How to rap?

Well, I'm gonna be the biggest swedish rapper ever born, but I got this problem. Im musically dead inside my body...

"If you write raps down, there are four beats per line, and eight beats per couplet."

What does this mean? How do you count beats? How... do you rap? I know how to rhyme but does anyone know the grounds of rapping? Is there any guide or somethin?

When your rapping, what you need to do is love the music your listening to and just match it with the beat...so the beat counts 1, 2, 3, 4 and then make a rhyme on another count like 1,2,3,4. Once you get used to it you will be able to do it without a count. But if your musically dead inside you body. It would help if you listen to stuff that inspiried you to write the rhyme.
