GENRE CHARACTERISTICS Pre Recorded Tracks : In rap music, a pre-recorded track, usually composed of electronic instrumentation or drum beats, is played in the background, while the rapper recites the song lyrics. Rhymic Beats : Rap songs always have a rhythmic beat, usually in a 4/4 time signature. This steady, strong beat makes rap music popular in dance clubs. The beat is particularly strong on the bass line, which can sometimes dominate the other instrumentation.Lyrically Based : Although a strong, steady beat is the anchor for a rap song, the true source of originality is the lyrics. Two rap songs can have virtually the same pre-recorded track, but with different lyrical interpretation. 

LYRICS & VISUALSLyrics & Visuals - Lyrics describe momentarily what is happening in the video

Music & Visuals - Link because the fast pace of the lyrics match the quick editing of the video itself. Its editing in a way that helps the video match what is being is said. For example, plate is smashed when the word “Smash” is recited.

Video LyricsWhat kind of things that you have When I find out don’t expect me to stop I’ll come for the P’s that you stackAnd come for all the food that blotBetter hand over the bagYour boys don’t wanna see you shotIf I kick down the door to your flatDun Know I’ll clear out your house on the spot

(CLEAR!) All the things in your house(CLEAR!) All the things in your fridge(SMASH!) All your plates from your rack(CLEAR!) All's your kids’ toys(CLEAR!) All's your CD rackWon’t get none of your CD’s backDrag off your curtain rail from the wallKick off your HDTV from the stand

Run up on stairs in to roomsFlip the mattress and search for the cashMake man look down the barrel of a mashIts not worth your life just cough up the scratchIts to late to lock up the latchI can smell the crow just pull out the batchI’m not here to cotch and relaxAnd drink your wine here just pull out the bags

I have to punch up guysGuys try it with me I don't know whyBax! Pax man straight in his eyesThey floored me I was looking at the skyPar! Now I have to go blindThat boy there I swear he gonna dieYou’re not bad you’re a mug don’t think you’re a guyWhen I slap man you won’t be alright
