2.You're going to need an audio mixing program to record your raps over the beats. Mixcraft 6 is free, there's a lot of choice depending on price range besides this. I hear Pro Tools is good, I use Adobe Audition, it works pretty well, and you can get Creative Cloud (all adobe programs) for like 20 $ a month now?
3. You're going to need a USB Mic, or an eternal audio card to plug a regular Mic into then to plug into your computer.
4. You're going to need Skills, don't just talk, rap it with style over the beat, then rap it to yourself, the best recordings will come from "strong flows", so rapping to yourself with quiet beats going or none, until you develop a style or a flow. Most famous rappers started by doing this in freestyle circles and pounding their hands on a desk and rapping over it. Rap along to songs until you can get your voice loud enough to be confident to flow and to record.
You can write 16 bars ahead of time, to it, or just forget the 'bars', and rap however you like over it.
For intermediate: most rap songs have 4-8 bar intros, 16-32 bar verses and 4-8-16 bar choruses, with 4-8 bar outros.
Sooo, you'd be writing 3 16 sentences and a chorus (hook), no homework! (not literally)
5. Most of all, listen to POSITIVE music and keep it POSITIVE, the rest can only last so long, and your mind is your 'diamond'.
