Kaaaa-Maaaa-Haaaa-Menttttttt for the power boost LMAO My God, I love letting the goofy thoughts out of my head now. Thank you Cole, you one of the main people that got me there. Taught me to unleash my last evil on a track and go to what I love.

[@nicholasboone9451]

Well I've been struggling with trying to get the word out when I start rapping I attend to stutter sometimes when learning how to flow on a beat I thought to myself I gotta slow down and re adjust my speed when I'm rapping + I've been working on writing songs but one thing I'm trying to is to make sure these songs make sense which is hard to do + my friend Noelle thats gonna be a singer and she's from East Stroudsburg is counting on me so that I can collaborate with her I sure hope my rap songs would come out great so that I wouldn't let her down

[@Shrapnel_Music]

You will get great, you clearly have the drive to do it. If the mic is still messing with you, I didn't really tell if it still did or not to you, but if so I have small tip, I never really had mic fright for real. But this fam, The Microphone is who you are talking you. Rather good or bad, Only thing is, you know they are a keyboard warrior they can't get you. You safe, let the lyrical stick unload. ❤

[@SpaceTrial]

That what I always stress about my lyrics man but don't worry you'll improve over time but don't settle for less just try writing and take out the song if it's good.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Hey Nicholas, I don't know for sure, but your "stutter" may just be that you haven't engineered the lyrics and your cadences to work together yet. I recently did a video that breaks down the step by step process on engineering your lyrics and cadences to work perfectly together 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWHFpoChr7eGqrcsi=dfq2IRjQeSP5vAGm In addition to this, if you haven't already, practice improvising cadences which will give you endless of ways you can flow on any beat. Here's a playlist that will help with that kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4Omga2ed9CMps0 I hope this helps you out bro! Keep up the hard work! You go this! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@Kaythecore]

[@QAHLAOFFICIAL]

found u on tiktok

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Hey! Thanks for finding me here as well! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@Shrapnel_Music]

Bro at 1:08 I literally have had to do that and usually because I rap the wrong words over and over. I change the lyrics on fly like a Dingle Berr... wait no Diddy. Also, people don't think it's bad, it's okay to do it. You are making art remember it's not as simple as pourin' water. My delivery gets so misunderstood, I rap off many times and such on purpose. I have a lot of stuff that is hidden in all my music. Like my vocal changes in pitches i change a lot, but all poet part of me? That don't really blend, (Yet) haha. I got an idea on my next record for the mix tape you might like Cole or it might be a big noob mistake I'll see. 🤣 Facts! Less can be better 100% brother. I was literally told by an artist I know that works with one of tech's original recorder (Studio I guess? 'Neil'), that Tech even had to be told. "Less is always more" Also, another suggestion I don't think I heard you mention it in this one. I know I learned it from you though. You can always try to speed the BPM of the beat you have, just see what it sounds like; takes seconds and can't hurt. Or, like I had to do with Momentum Unleashed; Change the beat completely, sometimes the puzzle piece just can not fit in a manner where the entire board is seen. Also, Cole brother are you like a genie? I call voodoo or hacks because like 65% of the videos you drop, are exactly at times I need to hear a very specific tip. Never would be this far (even though it's not very) well unless you compare old and new, haha. But real talk; Cole brother, you got me here years and years if not a decade faster than it would normally taken someone with all you have taught and still teaching me, till this day. Much Love and Respect Hope this block got read by people, I like Cole will gladly help. Here though so it boost Cole. ;)

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Yo Shrapnel, Yeah man that less is more statement is wisdom. Part of getting really good is something is developing the discipline of restraint. Just because you "could" doesn't mean you "should" lol. 😂 at the "Genie" comment. I'm really glad my content is timely bro, I aint doin' no witchcraft on this end or nuthin' lol Scouts honor! 🖐 But I'm really glad to be able to pass on some much game to you and helping others develop faster than I did is what it's all about! Be A Better Rapper NOW!!! Thanks for rockin' with me Sharpnel! Keep up the hard work and I'll be sure to do the same! Much love and respect as well! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@HeathanHChrist]

Yes Sensei 🙇🏿

[@Shrapnel_Music]

He feels like that for real. I'll be thinking about something and boom Cole drops a video on that the next day, I'm like; Krillin give me a Bean, I got to get back in there for The Master.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

[@TheDudeway]

Writing ! Especially creating metaphors !

[@BrotherInaw]

Delivery and coming up with new cadence is a challenge for me.

[@Shrapnel_Music]

Have you seen his video on scatting? It might be able to help if you haven't seen it. Keep it up Man!

[@ColeMizeStudios]

I feel you, my advice would be to focus on cadences first by learning to scat and improvise. Cadences have energy in and of themselves, and once you dial in your cadences your delivery will come more naturally. He's a good playlist filled with rap drills that focus on taking any cadence and building upon 👉 it kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4Omga2ed9CMps0 I hope this helps! You got this! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Good lookin out Shrapnel! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@yeetthebaby3595]

Can you please do analyzing on someone like Future or Young Thug ? 🙏

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks for the suggestion, I made note of both of them and added them to my request list ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@jasoncedarsigns1606]

Let’s hear some of the old music so we can hear for reference. 😊

[@jaderonakikissling]

Yo, I think you and How To Rap Drew should interview each other. That would be cool.

[@TheRealAviatory]

Have you made a video about rhyming with every or every other word on a line to make it sound catchy.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

I did a whole series on rhyming which covers all the core fundamentals of developing advanced rhyming skills which you can check out here👉 kzbin.info/aero/PL34dEKD8TsNd-O1cZGhsprHZutQFNUzPQ ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@Dawid-d2k]

can you make a video? about how to start writing and you don't know what to write about or how to do it

[@kimmiewolford2327]

I feel bipolar trying to figure out my voice thyroid cancer changed everything I’m trying my hardest too!

[@ColeMizeStudios]

[@ColeMizeStudios]

That's a good one! You got this! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@orca4037]

Hey Cole. These days I am struggling with breath control due to medical problems in my lungs. Moreover, I feel that whenever i rap, the words i just say start to slur and i can't rap for more than 2 bars. Lastly, whenever i write lyrics, it seems that it doesn't make sense due to the lack of vocabulary and selection of words. Can u provide me some tips on how i can hone my skills to be a better rapper? (You can reference me to ur videos if u want)

[@JustinPark-w5n]

I feel like I am occactionally dragging or rushing can you tell me how to fix thoes and also how do make my flow unqiue and complex??

[@BTR8989]

Can you breakdown AZ verse on Nas Life's A Bitch song? His flow feels flawless, as if you can't pick up a break in the rhyme pattern.

[@KelAlbertus]
