To rap like Eminem, start by listening to all of his albums so you get a feel for how he sounds. Once you’ve learned some of his songs, rap along so you get used to his speed and rhythm. Then, try a rap of your own, and have it tell a story, which is what Eminem’s raps do. Let yourself be intense and extreme, like he is, and don’t be afraid to rap about divisive or taboo subjects. After a few tries, record your rap and play it back so you can pick out what works and what doesn’t. Then, listen to Eminem for some more inspiration, and give it another go.
