Great. Just wish you hade to go over everything

By Ian M Moore on 5/17/2020

Its a great leacture on the concepts of writing lyrics and the how and why behind it. The course itself, save one example, does not really ever touch on the actual structure of lyrics. Now I'm not going to lie, I'm a Grade D beginner here, that's why I got this course, I was just hoping for more material on the structure. Overall, I still learned a lot.

By Wilson Nguyen on 5/8/2020

Very informative with a ton of value!

Grreat course,

By Juan Carlos Espino on 4/10/2020

Honestly I think this course was 4 stars, some of the lectures seemed to ramble (just a little bit) and there weren't too many actionable insights. But a few of the ideas on writing, and styles are good mindsets and can help with your verses and creativity. A few good actionable tips but those were basic, overall happy to support because his Youtube videos are amazing. I will buy another course and hopefully get more out of it, but I'm sure I'll get at least a couple of gems, like I did in this course.

By Dennis Hamann on 4/3/2020

Great course, before I bought this course I practically inhaled the videos on Youtube, especially the ART series. That helped me to develop a more technical understanding of rap itself. This course perfectly builds on that by showing how to work the writtens in to a song format. How to approach writing a song and everything along with that. Some of the tips arent new but that doesnt mean you cant use a quick refresher. Overall great course, enjoyed it and will start applying immediately. Thank you Andre, keep em coming

By Ayana Wright on 3/22/2020

This course is for beginners who want to get into writing. I was hoping that the teacher to have more examples of pass works that he has done or break down some other works. Im a subscriber of his on YouTube, and think his content on there more advance. So I was expecting a deeper dive. I feel this class was focused on the just subject of writing in general.

By Aaron on 2/21/2020

Was good overall, a little basic, was hoping for some more advanced techniques but its not really designed for that I guess! :)
