Yo yo and welcome to the show, if you don't already know I'm R-Dizzle.
-
That's just a little taste. Welcome to how to be a rapper,
-
if you don't already know my name is R-Dizzle and welcome to the show.
-
By the time you finish watching this video, you're gonna know
-
how to rap like a PRO-FESSIONAL, YO, HOE, TOE.
-
I just keep giving these rhymes out for free. You're welcome
-
to the show. My name is R-Dizzle if you don't already know.
-
First thing you gotta do in order to be a rapper is to come up with your rapper name.
-
A lot of people spend way too much time choosing the rapper name, all you guys do is
-
pick something simple and that makes sense to who you are.
-
For example, Eminem, he created that name because his real name is Marshall Mathers
-
M&M get it, like the candy M&M's which happens to be a chocolate which is like
-
the phone he used to have back in the day, the chocolate cell phone and cell phone
-
has the word CELL in it like jail cell, jails sounds like the initial JO JO backwards
-
is like Oj, Oj not like the orange juice but like OJ Simson the convict, like
-
Konvict Muzik founded by AKON, AKON, acorn
-
a corn on a cob, web, Webster's dictionary.
-
Wind that back to acorn, a single corn, a unicorn, a unicorn which is mystical and magical
-
the 2 Ms, the M and M and that's where EMINEM got his name, simple as that.
-
The next thing you are going to need in order to be a rapper is your signature catchphrase,
-
you know something you shout out in the beginning of a song, so people know that's you singing,
-
you know like Tyga always says: MUSTARD ON THE BEAT at the beginning of his songs.
-
Or like Trey Songz when he yells: YUUPPP! 50 Cent used to always say G-UNIT
-
or even like 2 CHAINZ when he acts like a Pokemon and he says his own name, 2 CHAINZ
-
Your catchphrase can be whatever you want it to be, just make sure it's unique, original and it doesn't sound like anybody else's.
-
Here are some tips that I made up to help you guys come up with your very own catchphrase:
-
You could buy a hotdog from a clumsy salesman
-
Oh sorry sir. Oh come on dude, you just got "MUSTARD ON MY FEET"
-
You could answer your brother's girlfriend when she asks if your brother is up.
-
Hello. Hey is your brother awake yet, he is not answering his phone?
-
"HE UP" You could act surprise when you find out about your friends not so masculine hobby.
-
Hey bro you wanna play some ball? I think I'm just going to knit today. "GEE? You KNIT?"
-
Or you can even be like a dentist who is really proud of his recent tooth replacement.
-
And we are done. "TOOTH Change!"
-
Next you are going to need your signature look. Something that people will look at and instantly think of you and only you.
-
For example, Lil Jon has a big ass cup,
-
or Pharrell has a big ass hat, Nicki Minaj has a big ass...concoction of colors on her face.
-
Every rapper has to have their very own thing that only they do.
-
For me, I almost carry around a cell phone whether it's in my hand,
-
in my pocket, in my bag it doesn't matter, it's my thing.
-
That's how my fans recognize me and that's how I recognize my fans.
-
Hey, I appreciate that, girl.
-
Hey, thanks for the support bro.
-
Hey bro you got a cell phone on you? No, but I got a pager though.
-
Oh, okay, so you're just a fan of my old stuff. Thanks man.
-
In order to really sound like a rapper, you have to learn how to un-enunciate,
-
Every rapper knows that the one thing you don't want people to do when they listen to your rap is understand it.
-
So you really wanna un-enunciate. So you want to not speak clearly,
-
for example, if the line is MAN I LOVE THAT GIRL TWERKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR
-
which is a pretty common rap line. You just have to un-enunciate to make it sound more rappy.
-
MAAH I LUHH DAT GURRR TWERKEH AH DA DAN FLO. Easy.
-
Once you got that down, the next thing is to pick your rapping style,
-
there's a lot of different rap styles out there that rappers like to use and you just gotta find the one that fits you,
-
such as whisper rapping:
-
Run girl trying to get your body wet, work that, let me see your drip sweat.
-
ASTHMA Rapping: Where is my inhaler.
-
You can use lazy rapping like Drake, started at the bottom of the stairs, still at the bottom because there is too many stairs.
-
Druggy rapping like Lil Wayne: Young Mula Baby...
-
Angry rapping like Eminem: *** close your eyes *** ma!
-
As quietly as you possibly can to the point that almost sounds like mumbling rapping like Justin Bieber:
-
If I was your boyfriend I would never let you go, I can take you place, catch a tiger by its toe. Some girl...
-
Too fast to understand rapping like, Busta Rhymes:
-
Let's go, cause it doesn't really matter what I say, what I say, what I say, cause you can't understand anyway way way,
-
cause the man in the back, 45 can get a 50, can I get a 55, 60 sold to the man in the black, in the black, in the black, in the black, in the black
-
Now you got all the tools you need to rap, the last thing you have to learn is how to write.
-
In order to create a rap just like some of the most brilliant mainstream rappers we have today,
-
all you have to do is remember the international rappers MOTTO:
-
write it, rap it, spit it on a track when you want a new rap, it's as simple as that.
-
If you can remember that MOTTO and apply all the lessons we covered so far,
-
you should sound a little something like this,
-
About to make some sound right now
-
that don't have any meaning, UH check Uh yo
-
U wanna learn how to write a rap song? HE-UP
-
U wanna learn how to sound like a mainstream rapper? GEE, YOU KNIT?
-
Well imma show you how right now. TOOTH CHANGE. Check, check. MUSTARD ON MY FEET. Uh, check, check.
-
Get your checkbook out. Get it out.
-
Write it all down for the right amount. Right amount. Wrap it in an envelope. Spit, to seal.
-
And you be on track for a record deal! Rap record deal. Rap rap record deal.
-
Buy your lyrics from a writer.
-
Rap record deal. Rap rap record deal.
-
Make this whole song in a minute. Rap record deals.
-
Oh my god, that's gross. TEEHEE.
-
