My Song SHARK TANK From The Intro

Quick explanation of what rap song structure is in case you don’t know.

Song structure, which is also called song arrangement in music is how the different sections in the song are positioned to form the composition.

New songwriters don’t tend to understand how MASSIVELY important the order of these things are. Not only in the lyrics they record, but also in the order of the instrumentation they are recorded over.

The order of the instruments, vocals and loudness of each part, intrigue someone who is listening because these slight changes tickle the ear and keep them listening.

A song is supposed to be a journey for a listener. It can never get bland or dull at any point or you just want to turn it off and you don’t get to the end of the song right.

Would you get on a roller coaster that just went straight and never went up and down and all around? No, because it’s boring. So we don’t want to do that to our songs either.

I took the my Smart Rapper team and employees to Universal Studios and the roller coasters were great.

Not boring.

So if you structure everything correctly, it’s exciting and you get what is known as a crescendo. Every song has crescendo

It’s the highest point reached in a progressive increase of intensity.

A song starts with an intro with just a few instruments and gets louder and louder until the end.

Meaning it gets more and more exciting so you don’t want to turn it off. Then the listener wants to go on the ride again and you get another stream and that means you are making more money.

Okay so Here Are The 6 Primary Pieces Of A Rap Song Structure

Intro. Like the beginning of a movie or book, a song intro should be made to really capture the listener's attention so they want to continue listening.
Verse. The verse of a song is a chance to tell a story
Pre-chorus. Although optional, a pre-chorus helps to heighten the impact of the chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Outro


The Most Popular Rap Song Structure In Music Today

There are 2 Rap Song Structures most commonly used.

INTRO-VERSE-CHORUS-VERSE-CHORUS-CHORUS-OUTRO

Or INTRO-CHORUS-VERSE-CHORUS-VERSE-CHORUS-OUTRO

But check this out, here is a more commercial form of rap song structure combining pop with today’s standards.

Because of streaming paying out per stream and people wanting you to replay the song, they are getting shorter and shorter. Sometimes there isn’t even a second verse

Like Lil Tecca’s Ransom song. It’s just

INTRO-CHORUS-VERSE-CHORUS-CHORUS

Here’s the thing though, when you arrange these, we also need to discuss, how long are these verses, how long are these choruses? How many bars?

When it comes to that, the length isn’t what matters.

That’s what he said.

Sometimes you only need an 8 bar verse instead of a 16 bar verse. Sometimes you first verse with be 8 bars and your 2nd will be 16, or your first will be 16 bars and your 2nd will be 8.

It all depends on what works best for the listening experience and the flow of the song to keep it entertaining. I’m going to prove that to you right now.

Now in this song, it’s only 4 bars then the HOOK happens seamlessly. The hook comes in so seamlessly you don’t even know it’s the hook until it comes back again which is a pleasant surprise for the listener.

If you look here, the first verse is only 4 bars, The hook happens, then I finish the remaining 12 bars in the verse… as the 2nd verse.

There are no EXACT rules.

It’s about WHAT sounds good.

Now did you know there isn’t ONLY rap song structure and arrangement to the overall song, but there is also specific ways to write the hook of a rap song structure that will make it better.

There is more to song structure than simply structuring where the verses and hooks go.

You can build your song structure and make it more entertaining by learning how to record voice overs in the right areas to add bounce to the song.

You can learn how to add instruments in certain places in the song to add more excitement and build the song up more.

You can take out instruments to make your vocals more powerful.
