Rhyming
Author: LearnToRap
Rhyming is what can seperate an ordinary verse from an outstanding verse. From as long as i've been listening to rap, rhyming is one thing that always impressed me. So I decided to gather all the different rhyme schemes i've heard from different artist and show how they're implemented by these artist. This is to show you the rhyming patterns so you can experiment with. The rhyme scheme's should always end on a even number, 2, 4, 8, or more.
There’s different ways to implement rhyming in your verses. These number patterns will show you the commonly used rhyming formats. The numbers stand for the same sound, 1 rhymes with 1 and 2 rhymes with 2. Each pattern will get an industry rappers verse explanation.
Bars with a single rhyme in it are no good, only the corniest rappers use a single rhyme for each bar, that’s the worst. The same syllable one word rhyme in each line, only rappers who use this format are mainstream rappers, the mainstream these days are lacking heavily on lyrical content, creativity, rhyming, etc. Multi same syllable rhyme is good, nothing special, Two syllable and multi two syllable are the most commonly used format by almost all rappers. But then you got those rappers that take rhyming to a whole other level, these rhymes are the most impressive, skills in rhyming is definitely needed if your going to attempt them.
All these patterns don’t have names, so we here at LearnToRap is going to put a name to all of them.
