In this clip, Kendrick Lamar reveals his step-by-step process for how to start writing a rap complete from having nothing on the page to an eventual fully completed song. 

In a minute, we’ll watch King Kenny describe where and how he actually gathers though ‘pre-meditated thoughts’ that he mentioned that serves as the seeds for the emotion of the track… 

…But the statement you’ve just heard from Kendrick serves as step #1 of the Kendrick Lamar method on how to start writing a rap: 

Now, as YouTube’s most subscribed channel on How To Rap we’ve been coaching rappers from around the world for nearly a decade now, and not every rapper’s writing process is the exact same. 

Some rappers listen to a variety of beats and then instantly grab inspiration from the emotion the beat brings up in them, and then reverse engineers their lyrics to find that beat. 

Jay-Z notably works that way, as exemplified in the story of the creation of his Kanye West-produced anthem “Never Change” where Hov immediately wrote the song to match the emotion of the beat upon hearing. 

Kendrick Lamar on the other hand has a lifetime of experiences and emotions locked up and/or written down that he stores in soul, and then after the fact finds beats to match those feelings. 

If you’re interested in implementing the Kendrick Lamar writing process to learn how to start writing a rap, first identify your original pre-meditated thoughts, and then find a beat that will match the emotional tone of what you’re thinking. 

Although we think of rappers as being hardcore, no-fear-no-emotion types of characters, the truth of the matter is in order to be a life changing songwriting they have to be in touch with how they’re feeling and what they experience in order to convert it into the creative format of songwriting. 

Often the better a rapper is at identifying their emotions, the better they are at expressing them. 

Kendrick Lamar has described his personal development in the skill of emotional identification for the purposes of writing a song through his tip in step #2: keep a library of notes for the emotions you’re feeling. 

The reason it’s important to take notes in order to know how to start writing a rap with the Eminem-Kendrick approach is in that on any given day, week, or month, we go through so many experiences that it’s likely we’ll forget exactly how we were feeling in detail enough to make a song out of it. 

Therefore, it’s a sound creative model to have a notes app full of ideas of what one COULD rap about if the right beat comes along.
