How do you write to a beat?
 

Can someone help me with this?...I just don't see how someone can listen to a beat..and then write down shit that'd go with it.I know your sopposed to hit the snares with rhyming words..but how do you do that?

Can any audio heads help me? :huh:

first picka beat that you feel..usally i listen to it im like dam shit comes to me right away...and i just jot it down...


just listen to it..and flow wit it you don't wanna just make anything and not flow at alll

dont worry so much about having the rhymes hit the snares and shit....
just flow wit the beat, u take control of the beat dont let it take control of you..

well my take on it is kinda liek this. Make sure that your bars are within the bars of music. Don't be talking at the connection point between one bar and the next. limit your lines to them four beat-hits of the bar man and it's hard to go wrong. Just make sure your syl pacing is on the money, liek dont' have the first half of a bar start off at like..14 syls and the second half like 8. It'll sound liek you smooshed everything in the first half. Just some basic stuff to get a good idea what's going on. You have any tracks laid I can hear?

Usually I listen to the beat 4 or 5 times, and I put an X everytime I hear a place to put a rhyme word, and then listen 2 or 3 times after that and then write.

thx for the help everyone...


& I'm just starting audio..I've yet to make a track....

Word to Dooms. That's a good way to start off writing in general. Later down the road your style and flow will become more complex and you'll have adapted to being able to write to beats effectively.

Tap my foot to the beat on my head so I can hear it better.

just listen to the beat over and over. And jus keep like freein' to it. Like see what comes to your mind, and write it down and shit.....

word to that.

15 char sucks.

Spul biting my steez and don't even know it.

whut u mean put an X?

lol word, that works good tho. ~_~ *waits for someone to use most played and false diss towards me* :rolleyes:

Looks like you're biting again Spul...:cool:
it is officially played.

sometimes i trhink of a theme, or type of track i wanna write, and than find a beat to do it to....... but usually, the thing that works better is when i just find a beat im feeling and than write about whatever comes to me..... sometimes i actually free to the whole beat a few times, and what ever style and lines actually sound good, i keep..... i usually find the best rhyme scheme to a beat by doin that...... (recordin a few frees to it and seein wat goes best with the beat)

i unno if that sounds confusin, but do u know wat i mean?
