Rap song help

[jasminesmommy1]

Mt DD is in a vocal contest and final 2. There is a rap dAY and we need a song with small rap in it. They want mostly singing and i cant find one. all i find are men ones that are vulgar. any suggestions people?

So you don't really want a rap song, right? You want a signing song that has a small rap in it?

What came to mind immediately are "My Love" by Justin Timberlake. T.I. raps in it. There is also "Umbrella" by Rihanna. Jay Z raps at the very beginning. Or "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce. Jay Z raps in that one as well.

There are a ton of R&B/pop songs that fit this mold. I hope this helps.

How about something by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince?

 

[JohnsPrincess]

Isn't there a Jonas Brothers song where their bodyguard raps a bit in it??

**just went and looked it up - Burnin' Up has a small rap bit in it. Though it's all guys...but maybe it would work for her?

The Classic: Rapper's Delight.
She could just do a segment of it (LOOONG song), but it would be kind of easy to learn.

That or a cleaned up version of Eminem's The Moment

I'll show my age here and go with TLC. Most TLC songs contain a part with Left Eye rapping.

lol. I don't know how old you are, but I thought about TLC, too, after my first post. So you can't be that old.

Another choice could be Madonna's Vogue. She "raps" in that song.

Maybe anything by the B-52's since the male singer kinda raps?

Michael Jackson's Black or White has a small bit of rap in it, but that might be a really hard one to do.

A few females ones with pretty clean lyrics:

Lip Gloss by Lil Mama (I've seen this performed by my dd's friend hip hop dancing and its a good performance song, don't forget the lip gloss to put on as a prop).
1, 2 Step by Ciara & Missy Elliott
Express Yourself by Salt & Peppa
I Missed the Bus Kris Kross
What About Your Friends by TLC

It's Tricky by Run Dmc

 

[frndshpcptn]

N'Sync - Girlfriend (Nelly remix)

 

[RadioNate]

Something by the Black Eyed Peas?

I was thinking "Where Is the Love?" by BEP clean & good message

Ooh that one would be a cool song to do!

i guess i'm old school too, b/c TLC was my first thought as well. i know there's a rap in "waterfalls". salt n pepa came to mind too, but there stuff might be too raunchy, lol.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Hey what about Gwen Stefani? She has music + rap.

Or how about Fergie? Glamorous Life comes to mind.

 

[sissybells]

I think "Sweat" by C & C Music Factory would be a good one.

Thank you all for the wonderfull choices. she is 12. TLC was kinda hard cause the lead singers voice is so low. I think were going with a song called Promis ring by a little girl named tiffany and ciara does 2 raps in it and a cute song so once again thank u all so much.
