With that in mind, we’re going to tackle the answer to this question with 3 major hacks on how to write better rap lyrics:

“Topic At The Top” (Beginner-Level)
“Becoming The Beat” (Intermediate-Level)
“Rhyme To Reasons” (Advanced-Level)

“Topic At The Top”: Beginner Level

Now, from what we can guess from this commenter we assume he or she might be at roughly beginner or maybe intermediate level of experience.

A beginner is anyone from 0 months rapping to maybe around a year.

With this in mind, our advice to beginners who struggle with, as the commenter says, “just writing what they feel, making it rhyme, but it turns out forced”, is:

First and foremost you need to ALWAYS write a CLEAR topic at the top of your page or notes app when you first start writing.

That means that BEFORE you start trying to just randomly cram ideas together that rhymes, you DECIDE on a specific subject matter or topic you will write on and put that at the top of the page.

If you’re brand new, this can be something extremely simple like “Jordans” as in the shoes…

Or “Growing Up In Brooklyn” if you’re from Brooklyn, etc.

This is because until you have an ability to stick on ONE topic and explore different descriptions and witty ways of attacking that subject matter…

Your raps are going feel scattered (as they do now) but for YOU as the writer and the listener as they hear your music.

Idioms and Catch-Phrases

If you’d like to up the challenge for yourself and feel like simply writing “Jordans” or “Growing Up In Brooklyn” is too simplistic.

You can take a different approach and look up “idioms” or catch-phrases from everyday life and turn them into a rap.

An idiom is a common non-literal phrase meant to represent a behavior or an idea that literally happens in life.

A really clear example of this would be “the ball is in your court”.

If I was to say to you “look, homey, in this situation… the ball is in your court”… You’d likely know that I meant:

“Your success or failure in this situation will come down the decisions you make”.

Therefore you can instead write at the top of your page “The Ball’s In My Court” and then decide to write better rap lyrics about your decision making throughout the life situations you’re going through.

There are literally 1000s of idioms to look up and many major rap songs such as Kanye West’s “Stronger” (built off of the idiom ‘that which doesn’t kill me can only make me stronger’), Eminem’s “Cleaning Out My Closet” (built off of the idiom ‘you have some skeletons in your closet’) and many others are built off of them.

“Becoming The Beat”: Intermediate Level

A step higher than writing a topic or an idiom at the top of your page to help you stay focused to write better rap lyrics is “become the beat”…

In other words, let the beat guide the content of your rap lyrics.

We call this “becoming the beat” because it represents how YOUR job as a rapper is to seamlessly lyrically MESH with the EMOTION the beat you choose brings out of the listener.

So of course step 1 in this process is find a beat with a very clear emotional feeling to it.

The massacre that becomes a focal point of this series is complicated, as the show quickly establishes that it has a strong moral stance on profiting off queer tragedy, yet frequently uses it to propel its plot and characters forward in a way that doesn’t always appear genuine. The show is quick to say what is right and wrong, but then exhibit some problematic behavior.

In the first episode, Brodie meets Mingus, Fin Argus’s high schooler trying to enter their first drag show, when they have a sexual encounter in the bathroom before the shooting. It is soon revealed that Mingus is a minor, and Brodie is not, and almost everyone in the show brushes it off. Sure, the character turns 18 during the first season, but do we really need another show with a minor having sex with an adult?

This murky area of consent is explored more with Brodie and Julian, when he hires a sex worker to help his brother with cerebral palsy get laid. Julian, understandably, gets upset when he finds out he only had sex with the super hot man he met in the bar because he was paid to do so. However, not a single conversation about the consent of it all is ever really had, and the very iffy situation is kind of forgotten about.

When Noah, played by Johnny Sibilly, is shown to have a meth problem early on that is exacerbated by the shooting and death of his boyfriend, it simply goes away after he confesses his usage, not addressing the serious party-and-play problem in the queer community and brushing over what seemed to be a serious addiction based in trauma.

Things don’t seem to have improved between Chanel McFarlane and Mustard. More than a month after Mustard filed for divorce, the mother of three is seemingly leaving the family home behind. Instead, Chanel has opted to secure her first spot and keep it pushing!

“New chapter, stepping into my blessings,” Chanel wrote on Instagram Story. “This is the first time I have my own spot y’all.”

The post was a house key attached to a ring and coiled stretch band. This is the second time Chanel has broken her silence following Mustard’s divorce filing.

“Thank you for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. Anyone that followed me or knows me personally knows my family means the world to me,” Chanel wrote following the divorce news. “I’ve dedicated 12 loyal years and it is more than heartbreaking to see things end.”

In the paperwork, Mustard listed the exact date for the separation and the day of filing. He cited “irreconcilable differences” in the paperwork. However, he later took to social media to clear Chanel’s name amid infidelity rumors.

“It’s one thing to have my family business on the internet and of course, I initially didn’t respond cause I don’t owe the public no explanation but I do owe my family to clear these false narrative[s] that @ChanelDijon cheated that’s out and never happened,” Mustard wrote on IG Story.

Mustard also shut down rumors that infidelity happened on his end. He denied a circulating story about sleeping with his stylist. He wrote, “I’d never touch that girl ever.”

The former couple was together for about 12 years but tied the knot only in 2020. This means their divorce comes only after a year-and-a-half. They share three children–Kiylan, Kauner, and Kody.

It’s unclear if the divorce has been finalized, but that one thing about it, Chanel has existed left–for now!
