5 Tips for Rap Artists<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Timing- <\/strong>Like in all music the rhythmic timing is everything. Regardless of what the beat is or how good the music sounds, if your lyrics and delivery do not match the time signature of the beat, you will lose the attention of the audience listening.<\/li>\n
  2. Music- <\/strong>The music isn\u2019t everything, but it plays a big part. I am not saying that you always need a complicated beat, I have heard some of the best emcees do incredible a cappella verses. You do need to realize that the tone of the music must match the tone of your lyrics \u2013 happy music with sad lyrics clash. Also, be aware of music that is too busy. That can take attention away from your lyrics.<\/li>\n
  3. Clarity-<\/strong> Everyone wants to be the fastest rapper out there, but speed isn\u2019t for everyone. In fact, sometimes \u201cspeed kills.\u201d The faster you rap the more important clarity and enunciation of your words become. I am not saying that you have to sound like my 8th<\/sup> grade grammar teacher; I just want to understand you.<\/li>\n
  4. Originality- <\/strong>Originality is a key ingredient in great art. We must always consider hip-hop as an art-form. I would always encourage young emcees to take the time and create something they can call their own.<\/li>\n
  5. Authenticity-<\/strong> Everyone cannot be Lecrae, Toby Mac, or Andy Mineo. You only have one option, and that is to be you. If you try and be like someone else, you will fail because that is not who you are called to be. Others can influence you, but you must realize that you have your own story to tell. You have your own message that you have been given to share. I can guarantee that people will appreciate and relate to the real you more than the you who is trying to replicate your favorite rapper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":3043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[305,3,8],"tags":[469,134],"class_list":{"0":"post-3042","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-student-ministires","8":"category-youth-ministries","9":"category-youth-quest","10":"tag-faf","11":"tag-fine-arts-festival","12":"entry"},"title_es":"Cinco consejos para Rap Artistas","content_es":"5 consejos para Rap Artistas
    1. Timing-<\/strong> Al igual que en toda la m\u00fasica la sincronizaci\u00f3n r\u00edtmica es todo. Independientemente de lo que el ritmo es bueno o c\u00f3mo suena la m\u00fasica, si sus letras y la entrega no coinciden con el tipo de comp\u00e1s de los latidos, se perder\u00e1 la atenci\u00f3n de la audiencia escuchando. <\/li>
    2. M\u00daSICA-<\/strong> La m\u00fasica no lo es todo, sino que juega un papel importante. No estoy diciendo que siempre necesita un ritmo complicado, he o\u00eddo algunos de los mejores maestros de ceremonias hacer incre\u00edbles unos versos a capella. Usted tiene que darse cuenta de que el tono de la m\u00fasica debe coincidir con el tono de sus letras - la m\u00fasica feliz con una letra triste choque. Adem\u00e1s, ser conscientes de que la m\u00fasica est\u00e1 demasiado ocupado. Eso puede desviar la atenci\u00f3n de sus letras. <\/li>
    3. Todo el mundo claridad-<\/strong> quiere ser el rapero m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido por ah\u00ed, pero la velocidad no es para todo el mundo. De hecho, a veces \u201cla velocidad mata.\u201d Cuanto m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que el rap la claridad m\u00e1s importante y enunciaci\u00f3n de sus palabras se convierten. No estoy diciendo que usted tiene que sonar como mi 8\u00ba<\/sup> grado profesor de gram\u00e1tica; S\u00f3lo quiero entender. <\/li>
    4. La originalidad Originality-<\/strong> es un ingrediente clave en el gran arte. Hay que tener siempre en cuenta el hip-hop como una forma de arte. Siempre animo a maestros de ceremonias j\u00f3venes a tomar el tiempo y crear algo que puedan llamar suyo. <\/li>
    5. Autenticidad-<\/strong> Todo el mundo no puede ser Lecrae, Toby Mac, o Andy Mineo. Usted s\u00f3lo tiene una opci\u00f3n, y eso es ser t\u00fa. Si tratas de ser como otra persona, que se producir\u00e1 un error porque no es que usted est\u00e1 llamado a ser. Otros pueden influir en ti, pero hay que darse cuenta de que usted tiene su propia historia que contar. Usted tiene su propio mensaje que se le ha dado para compartir. Puedo garantizar que la gente podr\u00e1 apreciar y relacionarse con el verdadero usted m\u00e1s que el que que est\u00e1 tratando de replicar su rapero favorito. <\/li><\/ol>","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/04\/5-Tips-for-Rap-Artists.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4T9u2-N4","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
