[@bfkthaartist6148]

That rap at the beginning though lol 🔥🔥

[@shehateTD]

Intro rap really better than lil mosey xxl😂

[@princekulturehighlights4686]

I swear🤣🤣🔥

[@nelo9261]

Hard 😂🔥

[@CognacMac]

Bro your vids have helped me so much in the past two years! Fuckin love you man! The day I learned how to scat from you using "buh duh buh duh" was the turning point for me.i use to always focus too hard on what I wanted to say but once I learned how to scat I was able to get the sound I wanted and then worry about the words later, and after scatting oftentimes the words would come to me easier and fit nicely! I appreciate everything you've done man! Stay blessed 💓!

[@blacklegacyentertainment5757]

As an OG in the game with 7 albums published Im gonna co sign this lesson. Listening to his tutorial it was a breath of fresh air knowing that I've been practicing his rules since the 90s. I'm gonna drop some personal examples of his hooks...

[@youngkthegualla7348]

You changed my mindset in the rap game bro Listening to you I learned to write my own bars Thank bro

[@jtheman4678]

Yo that beginning flow, got me like whoa, this dude really knows what he's talking about and it shows every time he opens his mouth. So thank to you cole I'm a better rapper now

[@zuririma8402]

appreciate how clear u make it a point to be. im bilingual and tend to struggle to understand how people explain things sometimes, but i always understand what ur trying to tell us. really helps with my music projects

[@medvarnusdeshamrmundys]

11:43 kendrick lamar: i am the omga (ending it with answering to 4 letters) as an alchemist i knew wat he meant there and that vibes wit me cuh my bro and i are like dante and vergil im omega and my bro is alpha me having w witchy background it clicked fast so that vague chorus is a yup and u right in my book

[@ColeMizeStudios]

That's a dope comparison to Kendrick. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Much respect! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@BuddaGheeski]

All of the things you mentioned in this video is everything ive been doing unconsciously as of late. You just confirmed it for me 💯 Its almost like a I told you so or "I knew it" feeling of intuition

[@izaL.]

Bone thugs perfect example of old school call and response.

[@mustbetunexl]

I used to see your videos on my recommendation but i used to sleep on it but i didnt knew you teach so deeply man i feel so blessed and regret seeing it late

[@iam_mactiza]

Very educative

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks Mactiza! I'm glad you enjoyed my video! Much respect! ✌️😎 - Cole Mize

[@Sancho_Loco]

Dude thank you so much. I been working on a hook for this song for days and within minutes after watching I developed a beast

[@andresbg8757]

He started the video rapping, I’ll subscribe 👌🏼

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks Andre! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@TabzHighBank]

Tip three really helps, I realized before that I'm too specific and I've been getting better at being more vague.

[@realSTYLISHx]

So typically the structure to a song will be 16 bar verses and 8 bar hooks (ie 16,8,16,8,16,8)

[@OfficialTEG]

Between you and Rob level I've learned a lot of technical skills behind it. I'm still trying to get my delivery and mixes where I want them before releasing something.

[@raprtrigga]

Woowww man,dope intro😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Ashleyjojo999]

I hope your doing alright. God Bless You!!! You& your family are in my prayers

[@yodavidmorse]

Once again Cole, your videos are the best. So clear and practical. Also great examples

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks David! I'm glad you enjoyed it bro! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@stephengilbreath840]

Hooks are something I struggle with. I've had a few songs where the hook just came to me naturally, and others I had to struggle. My last song I just hummed through the hook part, but it fit the vibe of the song. I chose not to use a hook. Some songs I've cheated and used beats with hooks already in them lol

[@midable-mc2cz]

me too, it's not cheating, it is what it is.

[@KrystallPoppin]

Great advice thanks! 🔥🔥

[@ColeMizeStudios]

My pleasure Krystall! I'm glad it was helpful! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@SEEEGAAAaaa]

Hi cole, i was always frightened to write hooks are they seemed to specific, and always planned to make it last before giving up on it and just keepeing the verses i write. This video is very very on point i will always try to start from the hook from now on.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

That's awesome, I'm really glad to hear this video was helpful! That's what it's all about right there! Hang in there, you got this! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@harryindiano]

I hope you are fine. I mean it. Thanks for it I really needed the #tip 4❗ And can you please talk about how to improve ourselves in freestyles. It's just like adding scatting and songwriting at the same moment. 😎 Thanks Cole Mize

[@ropeywyla]

Really good video, well orated. Big ups from the Wyla!

[@Jbcrayon]

Bro this was super useful

[@ColeMizeStudios]

That's awesome! I'm really glad to hear my video was helpful! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@itzdreofficial6913]

Your vids and ebook has helped me a lot, since I'm starting of from the scratch right now

[@mik6457]

Yo! Much respect 🤣 love the intro on this video my G!!!

[@medvarnusdeshamrmundys]

Not knowing how to make a hook is my issue since day one i can rhyme amd flow i can write but i for my two songs used a spell to help me or jus rip-off a hook from another song with my own touch on it

[@ColeMizeStudios]

You're certainly not alone. I got really skilled as a rapper before I got skilled at writing hooks. Most rappers I have worked with are like that. We just tend to focus on writing lyrics for verses first before thinking about melodies and hooks etc.. There's nothing wrong with taking ideas from other songs and tweaking them. Keep up the hard work and I'm wishing you the best with your future hooks. You got this! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@denymb8952]

The hook of this video had a rap hook and that hooked me in

[@professorx3735]

Bro need more followers cause he breaks down things very well

[@JUAREZBANDOLERO]

thanks Bro great advice

[@odella]

Thank you for an excellent video!

[@symesalexander5294]

Great video as Always. Could you do a video or videos on Wordplay, Metaphors, Punchlines etc . I can construct Wordplay but its whack for example. "Ate ( Eight)four more than it's twelve " "Everything about the single life is good accept (Except) Loneliness " I try not to bore people so i rap diverse and avoid drills. Like i have no creativity.

[@madisonk2397]

I know this is an old comment but just wanted to say, what helps me with this is simply choosing one simple topic (something really simple, a noun like colors, money, shoes, whatever) and rhyming as much as I possibly can about that one thing. I do this an an exercise to loosen my brain up but this also often leads to a decent song in itself. You’ll be surprised how far you can take it, when the subject is simple you can come up with like 20000 different ways to represent it in rhyme

[@symesalexander5294]

@@madisonk2397 Thanks

[@oldirtybeats4420]

I love this guy, dude, you aren't top 10, you aren't top 5, you are top 1 homie❤️

[@Zallient]

After a chaotic process there is order. Thanks bro. #YinYang. 🕶

[@eddiehauser6661]

Whether it's hip hop or any genre I almost always start by scatting or just using random words and focusing on the sound first. While he's not a hip hop artist, I got this idea from Paul Simon, who is an amazing songwriter,

[@JB-mp9nb]

You should do a video on how to write your first song with a KZbin beat

[@lubutomwansa3178]

You always give out the best🔥🔥🔥

[@carlel9814]

Cole you Killed that intro

[@trixtheog]

Tip #4 is a big one.. Iv wrote so many verses to lots of songs then struggle with the hook. Then my love for the song dies. Tackling the areas that you suck the most will level up your whole game

[@sparrxw3]

Big help

[@yoyostevens772]

You such a blessing bro. Big up✊

Nice video! I have a good simple catchy hook, I can't wait to be able to record! Can anyone recommend a good place to get instrumentals besides KZbin? If you use a free instrumental from yt you just can't sale the song write?

[@sincerecartertm]

Catchy means comprehending more quickly

[@harveyquinn3535]

So what do I do if I already got some verses written to this beat, but the hook part is just kind of meh.

[@amandafiaccadori9775]
