Rap is an art that requires a lot of talent. Rapid rap is a skill that takes a lot of practice. The fastest rappers in the world can drop about a dozen syllables per second. But it's not just about how fast you can rap, as even the fastest rappers need to be very creative and inspirational music artists.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Practice with tongue twisters
Step 1. Find some difficult tongue twisters
Don't settle for simple children's tongue twisters. Look for the longest and hardest tongue twisters you can find. Choose several tongue twisters that focus on different letters of the alphabet.
Try something like: "What a mandarin Maria had a snack, what a snack she ate. Looking at the mandarin, Macario thought that an apple would be better. What a mandarin Maria had a snack, what an apple Macario ate. Looking at the mandarin and Maria's apple, Mariela thought that a melon would taste better. "
Step 2. Read the tongue twister out loud
Concentrate on the enunciation of the words. Pronounce each syllable clearly and as fast as you can. This will help loosen your tongue muscles so you can speak faster.
Step 3. Recite the entire tongue twister in one go
This exercise will improve your breathing so you can use better technique when rapping. It can also help you increase your lung capacity. This is important to be able to rap fast because it will teach you to pronounce more words with each breath.
- If you can't recite the tongue twister in one go, try some additional breathing exercises to do just that.
- The hiss is a good breathing exercise for beginners. Breathe in for a count of 4. Breathe out hissing for a count of 4. Then breathe in for a count of 6 and hiss for 10. Breathe in for a count of 6 and breathe out for a count of 12. Breathe in for a count of 2 and breathe out for a Breathe in for 4, breathe out for 16. Breathe in for 2, breathe out for 16. Breathe in for 4, and breathe out for 20. Breathe in for a count of 1 and hiss out for a count of 20.
Step 4. Correct your mistakes
When you make a mistake by mistake, start over until you get it right. You have to get it right the first time and every time. When rappers perform live, they only get one chance to get it right. Mistakes are inevitable, so don't beat yourself up for it. Just keep working to minimize the frequency of them.
Step 5. Repeat the tongue twister more quickly
Do this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes a day to practice your technique and increase your speed. If you want, you can time yourself to see how fast you are getting over time.
Method 2 of 4: Memorize Song Lyrics
Step 1. Pick a rap song to learn
You can choose a rap song that plays at any speed. Sometimes it is better to start with a song that is not too fast. Artists like Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent or Biggie have a lot of songs with a calm flow or rhythm that most aspiring rappers can imitate.
Step 2. Find the letter
Read it several times while listening to the song. Focus on the letter and remember it accurately.
Try to focus on the meaning of the letter or visualize the story it tells to help you remember it better
Step 3. Raps along to the song
Put the letter aside and recite it from memory. Try to keep up with the music.
Step 4. Raps without the music
Recite the lyrics from memory without the help of music. If you forget the lyrics, try again from the beginning. Keep going until you can finish the whole song.
Step 5. Repeat these steps until you have the letter completely memorized
Rap lyrics should always be recited. Never read the lyrics when performing live or in the studio. Once you can recite the lyrics from memory, you can focus on playing the song faster.
Method 3 of 4: Improve your flow
Step 1. Practice, practice and practice
You need to develop your skills regularly if you want to become a speedy rapper. Take time each day to recite tongue twisters and perform rap songs. You can practice for an hour or two, but then take a break to rest your vocal cords. Stay eager, focused, and committed to getting better every day.
Step 2. Take a look at some techniques from the fastest rappers like Tech N9ne, Twista, Eminem, and Big Metra
Notice how certain phrases are performed with a certain inflection or tone. This can convey sarcasm, irony, or humor. Good rappers will continue to effectively convey the meaning of their lyrics even when they rap quickly. Practice using the inflection of your voice to convey meaning when you rap fast, too.
Step 3. Pay attention to pauses
Once you learn to rap fast, you need to learn to take quick breaks. This will give your audience time to process the lyrics. Changing the beat as you perform will not only add flair to your performance, it will provide a nice contrast to make your rapping speed feel even faster.
Try to recite the alphabet as fast as you can, but pause after the letters E, G, and N. This will help you learn to go fast when instinct tells you to pause and to pause when you would normally continue speaking
Step 4. Learn the lingo
Rap has its own vocabulary. There are many terms that you will not be familiar with unless you study them. If you come across a word in rap lyrics that you don't know, look it up in an urban dictionary. Maybe you can use it in the future to create your own lyrics.
Method 4 of 4: Write your own handwriting
Step 1. Use your imagination
The best lyrics transform thoughts into words. Keep your lyrics simple enough for everyone to understand. Listeners shouldn't need a dictionary to understand your songs. Make up creative rhymes as much as possible.
- Large letters can combine original ideas with unique thoughts that express your views on the world. A good example is this verse from Canserbero:
And it was clouds that I used as trampolines / and sharks that I dressed as dolphins / a rainbow slide, through / where I let myself fall until I landed in a river of peace
Step 2. Memorize the words
To perform a song, you must know the song backwards and forwards. It is impossible to rap fast when you are not sure of the next phrase. The moment you know the letter as if it were your own address or phone number, you are ready to introduce yourself.
Step 3. Develop your own style
Fast rappers are all unique in their performance and you must be too. Use your training and knowledge to perform songs that reflect your influences as well as your own unique approach. It's not just about how fast you are, but how fast you are.
- The delivery style should reflect who you are as a person: maybe you are cold, intense or elegant. These attributes should be reflected in your interpretation.
- Introduce yourself confidently, if you don't have it, then fake it until you do. If you are not sure of your music or of yourself, your audience will not be convinced by your interpretation either. Part of being a great artist is selling your performance to the audience.
