm a pretty decent writer when it comes to writing rap lyrics, but when other people ask me to freestyle, I freeze up with nothing to say. Need to fix this, but how?
always to a beat... I write stuff down just random thoughts and ideas and words and phrases but I dont think you can cram a whole verse into a beat that the verse wasnt made for... even if you could it seems like its cheating the beat.
im having trouble understanding how to write to a beat. i mean i write poetry but musically i still dont get it. i cant count bars i think thats why. any tips anyone?
Ah yeah, bluish day. on my knees to pray. just like yesterday. Lord help me make it through another day. watch over my soul as i go. down the block where no one goes down the block where no one grows. surviving alone in a empty zone. watch my soul as i move with you. thank you for the bluish sky and trees i see. thank you for the sounds of birds and bees. thank you for remembering me and keeping me free. All i know is what i do. thank you lord im down with you. If i die before mamma wakes. Let her know you have my soul. its time to go
Can someone direct me to something that is directed solely towards the actual rapping and not towards the poetic element in the words that are rapped? Like....... give me advice as if I have some dude writing my lyrics for me
If its something like rock I know a lot of people like pro tools or you could use any DAW like FL studio or Cubase there are many just watch videos on what looks like it is what you need. Some people pick on FL for being for novices but its all I have ever used and I picked up on it really quickly. You just have to research into what you will need to record your instruments like audio interfaces etc... and also you will probably want to make sure your computer is up to the challenge of using a lot of VSTs etc... (if you will be using any digital instruments)
i am free to be all that i am without worry or cause because i am a man. if you cant pray for me then dont hate me for being me one day i will be free to look down on the clowns from the clouds that abused me treated me no better than a lost dog looking for a home when no one was there with a sad face full of despair i do not dare, to care about life like before society choose me to slam my face with their door im not poor nor broken or spoken with soft words never seen, i am the man behind the scenes. Dont hate me you dont know me what gives you the right to put a needle in my arm and follow with good nite. you created me with your bigotry because it was me you could not be so now you hate me and your hate is without end your heart full of sin and your hell will begin when god judges your sins you made against me. and thee.
i'm wiz fly the way my lyrics is you can see i'm shine look at my hair just like wiz khalifa, i don't know love but bitches know who we are........... hunnnnnnnn

cause most of the time, i play a beat and forget it stopped playing lol and im like
thanks steel.
your welcome bro keep your head up and keep posting your work. b blessed.
Thank you for doing what you do. If I ever "make it" in rap. I'll be sure to put you in the credits. Thanks again for your insight.
YES i needed a video on this, I have so much trouble writing to a beat! need a lot of help with flow
Word, thanks. Keep tuning in.
When i first started, long ass time ago i wrote without the beat, really developed a flow before anything else, freestlying is so hard now though had to go back and learn the basics the bar measures
i'm most use to writing w/o a beat so i found this pretty helpful, thx!
I usually prefer to write with the beat because then I can pick up on rhythms in the beat that some instrument play, to focus my text around.
No problem, I'm working on a punch line video for next month.
I've started several tracks and had to go back and forth between the beat on or off.. I rarely go in to a track without a vibe concept - or a beat to vibe with. Sometimes I just hear the beat, start freestyling and find the topic or chorus, and then start homing in on riding the beat.

What kind of writing tips?
You kick ass man. I've been MCing for nearly nine years now but your videos have helped a lot. One love from Brooklyn.
I like to write both with and without. Both work well. With or without beat for me depends on the song I'm writing. If there's a lot of emotion within the song, I prefer writting with the beat.
I respect that. 🙏🏾
@@RhymeMastersCommunity you are appreciated brother 👍🏽
cool ill check that out, im going into high school nxt yr so i wanna start a hiphop club so i can freestyle and battle other mcs, so that would b helpful.
Glad its helping you. Any suggestions?

How do you write a rap with good flow.
Well you have a good sense of rhythm then, bravo.
In the works, check the blog on emceemind to know when its ready.

it is so useful
i'm getting immediate improvement
in the flow and all the areas in general
feeling very comfortable
Thank you...these tips helped me!! Im Dope in school:3
Good Lookin Bro ...Great Channel ...Could Always use some knowledge on flowing , i myself write to a track most of the time
I am just now starting, and I start with 5 min freestyle no beat, then I do the rest of my practice with a beat.
hey your awesome it worked without a beat it rhymes thanks for the help couldn't do it without
i started without but i will try with the beat
Good stuff. You should do some videos on structures(AABB, ABAB, ABBA, etc), cadence and some tips on effective hooks/chorus.
what I do to write a song is write it without the beat and then after you write the lyrics,record it to your phone or something. hope this helped :)
Because rhythm is so crucial to the verse could you give some tips or drills that would help improve rhythm?
I'm lovin that beat!
Everyday, another round of pain. Is it safe to say I'm not okay? One way two way. When are things gon go my way? When you gon listen to what I gotta say? I've been diggin and searchin. Livin and learnin. Tryna find my soul, baby I've been workin. Bendin, stretchin, baby I've been hurtin. I'm not givin up, I ain't had enough. Who cares if times are tough, things are rough.

TheEcoTerrorist X thanks.
Leila Louis really good this so dope bro

I plan to make a rap out of my love poem. Guess I'll just rely on the vibes because I am not even sure if it has the beats on it.
I love to rap and I am constantly changin my rythem, my question is, is there a method to counting bars?
when you talk about writing in this video do you mean literally writing? or freestyling?
It really depends to me....if I'm trying to be real punchy with punchline after punchline no beat....but if I want a raw emotion filled track....then beat all the way....
Thanks man I'm gonna drop a sub man!!! I can't exactly like, rap, but I'm working on it
Im a solo artist i was hoping I can link up with a producer/band so I can start my beginning stage of being a lyrcist, I have a few freestyles posted now. Any suggestions where I should start?
What were the two terms you used just after talking about 8 and 16 note patterns???
It was triple somethings and an-somethings hahaha!!!
Im getting much past writing with my bars and stuff and way more into write directly to the beat!!!!!
I write my raps at school when I get bored
I've been rapping for ages now, and I'm not gonna call myself good but I write very complicated rhymes. Some people wrire simpler rhymes, neither one is better really just do what you do
I feel there is no right answer to "with or without the beat" but i think both help to improve your skills and make you better t it .
Sounds like your answer is both. Valid.
How do you make good rap sentences to feel good to that basic rap and it sounds good too
I find it easier to writ without a beat just so you can edit with a beat later. I have found this to wield much better results.
How to rap with thr beat like flowing with it
oh yea u said to beat or not to beat , i stated that i usualy writhe with a beat , but i also write ideas where ever im at , like driving down the street ill see somethin and it will inspire a thought for a dope verse , so writing with or without a beat just depends on what your doing or at , thoughts just flw to mind anywhere ... but yo yea man writing with a track is great and sometimes not , just speaking for myself ...peace my man
Thx for the advice :)
you answered my question before I asked,,, yeah niggaa,,,, many thank to you
Any drills that can help me think of an end rhyme word quicker I sometimes tend to choke because I can't think of the word fast enough.
hey MC mind what does it mean when ice t is saying Dont crunch syllables
He meant to say don't put 100 syllables in a bar
SmallsVEVO after 2 years lol
think i depends on the vibe as u said....me personal like wen ihear a 9th wonder beat the jus touches your soul i listen to the beat constantly...the i stop it and try to write the verse from the soul... dont sure if that makes sense
where are you located i would love to meet yo man your inspiring and i wanna learn in person
Is there a way I can find free beats ?
Usually, online best makers offer free beats when you subscribe to their lists.
Probably plenty on TH-cam.
@@RhymeMastersCommunity I heard you can’t sell that song with a free beat is that true? Can you explain
Honestly, I can give my hunch but you'll need to research with the beat maker directly. My guess, it's mostly true.
Some neat makers give free nonexclusive license for their free beats which may allow you to sell the song, so can any other artist that uses the beat.

I was vibing out to the beat then it just cuts out lol. Nice video my friend.
that's why i make my own beats.. i still do the edit.. but it's not because i want it to go in 16 bars.. it's because i can say what i want to say in a way i want to say it in.. the beat goes with rhymes and rhymes go with the beat smoothly :)

Could you please tell me how to edit the verse
Can you say more about you mean by editing the verse? Just to clarify
i cant write with a beat on... distracts me way too much. but im finding that even though i dont write with a beat, my rhymes still generally fit. thanks for the video but (:
how do you start getting notice tho?
Isnt alex duran elvis duran from ed and the morning shows husband?
yo man thanks for all the videos you put up. I really enjoy writing the lyrics but I don't know alot about acuall music so I have no idea how to write beats. What can I do to solve this? Also, would you rather have great lyrics and an ok beat, or a great beat and ok lyrics?
as long as you can write the best lyrics ever, you can rap it on any beat. it would go right.
I can't find any more words that will go with my rap good
Tell me what it is I'll try to help
its all about the mood your in at the moment, and if you got a beat r not!! see someone like me has djs around me "BUT NO BEAT MAKERS" So I tend to use music from past songs or beat makers off the net ,, but I think it will make a major difference when you can put a beat together with music and synk them together so u can really express what ya mind thought is when u think of a song n shit ......... just my thoughts!

Not a simple answer to that one lol assuming you mean what software to use?

i am free to be all that i am
without worry or cause
because i am a man.
if you cant pray for me
then dont hate me for being me
one day i will be free
to look down
on the clowns from the clouds that abused me
treated me no better than a lost dog
looking for a home when no one was there
with a sad face full of despair
i do not dare, to care about life like before
society choose me to slam my face with their door
im not poor nor broken or spoken with soft words
never seen,
i am the man behind the scenes.
Dont hate me
you dont know me
what gives you the right
to put a needle in my arm
and follow with good nite.
you created me with your bigotry
because it was me you could not be
so now you hate me
and your hate is without end
your heart full of sin
and your hell will begin
when god judges your sins
you made against me.
and thee.
with a beat
