what's up guys it's Dono I got a question basically asking for different
styles of rap so I'm gonna cover a couple different ways that you can get
into rap and styles you can use now this might be a little bit different than
what you're thinking because there's all sorts of subgenres but I'm going to look
at it a little bit more from the perspective of different idea blocks
that you can use to start writing lyrics and then you can style it up from there
I just want to be clear that I'm talking about kind of topics or general areas
not necessarily subgenres which have a lot to do with the style of instrumental
and the style of delivery that you put together because I think based on this
question it's gonna be a little bit more helpful to use these blocks alright so
the very first most common style of rap that you're gonna hear most of the time
is braggadocio braggadocio is the style of kind of self hype self aggrandizement
right this whole like I'm the best in the business everyone else is a witness
type of stuff like bars like that that you really just amp yourself up and talk
about how great you are now this is what people stereotypically think about when
they think about rap it's one style that you can approach but don't feel like
it's something you have to do because a lot of beginning rappers think that they
have to start with braggadocio because that's what their stereotype is you
don't have to do that there are other styles of rap which I will bring up a
couple for you the next style of rap that you can use is storytelling now
this should seem pretty straightforward it's just where you tell a story now the
thing that you really need to focus on if you're gonna be doing storytelling is
making sure that your details line up rap is very specific when you put a
story over a song in the sense that you only have as much space as is in the
instrumental unless of course you want to edit the instrumental but then maybe
your song is too long so if you want to really write a normal song with a story
in it you have to focus on how many bars you have pay attention to your story arc
that way it will make more sense a lot of times
what people starting out in this style do is they'll just start writing and
then all sudden they're out of space to continue talking about their topic
however this is a really great style for people who want to get in touch with
some of their stories and share them because it's really easy to just talk
about things that have happened to you and tell stories now you can also do
fiction stories it doesn't have to be things that happen to you but that's
often what people find most approachable another style that you can get into is
the technically intensive and by that I mean you really use a lot of poetic
techniques to make your lyrics stand out so this would be things like really deep
rhyme schemes a lot of wordplay a lot of alliteration other things that are
poetic techniques that are gonna make your lyrics stand out now a lot of times
when people do this they start saying stuff that isn't super clear or coherent
or sensical because to really mesh all these poetic
techniques together you don't always want a clear story arc great sometimes
it's easier to put a bunch of rhymes together in a way that doesn't quite
make sense but still sounds really good if this is the style that you're into so
if this is something you want to try really polish up on some of those
technical aspects of writing lyrics and you can start trying to write songs like
that another style that you can try to get into is like party or pop type stuff
and in this style there's not a very big emphasis on the lyrics but there is a
huge emphasis on finding things that are catchy so there's a lot of repetition a
lot of time spent making sure that the instrumental is something that really
gets people going or that they can relate to easily and then really
focusing on your chorus to make sure that that part is memorable the other
thing is with the lyrics being a little bit weaker you might want to throw in a
few clever lines but not so heavy that the listener has to really think for a
long time to get them because if they don't understand it then it's not gonna
really have that much impact so that's another style that you can kind of look
at an or think about another style that you can use is comedy again fairly
straightforward comedy rap has been around forever
all you have to do here is focus on setting up some different punchlines
setting up some things that are gonna be funny or maybe a scenario that ends up
being comical there is actually a separate skill of being able to write
comedy that you need to create comedic type rap this style you really need to
work on your timing just like you would for comedy and then a lot of times it
has lines that are written a little bit off or catch people off-guard or are
misleading so that you can set up these comedy punchlines finally we've got
message driven rap which is kind of related to storytelling or at least it
can be but it doesn't have to be in the form of a story so maybe you have some
really strong beliefs about the environment or something you can write a
song where the intent of the song is to get the message across that you're
trying to tell people so another thing that people call this sometimes is
political but it's basically rapping with the intent of sharing some sort of
opinion or swaying some types of belief it doesn't have to be that intense
either you could just be expressing your love for like ice cream or something
right it could be something pretty low-key but you just have a message that
you really want to get across but it's not necessarily in the form of a story
you're just trying to express a specific idea about a topic hopefully that gives
you a couple ideas for different blocks that you can start in when you start
trying to write lyrics and style your music obviously there's quite a bit of
overlap between these different styles but when you do that you start getting
into higher levels of skill so this is for people still trying to figure out
kind of what they want to do these are some areas for you to explore and try
out to see what style fits you best there's also a ton of different ways
that you could break this out actually if you guys have ideas for different
genres or subgenres or ways that you would construct the different types of
rap I would love to hear what you've got but beyond that that's all I've got for
