Become A Dope Rapper With This Simple Plan (Step-By-Step)

How to Become a Dope Rapper in 2 Simple Steps

In this video, Jamar Neighbors breaks down how to become a successful rapper in two simple steps. The first step is organizing your goals, aspirations, and skills into categories. The second step is organizing your writing and beats into song categories.

Organizing Your Goals and Skills

• Organize your goals, aspirations, and skills into two categories: skill categories and song categories.

• Skill Categories include voice (inflection, emphasis), flow (cadence, rhythm), lyrics (wit, punchlines), song structure (hooks), and beat selection.

• Song Categories include club songs, deep songs with storylines or lyrics, sad/reflective songs, and songs for the ladies.

Organizing Your Writing and Beats

• Organize your writing and beats into song categories that you can practice on in isolated settings.

• Isolate muscle groups like chest day or leg day when working out to work each muscle group to its fullest potential while letting others rest.

• Practice writing for each song category to improve your skills as a rapper.

Five Categories of Rap Music

Categories of Rap Music
