The 75/25 chorus rule dictates that roughly 75% of your songs should BEGIN with the chorus.
When we say begin, we mean that the chorus should be the first vocals that the listener hears.
There are three main reasons this is a crucial songwriting tip for rappers who want to make catchy songs:
2-For-1 Melodies refers to the idea that you should practice having two separate melodies in one section of the song, as opposed to having one melodic phrase be the entire section (such as the chorus) of the track.
Most amateur rappers think that a “catchy chorus” simply means one melody repeated 4x-8x over and over again until the hook is done. That’s a 1-for-1 melody and while it works, it’s often not as catchy of the 2 melodies in 1 chorus method.
Now that you’ve seen you can both start the song with a catchy part to keep your streams up AND you can stack more melodies than you even thought possible…
Don’t be afraid to go for “extra credit” by adding even a THIRD melody to start the track to serve as a vocal “intro” that can also serve as a “bridge”.
To go back to 50 Cent as an example because this is the easiest way to understand what a “vocal intro” is… take a second and think of how his biggest hit “In Da Club” starts.
Now, so far we’ve given you a lot of songwriting tips for rappers that have to do with how you create a songwriting structure that appeals to a broader audience…
…But what about how you actual organize your songwriting session to make the most effective use of your time?
Again as we said at the beginning, we’ve been coaching 100,000s of rappers on this channel for years now and we’ve got to say…
One of the biggest issues amateur rappers face is that they never have a system for sitting down and completing a song from start to finish that they can repeat over and over.
Therefore, we have devised this songwriting tip for rappers as a reminder that it’s much better to get into the habit of writing a song from start to finish in one sitting rather than stopping-and-starting to writing sessions.
Your goal as a rapper should be able to down to a stopwatch’s tick know how long it takes you to write a track.
