and If I can only use my own words, I'll use them to the beat of the music.

What helps me to write is instrumentals, either your own, or of songs you don't know.

Easy to think up lyrics that way.

We are talkin bout open mics and songs yeh........ cos battles can be written all time namsayin.

well...i like hearing other people on this site drop when they first get a song finshed like a hot track it makes me wanna...other den that lil.flip, g-unit, 2pac...there love shits good...Jin to

Lose Yourself - Eminem :thumbup:

i agree with everyone who said they cant write with music playing in the background coz i will end up using the words i hear and it just puts me off. i also agree with writing to instrumentals i think u get better flow that way plus its good to rap ya lyrics to the beat.

i watch one tree hill:) no really.

i usually listen to eminem. uppin

uppin this thread^^^^

werd to pepsi, but don't forget the shots too....
plain pepsi is jus that...PLAIN PEPSI

i usually listen to nas...
everytime i hear one of his songs i get inspired to write something just like that...then i realize that i could never write something as good as something nas just dis, but i try anyways...

yo when I wanna make something sick I listen to a sick song...
like if Im in the mood to do some crazy freestylin and pretend Im ripping someone then i'll listen to some krunk songs like "got urself a gun" or "in da club" or "breathe", basically something crazy...
then when im in the mood to do something mellow i listen to something like
"dear mama" or "juicy" or some soft rap...u know what am saying...

and apart from some of u...when I wanna write something crazy the best way for me is to listen to someone elses music at the same time, that way when they say something in their lyrics they inspire me to say something sick too...

:huh: I dont know "that's just the way it is"...(instead I see no changes...lol)
