Why Does Mumble Rap Sound Good?

There’s a reason mumble rap has become popular. 

BUT, I still say it’s the lazy rappers way out of putting thought into their words.

Anyone can learn to mumble words around and make them sound good. 

Wait…

Let’s highlight that for a second. 

ANYONE CAN LEARN TO MUMBLE RAP

Which means that if I can teach you HOW to make your mumbles sound dope, you could rap dope. 

I mean rappers generally do this when they write raps. 

But I am going to teach you the ins and outs of turning those mumbles into dope rap lyrics. 

I never understood how to write my flows. And for some reason, whatever flow I had in my head didn’t sound the same when I chose words to go with it. 

Why’s that? 

• Word blending.
• Word choice matters. More than you know. 
• Pausing and space.
• Soft and sharp consonants. 
• Vowel choices. 
• Pitch changes based on vowel inflections. 
• Instrumental changes.
• Harsh phrases.

That’s a lot. 

But I figured out a way to take all of that stuff and jam it into one technique to learn how to rap. In a completely new and different way than anyone has ever taught before. 

That’s based on one theory. 

If I teach you how to mumble rap, you can make the rap music you always wanted. 

Or any music of your choice. 

But in rap, you don’t have to know how to sing. 

You do have to have some interesting voice inflection to make it fun. But that’s something I teach you with this technique. 

The Lorem Ipsum Method

Here’s the method. 

1. Beat. 
2. Write your weird sounds down on paper. 
3. Turn them into words. 
4. Create a basic structure.

Sounds easy. 

But it’s not. 

There is a progression that happens over practicing with the method and doing different things with it. 

That doesn’t mean you don’t need to know how to write dope content that fits into the bars. 

The Next Is Good Lyric Writing

Mumbling. 

Gibberish. 

Muttering. 

These are not the same as humming. 

When you hum your bars out in your head, you have less control over the phonetic matching with the beat. 

It’s not as harmonious. 

I love humming melodies, but when you add words it gets all messed up and sounds different. Different than in your head. 

Annoying. 

Thats mainly because you are forgetting about the importance that consonants play. 

The sharp sounds of the T or the K cannot be replaced by a B sound and so on. 

BUT. 

You can bend consonants to fit the way you want them too. The choice of consonance is SO ridiculously important, yet gets overlooked. 

Certain placement can really affect the flow. 

Let’s go through some common gibberish and mumble combinations I’ve used before to get desired results. 

I find certain people have a tendency to lean toward certain vowel and consonant combinations. Training all the different types is imperative to change it up and keep a variety.

Wait, what. 

What the fuck am I talking about? 

I’m just saying gibberish that sounds good over the beat. I’m learning what combinations of vowels and consonants and pauses and sharp and soft consonants or stressed syllables or change of pitch here or there. I’m telling it just happens as you do it. 

Record yourself doing this. 

And write down what you feel sounds good to you. 

Go ahead. Try it. 

Maybe make sure no-one is around you the first time you try this haha. 

I’m going to write 3 tracks with you using this method so you can get a look over the shoulder if the creation process that goes into this. 

And then how to transform the mumbles and scribbles into a ridiculous sing that sounds really, really dope. 

I’m about to give you the best flow you ever wanted. 

And you can make it your own after that. 

An awesome example of this is when you hear that TikTok video that goes “Dah dah da da Dah dA da da Dah da da” haha lemme just play it for you.
