Does anyone up here currently raps? I'm looking for some helping tips on what I can do to make my flow better?

No I'm too country sounding to attempt rapping, maybe look for better bears to suit your style. You a Kendrick fan?

A huge Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, and Wale fan! I'm really just trying to become a better rap though. I have some what of a hard time writing to beats. I need to some what polish up my skills but I really don't know how. Any suggestions?

It all comes down to memorizing what you write and practicing every day. Also, it helps to write to the beat you want to use so you can go through your lyrics as you write and see how well it fits, if you want to hold out a syllable, slightly sing it, or whatever...

Once it's written, memorize it. Then practice it over and over again. Your delivery will naturally get better over time...

There, you can submit your raps in text form (I'm not a fan of that) or record it and submit it in the "audio drops" forum (but you have to give reviews for two other memebrs before doing so or they'll delete your post). Those guys will give you some awesome constructive feedback and get you straight.

When it comes to writing anything (poems, lyrics, music, etc), realize that you're just not very good to start. Even if you're told you are, drill it into your head that you are not. You have to have reason to get better, and nothing helps that better than strong self-criticism. Also, by admitting your shortcomings early, it makes it easier to accept constructive criticism down the road and learn how to apply it properly.

That's all I've got.
