How To BOOST Your Vocabulary As A RAPPER!  

i already have a big vocabulary but i just keep choosing to use the same words and it’s so annoying. especially when im freestyling, i just say the same shit 😂

the more my vocabulary expand the less profanity I use in my lyrics

Picc up a thesaurus. one of the best things you can do as a rapper.

Indeed it’s an astute strategy to expand ur intellectual Repertoire with power words so that you’ll be much more astute as a rap artist

"Thats tight.. do it go fast " 😂😂 Great video !

"Man, I've been discombobulated all morning" NAH 😭

Discombobulated - disconcert or confuse (someone). For those who are wondering.

“Discombobulated”😂😂😂😂😂

What I do,is basically read the New York Times,which a popular newspaper,that has complex articles and vocabulary. When I came across a word I didn't know I'll just look it up in a dictionary

Lol "that's tight...do it go fast?"

"Thats tight, do it go fast" "I been discombobulated all morning" 💀

whenever am reading anything its like all words is new to me

You right but you funny as shi bro 🤣🤣." Just read a dam book"

"Expand your mind"

“man ive been discombobulated all morning” 💀💀

funny enough, i was saying to myself to crack upon a new book and refresh my mind.

Love the energy curtiss

Thanks Curtiss, I use a lot of these methods. Keep making this gold

Another tip for those trying to grow their vocabulary - don't abuse words! "Lyrical miracle" rappers tend to be seen more as trying too hard vs. being actually great writers. That's not to say what Curtiss says isn't valid - you need to get used to an expanded vocabulary before you can implement unfamiliar words in your writing - so try to use them as often as you can... just to get a feel of when, and how, to use certain words, and in which contexts they fit in. If this means you have to write some overcomplicated bars, then have at it. With practice, you can develop the skills necessary to make a broad lexicon sound natural. Most rappers can tell when bars are forced - so relax on the gas, take your time, experiment with new things, and remember to always practice!

I am glad you did this. I have read thousands of books in my lifetime. I'm a bibliophile. There's a word for ya! LOL I have calmed it down to actually write. Same words used in different ways. That's me!

Thank youuu I learned alot from watching this video

Appreciate the inspiration! You a real one.

can you do a video relating to THIS on travelling and seeing new cities around the world when you feel your creativity is running dry? meaning I have been using audiobooks and watching RU-vid videos on certain subjects as well to increase vocabulary but wanna know your thoughts on sightseeing and learning new cultures

Discombobulated 😂😂😂

Exactly what I was lookin for

I was just thinking about this last night

Thank you bro very helpful

I am starting in august 5 - esurient (greedy)

watch documentary's, another things find synonyms of different words

I cant use them on my daily basis because it isn't my first language, so I'm just gonna use them a lot in my raps and use flashcards.

finna read sun rn

I just gave you ur 500th like 🙂

hey curtis, which digital distribution company do you use or advice artist to use for their music to be listened to?

This assisted the road of me spoiling the bars of other bitches, thanks my man

Helpful

I say buy a thesaurus dictionary and listen to KRS 1 interviews

Legit listen to Aesop Rock and try to decipher his tracks. He has the biggest vocabulary in the game, no one even gets close to his vocab. Other than that, using a thesaurus really helps expand words that you already use in your day to day.

I think eminem has the best vocab pool ever

thnx

I clicked cause I thought he was Russ giving rap knowledge

Guy: hey, how was your day? Me: man, I'm being discombobulated all morning :v

You gotta start small

i can’t stop cussing

#artists ..... work on them bars lol
