    Mr. Mosley, I'm making a massive plan and just know that if this all works out for me, your name and channel will definitely be coming out of my mouth if someone asks for some tips and where I learned my stuff. I've kept hundreds of notes from your channel and wrote hundreds of songs based on those notes. So thanks for all the tips. Hopefully I'll see you in the professional context in the future. Keep up the good work and let's keep hip hop alive!

    How does a beat make a difference in a song?

    • @DonMyrda
      @DonMyrda 3 місяці тому +2

      Certain sounds convey different emotions to a listener.. by using one beat, the depth of what you’re saying might not hit the same to the listener as it would to a more fitting beat. In my experience.

    • @eduardmanecuta5350
      @eduardmanecuta5350 2 місяці тому +1

      Take for example - Dance with the devil. The beat emplifies the experience much more. It makes that hunting, creepy and messed up feeling stay with you even after the song ends. The voice of the rapper, his flow and the beat, when come in union creates magic. Dre for example understood this when he made the beat for "Forgot about Dre" after he heard the lyrics. The beat fits perfect with Em lyrics.
      Soemtimes the beat is so good that even overlaps the lyrics.

    This shit crack me up. Im all for artists honing their craft... But if you think youre finna become a Storyteller by watching a video on youtube... It aint for you. Ive been writting for people for years and it comes down to this... Concept of the story, 8 naritive ideas you want to be included, dedicate 2 bars to each idea.... (16 bars aka one verse...) Write it out then go back and tighten it up, power up your metaphors and punchlines.. Your 2nd draft should be MUCH different from your first word for word, BUT similar in meaning. If need be do a 3rd draft. If you think youre gonna write a good story in one take, gtfo...😂

    ⚠️HELP⚠️
    **Subject: Urgent Inquiry Regarding Collaborative Project**
    Hello Drew Mosley/How To Rap Team
    I have a pressing question that requires your expertise. As a recording artist, I recently collaborated with a producer online who was looking for potential artists for his EP album. I eagerly volunteered for the project and recorded the song "Pure Intentions" with him. However, after providing him with the song's lyrics, he ceased communication regarding the album's release.
    **Key Points:**
    - Collaborated with producer on "Pure Intentions."
    - Provided lyrics but received no response about album release.
    - Have producer's playlist album and artwork.
    - I Posses separate vocal track stems as a backup.
    Now, the issue is the producer has ghosted me and hasn't distributed the song. I'm considering releasing it under my name, altering the artist attribution from "XO V1llain - Song Title (ft. LSK)" to "XO V1llain & LSK - Song Title." However, I'm uncertain if this is a wise decision.
    I seek advice on how to proceed. Any insights or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    SamKin
