Preface: I'm posting this here because this is the largest and most eclectic community I'm even remotely part of (it's okay to laugh) and I don't think I need to worry about accidentally spoiling the wrong people~

So, I'm planning to write a fanfic (you...you don't need to laugh that much) with a protagonist who's an aspiring singer but discovers the hard way that she can't carry a tune to save her life. However, she realizes she has a decent sense of rhythm, and that her true calling is rap.

Now, of course, I take my Pokemon fan fiction written on a dying video game website to an audience of maybe half a dozen very seriously. So I want to make this as authentic as I can, which will entail eventually writing some actual rap. But I don't have very much personal experience with the genre, so I'm worried I won't be able to write convincing lyrics.

Which brings us to this topic! Any tips for someone who wants to write passable rap lyrics with no rap background? I'm not asking for extensive research or in-depth essays or anything, just some general rules and conventions to keep in mind. I just wanna make sure it'll be at least somewhat believable when the protagonist earns a reputation as a good rapper.

Thanks in advance for any advice~

Write about your own experiences with personal struggle that reveals something about the human condition
