Carti

Cum suntem pe un forum de rap,ba mai mult un forum de NetCeeing, cred ca nu gresesc cand spunca majoritatea daca nu toti userii de pe aici sunt interesati de ambele. M-am tot uitat in ultima vreme pe forumuri si pe hhk si pe aici pe la sectiunea de battle scris.Din ce am observat parca e invazie de Nc tineri si dornici de afirmare, oameni care nu stiu cu se mananca battle-ul,care nu au rabdare sa se documenteze un pic , se reped ca leii si cad ca mustele cum se spune.Nu sunt NC-ul perfect sau cel mai bun, nici pe departe, dar consider ca stiu cate ceva despre treaba asta si ca urmare m-am gandit sa incerc sa dau o mana de ajutor.Desi Academia de Battle al lui Becks este elocventa, avand in vedere ca are foarte multe exemple si este explicata mura in gura ,o sa incerc sa diversific un pic treaba.Drept urmare, o sa postez pe aici cateva elemente necesare oricarui battle sau piese rap.
Voi posta fragmente, aceste sunt luate din 2 carti “How to rap” si “Rappershandbook”.In masura in care sunt doritori, le si pot urca pe undeva. De asemenea, daca mai sunt persoane pe aici care au carti cu si despre rap, rog sa dea un semn.M-ar interesa in special "There’s a god on the mic" a lui Kool Moe De si "Rakim Told Me".
So, here we go:

Rhyme

"I’m not one of those dudes that settles for the basic, simple, easy
line all the time. I really try hard, and when you listen to the
rhymes, you can hear the effort in a writer’s song."

1.Perfect Rhyme

A perfect rhyme is the simplest and most obvious form of rhyme.It’s when one word has exactly the same ending as another word.
For example:
cat / hat
mug / plug
hit / grit

2.Assonance (Vowel Sound Rhyme)

Assonance occurs when two words don’t have exactly the same ending but instead use a shared vowel sound (sounds made by the letters a, e, i, o, and u) to create a rhyme. As long as the vowel sounds are the same, the other sounds that surround them (the consonant sounds, or sounds made by letters other than a, e, i, o, and u) can be different. Examples of assonance include:
fit / hip
cat / back
hot / dog
Here is an example from the Madvillain song “America’s Most Blunted”:
The most blunted on the map.
. . . alley with a hood rat.

3.Bending Words

Assonance can be stretched even further by using words with similar vowel sounds instead of the exact same sounds. MCs sometimes “bend” words, pronouncing them in a way that makes two different vowel sounds sound alike:
arms / Mom’s
three / Dre
This technique can be seen in Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” whenhe rhymes
arms are heavy with Mom’s spaghetti.
The words “arms” and “Mom’s” do not have exactly the same vowel sound, but they are close enough for them to work together as a type of rhyme. Stat Quo says, “With Eminem, he makes words rhyme that typically don’t rhyme together—he’s good at that. It’s about how he pronounces it.”

4.Alliteration and Consonance

Alliteration occurs when words begin with the same letter or sound. It’s more subtle than the other types of rhyme, and it does not produce the same effect. It is mostly used to improve the overall sound of the lyrics, rather than to link particular rhyming words (2Mex of the Visionaries says, “I used to write a lot of alliteration type of rhymes—I was just really into the way words sounded”).
Examples of alliteration include:
Jimmy / joke
mama / might
light / ladder
Here’s an example of alliteration by Snoop Dogg from Dr. Dre’s song “Dre Day”:
Here’s a jimmy joke about your mama that you might not like.
Here, “jimmy” and “joke” both start with a j, and “mama” and “might” both start with an m. Alliteration is being used in two ways in this line—with words that are next to each other (“jimmy”and “joke”) and with words that aren’t directly next to each other, just relatively close (“mama” and “might”). Either way, as long as the words that start with the same letter are heard soon after each other, the flow sounds more musical and interesting.

5.Consonance

Consonance is created when the consonant sounds in a word are the same but the vowel sound is different:
sock / sack
cut / cot
bell / bill
Consonance has a similar effect to alliteration—some of the same sounds are repeated, adding another level of interest to the overall flow of the lyrics.
Here is an example of consonance from Kool G Rap’s “A Thug’s Love Story”:
The other six started to pop, felt something hot,
I think I got hit, my jacket is ripped.
The words “hot” and “hit” use the same consonant sounds, but different vowel sounds in the middle. The term hip-hop is itself an example of consonance, where the vowel sounds in the middle of hip and hop are different but the surrounding consonants are the same

6.Compound Rhymes (Multisyllable Rhymes)

Rhymes can be one syllable long, such as “cat,” “bat,” and “hat.”However, this is rare in today’s hip-hop, as most lyrics use compound rhymes, also known as multisyllable rhymes, polysyllable rhymes, or multies. Compound rhymes are created when a rhyme is more than one syllable long. In Wu-Tang Clan’s song “Triumph,”Inspectah Deck uses the following compound rhyme:
dropping these
mockeries
Here, “dropping these” rhymes with “mockeries,” and they are both three syllables long.

7.Couplets

A couplet is a rhyme scheme in which two bars of lyrics are joined together through rhyme. Below is an example from the Beastie Boys’ “Shadrach”:
1 2 3 4
Riddle me this, my brother, can you handle it?
Your style to my style, you can’t hold a candle to it.
The couplet is made up of the compound rhymes “handle it” and “candle to it,” which join the two bars together.
In fact, the whole first verse of “Shadrach” is made up entirely of couplets: the first two bars are joined by “handle it” and “candle to it,” the next two lines are joined by “right” and “night,” the two bars after that are joined by “win it” and “cynic,” and so on. A lot of lyrics are written in this way, entirely in couplets, where the first two bars are joined through rhyme and the next two bars are joined through a different rhyme—continuing throughout the verse or song.

8.Single-Liners

A single-liner is a rhyme scheme in which a bar of lyrics has no rhyming connection to any other bar, and instead syllables within that one bar rhyme with each other—as Planet Asia says, “Some people rhyme on just one bar.”
Below is an example from the Game’s “Put You on the Game”:
1 2 3 4
first, Af- termath, the Chronic is back,
this is indo, produced by Timbo.
Here, there is no obvious rhyming link between the first bar and the second. But the compound rhyme “indo” and “Timbo” works just within the space of the second bar. The Notorious B.I.G. also often used the single-line rhyme scheme to add variety and interest to his flow, as Lateef of Latyrx points out: “Biggie obviously has some pretty intense and complex flows.”

9.Multi-liners

A multi-liner is a rhyme scheme that joins together three or more bars of lyrics. Below is an example from Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise”:
1 2 3 4
D, Public Enemy number one. Five-
O said freeze and I got numb.
Can I tell them that I really never had a gun?
But it’s the wax that the Terminator X spun.
In the example, all four bars are joined together by the same rhyme scheme, through the rhymes “one,” “numb,” “gun,” and “spun.” Making a rhyme scheme work across multiple bars can take more time and effort than using a couplet or a single-liner, but it increases the number of things you can do with the flow. Rah Digga offers this advice: “Don’t rush. If you can make four lines rhyme instead of two, it’s only going to make you a better MC.”

10.Combinations of Schemes

Combinations of single-liners, couplets, and multi-liners can be used within the same verse, creating varied rhyme patterns that keep the listener entertained. Some MCs like to change the rhyme scheme around frequently,and some like to keep it consistent—it depends on the artist.KRS-One often uses different combinations of rhyme schemes in his songs, such as in “MCs Act Like They Don’t Know.” Pharoahe Monch also uses combinations, as in “Simon Says.”For example, multi-liners and single-liners are often used together in a verse to good effect: an odd number of bars are joined together by a multi-liner, and they’re followed by one final bar containing a single-liner, to create a verse with an even number of bars. Or the combinations may be more complex: a verse may start with a couplet, then have an eight-bar multi-liner scheme, then a different five-bar multi-liner scheme, and finish with a single-liner—creating a 16-bar verse in total. Different rhyme schemes can also partially link to each other, so that some of the same syllables are part of more than one rhyme scheme.

11.Whole Verse

Below is an example from Busta Rhymes’s “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See,” which shows two bars of a wholeverse rhyme scheme:
1 2 3 4
it’s a must that you heard of us, yo, we murder- ous. A
lot of niggas is wondering and they curi- ous how . . .
The compound rhymes “heard of us,” “murderous,” and “curious”join these bars together, and the rest of the verse follows in the same way, using the same rhyme scheme for 16 bars. Another example is in Kool G Rap’s verse on “The Anthem,”from Sway & King Tech’s album This or That.

12.Extra Rhymes

In addition to creating the main rhyme schemes that link bars together and provide a structure for the verse, you can add extra rhymes that add to the overall sound of the lyrics. Here is an example from B-Real’s verse on OutKast’s song “Xplosion”:
104 Flow
1 2 3 4
Dre, pass me the glass of wine so
I can pour it over my homies’ graves and mine for . . .
The words “wine” and “mine” link the two bars to create a couplet. Here are the same two bars, this time with the extra rhymes highlighted:
1 2 3 4
Dre, pass me the glass of wine so
I can pour it over my homies’ graves and mine for . . .
The words “pass” and “glass” rhyme with each other but not with the main rhymes that link the two bars together. If the two bars were not already linked, “pass” and “glass” might be considered a single-liner, but since the couplet provides the main rhyming structure, they simply add an extra rhyme on top of it.
