Basics Of RAP (what To Know When Rapping) by Nobody: 9:01am On May 26, 2013
RAP DEFINITIONS
~Punchline~
Punchlines are the mostfun for almost everyone. Punchlines areused mostly for jokes. Punchlines can be very simple or very complex. But a punchline is supposed to suprise, shock, or make you laugh depending on the nature of it. A punchline is definte as "the point of a joke or humorous story". A punchline does not always have to be funny but many of them are. Punchlines area part of creativity and it keeps and emcees audience interested in him. The most important aspect of a punchline is that it makes sense.
~Multi~
Multis are what many young emcees do not understand. All of us in our beginning stages of rap use them and do not know that we are. Multis are something that is so natural in rap that it's overlooked and left in a simple stage byso many emcees. Three of the most notable users of Multis are Fabolous, Lloyd Banks and M.I(@mi_abaga) . If you listen close totheir rhymes you can here the purposeful usage of multis. Mutlis are repitition of perfect syllable sounds. Everyone who has listened to rap has heard a multi that was simple and complex without knowing what they were. The averageand uneducated listener of rap or uneducated listener would say he has an ill flow, or killer flow. The educated emcee or listener ofrap would say that he or she uses multis well.~Wordplay~
Many seasoned veterans still misinterpret wordplay. Wordplay can be used as multis or rhyme scheme. Be sure to remember that multis are a particular rhyme scheme is done correctly. But wordplay is simply not the repitition of sound. It is the repitition of precise words to create different meanings. Theenglish language is perfect in giving emceesthis flexibility with the complexity of our language. We don't thinkthat our language is complex because to us it seems so simple. But a chines man would have no problem flowingin chinese, but if he never spokeenglish our ways of using the samewords for so many different defintions would confuse him. And do not think wordplay islimited to separate definitions, it is just ~Complexity~
This is basically saying how educated your rap is. Also talking about the levelof thought your person has to put into reading your verse.
~Flow~
Flow is defined as; the act of flowing or streaming; continuous progression,the motion characteristic of fluids (liquids or gases), any uninterrupted stream ordischarge, the amount of fluid that flows in a given time, dominant course (suggestive of running water) of successive events or ideas. Let's deal with the words, continuous progression, any uninterrupted stream ordischarge, and successive ideas. This iswhat flow is and it doesnot death with rhyming totally. Flow is the way the words come out. They must be smooth and uninterrupted by stuttering, mumbling, orleaving a word out that should be there. In rap however, for somethingto truly flow it must eventually rhyme. If youlike to think ofrappers with awesome flows you'd thinkof Biggy, Jay,Eminem, Ludacris, M.I, ChuckD, Rakim, Big L, and of course probably number one is Big Pun. All of your good rappers have a great flow. One who also comes to mind as anew age rapper is Lloyd Banks. He is known for his flow and what will discuss next. Multis. All great rapper possess some type of unforgettable flow, it is what sets the cream ofthe crop away from weak emcees. Here is an example
~Rhyme Scheme~
This is another fascinating element of rapping. Rhyme schemes are the way you flow your words that are unique and not common to see or hear. There are flows so simple as the ones outlinedin the flow section, some like thoseladen with multis like Fabolous, M.I and Lloyd Banks. Rhyme scheme iswhat sets many emcees apart from each other
