How To Be A Great Rapper

Now to move on to rapping, as most of you may recall from my last article, I became interested in rapping back in high school from watching rap battles. I also began listening to a lot of rap music a little before then as well. The one thing that rapping and tennis both have in common, is that same theme of determination. There are going to be times where people might judge you and your rapping. This is from personal experience. You have to know how to stay strong and not let anything that anyone says bother you. Show them who is boss, tell them it's their loss, and it is not a toss that I'm the rap king and it's just the thing! That is what I used as my strategy to combat these people. Freestyle rapping. I would just come up with random things that came to mind and put them into a rap. Looking down at my phone, in the zone, looking up at the sky, so high, I see a drone. Those are facts, I can make quality raps, don't mess with the rap king or else you'll have to confess! For me, rapping is a lot like writing. I rap and write about anything that comes to mind. But anyways, here are some tips for becoming an amazing rapper.

1) Write as much as you can in a notebook, this will help you create raps. I have a book, it is called "The Book of Raps".

2) Make a name for yourself, this will be what your fans know you as. For me, I'm known as "Rap Boy" or "The Rap King".

3) Get in on the action in rap battles, its a great time!

4) Start rapping to your friends or anyone who catches your eye. That is how you will get popular. People will start focusing their attention on you.

5) Start out with some freestyle, just like I did above. It is an icebreaker in the rap game. What I freestyle is what I think about or look at. Here is another example, I got a pen on my desk, I know a guy named Glen, he has a friend named Len. Typing on this mac, right next to my backpack.

6) See if there are opportunities for you to show off your rapping skills. School activities, rap battles and etc. Trust me, there is something out there for all!

7) And just like with tennis, stay determined and enjoy it! Have fun, and most importantly, the theme from Senior Follies, "STRENGTH AND HONOR"!!!! Always have strength and honor!!

So to conclue this article, whether you are in to rapping or tennis or maybe even both. I really hope you were able to learn a lot from this article. This is only a brief lesson. In today's day and age, we are lucky to be able to expand on what we have learned from someone. If you are really interested in learning more, thankfully, we have the internet and also your local library! Also, the best advice I can give to you, is watch as many videos as you can on YouTube from tennis pros and rappers. That has worked tremendously for me and it will for you as well! Thanks for reading and until next time!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
