 What's up everybody once again it's Shawn Taylor and I do this because I believe artists should be able to control their own destiny So today I'm going over M&A always mess his name up and how fast and lyrical rappers similar to him make hits Let's get into it So dope chorus dope choruses are always helpful. That's obvious not going crazy deep into this A great example of this You know Kendrick swimming pools great chorus go listen to it and we also know how lyrical Kendrick can be So another thing though is slow down when people can't understand you It's hard to make a hit because people can't repeat what you're saying And also it doesn't stick in their head because they don't know everything that you are saying So it can be hard to make a hit when you do this There's some examples that are outside of this That a set of data, you know, this doesn't apply to every song you can always find an example, but Just follow this See Jay-Z used to rap really fast Slow down start making more hits, but because people can understand them simple as that Small example, but also tell a story Telling a story just helps You slow down as a fast and lyrical rapper and it makes it easier to resonate with what people are saying Simple as that Here's a great example So Everybody who knows Eminem knows he's the most rapping and rapping is fast rapper technical rapper Super lyrical. However, when he made this song, it was one of the things that super broke through It's crazy how deep he got into this story. I mean it's stand for you guys We don't know whatever, but I'm Just making a narrative is just it plays with people's imagination And it just makes it easier to stick with people. This is a super unique narrative but even Lupe Fiasco's kick push was a great example of You know just creating a narrative for people to listen to and really resonate with because you're going to relate to Whoever, you know can relate to your actual story You know Lupe hit a very strong demographic in terms of people who like skateboarding Just chill mood and similar people to him But don't forget the music that's pretty much number one So a lot of fast rappers lyrical rappers They're rapping over the beat and it almost sounds like you can just take the lyrics like they wrote the lyrics without the Beat and just found a beat that matched it instead of playing with the beat and integrating with the unique things of that particular beat always do that if you can Because it just plays and makes for a better song better music a lot of lyrical and fast rappers act like What they're saying is more important than the song itself and that's usually detrimental to the song rapping fast is kind of a technique and it's like a it's a trick and The lyrics you're saying it's great, but they're more powerful if you say it with the song Production unique and playful production, especially it's something that helps fast rappers do something different because Or lyrical rappers do something different because it forces them to think differently to actually match and once again Kind of play with the beat Here's two examples. Well some examples first We're gonna start with that old beat that when you rap over this and you're fast and lyrical You're gonna sound exactly like it's hard to sound too far from the old school rappers And people might have still appreciate that but it's hard to make a hit because people have heard so many of this So much of this So those are some examples of some of those beats that just they're gonna pretty much put you in that pocket of Wrapping kind of in that similar fashion and a lot of those people if you're fast and lyrical You probably went to experiment and do something a little bit different now There's some caveats as in with these songs All right, so the caveat is all these rappers are Macklemore J. Cole and OG Mackle they made hits with these three songs But for different reasons none of them really like this song. There's these songs, right? So J. Mackle he just OG Mackle He just did this because he said he was basically hacking the game is being playful if you listen to his other stuff You know, he's a lot more lyrical and it sounds a lot different than his normal stuff But he just wanted to get through he broke through but it wasn't him right Macklemore He didn't want to get cut into a vibe and caught in the vibe And that wasn't necessarily him because thrift's job is kind of I guess a part of them But most of this old stuff is actually kind of a fast more lyrical beat and even J. Cole with that workout If you know J. Cole, you know that song. It's not him and he even came out and said, you know He just let himself down. He let his idol nice down So you don't want to get caught in some zone when you're doing this playful and experimentation when you're not being yourself So be you though got to stay yourself I know it's hard to kind of think about all these things that I just said and and still be at the same time Get used to it just experiment have fun But here's a great example of someone who did this and I think he was himself But I don't know I'm well enough to say that but it sounded like it But this guy you when you listen to these songs I'm just gonna play out in the rest of the video and let it go out He was super playful with the production. Well, the production was super playful But he interacted and played with the music itself. So it's super musical He doesn't sound like he's rapping over the beat against the beat. They sound perfect together. They're interesting together He wraps fast and slow so you understand them But he does give you kind of that trick and technique of the fast rapping that sounds good The choruses are super dope in my opinion and he even tells stories, right? They're not necessarily them deep stories like in them or some kind of I don't know the world sucks But there are stories in the sense of he's kind of flirting with girls in the way He's talks as if he's talking to a woman. So you imagine the situation imagine the flirtation taking place So what you're gonna hear first is two snippets from songs where he's kind of being lyrical And then two snippets from those same songs when he's actually when the choruses are super catchy dope And you can see all of these elements listen to it out subscribe if you like it more coming later Let me know if you want me to do something in particular in the comments below. Have a good one You
