For one, do something different. Talk about something that wont make the listener cringe (guns, drugs etc.), but rather make them move. Some good ol' feel-good hip hop is way overdue.

I agree. We need happy songs again.

Just leave out the vocals. I've written a bunch of instrumentals one could rap to. I like the music but not the "singing".

Maybe someone will come along and "throw sumpin down" that will make me say, "Oh, those songs do have words."

Make music, not "beats". Anyone can come up with 8 bars that sound good, but it takes work (not to mention talent) to create a fully developed song that holds listeners interest.

How about things that make music...music? Like SUNG vocals? Real chord progressions? Vocal harmonies? Instrumental solos, etc...

Rap isn't supposed to be about the backround music, but could be made better with better music. Vocals in rap are supposed to equate more to percussion than to a melodic instrument. Thats one way I think about it at least. It is mostly a form of poetry with flow to a beat.

sounds like a lyric to a rap song..

but uhmm I have a question. That question is, how are WE going to make rap better when most of us arent exactly professionals in our own 'natural' styles of music.. much less rap...

By anybody posing that question not writing it

Seriously, I think that is a redundant point of view. Make your own music - if you like hip hop do it your own way and get on with it.

criticising one genre cause it is liked by white teeny kids more than any other style at the moment is a bit off the mark.

Would you have posed the same question about rock in the 1980s??

How Can We Make Rap/Hip-Hop Music Better???
