The first is the first! Remember why you are writing and to whom you are writing. Know your audience and how they will respond to what you say. Always write with the mindset of helping that person or even giving hope to those in need. You can sure make it fun and entertaining as long as the right message is clearly conveyed. For example, think that you are a listener and tune in to this song titled: For Every Tear. Now it automatically assumes that this particular song will give hope to those who are crying due to the ordeals of life. So when you finally listen, it delivers exactly what you expected. This song relates to you and ministers to your soul. Now this is what you call target marketing; However, we will see that later.
As you can see, you need to be able to relate to your audience both biblically and based on experience. Once you have this in your mind, you are ready to start writing. Before writing your first line, you need to make sure your music expresses what you are rapping. I mean, you don’t want to minister to someone about God when your music sounds like Satan himself created it. You have to flow with both the lyrics and the music.
Most of the time what I do is let the music dictate what my lyrics will be about. That way, the lyrics will flow easily with the beat, creating the right mood for the song. It is as if they belong to each other. LOL! Once you do this, you can start writing your first measure. A slash is when you create a line for your rap. When the second line ends with the next rhyming word, it is two bars, and so on. Each complete line or phrase is equal to one bar. The standard for a verse is 16 bars, but the minimum is 8 bars. Each rhyme segment consists of 2 bars and the hook of a song is mainly 8 bars as well.
Now that we’ve gotten all the technical stuff out, it’s time to minister the gospel. You should also remember that whatever it is that you speak of in your song, make sure that the word of God speaks through you. It is not the artist who delivers, but it is the power of God. Many Christian rappers make the mistake of simply rapping regularly and mentioning Jesus from bar to bar, but they never really say a word that helps the soul. This is not what Christian rap is about. Gospel rap is talking about life to give hope to one’s situation, not a message to feel good. You must send deliverance with your handwriting, not just feel good about the mention of the word Jesus here and there. People hear the word Jesus and God enough. We as Holy hip hop rappers must talk to them about how God and Jesus can solve their problems. As listeners, they tend to hear encouragement, release, and hope. If you can serve your listeners with these three elements, you are on your way to being a great Christian rapper. “May Gog bless your ministry!”
