Alright, so I am a rapper that has been vigorously improving on my singing and ear training recently.
A song behind all the production is a melody and accompaniment at a tempo.
Let's assume that there is no beat made and to make a song I need to provide melody, chords for accompaniment, choose a key, lyrics, and the tempo.
The tactic I am currently attempting IS to make all this BEFORE the BEAT.
1. Do most rappers have the production all done before even thinking of the melody / lyrics?
2. Writing lyrics does not necessarily mean writing the melody, can anyone elaborate on their method of equipping melody to lyrics? Or perhaps when writing melody do they have a melody in their head that they attach it to?
3. I can write melodies on piano and then write lyrics to them, however, that is a tedious process and I would love to find an efficient way to write lyrics first and then create a melody afterwards - any insight on methods would be greatly appreciated.
Like always, feedback is always appreciated.
