How should i make a hook for a rap song.?
The hook should be something infectious and catchy. Listen to songs such as: "Big Pimpin" by Jay-Z, "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg, "All about U" by 2Pac, "S and M" by PMF, and "Bang Bang" by Dr Dre. The hook is basically the catchy punchline in every chorus. Like most of those songs listed, listen to the way the artist works with the beat to create a hook and do the same with your beat.
Blues Traveler - "Hook", do you like this song, do you know what it means?
Put simply, the song is a sort of satire. A hook is the part of the song that people like, the part that makes you remember the song. Normally it's the chorus, but no always. Lead singer John Popper is saying that no matter what you put in a song, if it has a hook people like, you can say whatever you want and people will like the song and buy into it - "It doesn't matter what I say as long as I sing with inflection." He knows all he has to do to make a good song is to have a catchy hook, whether or not it takes any talent or emotion. "The hook brings you back" is the hook of the song, so he can say whatever he wants in this part and get away with it. The message is that you don't need deep, meaningful lyrics to make people like your music. You need a good hook, and it helps to be charismatic. This song's entire melodic line is directly based on Pachelbel's "Canon in D." The well-recognized melody can also be considered an aural "hook," giving the title another amusing twist. This was the follow up to their first hit, "Run-Around." They had been playing since the mid-'80s and got a record deal in 1990. This was their fourth album. The third verse talks about how the challenge of Captain Hook brings Peter Pan back to Neverland, how he couldn't grow up because he wanted to defeat Hook.
What is a "hook" in a song?
A yes to all of the above. The hook is the part of the song that jumps out at you, grabs you and won't let you go. That part, chorus, refrain whatever it is that makes the song unique. Anthem-like songs have (as they say in the biz) 'hooks so strong you can hang your coat on them'.
Is the "hook" in any song the same as the chorus?
Most of the time, the hook is, in fact, the chorus. However, it can also be an instrumental part (think of George Harrison’s guitar lick in “Something “ by the Beatles.)The point of the hook is to catch the listener’s ear and be memorable. Afterall, what good is a song no one can remember?
Song Writing: What is the difference between a chorus and a hook?
I actually disagree with most answers. Yes, a hook can be anywhere in the song but usually it goes: verse, then hook and then the chorus.So if we take the weeknd’s song “can't feel my face” as example it looks like the following:HOOK:She told me, don't worry about itShe told me, don't worry no moreWe both know we can't go without itShe told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, wooCHORUS:I can't feel my face when I'm with youBut I love it, but I love it, ohI can't feel my face (I can't feel nothing) when I'm with youBut I love it, (but I love it) but I love it, ohI can't feel my face when I'm with youBut I love it, (but I love it) but I love it, (but I love it) ohI can't feel my face when I'm with youBut I love it, (but I love it) but I love it, (but I love it) ohConclusion?The hook is the catchy part BEFORE the chorus usually containing words but not always, made up out of a catchy melodious piece, can be instrumental, could be skat, humming or singing.The chorus is the part that ‘usually’ contains the song title and is ‘usually’ made up out of 8 bars. Ofcourse these are just guidelines but it gets you a long way.So verse 16 bars, hook 4 and chorus 8.This would mean that if you should decide to do only verse and chorus in THAT case, the hook should be part of or same as the chorus.Trust me, this is your best answer.
What is the song that has the same beat as Another One Bites The Dust by Queen?

When I record a rap song, do I need to record the chorus/hook twice?
Well, normaly you do more then a single take anyways so you get it just right--or so you can basterdize/stich together a "perfect" take...--but, generally speaking, if there is zero difference between the choruses, you can get away with simple copy pasting... In fact, I'd guess that more often not, that is the norm.Of course, if the choruses are not the same/have some variations, you will need to record every variant extra, but that should be obvious...
Why do some rappers "sample" (steal song hooks) songs most of the time?
My answer will not be popular, but I will say it anyway.Hip-hop was born from a world of poverty. Many young adults in the ghettos of Chicago, New York, and other cities had an innate desire to express themselves and their situation, as human nature asks of so many of us.However, because of their plight, they could not afford instruments, or the lessons required to master them. So instead, they did what anyone does when there is a lack of resources: They improvised.Great teacher, philosopher, and rapper KRS-ONE said that it is the knowledge of not-knowing that caused a great knowing, and this was the catalyst for a great movement in Hip-hop. They took their parents' old records and brought a microphone and started poetically expressing their plight and life over the rhythms in the records, thus creating Rhythm And Poetry (r.a.p.). Now, while the technology to create and produce music organically and originally is now ubiquitous, the essence of the movement stays so true, and permeates even now. In the eyes of a rather Euro-centric America, it looks like a lack of creativity. But in reality, it is ultimate creativity, to invent something new out of spare and broken parts.

What are some songs very similar to M83's Wait?
Other songs that I feel have the same buildup and repetitive closing hook as “Wait” are:• "Transatlanticism", by Death Cab for CutieFrom the 3:00 point onwards, the song has a very melodic and catchy repetition of the line ‘I need you so much closer’, which somewhat resembles “Wait”’s ‘No time’.• "Comforting Sounds", by MewAlso like “Wait”, “Comforting Sounds” has a very emotional hook starting from 4:20, that builds up into a grand crescendo. It is instrumental, but emotive just the same.• "Hoppípolla", by Sigur RósThis timeless piece of art may be the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks about a song that builds up and sways them into a great emotion. Unlike the previous two though, “Hoppípolla” arouses a more ‘inspirational’ feel to listeners.
