1.Some people never make it
They forget the basics
Dreams might be evasive
But you gotta chase it
2.Start with a rhyme
It might take some time
Strengthen up your mind, like
The stars you will shine
3.Livid shit is intimate
Hit it with a instrument
witnesses ain't finna listen
To timid delivery
4. Never though
Most of us might ever glow
Give ya all at every show
Till I'm dust I'll be rappin forever yo

I literally felt like I learned a rap hack when you were explaining the topic switching.. Damn, subbed

[ihsanAgaz]

This is sick.
Now I know how to make a beat and write a raps song

[YousufSaad]

That's why Eminem was crying about snare in "Cleanin out my closet"

[selormalormene]

Wow!!i've been a stranger to this topic for 2 decades.I'm from a small city in west Africa Ghana.all I have to say is, may you increase in wisdom.God richly bless you my brother.

Your teaching is simple and beautiful. I learnt something because of you today. Thank you very much.

[creepinNinja]

Genuinely felt like a friend who was really passionate was giving me a lesson. Felt encouraged and actually smiled, thanks for the vid man

[JohnDoe-mvsm]

It really surprised me how many 'musicians' don't know this info. Keep spreading that knowledge bro.

6min 28 sec. This is why there is NO NEED TO CLICK on any other 16 bar break down. Ive been writing since 84 and i "learned" to count i just flow with the beat and i watched your video and put #'s next to my lines and was like...16!!! This video needs to shut down the internet. Its the BEST explanation ever. Good teachers give simple instructions. Ok i am done giving you props but f.y.i. "you got the props, the juice and all that and dem some.." thanks and and all with out foul

[Tolmalion]

Just this dude counting bars to the beat sounds better than 90% of todays rap, now aint that sad?

[kedyjohn]

If you can not explain it simply, you didn't understand it well enough - Einstein. This guy nailed it

[TDotsfinest]

You're a great teacher, everything in this video was clear as day.

[NellyYolo]

This man just gave me the cheat code to god mode 😂😂

[jfamosonyt]

Smh, my ass writing 16 lines, thinking it’s 16 bars but in reality it’s only 4 😭

[dirtayboyz]

One of the best tutorials I've found on youtube. 100% many Mahalos.

[voreason]

This blew my mind.! I'm so grateful for these tips.! 🙏🏾

[VibesP]

6 years later and i just dissected my favorite kendrick song united in gried and it follows this pattern as well, thank you so much for spreading this info. 6 years later its still helping wonders, much love

[KaeserRaps]

Wow I’ve been writing for a couple years now and have just made the jump to trying to rap over beats but couldn’t figure out why it always ended so badly. This video has lit the way to say the very least!!! 🙏

[bengordon]

Talk about easy to understand..you've just made me get bars after 18 years of pissing around writing rhymes and just winging it cos I get how to rap to a track..but damn I've been counting all wrong when Ive tried, based purely on something a friend said back in the day
