Song Structure Explained - Full Rap Tutorial

[@LonerBecause]

Even though I know all these formats. This is very helpful for beginner's.

[@RappingManualYT]

Thanks for watching. Don't worry, I have some things planned for the more advanced viewers, so I got you : )

[@wesleykellytv6019]

Rapping Manual that's what I hoping

[@etebomekuere3242]

You should start a skill share course. Your vids are the best tutorials for rap I've seen so far

[@internetuploads8246]

Never watched this video before. When you mentioned the storytelling structure I was thinking of immortal techniques song, and then you said it and it blew my mind lmao.

[@RappingManualYT]

That song is one of the greats man.. When the big reveal happened, I still remember how I felt..

[@mooroosicity]

very useful bro thanks

[@alibaloch2106]

arey jigar toh idhar kidhar😅

[@DillonJohnCollins]

Really good video my friend. Thank you for putting this together

[@KeeannaVibess]

When I make it, I’m giving you credit for my growth

[@LexaTerrestrialx]

I feel like in the last couple of years this has changed for the simple fact that listeners attention spans do not last that long.... and songs have gotten shorter due to algorithms & streaming. BUT this is definitely the traditional format

[@RappingManualYT]

Yeah, absolutely right. The video was made a few years back, when that structure still worked. Now, it's just quatrains and 8s. Anything longer, max it out to 12 bars. People tune out.

[@SaltSpirits]

3 minutes in: wait that’s not a real marker or hand

[@akogunkelvin1476]

Love your editing bro🙂

[@micahmarch4047]

Great video! Wish it had more views. Was the second video to pop up when I searched rap structure

[@conoroflow]

Blessings bro thank you for sharing this 🙏

[@kala9292]

Very good. Thank you bro

[@Cristianoenportugues]

Perfect example of the story telling structure is J. Cole's "Wet dreamz"

[@emanuelpinto5643]

The vídeo is very well done but its has the problem of the others i saw.. no One picks a song and gives examples.. whats the difference in the lines from section to section..

[@frogpop]

You have to look into it

[@spectrumbackingtracks6016]

This beat is lit 🔥nice

[@davide.valentini]

4 minutes is totally crazy unless you're travis scott and you put 3 different beats in a song

[@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693]

Travis Scott sucks. And 4 minutes is nothing if you have a lot to say. Good rappers use more lyrics and extremely diverse words in their raps than bad rappers do. If you look at Travis Scott lyrics against let’s say Mos Def, Travis Scott is going to have much less lyrics let alone skill.

[@davide.valentini]

@@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693 I'm italian so I don't really know that deeply American rap but I was just saying that in order to make a track "attractive" for the nowadays community it gotta be less than 4 minutes, if longer its not gonna be a popular song, I didn't mean to say it was gonna be bad

[@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693]

Davide Valentini True. Mainstream music is pretty bad tho. Short songs, reused lyrics, no word diversity and then they keep using the same marketing scheme which was originally intended for kids. Than that grew into everyone’s liking. Most mainstream music isn’t very real. Every aspect of the song is scientifically tailored to get stuck in your head. Specific frequencies, hooks, anything that will get stuck in your head.

[@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693]

Davide Valentini Songs under four minutes are designed so they end quicker and get to the next song quicker. That way you won’t get bored. It’s all marketing

[@davide.valentini]

@@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693 yeah that's what I meant from the beginning since the video was referring to mainstream music (or at least I intended it as such)... I just meant four minutes for mainstream music is way too much and you're not gonna make it to the charts, and the only exception is travis scott who is up there in the charts with a almost 5 minutes song

[@hesselappelenpeerislekkerk6334]

Awesome

[@iannmiller]

Great vid thanks !

[@RappingManualYT]

[@Karma_slime]

This helped a lot

[@LORDHoekalledGAuhEY69TH]

this is good bro you're funny

[@Shady-he1ei]

Hi bro, ccan u tell me how to get ideas for a song

[@RappingManualYT]

Look around, pinpoint the current challenge you are facing and use rhymes to find out how you think about what's happening to you and how to deal with it

[@willhamilton2349]

Great video, has anyone got an example of the 'before/after chorus' as I don't really know what he is referring to there? Thanks

[@RappingManualYT]

If you play any pop song, you will notice how after their verse, they have a section right before the chorus and then one right after it. It's there to make the song more memorable.

[@kok12-y9w]

@@RappingManualYT a hook

[@duskempire1613]

Is that a future reference at 6:06

[@MeesterAirdik]

He said “chorus chorus chorus after chorus **fk me, sigh…*” XD

[@xxxxxx-yw7sh]

Eminem used the storytelling structure right?

[@azer-kurdi5045]

Amnan Syakir not all the time fam

[@arshdeepsharma5963]

Whats a bar?

[@rayn2140]

lines

[@theantianimeassociation7574]

lines in the song. Kinda like a sentence in writing. For example: In this here "Im a boss with it authentic all ya frauds better quit with the trash talk before you get tossed in it yall trippin bar rippin yall sippin too much write till my palms drippin lost in it thoughts different" "Im a boss with it authentic all ya frauds better quit with the trash talk before you get tossed in it" would be a bar

[@nibblesofknowledge5]

[@greesy5644]

Good Video, but the 4 Minute thing seems pretty outdated in the rapgame
