You've failed before you've even started.
>>72709819
you could inject horse shit in your urethra while scamming defenseless old folks and still be 10,000x better than him in every possible way
>>72709839
>>72709935
He's the best lyricist in hip-hop.

Write 5 times a day for 3 summers.
Stop asking how to write lyrics on /mu/ would be a good start
As a good lyricist I can say that shit is born in you. If you aren't coming up with good stuff pretty much immediately you aren't going to be good
>>72710195
>Natural iceboy
>As a good lyricist
keeeeeeek
>>72710193
I'm desperate at this point.
>>72709819
Go to /lit/ and read, read books, read poems and analyze why they are good. Ask youself, what makes these good? Why do I like them? After you do this for about 4 years you should be able to write.
im paraphrasing but kanye said to travis scott something along the lines of "dont waste to much time focusing on lyrics, the way the vocals sound is more important"
>>72711589
>supposedly a rapper
>"dont waste to much time focusing on lyrics"
shit tier confirmed
>>72711547
I don't have four years.
>>72711589
Is there anyway you could possibly find a source for that?
It seems pretty in line for the Kanye we've had since Yeezus, his music became less lyrical and more atmospheric and emotional, but I aspire to be more like LR and Graduation Kanye.

please indulge us
>>72709819
good lyricist bad spitter of said lyrics.
listen to K-Dot
>>72710143
Thematically? Sure. But it terms of flow and rhyme scheme- no chance in hell.

Now if I fuck this t-shirt
>>72715589
And bleach my asshole
Try to be like Nick Drake
Are you wanting to be an actual lyricist or just make some sick bangers? To have some insane bars you gotta educate yourself or at the very least understand word structure.
Study MF Doom, Kendrick, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Mick Jenkins. Listen to how they build their bars and how they interplay words together to create a picture and maintain flow.
>>72711955
>not finding it for you
that bit was a little unnecessary was it not
>>72713830
I hate K-Dot.
>>72713949
>Thematically? Sure. But it terms of flow and rhyme scheme-
I mean in terms of lyrics.
>>72715630
Actual lyricist.
>Study MF Doom, Kendrick, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Mick Jenkins.
I dislike all of them. I don't want to be a storyteller, I hate storytelling in music.
I'm not impressed by literary techniques in hip-hop and I don't care how many times one person can rhyme with one word.
I want to be like Kanye West, with simple but profound and heartfelt lyrics.
But every time I try to write about my emotions it doesn't feel real. They're my thoughts and opinions, but it feels like I'm writing for someone else.

>simple but profound and heartfelt lyrics.
>Now if I fuck this model
>And she just bleached her asshole
>And I get bleach on my t-shirt
>Imma feel like and asshole
whoa so deep...
>>72715917
>dislike mf doom and eminem's lyrics
>i want to be like kanye west!!11!!!
you will never be a good lyricist if you are aspiring to be as good as a mediocre lyricist..
>>72715866
Yeah, he is still shit.
>>72715917
Give us some of your favorite Kanye verses.

>I aspire to be more like LR and Graduation Kanye
>LR
>"You know what this is! It's a celebration bitches! So grab a drink, grab a glass... and after that I grab your ass"
What an inspiration.
>>72715917
Last time I ever give anyone heartfelt advice on here.
You know what OP study up on some DJ Khalid and Rick Ross.
>>72715917
You're never gonna make it

Success in rap is 100% based on luck, if you wanna be a good lyricist literally just sit and think for like a day, just actually use your brain for a bit, but it doesn't matter since it's just random
