Kendrick Lamar, DUCKWORTH. | Rhyme Scheme Highlighted

Why I chose this song:
Not only one of Kendrick’s best, but one of the best storytelling songs of all time! Absolutely crazy true story here!
Listen to it here: spotify.link/KKT6elOZFyb
All criticism is welcome!

[@AH-bm5xs]

As purposeful, skilful, insightful, meaningful and beautiful as rap/music/art gets. And it still doesn’t even quite make it into my top 10 songs by Kendrick. Easily, the greatest of all time.

[@jt3360]

100% agree. Makes it into my top 10 of his but ye most of his songs are multi levels above the next best rapper or even any great artist

[@Alexis_7]

I think is its best. Storytelling showing off his skills and finishing probably his best album with a boombap lyrical shit

[@owkrikki]

The thing is, hes not the MOST technical rapper (there’s others who write more complex punchlines, multisyllabes, wordplay, etc) but his artistry, concepts, execution nd raw lyricisms insane- he’s genuinely the best at putting everything together, his poetic writing on top of his great technical ability- hes the GOAT both from a lyrical nd artistic standpoint.

[@AH-bm5xs]

@@owkrikki totally agree with everything you said. Although I don’t think he’s far off from being the best technical rapper, I think he’s in the argument alongside few others, like MF DOOM and Black Thought. But yeah, I’m terms of the artistry and whole package of all the elements of rap/music, I think he’s far ahead of the next best rapper.

[@owkrikki]

@@AH-bm5xs Nah ion think he’s far off either but theres def ppl who i can think of from the top of my head that are better at purely jus multisyllabic rhyming or punchlines

[@snailed__]

Fucking crazy he managed to tell an impressively detailed story with such a complicated rhyme scheme

[@aadi_dorle]

Yea but still id say around 60% would be intentional rhymes and the others just happened to rhyme. I could be wrong and he might have made more intentional rhymes but thats just my opinion as someone who does write raps

[@ninjachannel007]

This is poetry. You can read it without the beat and still feel the depth of it.

[@QuanNguyen-tt6kq]

That's the power of the greatest MC alive!

[@ninjachannel007]

@@QuanNguyen-tt6kq Relax. It's a young man who actually went through something, who can describe it with abstracts and metaphors. Nothing to do with "power".

[@heezy8178]

for all who dont know,he is explaning how top dog and his father met at a kfc shop,kendrick is really good at story telling

[@shiven513]

If you have to explain then it sounds like he’s not a good storyteller; which he is.

[@user-is3jp4qt3h]

Kendrick Lamar is a great story teller as well with his multisyllabic rhyming and switching of flows

[@Kienner]

He didn’t say killing us he said scandalous crime

Maybe my favorite Kendrick song

[@TheGBat504]

2:05 at the bottom I feel like "place before" rhymes very well with "'84" (eighty four) Edit: I just realized he did the same in 2:14 because "customer" should rhyme with "manager", i think

[@samhancock1977]

I agree, it is also pointed out as a rhyme in the video

[@iamsam-cu9rz]

Manager and customer is a little off but place before and eighty four fits

[@TheGBat504]

@@iamsam-cu9rz It might look off but it's kinda the way he says it that it sounds similar. Listen to it again, you can hear his voice raise in the syllables 'cu' and 'ma' and it continues the same way. It also counts that both of them end with the syllable 'er'

[@Holy-crap_Im_In_Fortnite]

also at 0:10, "DEMONS" and "comeDIAN" rhyme

[@iamsam-cu9rz]

@@Holy-crap_Im_In_Fortnite no they don’t.

Probably your best one yet keep it up brother

How do you pick what colors? Genuinely I want to understand how to color a rhyme scheme

[@Kaname2002]

You pick the colors based on the sounds the words make. You need to remember which colors are for which sounds though it's a pain.

[@C-sco]

​@@Kaname2002just make a list on a block notes and take it open while you do it, its maximum 10 colours

The ryhmes are wrong no? Like the things in the same colour don’t rhyme

[@sawyerbarney4194]

its the cadence, both words dont look the same but the way he pronounces it in the song, they rhyme unorthodoxly
