🎤 Rap Song Structure: Professional Secrets And Tricks 🎤
oh then it's on me right I'd say I'm out
I think it's probably all this money or
the cars only project I've been neat
when it's part of the game in this video
we're talking about a rap song structure
all types from basic to advanced what's
currently and commonly used as a rap
song structure I'm going to show you how
to arrange a song and then give you
examples of a song arranged very well
now this is extremely important for
numerous reasons and this video number
one I'm gonna explain to you what rap
song structure is number two explaining
why it is so vital and then number three
how do I rate this song properly we're
gonna get into this to kind of show you
example I'm also telling you to show you
some song structure secrets why case you
don't know song structure which is also
called song arrangement it's how
different sections in the song are
positioned to make up the overall
composition of a song and most
songwriters are rappers or you know
lyricist they don't tend to really
understand the massive value and
importance of good song arrangement when
it comes to bringing the listener on a
trip or a ride or a vibe through a song
because as artists we typically just
tend to think of the lyrics in the way
that our voice sounds when you really
break it down just as important and the
reason why somebody who is the producer
gets half of the song is because the
instrumentation be in the arrangement of
the beats are very very important the
order of the instruments the vocals the
loudness of each part and how much
instrumentation or instruments are in
each part is part of the arrangement and
the arrangement is going to intrigue
somebody who is a listener to want to
keep listening all the way through it
has to tickle their ear and it has to
bring them on a rollercoaster pretty
much if you get them on the
roller-coaster bring them through the
ride and then arranges so well but they
want to get on the ride again when you
structure a song correctly across the
board they'll be exciting the whole song
and then they'll build okay and when you
have that type of build is called
crescendo and crescendo is a slight
progressive increase in volume that's
why you'll have a song and kind of
starts here and when it ends it's
generally as loud as it gets especially
in pop music and there's a reason for
them because if you get on a
rollercoaster where's the most enjoyable
part you know I'm saying it's really
towards the end all right the end and
then it just kind of calms down what
happens you want
on that more right it's the same way
with a song the way that you arrange
them inside of that beat all the way
through the song matters because it
carries the listener through this song
and that's why song arrangement is so
important yeah are the six million
pieces of a rap songs arrangement and as
well as all popular music in general
right now is number one you have an
intro
number two is verses number three's
pre-chorus or post chorus and we're both
number four is chorus number five is
bridge number six is outro I'm next when
you want each one of these individually
are extremely important number one the
intro brings the listener in if you pull
them in within the first 10 seconds
they're already intrigued they want to
keep listening
you need that especially since you don't
get paid from a stream on a streaming
platform such as Spotify unless they
listen for at least 30 seconds so if you
don't pull them in the first 10 seconds
they're not gonna get to 30 seconds and
you don't get paid for a string very
valuable very important they're you know
why the verse is important but you also
need to understand and I have videos on
this how to pull them in with certain
lyrics in certain rhythms and certain
flows immediately instead of your first
if you jump in wrapping and it's not
interesting I'm turning it over okay a
pre-chorus is what leads or starts
building the tension and really start
typing the piece up prior to the course
so when the chorus drops it hits even
harder and the course is obviously the
most important part because this is what
people turn a song back on you turn this
one back on they hear that chorus 99%
it's not that's the reason why right and
then a bridge is not always existent but
a bridge is the piece towards the end of
the song is also called a middle eight
generally toward the end of the song
well that's what's called a bridge it
bridges the gap bridge happens about
here and it bridges it for this final
chorus to happen where it's just super
loud and the song goes off you don't
always have a bridge but a lot of songs
do have bridges bridges are extremely in
pop music there's generally always a
bridge like every Taylor Swift song how
you do the outro is the mood that you're
leaving the listener with when they when
the song goes off do you fade it at the
end you cut it off abruptly how long is
the episode how does it make them feel
when it's over and more importantly as
the outs will make them want to go back
to the intro again cuz that's how you
get that repeat say get them to keep
streaming your song that's what you want
so now let's talk about the most popular
song arrangements and rap music today
but hey all right now these are the two
most popular forms of song arrangement
and it's very simple don't get
overwhelmed with it it's obvious he's
always gonna start with
right so it can go intro then it goes
straight to a verse and that can be
eight bars twelve bars sixteen bars it
really depends on your song to delivery
how you're building it then it goes to
chorus verse chorus chorus outro now
we're the reason is a double chorus is
obviously they want to keep hearing that
chorus alright there's actually there's
so much to song arrangement but it's so
beautiful when she do this but let's
keep going now the second one that's
very popular is intro chorus so instead
of having a verse first and building to
the course the chorus comes in
immediately and people want to hear that
so they know they don't have to wait for
it but it also again it depends on how
you build your song so intro chorus
verse chorus verse chorus outro that's
very simple and this is a very standard
way that people make songs it doesn't it
doesn't necessarily always have to be a
double of course at the end maybe it's
just one course it brilliant appends on
all the factors but these are the
standard now let's talk about a little
tecna's ransom okay because there's only
one verse in a while there's not a 100%
woman this is his out legit to do they
generally follow the same guidelines
from the one that just showed you so
with little teca's ransom song he goes
it's actually he does it and it's a bit
of an extended verse but the reason why
you like this song so much is because
what look at how much of the song is
chorus I'll God it's all just the
catchiest parts over and over again and
a lot of pop music is like this but
generally tell pop music least tells a
story which the his song doesn't tell
story at all generally to be a second
verse to round up whatever was said in
the first verse and complete the story
right but in this circumstance he didn't
need to because it's just a rap song
about really nothing right but it's very
catchy so there's a lot of course going
on and what's that do that makes you
want to repeat the song over and over
and over again and also the listener
knows the lyrics for that for 80% of the
song why because 80% of the song is the
same and it's also the same melody so
it's easy to remember and this is why a
song like this can blow up very easy
very short song as well and that's why
it has a lot of replay value I saying
follow this it depends on your song that
depends you melodies depends on a lot of
things but this this works too there's
no 100% rule but generally you're gonna
have the verse of the course first so
I'm gonna region is about you have to
build your song you have to decide how
it goes okay and if you're producing
your own beats go ahead beside where
certain chores go and layer them in
certain places so that the song bills
properly remember I said the length of a
verse depends on
you build the song if you go listen to
my song shark tank you're gonna notice
that the verse the first verse is only
four bars and then what happens the
chorus seamlessly comes in right after
four bars alright and then you have
another verse and then the hook comes
back again and then you have another
person is actually three verses in this
song but I'm allowed to do three verses
because the first verse was only four
bars but I didn't want to jump in right
with the hook because I wanted to build
into the hook the course happens worst
happens course heavens verse happens and
then there's actually an outro that is
entertaining this audio and snippets of
them talking I didn't just end it I
ended it by wrapping up the story as if
I was delivering a pitch on shark tank
so they it creates an overall experience
and this is again this is a different
arrangement then the other Ranger has we
talked about bulaga first chorus verse
chorus verse chorus after all right very
easy very easy again the amount of bars
you decided do depends on how you're
writing the song depends on the floor
this one depends on the melodies you've
chosen I had a song I wrote last week
where I had 16 I had 16 bars I really
liked what the last four bars didn't it
just didn't go right like the delivery
of the first 12 firstly the bar is at
nine through 12
I love the delivery of them and they
made more sense for it to end on these
bars to go into the hook so I deleted
the sixteen left over twelve okay like
you have to make these decisions then
how does it flow cut out pieces then
actually notice one that I made so I'm
gonna need the most recent song that I
made I cut out a ton of bars and now
they have a twelve bar verses and then
it jumps right back into the super
catchy hook and actually I don't even
ever the course I am a verse okay
there's twelve bars at the end of the
song and then it goes out and what this
does to the listener and why I decided
to do this is the hook is so catchy on
this song when it ends you're like oh my
god there's no hook where's the hook I
need to hear this hook again they have
to loop it again to hear the song like
to hear to hear the hook again and
that's a little bit of a trick you can't
always do that but I can't and the
reason being is the way that I left off
the end of the song I murdered the verse
on the very end so you always want to
hear me murder it and I had the hardest
bar is the last bar on the song and it's
just like it ends with AK aggression
you're like oh my god I want to hear
that again so again part of the rules go
hasn't that always rules this is one of
the first songs I've ever done this word
I ended it with the verse now with the
core
actually a good time for me to make this
video right there's not always a rule it
depends on how does this song need to
end how does this what's gonna make the
listener want to loop this again what
sounds the best and also had a lot of
bars for this there wasn't even a hook
at first in this it was just like three
minutes of bars then it turned out I
don't like a lot of the bar so I started
cutting out the bars that weren't is
flowing didn't match as well and I
replace those parts with the hook area
and then I went back in I took out
something that wasn't entertaining
enough and added speed rap in there
because I'm like this needs some speed
raps somewhere to change it up and
excite the listener and that happens in
the second verse before the hook happens
which the last look that happens in the
song so you just want to hear that all
again it's all about the ride okay this
is this is a song rate yeah it's one
