Hey it's me that guy who never left his hometown
and is still trying to make it as a rapper
also known as FrankJavCee and in this video tutorial I am going to teach
you HOW TO CLOUD RAP
First you become a CLOUD A cloud is simply a mass of water vapors.
So be sure to head to your local VAPE shop in your custom green 1994 honda civic with
huge spoilers...
For those of you who don't know what CLOUD RAP is...
Here let me google it for you.
WOW!
A wikipedia page, as we all know once, something has a WIKIPEDIA page it all goes down hill
from here....
Let's see...
Cloud rap (also known as trillwave) TRILLWAVE!?
Fun fact, TRILL in music terms means rapid alternation between two adjacent notes, usually
a semitone or tone apart...
I usually sounds like this.
Trill also means in URBAN terms: to be true to ones self and real with all
Very much like the colloquialization of the word BASED created by LIL B, the based GOD
HIMSELF, who is also a cloud rapper....
Where was I...
Oh ya.
CLOUD RAP is an experimental subgenre of hip hop music
which distinguishing features include ethereal, dreamlike beats (which often use
wordless vocal samples, wherein singers harmonize or hold long notes, to produce a majestic
effect) and abstracted, sometimes deliberately absurd, lyrics.
So that's all we need to know to create CLOUD RAP.
LETS GET TO IT.
In this video tutorial...
I will be using LOGIC PRO X!
HAHAHAHHAHHAHHOHOOHOHOHOHWEHHEHEH-EHE
So here I am in FL STUDIO About to make some CLOUD RAP
OH SWEET and already premade cloud rap instrumental
plus rap combination you're probably curious as to what everything
in here does so i am going to, go into detail and show
everything so here's the channel rack, lets go to the
first pattern the first pattern i have is this simple 1980's
choir sound the reason I chose this 1980's choir sound
is because I'm stuck in the 80s at the moment and it should sound something like this
and there's a filter cut off on here to make it louder
FUN FACT I don't have a MIDI controller so I did this all by hand
Next we have this 3XOSC which is my favorite synth, which is just a DETUNED BASS, which
should sound like this if you can't hear this bass it's most likely
that you don't have a subwoofer or you have really shitty headphones
next I chose some 808 kicks because those are cool
and with this 808 kick i have it following the main chord progression
with a little bit of reverb to give it that cloud feel
next i have a reverberated 808 snare to give it that TRAP FEEL!
YOu can't spell CLOUD RAP with out LOUD CRAP and 808's sound loud as CRAP!
next is a weird bell i found from a vintage 80's synthesizer drum machine
so it sounds really strange so what I did was I added some delay and reverb to it and
I made a simple melody to go along to the song
haunting
next i added some toms to the bass to get some funk and flow with the bassline
now you can't rap without one of these, and one of these
is called a HIGH HAT so I made a simple high hat trap progression
to go to the beat next I used that lil bell thing and I turned
it into an arp so the arp should sound like this in the background
the arp is to symbolize rain because I'm rapping
about clouds next I found some rain falling samples on
YouTube and I sampled it Added some delay and reverb to it to give
off the riser flow
now with everything together we should have a beat that sounds just like
this
and something like this but i'm not done here, to be a real cloud
rapper you have to make a music video for you rap so here's the music video I directed
and designed and starred and wrote and made all the music...
I JUST DO EVERYTHING ON THIS CHANNEL!
so I hope you enjoy
Looks like it's gonna rain...
I like this kinda weather.
It makes me sleepy.
I want hot chocolate.
My rhythms immaculate I'm Flying high in the sky
That shits miraculous Super Mario that cloud is CUMULUS
I would know b'cuz I always google it
Cumulonimbus nimbostratus
I'm raining on these hoes Like I am a meteorologist
I'm Nostradamus See the future
Weather prediction says You're gonna get wetter
Than Niagara falls You can lick my balls
I'm just kidding I'm just rapping about nothing at all
Unless you want to then that is your decision
I should get back to clouds now that i have your attention
clouds are just water droplets Sometimes they're water crystals
it's all just vapor in the air Science is magical
float on the atmosphere they rain and disappear
exist on other planets and rain sulfuric acid
CLOUDS
Final Fantasy 7 and I'm on cloud 9
the silver shores that reach heaven is but a golden lie
between a love that is pure selflessness ecstasy
as we reach towards the cusp of near infinity it is inside of me
it is inside of you harmony
exists between that golden line of two
sides of a coin a cup will overflow
one remains empty balance exists WITHIN HARMONY
Clouds
