3.) How do u rap? is there a rhythm to make the lyrics and raping sit
on the loop and drum beat?
What are some software or hardware tools to have for making a rap record or demo please??
Look... I'm sick of wanna be rappers, who want to become a rapper case it's cool, or they sit there and think you HAVE to lay x down to be able to rap, and how you can rap. Hip Hop & Rap is just like any other genre of music.
If the music calls for it, hell I'll lay a whole orchestra down for a hip hop track. Mic drums too if I wanted 'that' sound, or use samples if I wanted to use that sound too. There's no special 'mic' for rap vocals, there's no 'special' effects that you need, or special tools for that matter. I use EVERY tool I need to make ANY track whether it be hip hop or rock, to make the final product sound better.
Now, for me, I have the instruments laid on a single track already, or separate track, whichever floats your boat. This can be done on a synth, live, or sample driven. Then I proceed to mix those instruments down and make the sound decent enough, before laying down the vocals. Maybe 10-15 vocal tracks, maybe 5 vocal tracks, depending on the artist style of music. Do like everything else, mix the whole project down, add this and that to the mix, time some reverb into the snare's, whatever the case may be. Your question if serious, should have been making a demo, what goes into it. Nothing just applies to 1 genre of music man.
