The Art Of 16 Bars

[shonge20]

Whoa!!!

[CasperG113]

hey bro,can you explain what are bars?

[brooklynite1987]

@CasperG113 bars are your lyrics written for music - just think of them like 16 sentences, like in the video:

"Tis the season, I'm the spring in your mattress" = 1 bar

"To make you jump off, and feel EVIL spelled backwards" =1 bar

16 of these gets you a verse which is the norm at the time of this writing. The important part is as you grow from the basics, have no boundaries. do as many bars as you want as long as its hot, it makes sense, and its the truth.

Simple.

Peace in and out

[CasperG113]

[CrypTiCCLenCh]

[jimmyminter23]

p.s, can i get an instrumental name? lol at the beginning it sounds close to an old nas song but then the orchestra comes in... ill stuff though, doesnt get any doper

[brooklynite1987]

i think i know what you talking about too... Nas - "Nas is Like" which is one of the dopest tracks from Nasty Nas himself. but naa we aint sample from that, My producer knows the sample cause he made it himself. the only thing i know for sure that was sampled was gthe orchestra part. but yo LEQ definitely appreciates the love and respect.

[jimmyminter23]

hip hop in its essence and its realest... i fall in love with it everytime i hear it. lol makes me wish there were more chicks that straight jammin real stuff instead of soulja boy and what not... haha

At first the beat wasn't attractive. I'm glad I waited. Overall I didn't think the video was bad.  It's in my Music Playlist, so you did somethin' right.
