 How to Be a True Hip Hop Artist

This is a question so many artists have asked me countless times, so when I came across this article today I had to share it with all the artists out there, not only the artists but everyone generally, will be able to find out more about what we do (Hip Hop Rappers/Rappers), maybe that way they will be able to understand were the artists are coming from lyrically and will appreciate the music better, so scroll down and enjoy!!! Don't forget to leave your comments.

Here are a few concepts, or in other words, the main

way on how to be a true hip-hop artist.

Have your own style. Be unique.

Here's some styles that you can merge into

your own but its important to always have your own style as a foundation.

South side (It consists of rapping fast and

sharp. The beats are juicy and unique).

East coast (It consists of rapping strong and

powerful. The beats consist of samples,

scratches and ambiance).

West coast ( It consists of rapping loud and

slow, the beats are heavy based, instrumental

based and have lots of bass drops)

Midwest ( It consists of rapping gentle and

tender, the beats have jazz samples,

synthesizers).

Think of rapping as boxing and you are a

boxer, each style is a different fighting

technique; use your style to take down the

opponent. Your music is the fight, each line is a

Jab, the hook is the hook, the chorus is the fury

and the Outro is the KO.

Write your own lyrics. Don't take other

people's lyrics or styles.

Think the unthinkable, make your music

unexpected and an original flow

Use older (90's and back) soul/funk/disco music as

your creativity such as The O jay's, Kool and the

Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, Roy Ayers and Elektrik

Funk. The less known by today's people, the more

unique it is.

You can be from the middle class and still be able

to rap creatively. You don't have to from the hood

to be good. Look at the Fugees, and a lot of' other

artists. Don't underestimate yourself because of

where you come from.
