never thought I'd be getting rap lessons from Kobe Bryant.. but this is very useful
haha
haha
haha haha
lmao
😂😂
To everyone bitching about Drew calling Eminem decent in this video. Don't get ahead of things and jump into conclusions. He mentions Eminem in almost every video and talks about how he is one of the greatest.
Ive only seen 2 vids from this guy and i could tell right off the bat he really respects ems skill, using him as example with his beat, and another talked how he freestyles.
That literally one of my favourite songs.
The decent rapper line was a joke.
Good point though
smh, people didn't see the sarcasm when he said "decent"
DAMN the flow even exist when he talk
i heard that
who else watching this because they wanna be a future rapper
Yo if you need beats check out my channel!
Me!
SpydaWebs Beats thank you!
SpydaWebs Beats what program do you use to make beats?
Ben Frank FL Studio
"Just drums with words." Thank you for this. I've been trying to explain this to people but haven't been able to articulate it. The tuplet flow in a lot of today's rap is another type of percussion.
Kobe Bryant is teaching us how to rap
Kobe is dead :'(
@@ea-zs2qz no shit
I now realise that it's kobe bryant wow he has a good flow
Be hittin' different now 🥺
I was so ready to hear the rap cause at 1:46 sounded like he was gonna rap.😄
IKR
I came here to see how to get rap flow in Godzilla last part
Yo, he started rapping without any effort.
This is a very first flow basic lesson for every beginner rapper to learn.
Didn't know Kobe Bryant was this great at rapping!
Good video. Another addition to your flow is internal rhymes and changing rhyme schemes unexpectedly. I find freestyling often can make you develop a flow of your own easily, you just gotta experiment with different techniques. You can also make random sounds that rhyme to create new flows, Tech n9ne does this.
+How To Rap u said kick u in your face like high pow lol
Internal rhymes change the game
Lucid Trees true because when ur pushed to rap of the dome it shows ur natural flow
You gotta be careful though. Poorly constructed internal rhymes will quickly make you sound amateurish and throw off the listener
What’s internal rhymes and how can I help develop this brother? Thanks fellas
this guy looks like kobe
austin garcia he sounds a very specific way too lol good video tho
not really a Kobe fan but still a good video drew, keep it up man *****
austin garcia Looks like Ludacris to me
austin garcia They all look the same to me... Jk hahaha xD
THExGALACTICxOG ikr
Your comparison to drums is dead on. Have a consistent tempo, fast tempo with slow fills, slow tempo with fast fills, completely irregular time signatures etc etc. Dope vid though man.
He went off when he said "kick you in the face like hipow!"😂😂😂😂
The second flow reminds me of how logics flow is
I love this dude this dude actually top ten people Eminem is afraid to dis
Hahaha
Do you guys ever need a break from writing lyrics and Making Beats? I write lyrics and make Beats Daily and i need a break sometimes. Do you feel That way too?
Tupac yeah
Yes. Usually because I do everything from an inspirational stand point. If I’m not inspired, it’ll be harder to write
If I'm tired, not focused, inspired, or determined, I don't write
If I feel good or frustrated, I can write
i switch between lyrics/rapping and beats/producing, if i do one i cant do the other until the next day
Yo Drew. Would love to see you teaching about the writing process. How to deal with syllables, word placement, rhyme structures, compositions and so on. Keep the grind man. Really insightful content plus a lot of side knowledge that you pass.
The flow is the seasoning in a rap
'A pretty decent rapper' turns on the rap legend eminem XD good tips tho
Sinister Shady your name shows you’re a stan
yea I try to tell guys that flow is basically how you chop the syllables. Pretty good explaination.
Whenever I freestyle with a slow flow my friends always cut me off with their own freestyle lol it pisses me off so I feel like I have to go faster
😂😂 that happens :P
Peter Adler if you don’t smack him
Start off with a diss on people who interrupt other mcs 😂
Dude in grade 6-7 i could flow fast pretty fast. a good 6 years later i can only do simple basic rap after not doing it for a while. Back then rap was pretty simple now its everywhere
4:05 eminem admitted to memorizing lines and certain bars to have on deck, just incase.
Rap is more than rhymes and going through tough shit in life.
When (some) black/African people talk, they sound like they're already rapping. I admire that. They have a flow.
"don't you wanna grow up to be just like me!?"
Am I the only one who kept hearing that when he played that beat?
Hey awesome freestyle Drew, your advice is dope. After watching your videos I have seemed to improve my flow and I hope you keep making more
bro When i was rapping with my friends in school I Accidently talk crap about the princaple man she got pissssss off dude
😂😂😂
crazy fly 345 this story gave my cancer
Same lol
Mate that video was really useful. Shout out from England. Liked & subscribed.
I don't know if you listen to much UK rap & if so you'd say there's even more ways of looking at the flow. If you were to include something like Grime for example
Sounds like Method Man
Thank you for the lessons, Drew! You're doing God's work. I'm learning how to rap and I found this Hella useful.

I can see you are also a fan of eminem, you are an amazing teacher for those beginners there and for us advanced lyrysists, you know how to teach
If you're a rapper who needs beats, you can use mine for free (if you credit me) :)

+Thomas073_ thanks homie

The more you rap write and freestyle the better you get.The better you get helps you to control your levels.Google vocab rhyming words with the meaning.google will tell you what the words mean and how to pronounce it.Email all of your stuff to yourself.Print and make backups and put them in diff spots.
Did you just call eminem the white guy with 12 gramys and OSCAR a "decent rapper"
lool I think he did
+100% beast mode boss yeah here we go again EMINEM is a God / Kendrick is a God man fuck this shit every rapper have he's own moments ! every rapper is known for he's own shit there's no such thing as a best rapper !
Why did you have to add "the white guy" like that made them any better
+100% beast mode boss hey I'm not saying he's not emenim ID a legend in rap but I'm saying some people say 2pac is the best and there's people that say EMINEM is the best what I'm saying is all of the rappers out there have there moment there's no best rapper of all time !
There is no best 👀
Thanks man! Im following my dreams and you helped me out! New subscriber!
I love eminems style. I usually do that one here.
I thought you had already started spitting out a few bars at 1:39, you speak in rhythm 🤣🔥 thanks a lot!
Great tuto! thank's from france
“Kick you in the fcking face like hi-pow” 😂 love the vid 💪🏽
thank's for teaching me to rap
This is Boogie but i change my name to Jabaree Norman that's my real name so I got a new phone and check out my UA-cam
sweet bra, been breaking it down myself. as I freestyle similar to yourself of the top. gonna use this for the youth mentor program get them freestyling for a session.
my floooww is good i have problem with using different ryhme scheme

For flow try small patterns
Wrist game with no disdain/my boy Tom flows insane/2 points with that mid range/look both ways when I switch lanes
Black people good at rapping!!
+Lady Gaga Animation Sketch and white wtf
yes because it originates from us
+Lien3383 Eminem is fucking trash and I don't need white people aka outsiders to tell me who is the best in OUR culture and music . Eminem eats shit against nas
+Lien3383 Eminem is not the best idiot get it through your thick skull. White people always trying to make the white guy look like the best . When in reality Eminem is fucking garbage
That's just racist
Ever heard of a child, aged two
Having to go through what I’ve been through?
Staring through the door frame,
Source of my pain,
The Gorilla Gang came and
Shot moms in the brain.
Snatched up and strapped up,
Taught to be a savage,
It’s kill or be killed
So my enemies I ravaged.
For five years strong,
Internal Armageddon.
Killing and cocaine,
No way to refrain,
I’d miss my family silently in the midnight rains.
With an AK47 and one hundred rounds,
Line up another family
Then they’d hit the ground.
That sinking feeling in your gut,
If you don’t shoot - you’re shot.
Annihilate, fear is a perfect motivator.
Turn a young buck into a sick fuck
Just like the Terminator.
An Exterminator, child soldier marching on,
Gripping tightly to my gun,
What I’ve done was not for fun.
But it’s just begun,
‘Til my last breath I’m still a soldier.
When I was young I hoped it over,
Now I’m older and know better,
It’s not always stormy weather,
Spend my life just stacking cheddar
Was encumbered - now unfettered.
I just rapped this.
Niice
Nice dude
You ain't stacking cheddar, if you were stacking cheddar, you would be stacking forever, what you stacking cheddar for a rainy day, till all this cheddar stacking get wasted away, I'm taking your cheddar, melting your cheddar, better stack higher, make your stack bigger, make your stack better.
Lit but now people are going to stell it like me
Thanks fam. Now me and my homefries can pop out some sick rhymes in our new dope ass mixtape.
U called Eminem a pretty decent rapper ??????
He is
+Yooy Fog logic is the shit not emine.
+Savage PremiiZz Logic is mixed, he doesn't really count.
the way I see it , everybody is entitled to an opinion, and anytime you argue with another person about someone being good or not it's just an opinion, you make your own assumptions
+Lewis Rushton If anyone thinks Eminem is/was anything less than great has bad taste in music.
my story is one that can touch peoples live and even though its my story my life....just thru my words my emotions no matter what the next person story is they can relate to my music....thats always been my goal..
Anyone else think that the vast population of Eminem fans are like christian extremists who just simply say "God exists" or "Eminem is the best" without any form of information to back it up?
Frenchy iMan Yeah, those two statements are pretty whack.
Eminem is god.
+How To Rap you suck at freestyle check out my channel and see mine
Rangator raps well meth
Rangator raps I was on a mix of coke and meth large doses then a man brutally beat me for stealing all his drugs

Shit and I was thinking my stuff was bad cause it so loose and open. Now I realize the error of my way, I was my hardest critic. What I need was flow. Thanks bruh.

futuristic all the way bitch.
Nah speaker knockerz is still better
Eh nice point
holy shit, don't know if anyone notices but he sounds just like method man when he raps....sick
Anyone else think he kinda looks like Kobe Bryant?
If you ever wondered if Drew's videos actually help, all I gotta tell you is that they are timeless and you can always come back and re-learn from him!
This guy said pretty decent rapper to Eminem lol bruh
He was joking!
Eminem is good in my opinion
Really dope, Drew! I'm from Brazil and it has been nice to watch your videos about how to rap and stuff! Keep it up!
My problem is my flow i just can't seem to flow with a beat
Codey Horn munch shrooms
It takes practice man! Do it everyday and you will become good at it. I promise!
Codey Horn lol
Codey Horn Try simply listening to beat with good ass speakers and try to tap to it then pick which mood is good with the beat style. Once you finally feel that rhythms then GO.
No money and started from the bottom
But don’t give a xuck about the situation
You’ll get anything you want in the future.
You can achieve everything you want. Shit.
Good tips for novice rappers
am I the only one who thinks he looks like ludicrous. I just started not to long ago freestyling I ain't new to this. thanks for the help the video was pretty lit. keep up the good work you're to legit to quit.
David Magallon just noticed this was a rap😂 👍🏻
+SW1006 /Gaming/Music/And more!/ gracias I know I was just with flow. so I just put what I thought in the comments below.
+SW1006 /Gaming/Music/And more!/ no pun intended, I'm just listening to instrumentals don't know we're it's headed
LudaKobe.
Too legit
Thanks you I love you ❤️ finally I can rap thanks to your tips ✌🏻🌊
maybe you should of written down the lyrics insted of freestyling these styles....
Instead
y'all can't KNO 2 much COMIN 2 a how 2 rap video. this dude droppin facts. if YALL wanna make it 4real, stop LOOKIN at other rappers as gods
im just starting out on singing and stuff, but music and singing runs in the family as in drawing and dancing. anyways my friends and i are starting a girl group, and they said im in more of the "in your face swag. and break stuff.." but i wanna learn rap and be able to sing as well. i can rap to Linkin park bleed it out.. (of course, i listen to the song millions of times and practice at it. ) but any advice for me and the group and the rapping parts for me?
It all comes down to time! If you put in the time with any craft, you will get better! The best tip I ever got was to get CLEAR on EXACTLY what you want! Know what music you want to make first, then you will be able to create it :)
Ty big homie...I've been watching your vids since last year and you help me in many things and i just want to thank you.
Love the flag
hey i love everything you're doing with the channel everything helps a ton! but i would advise if you could add your songs you use in the bio and give us maybe a playlist with good basic songs and organize them by flow speed? maybe just make some playlists on your soundcloud that we can have access to
uk grime is even faster
check out my music bro I'm 14 years old and have a lot of learning to do give me feedback

+YVNG NAMEK subbed 🔥
Your beats are straight fire.
from a pretty "decent" rapper
1:40 I thought he was free styling lmaooo
I’m better at writing rap lyrics than rapping
Here is a rap that i made its kind of like a diss track
The beat drops as deep as your IQ.
I never lose, because losing is the act of people like you.
Beyond the walls of rap, life is defined.
I think of rapping when I'm in a hype state of mind.
How To Rap
Thanks

thank you so much how to rap you the goat man no cap 🐐 i had to watch this video a couple of times the first time i watched it i just watched and got the information but the second time i watched it my skills were way better so i instantly input this practice into a beat and it helped a lot💯 i appreciate you man 7 years later still helping rappers out! now that’s real ✊🏾
No but Eminem Doesn't Rap Like That He doesn't introduce himself
HEYINGTVD -ROBLOX my name is what? my name is who?
Would the real slim shady please stand up
Fricka fricka slim shady
Ilhan Danish dumbass.
also there is even faster flow on the second beat. Maybe not that good for freestyling, but in my opinion the dopest
He said Eminem was a "pretty decent rapper" when he played the instrumental
Gavyn Elliott just fucken chill man damn

Glad it was helpful!
Black skin = +10 flow, +10 skills. I envy...
Thanks bro I learned a lot from this video

this video was soooo helpful thumbs up!
Luv that, he casually says "a pretty decent rapper..." puts on Eminem.. I'm like 😂 😂 😂
I love your style
Right on bro this video helped me out a lot 💯🔥
Thank you so much for this video, the first one I've seen with really great and distinct examples of flow. Love it!
***** Wow! I can't believe you actually replied. This made my day, keep up the great work with the videos, I think it's awesome that you can explain the technicalities behind rap. Will definitely use your tips in my next rap =)
I think this video is mainly how to help rapping live in-flow, as opposed to taking time to solidly think, or come up with the dopest, deepest lyrics for a recorded song, which allows for much more time for revisions and thinking.
Very separate aspects of rap, as there are many aspects of almost any craft. I've learned that whether it's soccer, starcraft, music, or rap, you want to have deliberate, focused training on certain aspects, and then afterwards bring them into a live, jumbled practice.
You can train the live-flow aspect, or the "thinking about your second line" aspect before bringing it all into freestyling.
You can focus on cardiovascular endurance, or max sprinting speed, or accuracy of goal-attempts, or crossovers before bringing it altogether in a live soccer match.
You can focus on raw APM, or not missing workers, or micro, or mini-map awareness before bringing them altogether in a tournament match.
gwho I like your philosophy on that. What do you think the key factors are, to starting out and improving rap? It's something I want to get in to.
SinclairFilms I don't rap so I wouldn't be speaking from experience. But from what I know and what I can induce and deduce logically, my approach would be a few things.
not necessarily in this order, but definitely before live freestyling. Another qualifier is that people's minds work differently, and I'm much more of a slower, analytical mind, as opposed to a "dive-in, and think while acting" mind. So these would be my approaches. For me, freestyling is too unstructured, with too many variables flying around for me to distill and identify patterns. I am pattern/principle-driven, which once I get, I can generate all the infinite possibilities of subspecies.
1) just listen to a lot of rap that you appreciate and enjoy. Inspiration and enjoyment is big.
2) Distill principles and patterns of rap that you see, especially the very awesome rhymes.
In Eminem's 8 Mile, there's "momma drama sreamin on a too much for me to wanna" This is what is called ... I forget what It's called... but it basically transcends single words, and it takes sound patterns of multiple words, and cross-words. Boom! Pattern Identified. Keep looking for other patterns, like word-bending (aka cheating, but hey lol). Rap Battle's Mozart vs Skrillex bends "here" with "diarrhea" and "Idea" and "IKEA". It goes well with the European accent pronunciation of "here", and being Mozart.
3) Write. This allows you to isolate your thinking, without the distraction of adrenaline, cortisol, the desire for props and recognition, the fear of bombing and embarrassment.
4) Do it for yourself, and determine your "success" by your satisfaction first, before being judged by others. External approval is a tricky beast. It's the ultimate real measure of quality when it comes to an art like rap, but it's also a harsh killer of potential if the bud is exposed before it's ready. Understand and embrace things will suck. Even when you're good, you will write crap. It's mining, where your yield is never 100%.
5) Have something to say. I only actual wrote a rap / rhyming poem when I had something to say. Too many people do it just for the fame, or external reward. Real quality swells up from inside, inspired, and where your inspiration is fed by your perspiration. This comes from reflecting on life/things, and focusing on genuine value.
More philosophical than practical, but there are some bits of practical stuff in there. Again, my strength is inducing / deducing, and not so much from experience.
gwho You have so much insight! Its crazy! I've noted down everything you said, I appreciate the help immensely! I'm sure it'll be a long ass process before things start coming together, but I hope it amounts to something. You're a legend :)
I'd find a group or club that's into it. or just friends who you can have sessions with, and basically get exposed to their styles. Their styles will inspire something in you, and you can see how you can mix yours, resulting in idea sex, as James Altucher calls it.
The social element is huge, even for a rather non-social person like me. It's not just exposure to new ideas that you wouldn't generate yourself, but also upkeep of motivation, positive reinforcement, keeping you from burning out or getting weary of the art, networking for opportunities by building relationships and having something to offer whether it's your skills or another connections for others, as well as the critical feedback that's not done in an emotionally crippling way.
I like you man, your so humble
Thanks bro, your a good teacher
first i only watched this vid .....but now that i seen most of them i seem to getchu bro thanks for the tips ....shoutout to the best rap teacherrr💯💯💯
