5 Rules to Performing
 
This is the second section of lessons on how ta improve your performance skills. The skills that we're gonna look at in this section are basic in a lot of ways, but they are also the things that make a difference between a Pro and a Amateur! Any person who's good at any skill has got the basics down tight. So don't sleep on these hints!

The FIRST rule of performin' is that YOU MUST MOVE WITH THE MUSIC! Performin' isn't just standing there and sayin' ya rhyme! You gotta move with the music if you want the crowd ta be moved by ya music! I'm not sayin that ya need ta be Hammer or Michael Jackson! (No disrepect ta eitha!) But don't be up there like a statue either!

I saw this one MC rap at this place I was rappin' and he did this crazy dance-like move durin' the chorus. It was straight up FUUUNKAY! He wasn't really dancin, but he was movin' ta the music in this crazy way! He made the crowd go crazy when he did it. And I've always remembered that homie out of all the others I've seen perform! I seen this one group performin' and the whole group did this same set of movements durin' this one part of the song. It wasn't no "thriller" type dance routine. It was real nice!

I'm not sayin that you gotta do some move durin' ya chorus or that everyone in ya group's gotta do the same move. I'm just sayin' MOVE IN SOME WAY TO THE MUSIC! Bob ya head! Bounce a little, but DONT JUST STAND THERE!

Hints:
-This first hint is the #1 hint for all these rules: You need ta practice every once in awhile in the mirror!
-Also you need ta have one of ya homies video record ya when ya perform, so you can critique yaself
-Don't do any moves that don't feel natural ta ya. Only do what fits ya style and personality!
