Bad Rap

    🚀 Warm-up / Exercise
    ⭕️ Circle

    Categories:
    • Musical Improv

    In a circle, the group sets a rhythm. One person raps a rhyming couplet, leaving off the last word. It should be a pretty obvious set-up for the word, eg:

    “Going out tonight and I want to flirt

    What shall I wear? I guess this…”

    Instead of staying the obvious rhyming word, the next person in the circle should fill in anything that doesn’t rhyme.

    “Spider”

    Then everyone raps to the beat:

    “Bad rap, bad rap, bad-rap-bad-rap-bad-rap”

    We begin again with the person that just gave one word.

    Variations

    • Try it with a word that fits the set up category but doesn’t rhyme (e.g. like in the example – “dress”)
