well i just think a lot of cats, from all regions, use that shit as a crutch...but especially i notice it in the east coast cuz they'll make some words rhyme in one song using one pronunciation and then go right ahead in the next song and pronounce the same word differently to make it rhyme there...Paragraph President wrote:I know that you feel a need to point this out in every single rhyme I post, going so far in the past to claim that words that have been rhymed on countless well known and repeated songs by the likes of Rakim and Run DMC don't rhyme, so I'm gonna drop a little science on ya. It's called an accent - people in different parts of the country speak differently. In cali, they say "Waaaaaaaaterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr", but in the northeast in urban areas people say something that sounds more like "wuttah" and for brother it comes out more like "brudda." It's just a fact of life you might have to get accustomed to.RacquetballGangsta wrote:lol..serious..the only person that could make THIS shit rhyme:SeaTownBlues wrote:hey it is KRS THUN
Timeless applebum sweaters just means we blood brothers
linking old trails of tears to Katrina's floodwaters
that shit dont rhyme in any kind of english ive ever heard of...lol
but i liked this:
"If a-like be alike, U-N-I see cobra beasts
retreat from live globe Amphitheatre Lower East
Code of da streetz: baretta shine through leather parkas"
and
"Think you Escobar size?
Ethnic cleansing spics spans to ghetto apartheid"
dope.
Thanks for the feedback.
i dunno, im partial to the black thought style of just inventing pronunciations creatively to make things rhyme.
Last laugh
kiss this brilliant fist, pounding the face of normalcy
never will you see this talent in an another form than me
I swore to be the bringer of justice to all my brethren
n mothers who struggle to properly raise their children
I define the essence of spirit and heart
tearin apart the fabric sewn by those who put fear into god
I don't live for the art... I merely contribute
I live to teach the next generations to pay tribute
and refine the world, the time for change has arrived
let the rain clense the earth, the sun enlighten ya mind
blood stained eyes witness love drained from life
causing strength to generate from pain, we've come to claim our rights
in this age of strife, i got my doctrate at thirteen
in surgery, precise with the ox, i opped dreams
plot, scheme, aim red beams to get cream
dropping bodies embraced by the company of dead leaves
when I die, Imma turn into a super nova
and create a heaven for all of my fallen soldiers
watchin over the peace that death came with
they're one in the same, check the flowers ya flesh created
chasin equality,the laughs of faces marked with scars
knowing every atom in our bodies was, once, part of a star

i dont understand the literary devices and shit but the scheme is intricate and this is dope. How long does it take you to right like that?Aethetical-Hades wrote:The use of internal and broken-rhyme in this piece is unbelievable...I don't know how you do it....even I have difficult "controlling" those two schemes--sometimes....

Racquetball: I agree, some rappers, particularly Nas, will play with pronounciation quite a bit. I happen to think the way he does it is brilliant at times, sounds great, and pays homage to the various ways that people in the northeast pronounce things.
As far as the way I write, I like to be authentic with it - i see no purpose in conforming to some standard newscaster prnounciation when writing a rap. You may not realize it, but most every crew from cali that i've ever heard rhymes words that would never ever ever ever come off in a freestyle cipher in new york but what are they supposed to do, rap in the queen's english?

Life Innovates Art
with keen watchful eyes
they employ skill to art
a delicate balance of nimble movements
a twist, a slice, a tear, a tuck
from the ancients to the contemporaries
a form of its own, never replicated or revised
it becomes them, the movements aren't thought out
the graceful precise studying knife held by the hand of its master
now all can pay to witness this, see the masses eat it up
with no regard, no attention to the beautiful precise practice of the process
the art bastardized in the minds of the common
but the master's eyes do not see this
instead his vision squared upon his profits
without fail, the art uncompromised or fused - majestic, brave,
proud and pure.

deja vu views
and memory lane strolls
Hired's my Doctor Octopus
respected but repeatedly beaten main foe
call me a pompous savant
i crush souls quite precisely and prompt
ya'll get pummeled to pulps
USDA grade beef i always promise to squash
before any real threat actually starts
you flunked stunt 101, stunk it up like raw sewage left out in the sun and forgot
off the hook very often while a bar graph shows im toppin the charts
you'll get standard issue angel wings and a matching gold harp
prepare to be the ass end of my jokes
horribly teased and incessantly mocked
like scottish sea monsters chromes definitely got this on Loch
death grip stylings that I inadvertently lifted from Spock
calling otherworld a nerd, homie your not one to exactly
the wordplay alone is enough to get your nonexistent girlfriend to gawk
like it or not
juggernaut niceness is constantly dropped
the floor with your face im most likely to mop
if you think i'm losing son, a favorable outcome for gun is grim
an oddsmaker shooting Trimspa(baby) intravenously would even say your chances are slim
oh dear mr gun why wont you ever learn?
every line you drop is a misadventure like George Bush's second term

i'm looking at the internet through a device that puts all the information in a 3-D cube of pictures and colors. and let me tell you, dear friend, your work really looks lovely sandwiched in between all that porn and hyperbole.
may your work serve as the beautiful beacon of truth for which weary seafaring net surfers aim for.
thy grizzly grey seadog,
Gut Frozen

Re: Last laugh
that line hit close to home. maybe too close? it's the kind of imagery that would replay in my mind when i spent the summer digging graves and would sometimes get the urge to lie in them to see if i would be mistakenly carted off to the next world...but all i got was dragged out into the street by the supervisor and punched in the kidney. it doesn't pay to be scientific.360 wrote:dropping bodies embraced by the company of dead leaves
well, this beauty woke up the ghost in me. you are an unquestioned top-tier talent in this forum.
