Well um I've been thinking lately and decided I wanted to learn how to rap.
I know not too many of you rap but the basis to it is poetry and creating rhymes.
what's a good way to learn
having a vocabulary that ain't balls.

i know plenty of words
I have to write a lot of poetry for my english class
but I have no idea how I would ever make it into rap
I do it all the time but they end up like shit and don't rhyme, but half the time that's not why I'm writing them.

Remember that rap is poetry and an art form. Don't completely focus on what you have to say, but make sure you have a purpose. Don't forget to express yourself in your poetry, but don't get full of yourself, either. Also, there are loads of poetic devices that increase rhythm that rappers also use, including alliteration, internal rhymes, and assonance. So again, don't forget that rap is poetry - yes, you might know how to make something rhyme, but that's not all there is to it.

dont listen to this fool
as long as it rhymes its ok. make up a meaning later on, or have no meaning for extra bonus points.
don't worry, people will make up their own meanings for your poems!
