"How do I write a rap?"

Rap music is very popular in Germany. The texts are mostly in English, but often also in German and sometimes even in French. No matter which language you choose: A rap is a great way to bring topics that are important to you into an artistic form. But here the first question arises: what should you write about?

The right topics for your rap

• Before you start with the To write begin, you should narrow down a topic. Think about what makes you want to write a rap.
• You will find that it is likely an emotion that is causing you to do so.
• Regardless of whether you are particularly angry, sad or happy at the moment - reflect on what exactly is the core of this emotion and set this topic as the topic for your rap.
• Even if that sounds more like school assignment: Make a few bullet points and put them in an order that you can also imagine for your rap. So you have a basis for your rhymes.

How to write your own rap

Now you can start writing your own rap:

1. You should of course start with the first sentence. You can think up this freely - it should just not be long and nested. Sido's song "Mein Block", for example, would not work if he raped "In my block, here in Berlin, in Germany, where the weather is seldom nice, everyone knows: We are stars".
2. When you have your first, short, succinct sentence, look at the last word and think of words that rhyme with it.
3. Then try to form a sentence that ends with one of these rhyming words.
4. If you fail to do this, first form two sentences that do not rhyme and then two sentences that rhyme with both.
5. Then continue with the variant you have chosen, point by point.

Also, always make sure that the sentences that are supposed to rhyme are of the same length, i.e. have the same number of syllables. At the end you will have a simple rap that you can easily turn into a song even as a beginner.
