Omg yes this is what I adore about great rappers like j Cole Eminem Kendrick Lamar etc. they use the syllables of the rhymes to string you along on a melodic adventure of highs and lows in the form of different vouls

@@wearetheledbetters I've always found it a bit of a mystery how artists choose when/how to go between their rhymes, as well as how rhyme schemes come about when doing an organic process like this. I recognize each of these has an effect on the meaning/depth of the verse, so how do you go about choosing them; and if it's guess and check, how do you appraise them?
@wearetheledbetters Жыл бұрын
@@aarrowaudio I think what you're talking about is really the most personal part of any artist's craft. I think that the art of rhyming (really all art) is about managing tension and release. So we create and break patterns to achieve that. For me choosing is about listening and seeing what comes. A lot of times when I'm writing I don't have an end goal in mind - just wanting to create for my own spiritual and emotional health. So I try to find the truth of the message as I'm going about the process. As an exercise sometimes I'll write within specific parameters (which I think I'm going to make a video about) but when I'm just creating I just see what comes out really. I believe that the best way to appraise how well you achieved your desired effect is by feeling which is really honed through time and experience. I always ask myself at the end - did I tell the truth? Was it worth listening to again?

Verse: I wonder what year that people forgot knowledge and wisdom is power and vision because now we all follow what fits in It's uncommon to give the power to victims and if it's given then it's a hollow decision allows em to benefit Judges giving time for little bribes didn't commit the crime But still that doesn't mean you ain't gon get the time You could be living the prison life but you're innocent And in a sense you died lost life now your picturing What it's like outside the bars riding in cars Now your slowly going crazy hope is fading life's a mirage I rap divine god, but for now I'ma just pause

Bro. You're a real gem to come across. Can you expound more on letting the syllables take the place of notes like a piano please?
@wearetheledbetters Жыл бұрын
Sorry for the late reply but the concept is really about musical pitches are a language but an abstract language. They convey feelings and emotions but not necessarily concrete ideas. Like if I say book it usually means a literal book but the space I like to explore is using words in abstract ways to convey feelings and emotions the way notes might. I can play the note C 100 different ways and in thousands of different contexts to give it different meanings or emotional charges. So instead of saying book and meaning a literal book - I might call it taxidermy for trees, or I might even deconstruct the word like "If I right (write) my wrongs enough I'd be double ok." (B-O-O-K). Wordplay when done well can take a word with limited meaning and give it unlimited nuance and feeling.

So it's kinda like writing a rhyme log but actually using it to make a song, makes sense. That was how I got better at freestyling, and what you said about vocabulary is top tier rap advice. I became a much worse lyricist after school even though I matured as a rapper, simply because I didn't have as deep a bag to pull from. A thesaurus and a dictionary are a struggling writer/rappers best friend. Plenty of inspiration from basic words in there, and it increases the number of connections your brain makes between words through exposure to a larger volume of them. But honestly, just having a love for words or learning/ other scholarly acts will make you a better rapper because rapping requires *intelligence*.

sry for late reply. Of these combos Uranus doesn't completely work because of the hard "A" sound which is also the emphasized syllable meaning the rhyme scheme you established of "Ur + Us" would be broken unless you purposely mispronounced Uranus to "YOU'RE an US" as a stylistic thing - which you can totally do.
