You can find videos on youtube that explain this in greater detail. Because of his emo rock implementation and singing he would sometimes start his vocals in the spaces in between the beat or on the 3rd beat this is why Lucid Dreams sounds way different than a typical rap song because you’re hearing essentially 2 different flows, his lyrics and then the beat itself and they’re basically dancing with each other where as in a typical rap song the artist tends to follow that 1,2,3,4 pattern and only raps on the downbeat not using the spaces in between. He also did his music differently from what traditional hip hop artist did where they would normally start a verse on the down beat. This is why some smaller hip hop artists songs sound lack luster because they do a song in 1 tack and get caught up in thinking of what to say. Once that was done whichever verses or sections were good then the magic comes in with the audio engineers piecing it together to create a song that sounds complete and never underwhelming, this is the major key in why Juice WRLD very rarely writes songs because when he is in that moment if he rights down his idea and sleeps on it he may forget the next day which is why most of his songs were done in 1 session and not multiple. That's why when you hear his vocals essentially layer over each other this was the result of mutiple takes being pieced together as well as you know the audio engineer removing the breaths applying auto tune and shifting vocals, and mixing the beat to form an amazing track.įree styling over 1 track for an extended time mumbling until he or doing multiple takes which is what he was famous for allowed him to get these new ideas from his freestlyes over and over. This is very popular in pop music today and a lot of big artist use this technique as well where an artist needs to have the best versions of their lyrics even if it takes multiple takes to get right it even if its physically impossible for them to do live. Most of Juice WRLD's songs were what you would call "composite tracks" where the technique of “comping” was used where multiple takes were done and ideas from his very long freestyles were cut and moved around to create a certain song. Which ties another key part is a technique called vocal comping. I believe he figured this out early on which is why he would do those multiple different versions of 1 song and he would tell his audio engineer to pick the version they liked best.


If you take a track and just go with the flow and record 7-8 minutes or repeatedly take multiple takes this allows you to come up with different flow pattern ideas and lyrics. Yes, because one major key part to that is because he was never embarrassed to freestyle even if he messed up. People are always like this man has too many different flows and they always sound fire. I've been doing a lot of research on his vocal techniques and found a number of factors that made his songs so good, one big key part is the audio mixing that goes on behind the scenes mixed with Juice WRLD's freestyling ability.
