Two Syllable Rhymes
Author: LearnToRap
The next example is the average rhyme pattern, two syllable rhymes, this will also be the main pattern if your going to be battling (rhyming doesn’t hold much weight in a battle unless your exceptional at it). Jadakiss, DMX, Jay-Z, Pac, Biggy, Nas, this is there type of pattern

"I've been fucked over, left for dead, dissed and fogotten
Luck ran out, they hoped that I'd be gone, stiff and rotten"
Nas -Ether
Dissed and stiff rhyme and forgotten and rotten rhyme, dissed and forgotten, stiff and rotten.
The most simplest way to create this rhyme scheme is to just rhyme the last two words of the line your using. So the line I’m going to use “I use my paper as the body and my pens a sword” so we need rhymes for pen and sword, the reason were going to use ‘pen’ and not ‘a’ is because ‘a’ is considered silent in the verse, silent meaning its not being emphasized while pen is one of the words in the line being emphasized. So words being rhymed with ‘pen’ then, ten, bend, lend, send, hen, when, defend, blend, pretend, men, again, friend, and rhymes for ‘sword’ more, for, tore, core, lore, four, soar, floor, poor, nor, score, roar, door, sport, court, fort.
This is where we start putting the words together, send to the floor, pretend to score, ten or more, friends to roar. So we’ll use ‘ten or more’ for the second line.
“I use my paper as the body and my pens a sword,
Ripping through pages, in a hour about ten or more”
“I use my paper as the body and my pens a sword” so the paper is the body I’m using to rip through with my pen. “Ripping through pages” meaning everything your writing on these pages is on point, the content is real good. “in a hour ten or more” meaning your writing so much material that within a hours time you already wrote ten pages or more worth of writing. So the pen is ripping through these pages and in a hours time you got 10 or pages done.
Also, it doesn't have to be two words, it could be a word with two syllables, like the word preview, you could rhyme it with another matching two syllable word like reuse, diesel, evil, or two one syllable words that'll match both pre and view, preview, see you, breeze through, me too.
"This rhyming thing isn't nothing, just a little preview,
But my worst rhymes has been taken and reused"
or
"This rhyming thing isn't nothing, just a little preview,
The littlest verse I ever wrote will still see you"
So the main thing you have to remember is to use the last two syllables or words that’s being emphasized in the line your using, and find rhymes for those two. Once you find enough rhymes, connect the words until you feel you can make two lines that rhymes with the last two syllables/words and make sense of both.
