Word of advice for punchlines: write the second bar first.
huh?
@@5200KL write the (main) punchline you have, as the second line, so you can write backwards creating a smoother transition. this also forces you to keep the scheme going and possibly come up with a harder punchline to follow.
Real shit
Clever! You can be much more creative with the set up bar(s)!
@@JarisMusicbeen doing all them technics and this is my results of great writing
Writers and deep thinkers relate to this on a whole different level

This was really helpful, thank you.

Word too. I been on a weird road where i know i have talent but something in my life makes it where i have to stop and get back into it and build momentum all over again. If i do it again I'm going full throttle
@@Fishing413 why not do it now. Do it in-between doing other things too. Just think of lines and write them down. Then extrapolate later.
Geniunely was
I would like to interview you and thank you for giving me hope for the possibility of creating a world I'd like to live in and dealing with a loss and shooting of my 16 year old son Suki

This isn't music advice. This is life advice. This is exactly why I love j cole so much, bros realest of the real.
Music is life
For real can't wait around for motivation or inspiration, or to believe in yourself, u need discipline.
Real recognize Real❤
"The best rapper breathing it just failed to hit you
You couldn't tell, cuz you feel for the bells and whistles"
Nice one💥
AND THAT'S AN AREA I DONT EXCEL 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Man, The Climb Back is super underrated, favorite Cole track by far.
100% It gives me hope and courage
Definitely my favorite on the album
I NEED LOVE ON M YMUSICC!
Eeeeeeeeeevery thang come back full circle
Lots of underrated tracks on that album. The whole album underrated af
That’s why I write everyday, stay consistent that’s what motivates you. That’s what he’s saying.
Except It's harder to write every day; life gets in the way
@@Samueldakey The fame only raises when the pen to the page is the greatest. You aiming for saneness.. looking insane to the brainless. Deranged and feeling caged. So you wait until you weightless. Starving the brain can be a bit dangerous. The hunger lays out like a drop of paint on the pavement.
@@Samueldakeythat’s really how it be for me…I just keep trying cause I love writing music
@@chrismoore3580beautiful
Bro just low key gave you the blueprint to life

This is solid advice for anything you want to do. Anything that’s yours. Just start showing up for it and the rest will work itself out

Be open minded and not scared. Point at random objects one after another. Get uncomfortable.
Lmao😂 point at random objects
@@katiewheeler617 its a good writing excersize. Point at something in your room, write a bit about it. Point to something else, write, so you can learn how to find relations
@@namespaced4437yep. To non writers, alot of tips to combat writers block sounds silly and non sensical, but as someone thats written music for years, it's spot on.
I also believe it's valuable to write often, treat it like any muscle group you work on in the gym.
trusting the first line to lead to your second is huge.
Shout to all the artists who actually come up with their own lyrics
Honestly i’ve been waiting for inspiration out of fear of not writing as good as i used too and i finally found my sound but not i’ve gotta relearn it and try too start all over from scratch but shit i hope soon i can write more and more and after watching this i might just test myself by writing a song everyday or even try too dedicate more time too it and shit like he said the only reason I haven’t written in a while is because I’m afraid of repeating a line of what i said in the past due too how many songs i have written and completed but I can’t lie the shit stresses me out because i have a lot planned for when it comes too music and currently I’m trying too work on a ep made of songs that all have the same vibe theme and feeling but shit i need too write some more because I’m not tryna wait anymore if nothing is gonna come too me and i know there ain’t much too write about since i’ve already expressed much of what i wanted too it songs i made prior but shit I’m hoping writing everyday will help me out a little bit more because i used too be able too make song after songs from different genres too themes and now i just can’t but who knows maybe this will help me improve lyrically so I’m gonna test myself and see what happens wish me luck
I feel the same way, I been rapping since I was 12 now I’m 31. Believe me I understand how you feel! I just try to work through it. I rap but if you ever need features or anything lemme know I’ll help out anyway I can
If you need inspiration, Take other peoples perspectives into account when writing music. Theirs more than just your story. You got this, keep up the work bro
My dream is to become a rapper and he and kendrick and juice are my idols. The lyrics are important but I have a difficulty on making a beat. The beat needs to be catchy and fire
SAME BROO
I have this problem now
That’s why producers are a thing bro u don’t HAVE to make beats
Bro just hire a producer to make beats for u online and start rapping bruh
u dont need to make ur own beats g
As a screenwriter this also applies
As an illustrator, this is so valid
...thats so true. the water tap must first be turned on so that the water can flow... but even though ive been aware of this for a long time, i often still get stuck on the first line
U just gotta write man. The first line can be simple as can be then just delete it after you’ve gotten 10 lines in. Where I’m from the water run brown when it first turn on.. but if you leave it on a few seconds.. it runs clear
@@jordanjohnson6402 you so right man thank you
@@damokles5922you ain’t alone man, I write music myself, gotta keep pressing on. Be creative as you can be 💯
That’s some dope asz advice fam🤙🏾💯
@@jordanjohnson6402 one that's type dirty, get yourself a plumber to check that out and two I know it was just an analogy. But to the og comment, figure out techniques for writing that work for you. Yes you can use techniques other say but you will see what works best for you as you write more. So write more. I can share some techniques I have for myself that work for me. I may not be trying to write but I hear a song playing on spotify. When I start flowing to it as if Im featured on the song, I start writing to it. I get inspired. These bars may not even have anything to do with the song's message. I just write. These bars may be used for a new song. Other times, I write random bars that come to me. Nothing crazy like 2 or 4 bars. Overtime, I have what I call a 'bar reserve.' A collection of a whole bunch of these bar pieces. If I see connections between some of them, then hey, I now have a bigger piece. That may even inspire a theme. I now have a bigger picture. I then am able to add more to it and now I have a verse. I still have a theme, lets start the second verse
As a writer who's also written for a long time, I second this advice
I feel like this can be applied to everything in life. The hardest part of finishing something is getting started.
J. Cole is always a real one 🙏. There's no other rapper that I respect more than this guy ryt here.
Basically he's saying, take the first step, and let it be the first step. Don't move backwards...
Yesss! Start with the first bar of the hook then just bind your life away until the end of the song. 😉
Works perfectly!
Honestly I always listen to what rappers are saying when you write you have so much to say, I write because I'm usually quite and it's the only way that I can express my feelings I may never rap but writing just give me a sense of feeling sane
Write me a song then we can split the profits 50/50😂

Do you love this world??
Love this world
Do you love this world??
Love this world
I never realized that clear crescent moon before dazzling in the sky so close to that big star that can blind people’s eyes
I wanna say to you another artist in mind I love you with my whole heart were both individuals trying to survive
through this whole promenade show call life
Well eventually see the face of Lucy when it’s our time but it’s always my decision to follow the path of righteousness but that’s my own journey through life
@@ShamPain23.I hope this inspires you as well, writing comes within you…well in my belief. just like when choosing what colors you want on that canvas, don’t think, feel and jot and let the energy out. Feel free to check out me reading my stuff out loud lmao I have one video on it !
J Cole is like God for me 🙏💯
I just told my homeboy this the other day ✊🏾
Lil Wayne don’t even gotta think of a lyric. He just spews out clever shit without even thinking what to say
I would absolutely listen to anything Cole has to say about songwriting. This dude is a master
The artist's way inspired J Cole
This is so relatable I ain't gonna lie Cole is kinda inspirational
Bro I love how J.Cole became a rasta homeboy
Dude just literally described my thought patterns 🤦🏾♂️
I dont rap but i write poetry and i struggled with this same kind of writers block, then i started using the Notebook app on my phone and it basically ended it for good the way cole is saying. Just going through the day anytime i heard a word, a phrase, thought of a quick rhyme, ideas that rhymed, plays on words.. ANYTHING that made my mind click id jot it down immediately. Now i have tons of material to work on and pull inspiration from.
Cole has the #1 headband right now! 👑
Wish I heard this year's ago
I'm still writing now
Hate writers block
I mean J cole speaks to me, I mean like even when he doesn't know the infinite number of people he touches, he just talks with me💕..... Damn I love his music 💞 🎶
What a wonderful soul you are j cole💯
Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful , everyone gotta cry once inna while but how long will it take for you smile - Cole 🔥
I would also say if u have an idea write it down regardless if you think it’s good or not it’s not like ur hard committed to it if u write it down or anything
been staying writing for almost every day. hip-hop is a lifestyle!
Hip Hop is really a lifestyle foreal 💯
Showing up is half the battle. 💯
This is a key behind every creativity not just lyrics
Showing up is half the battle.
Looking like Bob Marley
That’s why I love the stu, gotta get them ideas out
Faxx bro📠🔥🔥
He’s given us all so much hope he helped me figure my way off the streets into a house and into a beautiful family and I’ll forever be greatful for the verses
how can someone even hate this man
Recently started writing and recording again. Its feels like there is soo much i haven't spoke on starting to get addicted again
My soul felt this. Thank you
Crazy how i was just telling my friend this. I haven’t wrote in months n i felt like i need to find motivation in order to find my lyrics. But I’m glad I’m seeing this
That's exactly what I do I've been writing for 5yrs straight no days off. Remember you are always going to tweak the flow,put new words in, take a lot out. Lol. 💯 Just keep working it,sometimes it comes quick other times it's a ruthless task. ❤What I'm born to be.
He’s top 5 🔥
Man this is divine intervention with rappers spitting with honest intention
Gotta keep writing
I love this dude dog . Who cares if he apologized . Cole will ALWAYS be top 3
Jcole ✊
Bro this is a good advice specially for me becoming musical artist and writing my own songs
Any real artist knows this specific struggle intimately. I needed to hear this.
Could really apply this to alot of shit, I wanna start doin music nd making lil video game edits but always put it off, i just needa get to making that first beat. editing that first clip with actual focus and then let it flow from there
Fax, every song I write start with a single random bar, then just write the song. Sometimes I don’t finish it completely, but it always give me something to circle back too
Damn I'm literally going thru this right now
It’s so beautiful it’s “the climb back” beat they used - My guy snapped on that track !!!!
I am a software engineer trying to get back into side projects and this advice applies to me as well. Maybe it's universal and applies to any creative endeavor
J Cole is one of the best for inspiration tbh
I tend to write backwards. As in i create the punch generally with the second bar then go back to the first bar to follow thru into the second.
As someone who writes books I completely agree with this. Gotta keep that sword sharp.
And don't let Writers block kick in...🤯🤯🤯
A lyrical genius
Soon I feel a hook coming to me I start writing it down immediately in my phone a napkin piece paper anything then when I’m home I complete writing the full song 💪🏾
Writers ✍️ can understand this
I feel the “it’s the first line” 😂
Needed this reminder. Thank you. 🌻❤️
Song: J. Cole - The Climb Back
One of the Greatest artists in the universe
Trust first self to find true Self!
This is dope to hear a legend feel the same way! Momentum is huge, gotta fight to get it and again and again to keep it!
BROOO Cole is always delivering right when you need it
This is the realest shit i ever heard a rapper say this shit is so factual its insane wasn’t a huge fan of cole but this cemented bro for me
I love you jcole, imma see you and meet you one day to thank you for being my greatest inspiration in rap!
🔥 Show-Up then Show-Out
I can relate deeply to this
Always do what feels right and dont overthink it
Such a fuckin inspiration
My thoughts be running too rampant wheneva I try to write. What i normally do is just breathe and try to focus on what’s in front of me
Cole a cold shooter too that jumper was water 😂🐐💯
It’s all about that first line that leads you on to the next and guides the rest of the song. Love Cole man
Damn the dude is looking like a lion a true king in rap as he is. Nobody can say he aint highly skilled period.
Thank you J.Cole.❤❤❤❤❤
This advice changed everything for me fr. Trusting that first line is huge. Getting past the first line is by far the hardest part
This is so real! Every time it’s been a while since I’ve made a song I always second guess my ideas.
exactly the art of writing without writing love Cole
This advice does along way even for me with trading it’s about trusting yourself and your skill
I don't understand how some people can't comprehend the lyrical genius behind many of J. Cole's song that we can connect to in a way personally & many write him off as just a "hip hop rapper" but he has a voice that resonates inside a lot of people who at times felt they lost it. Thanks J. Cole u really mean a great deal to me
I love this guy💙
I needed to hear that. Thanks Cole 🙏🏽
Alignment of the mind body n soul
Cole really stepped it up fr.
Don't show up when you're confident, keep showing up until your confident
