By dissecting song lyrics, album covers, and artist histories you have the opportunity to discover stories of sexism or racial differences in an expressive and creative format. You may identify with ideas in the following videos and find inspiration for creating your own piece. Pay attention to the difference between Drake and Lil Wayne’s writing process. Find comfort in the idea that you and your peers may construct your raps differently. Pay attention to what inspires them. Take note of the purpose behind why Kanye wrote his rap lyrics for Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Also, notice that he knew he needed to spend more than just 5 minutes to write the lyrics of, "Power." Remember to be patient when you write. Eminem looks at his raps as puzzles that he pieces together throughout the process. Consider this idea when writing. You can add and move words around in lines until you feel they flow the best.
Soak in what you just heard And play with any word you like It doesn’t make you a nerd Get some ideas on the page like tortillas being made into burritos just a draft you can veto later on. I know my raps are lame but don’t go aimin’ shame at my name when I’m trying to change the game from poetry to rap so in class you won’t wanna nap instead tap, clap, and snap to the beat of education playing with dictation where before you know it you’ll be a poet Just have fun we’ve just begun Pretty soon you’ll be impressin’ everyone!
