Two ways, start to worship or to hate yourself to the point of no return then you'll have plenty of stuff to say to world.

you got a bunch of youtube channels / websites out there aimed at studying rhyme schemes and such.
study that shit and have something to tell or explore, and you're halfway there. you only improve by trying i guess.

You're on your way, if you haven't already start depriving yourself of sex and go vegan for maximum impact
>>
>>73074228
You're definitely on to something. Was almost suicidal when I wasn't having sex. Veganism might've pushed me over the edge.

Study basic poetry rhyme schemes,
A
B
A
B

at the very least. Learn how to switch between 1/6 and 1/4 to syncopate and add variation to your voice, realize that the voice not only needs to act as a deliverer for the lyrics but also to keep the tempo and flow of a song. This gives you some idea of how you might fit a beat. Honestly, just listen to MF DOOM as he doesn't edit his vocals and when he fucks up a little bit in his earlier stuff you realize tons of things you'd always silently understood but probably couldn't articulate. Also, freestyle endlessly. Start in your head then move to whispering then to full on talking, doesn't matter if you fuck up

>>73074811
god he's right too i hate how ok with that i was

that being said, its due to the swing necessary because of the incongruent syllable count between the two lines. there IS an art and there IS a science that goes so deep behind all of this, I'm just not sure of anybody besides myself has taken the time to fully articulate it, though people like that do exist.

Nas was just contracted by a Harvard Professor to discuss lyrics from Illmatic

Start with battle raps or party raps and then move into creative versions of that, and then you can move into conscious stuff after that. Then you can start doing bragadocious raps.

Rappers just think of rhymes and then fill in the rest it seems
