3. GENRE CHARACTERISTICS
Pre Recorded Tracks : In rap music, a pre-recorded track,
usually composed of electronic instrumentation or drum beats,
is played in the background, while the rapper recites the song
lyrics.
Rhymic Beats : Rap songs always have a rhythmic beat,
usually in a 4/4 time signature. This steady, strong beat makes
rap music popular in dance clubs. The beat is particularly
strong on the bass line, which can sometimes dominate the
other instrumentation.
Lyrically Based : Although a strong, steady beat is the
anchor for a rap song, the true source of originality is the
lyrics. Two rap songs can have virtually the same pre-recorded
track, but with different lyrical interpretation.

Video Lyrics
What kind of things that you have
When I find out don’t expect me to stop
I’ll come for the P’s that you stack
And come for all the food that blot
Better hand over the bag
Your boys don’t wanna see you shot
If I kick down the door to your flat
Dun Know I’ll clear out your house on the spot
(CLEAR!) All the things in your house
(CLEAR!) All the things in your fridge
(SMASH!) All your plates from your rack
(CLEAR!) All's your kids’ toys
(CLEAR!) All's your CD rack
Won’t get none of your CD’s back
Drag off your curtain rail from the wall
Kick off your HDTV from the stand
Run up on stairs in to rooms
Flip the mattress and search for the cash
Make man look down the barrel of a mash
Its not worth your life just cough up the scratch
Its to late to lock up the latch
I can smell the crow just pull out the batch
I’m not here to cotch and relax
And drink your wine here just pull out the bags
I have to punch up guys
Guys try it with me I don't know why
Bax! Pax man straight in his eyes
They floored me I was looking at the sky
Par! Now I have to go blind
That boy there I swear he gonna die
You’re not bad you’re a mug don’t think you’re a guy
When I slap man you won’t be alright
