How to practice rap

There is no special trick for this. First, it depends on talent. Some people are born with sharp teeth, so they are more suitable. On this basis, practice diligently, and you also need to practice the feeling of RAP, no The sooner you say it, the better. Go and listen to more foreign rap. Generally speaking, foreign rap is much more innocent than domestic rap ~ like Eminem, etc. There is another article here that talks about techniques. I hope you like it

Let’s first talk about the most basic rap, which is to practice your tongue. If you are given an article, can you guarantee that you will not pronounce the wrong words? Do you control the pauses well? This requires long-term practice. If you can do this, then it is considered a success. Overcame the initial difficulty!

Then you can play a song {listen to it with headphones} I recommend {tutorial} and then use MP3_ or other recording tools to record yourself singing and listen to it How do you feel~ Most of the results are not satisfactory. Now you have to ask why? {I am not looking down on everyone here}

It does not mean that just follow the reading like reading. You must keep up with the rhythm and grasp the time of articulation. As for the rhythm, you just need to follow the song carefully and practice it again and again as the dog knows how to sing! After that, when you listen to yourself singing, the feeling will be completely different.

The above content is based on everyone's requirements and I have clearly stated what I don't understand or if there are any mistakes. You can point it out

It has been modified and there are also methods for dealing with saliva if there are problems with the oral cavity. If you are about to go to the hospital, usually you have saliva in your mouth. When singing, grasp the time and swallow when you pause. The main thing is to grasp the pause time and rely on your own feeling to sing a section and swallow it. If it doesn't work, let it flow out and control your singing. That’s it!!

Rap is mainly about practicing beat and flow. My experience may be different from some people’s opinions. It is for reference only. Beginners mainly practice fluency. No matter how good your rhythm control skills are, you should first finish saying the entire song roughly in harmony with the music. After the words slip away like a treasure, you need to practice the beat. Every hiphop song has its own beat. You first To practice the rhythm, let's give a simple example: repeating the beat of "ta-ta-ta-ta", you say the words "I-say-love her, she-no-answer..." and wait until the correct beat is reached. When you are very sensitive, you can start to play tricks, learn to grasp the rhythm, and play variations. What is a variation? My answer is that it is the unity of the overall matching rhythm and the local rhythm changes. The specific explanation is still based on the above example. You can mentally recombine the three-beat repetitive rhythm of "ta-ta-ta/ta/~~ta-ta-ta/ta/" into "ta-ta-ta/~~ta" /-Ta-Ta-Ta/Ta/" This is a rhythm that repeats alternately between two and a half beats and three and a half beats. Therefore, the rhythm when you speak must change to match the rearranged beat in your mind. This It seems that the overall flow of your song will become unsmooth. In fact, it is because you are not listening to the rap of an expert. If you are not technically strong enough, it will certainly sound lame. The reason why many people admire 2pac so much is actually because he is a variation. The master (maybe many Chinese people don’t know why they are so obsessed with him), his variation skills are superb in my opinion. Therefore, a real variation master plays with the rhythm, not only does it not affect the flow, but it also makes the entire song listen. It has ups and downs and is fascinating (in fact, this is also the charm of NEO-SOUL)

In fact, the examples I gave above are relatively pale, because variations, as the name suggests, are There are endless changes, there is no stereotype to say, and without variations, rap is no different from Shulaibao. And when you practice variations well, you have to pay attention to the cadence of your intonation. Here I want to Explain why dialect rap in Chinese rap is often more attractive and popular. Why? The intonation of Mandarin is too monotonous. In my opinion, it is only a little better than Japanese and not as rich as Korean. However, China’s dialect system can be said to be extremely rich in intonation. , especially in Sichuan dialect and Shanghai dialect (Wu dialect to be precise)

This is the so-called Wu Nong soft language). The richness of intonation makes rap more attractive. I think anyone who knows a little bit about domestic rap has a deep understanding of this. Among black people, I think Scarface is a master in this area. The cadence of his rap fascinates me. , also made 2pac, who is also black, nas call him an idol (this can be seen in his classic song "that\'s can\'t be life" with Jay-Z)

Pronunciation part:

Rappers have simplified their spelling due to the appearance of ligatures, and their word usage has also been simplified a lot. For example, the most common one is to change the letter at the end of er to a single "a". For example, the word nigger (nigger), the most notorious word for black people, is simplified to nigga, and another word mother****a is also simplified to mutha. ****a, in addition, the word player is also changed to playa. As long as the word ends in er, it can be changed to a according to this grammar.

In addition, words ending in ks or cks are also replaced by an x, because ks (cks) and x have the same pronunciation. For example, thanks is changed to thank Usage has also become a rule.

The usage of o is also very distinctive. For example, Love is changed to Luv, nothing is changed to nuthin', and the word mother****er mentioned earlier is changed to mutha****a. grammar. In addition, like the s in words, it is often changed to z, such as cause is changed to

kuz, easy is changed to EZ, and there are some changes.

There are two grammatical terms that have become not only used by black people, but also become common in the United States, such as going to is changed to gonna, and want to is changed to wanna. In addition, if out of is changed to outta, kind of is changed to kinda, and sort of is changed to sorta, it has become a new English grammar.

Words such as re or e that are almost inaudible during fast singing are omitted, such as more becomes mo (such as the black movie move money, which is abbreviated to mo money), for Change it to fo, or replace it with the number "4" (same pronunciation).

The omission of "g" in "ing" has become a common grammar in the United States. For example, nothing is changed to nuthin', comming is changed to commin', etc. It can be omitted as long as it is the ing progressive form. g. The pronunciation of some words has also changed due to rap. For example, in the word through, everyone knows that gh is not pronounced, and th is pronounced as "θ", but in rap songs, it is pronounced as "t" , so the word was reduced to thru, and its pronunciation is the same as that of the word true, and the pronunciation of th in nothing is also the same as in this grammar, from "θ" to "t" sound. The orthography is simplified to wit, but the pronunciation is still /WIθ/, which is an exception. By the way, some rappers have taken advantage of fast words and strung a bunch of words together and written them on the album. The album title or song title feels particularly flashy, but in fact, it still sounds the same. . For example, the first album southernplayalisticadillacmuzik by the rap group Out Kast, and the last mixed song D'VOIDOFPOPNIGGAFIEDMEGAMIX in Ice Cabe's album Bootlegs B.B. Side, are a long list, which is very annoying to read, but you can understand the pronunciation after reading it a few times. The word means it. In addition, for example, Digital Underground's song Wussup with The LUV is the entity of What's up with The Love. Although the font has changed, the pronunciation is still the same.

The above is just a brief introduction, but it is the word that appears most frequently among black people. The following will introduce readers to some words that appear in rap songs and introduce their usage. Some words are used in terms of It can be called "vulgar words", "vulgar words" or "slang", but it is the most practical word used by black people. The first thing I talk about is, of course, the most exposed word ****. This word not only appears in rap songs, but has become a daily word and is widely used in the United States. As the world knows, the word **** is used to mean "to have sex with someone." Of course, it is also a very vulgar word. It is often used to scold the other person's behavior or behavior, and the word **** can also be used. It can represent anything, any animal, and can also be used as a strengthening term. As long as it can curse people, it is in line with the grammar of *. And **** also has its own set of phrases, forming a bunch of phrases, which are introduced as follows: The most common phrase is I don't give a ****, which means I don't care; **** about/around means not trusting someone or something; **** off means get out; as for Don't **** sb up, it means let me alone, don't bother me; and * *** sth up means messing things up. Of course, as mentioned before, the word **** can replace any verb or noun, as long as the other party understands it. And **** has a usage that is the same as on earth or a curse word (the hell), that is, "the ****", which is used for emphasis, such as What the **** you gonna do ?Or How the **** sho' I fly? Sometimes it can be used interchangeably with shit, but it's better to use it sparingly.

In addition, another word that is comparable to the word **** is shit. This word means "dung" or "feces", and sometimes it can even refer to drugs (heroin). Its usage is the same as ****, and it also depends on the user's hobbies, but it is mostly used as a noun, used to curse. Someone's dissatisfaction. Like ****, the word "shit" often becomes a pronunciation word, a bit like "husband" and "ala" in ancient Chinese, but the tone is a bit stronger. Like shit! what's up, ya? Or the curse word you lil (little) son of ***** shit! Very vulgar usage, or the expressions "eat my shit" or "remember me" eat my shit! Whenever that word is used in a rap song, it's not good. Of course, when the word "shit" is used, it sometimes refers to good things, and is used like a pronoun. Such as What Da shit! This shit has been referred to as drugs in rap songs, and it has also been referred to as girls. Yo! My Big Shit! The word "shit" in this term refers to "Baby", which shows that "shit" can be used very freely! And the most familiar usage of shit must be Bull shit! Bull shit! Talking in vain is also Bull shit! There was a joke saying, "Where is the most shit?" The answer is "American mouths!" It can be seen that Americans' preference for this word has become an international joke!
