18 Rap Ideas To Write A Rap Song With (W/ Examples) 2018

If you are looking for rap ideas, MusicBeats.Net can help! We know it can be tough to figure out what to freestyle or rap about so we put together a long list of rap ideas for you to use to make rap songs or freestyle with.

Here are the best rap ideas you can use to write a rap song in 2018-2019:

  1. Subject. Create a rap song about a boyfriend, girlfriend, baby, parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers, dog, cat, etc.
  2. Time Frame. Create a rap song about the past, present, future or things you think about, dream about, want, need, etc.Snowman from Odd Squad Family did a great example of this topic with his song “Wasted TimeWasted time you cant get that back
    Just stay on yo path
    Go ahead and take that chance
    You can’t go back
    Go ahead and end that lap
  3. Emotion. Create a rap song about love, friendship, passion, pleasure, happiness, understanding, strength, etc.
  4. Life. Create a rap song about your life such as your birth, health, mental struggles, school, transitions, work, accomplishments, etc.
  5. About your Mom. Everyone has a mom or has had one at some point and can relate to this topic.Check out “Dear Mama” by Tupac ShakurWhen I was young me and my mama had beef
    Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
    Though back at the time, I never thought I’d see her face
    Ain’t a woman alive that could take my mama’s place
  6. To your favorite teacher. Teachers help us grow and some spend more time with us than our actual parent do. Wouldn’t it be nice to show a little appreciation to our hardworking teachers that do not get the credit they deserve most of the time.
  7. Your best friend. Your best friend is someone who is there for you no matter what and is your ride or die, why not make a song about them to tell them how special they really are to you.
  8. Love. Love is one of the most powerful feelings in the world. Most rappers typically choose their girlfriend or wife to write this song about but it could also be about a close family member or child.This is one of my favorite love songs out right now called “Bood Up” by Ella MaiFeelings, so deep in my feelings
    No, this ain’t really like me
    Can’t control my anxiety
    Feeling, like I’m touching the ceiling
    When I’m with you I can’t breathe
    Boy, you do something to me
  9. Change. Make a song about something you are changing or want to see changed.Michael Jackson made an incredible song about Change called “Man in the Mirror” that is a great example of this topic.I’m starting with the man in the mirror
    I’m asking him to change his ways
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you want to make the world a better place
    (If you want to make the world a better place)
    Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
  10. Getting through depression. Depression is a serious issue for teens and needs the right attention. Make a song about ways you have gotten through depression or positive things you would say to someone to help them get through their depression.Logic’s “1-800-273-8255” is a great example of making a song that could help someone.I know where you been, where you are, where you goin’
    I know you’re the reason I believe in life
    What’s the day without a little night?
    I’m just tryna shed a little light
    It can be hard
    It can be so hard
    But you gotta live right now
    You got everything to give right now
  11. Overcoming anxiety. Anxiety is another big issue with young adults. Helping people through their problems will make them fans for life. Furthermore, if you inspire or motive them you’ll be the first person on their playlist.
  12. Combatting bullying. Bullying isn’t cool at al. Write a song about the effects of bullying and why bullys should stop what they are doing because they don’t know the problems they are creating for the present and future of an individual.
  13. Dangers of unprotected sex. Too many rappers these days try to make it seem cool to have unprotected sex. Well, unless you want a child early in life or a sexual disease, you should think twice about having unprotected sex these days.
  14. The danger of taking drugs. Drugs are cool… NOT. 99% rappers rap about and glorify drug use. Why not stand out and not glorify drug use. Glorify a healthy lifestyle! If you are going to talk about drugs, talk about the medical benefits of them if there are any.
  15. How not drinking is cool too. Not everyone has to drink to be cool and not every song has to be about alcohol to be cool either. Too many songs these days are all about alcohol abuse. If you are going to make a song about alcohol, be more like Kendrick Lamar who made the song “Pour Up Drank”.
  16. Dealing with exam stress. Tests and exams can be super stressful. Make a song that will help teens or young adults feel less stressed during test or exam time.My own lyrics lol“This exam ain’t nuthin,
    this test I’m Crushin
  17. Peer pressure. Everyone wants to be like someone else. Guess what?? That someone else they want to be like is being themselves. Be yourself!! Make a song that tells teens that it’s ok to be yourself.The Odd Squad killed it with this rap idea in their song titled “Be Yourself” produced by me Efreezee.“I grew up and learned you gotta be yourself,
    Then I blew up doing me what else.
    Proving everybody wrong that tells me no.
    So I’m go and get it just enjoy the show.
  18. Social media. Social media is full of things teens could be worried about. Talk about how cool it is to not need likes, comments or shares. Too many teens feel negative when they don’t see enough attention on their posts. Let them know that it is ok to not be cool on social media. Most of the really popular people don’t even run their own social media accounts, they pay someone else to do it for them.

The Artist’s Quick Guide to Finding Freelancing Jobs

For artists and musicians, finding extra work to help develop one’s talent and make some extra money can be difficult. Like any other industry, what has risen to fill this gap is freelancing. By freelancing, artists can also make some extra money, perhaps even develop their craft and career into something that supports them fully. Here are some quick tips to find freelancing music jobs.

Networking

Networking

Start with your sphere of influence. Do the people around you know you are in the market? Do they know what services you have to offer? Putting the word out there and working your network can provide a steady stream of freelance work especially as independent musicians are in high demand today.

When working your network, be sure to also reciprocate and try and connect others to the people you may know. Through networking and the miracle of 6 degrees of separation, you can be able to reach just the right kind of jobs you need.

Job Sites

Job Sites

This may insinuate job boards with full-time jobs but these days, most job sites allow you to filter jobs for freelance jobs. You can also look for musician jobs based on location or for location-independent ones.

Besides these traditional job boards, there are freelancing websites like Upwork and QuiGig that exclusively list freelance jobs. These websites also offer job searching, project management, and billing tools so you can look for work, collaborate with a client and get paid all from one platform.

Social Media

Social Media

Like traditional offline networking, social media networks offer an incredible opportunity to connect with communities and get hired. Websites like Reddit, LinkedIn and Facebook have dedicated communities where musicians can interact with peers and share opportunities and other information.

When looking for jobs on social media, look for closed communities that have strong moderators. These will mostly not have spam and will be genuine about supporting musicians looking for work.

Professional Associations

Professional Associations

Professional music associations like the American Federation of Musicians, Association of Independent Music Publishers, and the National Music Publishers Association are examples of trade organizations that have may have local chapters that support local musicians.

Joining these associations and being active can be a steady source of exposure that could lead to freelancing gigs. Before joining, make a point to ensure that the association is aligned with your ambitions and interests and that it has an active chapter in your locality.

Portfolio Websites

Portfolio Websites

Portfolio websites like Airgigs and SoundBetter provide a marketplace to showcase your work while more entertainment-inclined sites like YouTube give you all the tools you need to set up a comprehensive portfolio.

The important thing to remember is to play to your strengths when using these sites. Focus on what you do best and let the world know. While telling people you are a great musician is okay, sending them over to your portfolio to listen to some of your work will work wonders.

Being a musician may be about the art of music but making a living from music requires some science. Invest some time in learning the business of music, as well as finetuning your brand so when those gigs roll in, you are ready to let those notes soar.

Playing Music has the power to bring people together, no matter what language they speak, what culture they follow, and what faith they practice.

How to Create a Converting YouTube Video for your Business

YouTube is a powerful tool and can be used to create brand awareness and attract converting customers if used correctly. Video marketing is undeniably current — because it converts! Use the following steps to plan, film, and edit a successful YouTube video to take your inbound marketing campaign to the next level.

Create a script before filming and stick to a timeline

To get the most out of your YouTube video in terms of conversions and viewer engagement, make sure that you stick to a timeline for your video. In an average 10-minute video, take no longer than 1 minute for the introduction. Introduce yourself, your business, and give a small amount of information about the history of your business or what services you provide. It’s important to keep this section of the video concise — after all, your viewers are likely there for the content, not you.

Next, either solve a problem, teach a concept, or speak about a particular topic. (6-7 mins) This is the main content of your video, and it’s important that you are providing value to the viewer. Create a video that is useful to the viewer in some way or teaches them something, and you will build trust with that viewer. This is the first step in taking that viewer from someone who has never heard of your brand before and turning them into a loyal customer. Break down the topic of your video into main points or steps. Then get these main points down on paper and follow each one with the main content script.

Finally, summarize the video and provide a call to action. (2-3 mins) Decide what it is you want your viewers to do. Visit your website? Sign up for your email list? Purchase a product or service? People are much more likely to do something if you ask them to. A great example of a call to action is letting people know that if they sign up for your email list, they will receive a free PDF with more information about the video topic. Include a link to your email list signup at the top of the video description and make sure to let your viewers know that they can find this link in the video description. Get your summary and call to action down on paper, then use this script to film your video.

Edit for brevity and clarity

While editing your video, make sure to remove any sections where you may have gone off-topic or done any ranting. Viewers will click off of your video if you don’t cut out any unrelated tangents. Make sure that you’re speaking plainly in your video – if you find yourself using too many technical terms, you may want to consider re-filming a section. Add any photos to your videos that may help to explain concepts more clearly. Photos can elevate the level of clarity in your video by providing a visual example of whatever you are explaining.

Make use of keywords in the title and description of your video

What keywords are you ranking your video for? Make sure that you use your main keyword in the title. Then, use all of your keywords in the description of your video.

YouTube allows for up to 100 characters in your title. This being said, your viewers will only see the first 70. Keep your title 70 characters or less and try to place your keywords as close to the front as possible. Putting the keywords at the front of your video’s title will help it rank better in searches.

You can put up to 5000 characters in the description of your video. It’s recommended that you do use up as much of this limit as possible. Search engines will only show the first 100-150 characters of your description.

Do these steps correctly and you’ll have a high-converting, sharable YouTube video that provides value and builds trust with your potential customers. If one of your videos helped them solve a problem or understand a new concept, they will be far more likely to watch the next one you put out. If you’ve engaged them with your video content, eventually they will complete your call to action, even if they don’t on the first view.

Low-Cost, High-Quality Film: A Guide to Affordable On-Location Shoots

Some of today’s most critically acclaimed television shows and movies are filmed on sets and in closed, pre-built locations; to be sure, some of history’s most critically acclaimed television shows and movies have been filmed on sets! But most video production these days aren’t big-budget studio films; they’re YouTube videos and online marketing content. There’s something truly authentic—something irrefutably powerful—about on-location shoots, and this energy is captured by cameras and, in turn, enjoyed by viewers.

Of course, one of the biggest downsides to on-location shoots—one of the only downsides—is the associated cost. While they don’t require the rental for the set or soundstage, filming on-location can still be pricey, and this reputation for expensiveness has led the shooting style to be regarded as intimidating (and not worth exploring) by many rising filmmakers.

By implementing some simple and effective tips, however, media professionals who’re filming on-location can save a substantial amount of cash and complete the process for a fraction of the cost paid by others, all without sacrificing the quality of the produced footage in any way.

Let’s take a look at some straightforward ways to save money on on-location shoots!

 

Put Food First

For many upcoming filmmakers, on-set food is something of an afterthought; a concern of secondary importance that’s considered only at the last second. While this style of thinking is correct in theory and typically works without issue on traditional sets, it could cause considerable trouble (and cost a significant amount of money) when filming on-location.

The reasoning is simple: food is fuel, and without fuel, actors, camerapersons, make-up artists, and all the other experts that make a set function won’t perform at their best. The resulting mistakes will cost time and money. Furthermore, rushing to retrieve food from an unfamiliar venue in an unknown area doesn’t look particularly professional, and will produce unexpected last-minute fees (ordering in advance is almost always cost effective).

In short, on-location filming is much easier and cheaper when food (including allergy information!) is put first.

 

Reduce Housing Costs

It might be tempting to book a film crew’s stay in a hotel, but it isn’t always economical. On the contrary, hotels can be absolute “money pits” that eat-up the majority of an on-location work’s budget.

Short-term apartment rentals are affordable and convenient alternatives. They have accommodation options available in almost every area. Planning for an on-location shoot and choosing an apartment instead of a hotel will preserve a project’s budget and assure that the resulting footage is once again excellent.

 

Have a Plan-B

Most actors and actresses are committed, dedicated, attentive professionals who’re honored to be part of a project they’re passionate about. Like many things in life, though, occasional “bad apples” do appear and will be encountered. These “bad apples” could very quickly be part of one’s on-location project.

As such, to minimize risk, minimize losses, and assure that a project gets finished as scheduled, it’s important for on-location film professionals to have a plan-b. This means that backup actors, actresses, and crew members must be on retainer and able to be called at a moment’s notice should their services be required.

 

Save Money on Audio

While traditionally seen as a post-production consideration, more and more video productions are employing their sound design throughout the production process, which may or may not necessitate having it picked out before you even start filming. For smaller, DIY productions, hiring a music designer and renting a full foley stage are just not viable options. This is where Music Beats comes in. We have lots of premixed audio, some for free, and all for a very affordable price. We can even help you mix your own sound cheaper than you could find at a ritzy Hollywood sound studio. Audio is half of your video, and you need to make sure that you’re representing your content as professionally as possible.

 

These tips are sure to help on-location film professionals save as much money as possible and produce fantastic footage. Thanks for reading and good luck!
