Anybody having good tips on how to write rap songs?

I'm no rapper - but i play guitar. It was a bit of a shock when i realised as a kid that the dudes I was listening to (and thinking - wow, great licks) had all 'borrowed' those licks from musicians that came before them.
So, my advice would be - listen to as much rap as you can - listen to the old stuff too - like 'Public Enemy', and start writing down words and lines of your own that grab you... maybe you'll get lucky and someone like the Professor will come along and give you some better advice.

Yeah. I do listen to alot of rap, trying to write... but it's like... HARD.
Cuz i have no inspiration at the moment.. but i'm kinda thinking of waiting untill i have some inspiration.. Write stuff down, which i find "rap-able".. and yeah... but i wonder if there's a special way, it's best to do the things..
Thanks for your answer tho. (:

I'm no musician, but I write poems. Poems and lyrics seem to be very similar in face value, but different in execution. I'd say start with whatever you feel comfortable with. If you have a nice beat see if you can match it with some words, or if you have some nice words see if you can match it with a beat.

Listen to some Asheru; he has great tunes.

Thx man

No problem
