Tips
by: Yung B

Well I am an up and coming hip hop artist right now so i know from experience that its hard for songwriting. Im only 16 so dont think its impossible to be too young for this. Songwriting doesnt come easy for anyone whether your 16 like me or 36. Some tips are think of whats going on in your life right now and write about that. That is the easiest thing to write about! Also think of whats going on around you and your opinions on that. Rhyming is good but too much rhyming is bad-thats a big key point. Have a creative mind a have fun with it. If you guys have dreams of becoming a hip hop artist like i did, then dont give up on it. Songwriting comes from YOUR head and YOUR heart.

Re: "Stumped"
by: Prava Recordings

If you're stuck in writing a song, you need to walk away from it. At least for a little while. All too often we try to force things to work, even when they don't--and in my experience there is no reason to dwell on a concept that just isn't working.

Move on to something else and come back to the one you're stuck on later. Maybe you don't have the right inspiration at the moment, or quite possibly the song just doesn't work and this is your brain's way of showing you that.

My tips
by: Frank

Well I'm Frank and I'm 14 years old. I think the number one tip on writing a rap song is being yourself. Don't rap about fast cars and money if you don't have that. Rap about things about you, whether that be growing up in an inner city or not having a father in your life. For example, I write about real things in my life, like growing up with lots of crime and bad influences, and not having my dad in my life. Another thing, where you live often affects the way you sing and write songs, so try to write songs in the style of your region or state, like me, I'm from the Midwest, so my lyrics are often fast paced and dark. Don't trash the city where you live, if you don't like it, don't rap about it! For some reason, that really bothers me. That's all I can think of really.

IM SO LYRICAL
by: Hunter1#Rapper

when your writing a rap song give it time, write along to a beat or jot down a few lines and keep reading it over and over and saying it in your head and think about the next logical phrase , bar or word, also an investment into a rhym dictionary would be good. read poetry and book, ANYTHING youl be rapping in no time... BUT ! remeber youl never be as good as meee. see yall when im on top, look out for my album droping

Learn the mood of the song
by: Anonymous

um just get into the mood that the said hip hop song is about and just feel the mood and think about a subject until a line comes out of it, rhyme with it and keep going until you get stuck then repeat, thats what i always do, and with alot of revisions, they normally turn out really cool

Im 15 and currently working on my first album..
The easiest way to write a rap is to sit somewhere quiet and focus, it takes time...
Listening to current artists of the same style as you also helps, and try and use word play and similies for example 'No footie, i ball' or relate to other artists etc for example a line in one of my songs is ' I put on for my city, no im not jeezy..yeah my money young,but not quite weezy'...keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it :)

Also you can talk about material things if you can make them fit, soo another example of one of my songs is 'i wanna be a millionaire, fast cars limozenes, but before that i wanna fulfil my dreams, be an A student, the star of the team, rise above the limits that were set for me'
get it?
im not the best, but im learning :)...never give up on your dream..hope this helps!
