The Method To Natural Flow
This method for a more natural flow was all shown step by step in the videos in previous lectures:
- Choose 10 different dope beats from somewhere on the internet.
This will work better if you DO NOT use mainstream instrumentals since your mind already has melodies to those beats from the original song.
I want you to choose beats that are different vibes and different tempos so you can get used to flowing across different speeds and with different flows in this week process.
- Add the beat into your recording software. You are going to record 10 freestyles from the start to the finish on the beat.
- Now go through those 10 freestyles and find the best flows that you NATURALLY created that match the beat the best.
Delete all the other vocals that you didn’t really like on the first listen back!
A good rule of thumb is that you could barely be paying attention and you’d still like the flow playing in the background. If it doesn’t catch your attention or sound unique or cool, it’s not worth keeping.
You are going to have dozens of unique flow patterns inside of that beat now. Now you have a natural feel on that beat for how you are able to flow. Hearing this will subconsciously start recognizing your natural flow abilities.
- With all those flows, now you need to go through and rewrite the lyrics using the exact same number of syllables per line; OR
- Rewrite and add more syllables or less syllables to fix the lines like you watched me do in the video.
- Now that you have new lyrics to those flows. I want you to re-record the new lyrics you have written to those flow patterns just like you watched me do.
What this is doing is teaching you how to flow your lyrics to the beats. Doing this to 10 different beats is going to really, really help you create your flow.
- Repeat this process across ALL ten beats.
Honestly, by the time you are finished you may even possibly have 10 new songs you like. After you practiced doing this during this one week worth of work you gain a very natural feel for re-writing lyrics as well, which will make you a better writer.
It will seem like it’s hard to do for the first few, but it will BECOME WAY EASIER. That is the point in practicing. By the third beat you will start to notice it is getting easier to do. By the time you are done with this your flow will be at least 10 times more natural.
