Delivery
When I first started I was told to up my delivery not knowing full well what it was at the time. So I kept recording and kept getting the same old feedback, so I asked a few people who gave me the feed and they couldn’t define what delivery was too me, which wasn’t a lot of good. But after careful listening to a lot of people stuff I found out myself what It was.
And I’m going to try and break it down so people understand what it is and have better delivery aswel.
First off when you start off your not going to have amazing delivery you have to build on it from scratch and when your recording dominate the beat if you need tips on mic presence hit this up

You need to own the beat and ride it like its your own remember its just takes practice. Back to the delivery to some up delivery in a couple of words I would say ‘Mean What You Say’. When your writing don’t just write it read it off paper when you record it will sound very monotone which ain’t good. When you write learn every bar keep repeating it and repeating it until when your spitting its almost reflex and the words are coming out in such a way people are like whoa I believe what he’s saying.
It also involves emotion and clarity we need to hear what your saying clearly and emotionally you need to put your heart and soul into a track that you’re spitting.
The emotion side is a little different, you can be hyped on the mic like my man Orange Juice always bringing energy and his track ‘Don’t Come Down’ had so much emotion in it you could believe he was meaning what he was saying.
You could also have laid back emotion some people pull it off well like Tali Rodriguez he has a nice laid back emotion/delivery only thing that hinders some peoples laid back emotion is.
Lack of energy which makes it a little monotone sometimes, when writing as I said make sure you thoroughly memorise your lyrics so when your recording your speaking to your microphone and your meaning every mother fucking word of it.
So in my eyes delivery is all about making your self clear when you spit the clarity side of things.
Dominating the beat is essential, as I said there’s a link up there for that side of things. Mean what you say on the microphone put your heart and soul behind that silver tube haha. And emotion side of things depends how you like to spit really if you’re like twista the delivery side of things for people who spit fast aren’t that amazing really. Clarity has to be good but cause you spit so fast its coming off the tongue so quickly its more of the Glam side of hip hop like the exhibitionists shall we say.
Hope this helps.
If you can rap like say a 'Twista' of 'Bizzy Bone', 'Tonedeff' then that kinda rap ain’t all about delivery. Its more like the Glam side of hip hop I enjoy listening to rappers spitting fast I think its very impressive how they can get that many lyrics out that fast. But when you do spit fast its pretty much all about your flow and presence owning the beat and riding it well. Because your rapping so fast you need to keep steady and focusing riding that beat where as if you have a slow flow its pretty much all about delivery. Take the ministry for example on some tracks they spit slow and the delivery is very RAW they spit with emotion out the ass lol. If your somewhere in the middle like spitting average speed and ish, then both flow and delivery have to be taken into account. Broken down when your speaking to a friend of yours and you had a fight or something and your speaking like this. ‘Yea He walked up and BAM I knocked him the fuck out’ You know what I mean by that like you over exaggerate shit that’s kinda how you should rap your stuff.
