In my opinion, what you're describing is internal rhymes. Like ABBA rhyme scheme so it allows rhyming in the middle along with rhyming the beginning and end. "Learn to ride the track/know the bass and the snare is basically there/ to provide the pace to guide the track " -ELZHI (Great rapper btw when it comes to patterns and schemes) (A)Ride the track (B) Bass and the snare (B) Basically there (A) Guide the Rap Nas did this a lot around this time in his career. He still does it now but he used it more heavily in the 90s.
The previous verse he ended with " I had some other plans, like the next time the beef is on I'll make myself jam right in my owner's hand". All of the guns were tired of murdering, but Nas had plans of doing something about it.
Nas - “Rewind” He tells a story backwards. Even the characters’ dialogue in the song is backwards and it still rhymes lol its a ridiculous level of writing. Give it a listen
Nas is the greatest to ever touch the mic the goat , and hes one of the greatest writer of all time and that goes in any category and genre if not the best. Do "nas memory lane" and "it aint har to tell" next and nas is one of the greatest poets ever. You can even study his poetry and lyrics.
Nas - Fetus Nas - Money is my bitch Nas - Undying Love Nas - Rewind Nas - Last Words Nas - Ether Nas - It Aint Hard To Tell Nas - Nas is like Every single one of these songs is a masterpiece. And Nas has many many more. Had to throw Ether in there lol.
You do a great job with your reviews. I agree the more you dive into Nas the better you will get as a poet. Next two has to be these two…. Undying Love New York State of Mind
When it comes to rap, Nas is the most lyrical. He pairs a picture with his words. Another other great songs where he lyrically puts you right there with his words is “Rewind” if you haven’t heard “Rewind” listen to it now. I’m sure you’ve heard nothing like it before. Read your book. I like it. It draws one intro the world that is created in the short poems. Kind of makes me wonder… “is that what I was think?” Or “Is that how I felt?”
This man has published and pressed two books, and someone says you'll be a better writer if you listen to Nas. Sometimes, I don't think people realize when they're being insulting...
As for lyrical rap, seriously, I wish you could speak Polish, because Łona does rap in that very language. Lyrical genius. But when it comes to English... Aesop Rock, I recommend you his work, for example "None shall pass.
If you remember, in the verse before Nas said the next time, he was going to "jam right in his owners hand." When he was talking about "the moment he was waiting "(for) he wasn't ready to kill, he was ready to "jam in his owner's hand." I saw a suggestion for "Rewind " by Nas. You really should try that one on next if this one impressed you. You'll probably pause the video a million times. (Lol) Nas has several mind-blowing lyrical and conceptual performances.
Nas rewind...crazy he raps the story backwards
Dont spoiled it , you ruined the surprise
"Last Words" Nas raps from the Perspective of a Prison Cell
Undying Love 🔥
Notice the song starts and ends with damn.

The ending to the song is so good, it symbolises that the cycle continues. High level storytelling with a timeless theme. Amazing writing.
Chills till this day this song gives me!

if you haven’t heard “Rewind” listen to it now. I’m sure you’ve heard nothing like it before.
Read your book.
I like it.
It draws one intro the world that is created in the short poems.
Kind of makes me wonder… “is that what I was think?” Or “Is that how I felt?”
I feel that Nas got some inspiration for this song from the original Toy Story movies - I think it came out a year or so before this song
Stray bullet from organized confusion....
I think he got it from Organized Konfusion - Stray bulltet (1994).
That song is from the perspective of a bulltet.
This man has published and pressed two books, and someone says you'll be a better writer if you listen to Nas. Sometimes, I don't think people realize when they're being insulting...
What are the titles of the books?

Great video 👍
