“The craziest thing about Wayne, I go all the way back to the “hot boy” days, and being 13, listening to this dude, just remembering the staple that he put on the game back then, all the way to now, to have that longevity years behind it.
The longevity that he created is a great feeling and I could say I was influenced by a certain sound and the flow and the cadence, that he brought to the game, which was very unique.
Me being a young boy in the game and listening to him like, yo, okay, we need to learn this and that, and that definitely was a perspective from that tape.” - Kendrick Lamar on Being Influenced By Lil’ Wayne
In this clip we see Kendrick Lamar where the influence of Southern rap living legend Lil’ Wayne on his sleeve, discussing exactly how long he’s been listening to Weezy and the perspective that was passed on to a young King Kenny over time.
However, one thing that hasn’t been discussed enough exactly in learning how to write rhymes in rap is:
How exactly did Lil’ Wayne influence the rhyming style of Kendrick Lamar and how you can use that to improve your own rhymes.
“ There’s a constant tug of war with me inside my head that how am I supposed to be one of the things that’s that’s happened to me over the years is rapping gets harder, but rhyming gets easier… If that makes any sense.
Rhyming gets easier because when I think of a couple phrases or whatever it is, I think of so much sh*t that rhymes with it, you know, and connecting the syllables and all doing all that like, but by the time it’s all said and done, is this different than anything I’ve done.” - Eminem on Rhyming Getting Easier
Now although there are a lot of videos on TH-cam about how Eminem rhymes words (including many by us at How To Rap) or interviews with Eminem on how to write rhymes in rap…
A lot of people have not broken down the science of how he does it.
In order to explain this, let’s look at the handwritten lyrics for part of “Lose Yourself”, arguably Eminem’s most well-known song ever.
What you’ll see when you look at the lyrics is not some big, organized line-by-line sequence of ideas, but rather a “collage” of random short quick sentences of rhymes that eventually will come out in a fully-fleshed idea.
“My cousin rapped like a no limit, like Master P type rapper. So I was imitating him. So I was like, ‘I’m a no limit soldier’ like, it was terrible stuff I wasn’t even doing.
But then I started rapping about like how much better I was than people at that time, Eminem was out big pun all these real lyrical rappers, like, those were the guys I were imitating.
But then I started telling stories more and I started leaning more towards like a nas or like a Tupac who I already loved. But I fell in love more, in love with like the way they told stories.
And that’s kind of how I evolved.” - J. Cole on His Rhyming Evolution
Much like Kendrick utilizing Lil’ Wayne influence to mix-and-match styles to create something unique out of thin air, J. Cole’s admitted influence by rappers as varied as Master P all the way to Eminem comes out in some of his underground hardest tracks.
Take for example, the comparison of this scheme on “Rise and Shine” from Cole’s first album:
“You out of shape, my mind run a mile a minute
The sky’s the limit, I’m so high, I’m divin’ in it
My rides is tinted, my knob’s gettin’ slobbed up in it
She hollerin’ God, man you would’ve thought that God was in it…”

COMMENT: What is your favorite 2 bar rhyme scheme from Kendrick, Eminem, or J. Cole?
Please do a video on style/swagger?
I always loved “i flipped like exclamation point (!)” in the climb back by jcole tbh
Jcole Atm- Proceed with caution
They say if you chase it it only results in
A hole in your heart fuck it I'll take the whole cake and I won't leave a portion...etc
In the song SURVIVAL, Eminem says
‘So you'd better trade your fucking mics in for some tool boxes
Cause you'll never take my PRIDE from me,It'll have to be PRIED from me, so pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers’
Stretching the words, (toolboxes) & (screwdrivers) to make them sound similar
Now it's about 4 months I'm starting to doing great at freestyle and rapping thank bruda ❤
👊
Every rapper has his own flow
No shit

no they unfortunately do not lol not anymore
@@darkskinwhite unfortunately you don't know what you are talking about you don't know good music when you it Instead you wanna Trash Rappers
Thanks captain obvious
An even deeper level rhyme method I like to employ is to break down a phrase into it's component vowels (20 vowels in the English language). Thus, "physical prime" would be come something like (ɪ ɪ ə aɪ) "ih ih uh i". This allows me to break the phrase into smaller words, rather than needing the same 3 syllable word that rhymes with physical. "big as a lion" "this little rhyme" "mythic bloodline" "his brittle spine"...
I'm in my physical prime, with this mythic bloodline,
I've become as big as a lion,
Anyone tries to take mine, I make this little rhyme
Using my scribble time to break his brittle spine
BROO YOU LEGIT HELPED ME SO MUCH RN I LOVE YOU
@xtremezmc443 here's my shit... What Happened to rappers today they glorify snorting coke
Industry plants used to demoralize your soul
Mainstream occurrence nother rapper just overdosed
So sniff another line, if you die then you're the goat
Raps about dope lines but not up in your nose
Every second line I gotta hear about foreign hoes
And Rolex's you wear on your wrist that you swore is froze
Wonder why my generations a bunch of retarded clones
But you a consumer so they gotta push the product tho
And you bought it.. so they profit off demonic flows
Underground stay on it, you want it
It's not a joke
My language hard to speak youll get dotted like Morris code
Devils in this shit, its heavy metal when I spit, its Mario, imma pipe up and show em secret levels to this shit
Ever since I was a kid, I was heavy with Lyrics
out casted for being ill but never give a shit
Could you explain this deeper? How do you piece together component vowels?
@@jerzuz7463 I'm not sure how to express it better than I did before, but maybe just another example? Here's 32 lines I wrote for a verse, every single one uses - - (e)r, - - ih as the vowel scheme. My rhythmic cadence isn't as interesting being stuck on 123-,123-,123-,123-, but hey, the rhymes making some sense were more important to me.
"Yo this verse is a list, Of quick words so don’t miss, As I blurt, beep, and spit, Starting first here then shift, Root to third to the fifth. Chordal nerd in the midst, Of my work on these lips. As absurd as it is, It’s still worth all the risk, To bring hurt to your wit. Been uncured of this sick- Ness and cursed to resist. I don’t thirst to get rich. Prefer dirt when I sit. Undeterred by what’s hip. Give the world this here gift,
To encourage you with. Help the herd to resist. To alert and assist. Can be terse when I’m pissed, But won’t serve not a fist. Introvert pacifist. Now the perfect plot twist, If it were to exist, I am certain consists, Of the worst type of bliss, As the Earth, it gets flipped, All the turf would just lift. The observable, fixed, Universe would eclipse, And disperse into mist, Then all burst. Get the gist?"
Notice how "SICK-ness", "un-de-TERRED" and "CER-tain" are only placed so that the correct vowel sound lands on the correct beat. I should mention in English, Fromm what I have seen, (i)r, (e)r, (u)r, are all about the same vowel. For some reason vowels preceding an R, only sound like the rhyme with other vowels preceding an R. This is one of the unique vowel cases. Most are more straight forward.
simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel#:~:text=These%20letters%20are%20vowels%20in,the%20vowel%20sound%20%2Fa%C9%AA%2F.
I gotta say, it's always worth it whenever I whatch this channel
I always learn something new
Glad to inspire you Ivan Madaki!
"Quick gotta move fast, gotta perform miracles
Gee wilikers Dre, holy bat syllables
Look at all the bullshit that goes on in Gotham
When I'm gone time to get rid of these rap criminals"
From Eminem's song Business
I Notice Every Rapper Has There Own Flow I ❤ Rap and Hip Hop
Sounds Great !!!!!
I apparently been using Em's method for years now without even realizing.
Kendrick… iS He Really A Rapper. I Gave Him A Listen. Sounds Like Something Else Interesting & Exciting Where It Can Go. ✌️🌏
Would love to see you cover this but other artists like big pun, immortal technique, chino xl, celph titled, and or ra the rugged man. To me those guys writing techniques are outta this world
Eminems bar in from the D 2 the LBC it goes: That's how I know that I'm in the studio with the Doggy
In Californ-E, 'cuz my homie from Long Beach
Always got that bomb weed, that's why I feel a calm breeze
Every time I palm trees (get it) just like that blonde bleach
I went platinum, then so did my albums, Calvin's turning me into a zombie
Cuz these buds are like The Hulk, they're twice the size that his arm be (his zombie)
And that is some strong green
Amazing video. Thanks
One love, Mauricio Rojas! 👊
I Love J Cole He is lyricist He is An Amazing Rapper Legendary Artist Goat

I studied all there flows
I Believe The Key To Rap is The lyrics

Can I use a phrase like repetitive cycle and rhyme it with he's better than Michael?
I USED THE ARING KING KING METHOD
His soul is escaping
through this hole that is gaping
Basic poetic assonance
YALL NEED TO PEEP KENNY MASON
Hy I've been rapping for 2 years and I need feedback on a verse of mine it goes
Hy guy you better choose
Your words right before you
Die
Don't want you to black out before you even try
Knock your lights out make u cry
I'll bomb all of you suckers wait I just did a homicide
See my bars are lethal
Compared to your their feeble
I'd hate to eradicate you infront
Of these people just a cheap imitation something like a sequel see in my eyes your an old man with
No plan understand this yo
Started rapping since the get go
You failed before I had to test ya
Easily, quickly and consistently I'll best ya
With your fragile mind already my time make you do hand gestures like a mime never mess am the best leave holes in your chest by the rhyme professor
Can you see am spitting flows
Am the freshest individual
All your girls I've mashed causes am invincible
Their were hardly even edible

Hey drew can you explain the Eminem method again?
Discombobulating,
Miss you Ovulating
Eminem
make a rap like this Verse 1:
I step up to the mic, ready to go,
My rhymes are hot, my flow is slow,
I take no prisoners, I leave no doubt,
When it comes to spitting bars, I'm the one who's devout.
Chorus:
My bars are fire, my lyrics insane,
I bring the heat, and I'll never be tamed,
I'm the king of the mic, the master of the game,
My rhymes are hot, and they'll never be the same.
Verse 2:
I don't need no autotune, no fancy beats,
All I need is my voice, and my rhymes to compete,
I'll take on any challenge, any beat, any time,
My bars are tight, and they're always on the climb.
Chorus:
My bars are fire, my lyrics insane,
I bring the heat, and I'll never be tamed,
I'm the king of the mic, the master of the game,
My rhymes are hot, and they'll never be the same.
Bridge:
I spit my bars with passion, with heart, with soul,
I'll never back down, I'll never lose control,
I'll keep grinding, keep working, keep pushing on,
I'll be the one on top, the one who's never gone.
Chorus:
My bars are fire, my lyrics insane,
I bring the heat, and I'll never be tamed,
I'm the king of the mic, the master of the game,
My rhymes are hot, and they'll never be the same.
Outro:
So if you hear me on the streets, or see me on the stage,
Know that I'm the real deal, the one who's all the rage,
My bars are fire, and they'll never be contained,
I'm the one and only, and my rhymes are hot, unchained.
Freedom or jail clips inserted a baby being born the same time a man is murdered the beginning and end as far as rap goes it's only natural I explain my plateau and also what defines my name- Nas from Nas is like (My favorite bar of all time)
Nothing like shredding syllables over instrumentals..which is INSTRUMENTAL to do much as live in the shadow of artists like Eminem ...Not to mention the underground rappers ..which could give him a run for his money like a hijacked ATM..
King iso, look up king iso, he can easily rap with eminem, listen to kool g raps 2002 album
one day I plan to be a family man HAPPILY MARRIED(x5 syllables)
I want grow to be so old that I HAVE TO BE CARRIED(x5)
till I'm GLAD TO BE BARRIED(x5)
and leave this CRAZY WORLD(x3)
and have at least a half a million for my BABY GIRL(x3)
It's Ok~Eminem Feat. Eiy-Kyu
tip number 3 is just internal rhyming
The greatest is Julian Extra, every one else is garbage!!
