Rap is a musical direction based on replacing vocals with recitative. The themes of the songs are socio-political problems, personality problems. Rap is part of the hip-hop subculture and is sometimes identified with it.
Instructions
Step 1
Hear professional rap musicians compose and perform. Analyze the construction of phrases, ways of playing with words and rhymes. Don't forget about the accompaniment: note that it is not based on a full-fledged musical fabric, but on rhythm: bass and drums. This technique is borrowed from African musical culture, the forerunner of rap.
Step 2
Choose a theme for your future song. Even if it does not coincide with the canons of hip-hop culture, it should be of interest to you, because you will not be able to captivate listeners with music and poetry that are indifferent to you.
Step 3
Record the instrumental base: drums first, then bass. The accompaniment should be low, slightly subdued, so use fewer hi-hats. Use small amounts of breaks and fractions too.
Step 4
Come up with rap on your own or in a small group of like-minded people. Create a relaxed, relaxed atmosphere, turn on the recorded accompaniment and the recording function in an audio player or sound editor, connect a microphone. State your idea and set the tone, that is, read the first stanza into the microphone. Sign up five to ten words with one ending. If you are in a company, then one of your friends will take over the initiative and the microphone, will continue to develop the topic.
Step 5
Listen to the recording. Edit it by cutting out unnecessary words, hesitation. Clean up the noises, adjust the volume. Effects are rarely used in rap, but for the sake of experiment, you can try.
