The Lyric Stand

There is something that all human beings on this planet Earth cannot do and have not done since the history of man. It is for one person to be able to use more than two hands (Feet are not a substitute for hands, we are not monkeys) at the same time. Although this is an obvious fact, many rappers try and fail at their attempts to do this exact impossible feat. They will have a cup of "brew aka brown water" in one hand, something to eat in another (magic brownies), have a dynamic hand in the same hand as the "drink" and hold the lyrics in the same hand with the "snack". Then they get annoyed when they keep pressing record, but cannot catch the beat and their lyric papers keep making a "crumple" sound with each take.

Let me solve some problems for this unfortunate rapper. Don't eat or drink next to your music equipment (One slip could be a $2000.00+ fatal mistake) or smoke for that matter (try opening up a computer or your equipment after a couple packs of smokes clog the air) and never hold your lyrics. I know it's cool to hold your lyrics, but you do that to show off in front of your friend. Business means business, you would never sag the pants of a men's dress suit so why would you let something as unprofessional as paper crumples ruin your mix.

For rap lyrics (your perfect 16 bars or 4 bar hooks), someone has already invented your solution. A music stand. Yes, music stands are for sheet music for musicians, yet they make the perfect tool for rappers. They are also going to be one of the cheapest equipment purchases you can buy, where price range sometime below the ten dollar mark. Being as cheap as they are, and the potential for you to take your vocal tracks a notch up in professionalism, there is absolutely no excuse for a rapper making a home studio NOT to have one, and maybe more.
