[Darklighter729]

haha

[desasterz]

Wrighters blocks come when you beleive lies. You only started wrighting rap records or anything else, even upto thinkgs like beat poetry or stories because you beleived in it. And its not really like beleiving in fairies, beleiving in these things. You may as well be able to not know you have a body, these things are real and you have to aknowlage them. Maybe you got a shock in something in your life that really made you think in terms of life not being a place for songs.

[LilSeanPeezy]

dude, thanks so much for puttin this out here for everyone tryin to make it in the game, im just tryin to do a project to have fun, if it turns into more than that, then it is what is it, i know i got the talent, and the determination, motivation, inspiration, etc

[BrealJon]

You dont know how bad i want to meet this guy so he can help me with my flow i mean i listen to the music on youtube and write then like half way i can finish it message if you can help plz dnt come with some bs i write as a hobby i enjoy but i would like to start putting on a track just to hear myself on my mp3 i dont give a ish if other ppl hear but hmu espically(spell check)if you live around fayetteville, NC

[mykalscavo]

@BrealJon Im in the same boat and about to hang it up. Try to collab with people so you can write like 16 bars instead of a full song.

What If You're 15 and Are barley Starting To write down lyrics??

[justcallme4]

[shockingillusions15]

@justcallme4 Same problam every time i try to write his lyrics pop to my head.

Plus i can't write any thing, nothing comes to me.

I did start writing one it's not very good, would you mind taking a look for me?

[KrYpToN881]

@justcallme4 aha. Same here! I keep copying. I listen to much to him and his lyrics are too good to ignore. :D

[KickAssFan2010]

@justcallme4 Your brave for saying that last bit xD

[JiggaSmo]

I just started my rap career. I have a couple of songs. Let me know if I'm any good or if I should just give up. Honest feedback is very much appreciated! Thanks!!

[TDnS94]

haha "digg up best friends..that died" Hahah xD

[FKRAPCITY]

best cure for writers block is to stop doing what you're doing entirely. leave and go out, get some natural inspiration in the form of going out and interacting with people and objects. youll be back on track in no time. its like being bored, when people are bored they try to do everything they can and end up getting frustrated but what you really need to do when your bored is relax.

[MrSTEN2011]

he's right tbh, thumbs up

[MrYoshiCrazy]

So I guess Writers Block is like a wall in a rappers life that slowed that certain rapper down?

[BatusaiJack]

sometimes I think your problems can be the fuel you need to write your lyrics...

[freak1061]

hey its a wigger.

[Sycopathy]

So people come here looking to be told what to do... really there's only one thing to do, reinvent it in your own way. Obviously what he's saying is right, you need flow and all that... but be yourself when you write, thats how you write well. If you are really serious about spitting then just write for yourself because style and personality are truly the key to success.

[tinsiltits]

funny thing is people talking shit when they clicked on this video for help, but still they are insecure; and have to rip on the big dude. at least he had something to say on the matter. you cyber bully ass wholes.  nice video man thanks

[54Representa]

Jellyroll- welcome to the traphouse.

Look him up you shit talking internet FUCK boys

[saptezsapte77]

[McLawlz]

[SuperRandomshizzz]

Is he high?

[AakwardAardvark]

this guy is spittin wack advice frontin harder than condolezza rice / this man probably lacks real rap action / he looks like a white black dude like michael jackson.

[ShidatheCheetah]

So far I've watched 3 of your videos. You do an awesome job. I wish you were in the 562/So.Cal area so you could help me with my lyricism and beats.

Keep it up!

[iChunkyheDurrty]

JellyRoll Is A Beast If You Aint Know, Thats His Rap Name, He Just Got Signed With Hypnotized Minds, Thats Three Six's label if you didnt know, WELCOME TO THE TRAP HOUSE

[dragonmusic88]

[IbludyRedD]

Well said , great advice ..I have a hard time recreating the sound of a song when i first record it ..My verses are only good when i feel em , good advice on getting back into that mindset.

check my vid advice welcome

[GhostSmoking]

JELLYROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OneGunSalute101]

it's JELLYROLL!

[Scott19seventy5]

Yea, I listen to meditation music..Then BAM! The words just come out. You have to clear your mind. That's how anyone cures writers block. Now, if you have no writing skills that is NOT writers block! You need to work on ya skills kid. Add more style, add more substance, add more technique. Writers block is a professional problem. The term is thrown around loosely by wanna be's as an excuse for their bad writing habits.

[guyinzion]

This dude just changed my life.

[TheAlphaSkitzo]

@marciano5280 yeah thas jellyroll

[dfitzishere97]

In my opinion, people are born to do certain things based on their talents. (Don't turn this into religious arguments, I am not religious). With that said, people are born with the ability to be a wordsmith and some aren't, yet with HARD WORK AND DEDICATION anyone can do anything. However, there is no way you can help someone write a nasty track, as ultimately it is something that just writes itself. The best writers are those that use it as expression.

[rockisntdeadyet]

Indeed rap its like fine poetry but instead of a beautiful girl waving from the balcony and calling your name while singing a beautiful song

you have a skanky ho' dancing from a pole ,spreading her buttcheecks for you in order to take all your money so she can bring it to her pimp so he can have crack to smoke and sell oh and instead of casttles and horses drawning carriages

we have police chasing and tazing niggers for robbing convinience stores with fake guns and beating up their ho's

[5034329573]

i dont git'it hahahhahha

[elchillipicante]

I WAS HIGH AS A KITE...

[kenshinjd]

I like this, although I'm not working on rap, it's really helpful thanks so much bro, now time to put what you say to practice

[treyku23]

jelly is one of the most insaine white rappers around but the easiest way to get over writers block is to not write. just let it flow off the dome thats how i got over my writers block

[dominicanboy312]

@Pai001 ight man, what do you mean by puttin 4 together?

[mmercurio999]

this dudes a good teacher and hes hilarious so he keeps attention

[ajilovegirls]

thts 100 cent true

[RikJamezBich]

Writers block word. It's easy to steal ideas, but you ever thought you made the bomb line, that later sounds like some other shit you heard before. haha You're right though, it's about the vibe. My prob. is I come up with great sections, but not sure how to always connect them. A healthy diet of quality music also helps with writers block.

[585lynch]

shit im on writers block2rite now well4 2longe i need2geet bakk n2 the habit of writn music Montague jada say longe as i no im nice fuk it im my own fan

[hdezzy100]

damn jelly a beast 1 u p jelly

[YungLC]

alrighty fat ass paul wall

[thc024]

@YungLC lol jelly goes hard paul wall aint even close he needs to keep makin fake grills lmfao

[dominicanboy312]

how do i overcome studdering and freezing??

[Pai001]

@dominicanboy312 learn your lyrics, take like bar for bar and learn it. 1,2,3,4 then put a 4 toghether. try to different beats. Faster,slower. 

[WhatGirlNow]

interesting. i don't write raps, but i work on novels, and i usually don't have writers block, only last couple of 4 months haha but thats cause so much shit was going on. but anyway, i think a way to overcome is to visualize what you want in the future. you wanna make it big? Well how the hell will you get there unless you work for it? see what im saying? so yea, desire, want, and fear pushes me.

[bananabread245]

I think this guy is too good of a teacher to be teaching on expert village.

[Makaveli5458]

@bananabread245 Yeah he really knows what he is talkin about

[Redneckdreadhead]

can u help me? my rhymes suck...WTF!

[MISSdirection1992]

I really like that last thing he said.If you're not sure how the music is sounding,and feel frustrated,go to sleep and listen to it with fresh ears later.I found that helps on my own.

[IzzYVaSqueZ1]

who ever thinks that the top rappers or any good rapper doesnt pickup a book and read or learn new things is sadly mistaken.. to be able to be creative yu have to educate yourself more in order to throw different syllables and metaphores into wordplay

[robjonesir]

if u dont mind then it dont matter lmfao, nothing but pure TRUTH!

[zamoraerick1]

His artist name is JellyRoll check him out before you start talking shit.

[giantpistol1]

If you need a book to learn how to rap you shouldn't be rapping.

[HANDZMERK]

@giantpistol1 that mustn't be what the 100+ top rappers that done interviews for "said" book were thinking....

[giantpistol1]

@HANDZMERK 100+ top rappers what a joke

[higrlz]

Oh shit I paused this at :32 and just brought my dug up friend with me.

Dang, you see that is why I am a better writer.

[yeahohyeahhh]

[BiLLz66614]

[qthemediaman]

"did he just get angry al a suddon" yeah i go through that too

good advice 

he has a point nothing works for everyone but i looked at alot of his vids and he know what hes talking about but different people do/need different tactics

[redpillow100]

writers block is about the artist , just not knowing what to say to people, thats all. he has nothing to say. theres nothing he actually wants to say, but has a deadline to meet. so there.

[MrSanatra]

this dude right here is a great teacher no lie

[DaniloCamargo]

dats sum gud advice

[skeletonchrist1503]

he sounds like a preacher lol but still safe for da advice brudda

[b0mbdrop]

"Expert: Jason

Bio: Jason has been a graphic artist for more than eight years."

Yes!! I finally found a graphic artist to help me with my writing!

[Iraistheking]

@b0mbdrop hes a rapper....Jellyroll....ever heard of Three 6 Mafia? hes wit them

[WesleeWilson]

@b0mbdrop he's a rapper. . .his name is jelly roll, look him up on here, he raps with lil wyte, he aint bad

[gamersgonebad]

@b0mbdrop lol

[HumorusPr4wn]

@b0mbdrop Do you not know Jelly Roll? Listen to his shit. He knows what hes talking about.

[b0mbdrop]

@HumorusPr4wn Jelly Roll the producer? Because Jelly Roll's real name is David Drew and this guy's name is Jason..........

[HumorusPr4wn]

@b0mbdrop lol your an idiot check his tattoos this is Jelly Roll not "Jason"

[b0mbdrop]

@HumorusPr4wn Check the video description....It clearly says Jason.

[skinheadboy1]

@b0mbdrop you're an idiot. expert video is a COMPANY. Jason is the guy who owns it you idiot. Check Jellyrolls official page. His name is David Drew.

[skinheadboy1]

@b0mbdrop Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Expert Village. We are known for our largest choice of informative videos from trusted sources to provide answers to your everyday questions. from expertvideos page. also, email them and youll find out that this video was made in THEIR studio and they PAID jellyroll to do the video you stupid fuck. Jason is the EDITOR OF THE VIDEO AND THE GRAPHIC ARTIST. Jellyroll raps. Owned. Now shut up know it all...or as it is know nothing at all

[b0mbdrop]

@HumorusPr4wn wait....and Jelly Roll is black.......so fuck you.

[skinheadboy1]

@b0mbdrop Jellyroll is white. In this video. There is more than one 50 cent (the 1st one is dead) there's more than one game (he's an old blood retired going on 80) The name Jellyroll isnt claimed just like the name Casper among white crips isnt claimed (its more common than aids in africa among white crips). Can I ask what your arguement is? Over the validity of his name? Wow...aren't you special. If you have nothing to say on his raps, go sit down and be angry elsewhere.

[sk8te778]
