Lyrical Analysis of...

inrhymes multis examples

  1. What’s the difference between multis and in rhymes?
  2. In rhymes:
  3. The fact is I kick phat raps, so know that
  4. Not just one, I roll with my crew, you step back
  5.  
  6. Multis:
  7. Ain’t no need for wondering who’s the man,
  8. Staying looking right always an exclusive brand
  9. –Big Daddy Kane, “One Day”
  10.  
  11. Both Together:
  12. This is a job –I get paid to sling some raps,
  13. What you made last year was less than my income tax
  14.  
  15.  
  16. Advanced Rhyming Techniques
  17. When you write lyrics online using RapPad it's easy to get caught up in single syllable rhymes. If you want to bring your lyrics to the next level you'll have to incorporate multi syllable lines (sometimes called multis).
  18.  
  19. Our very own RandyRhino recently wrote a rap called "Evolution of Bars." In this rap he writes lyrics that progressively get better by incorporating more and more rhyming syllables in each line.
  20.  
  21. Stepping Stones: Single syllables
  22. RapPad helped me get better with rap
  23. When I first started rapping this is how I really spat
  24. My flow was whack
  25. And I thought I was black
  26. And had a mac
  27. In the lyrics above we see only the last words rhyming. These are the easiest lines to come up with. Let's see if we can step it up a notch.
  28.  
  29. Multi end rhymes
  30. Then I got better and used measured rhymes
  31. I thought I was pro with my clever lines
  32. I finally wrote decent bars and treasured mines
  33. In this example we've leveled up our lyrical game by rhyming the last 2 words instead of just the last word.
  34.  
  35. Internals and multi end rhymes
  36. But then I got even more complex with the lyrical syllables
  37. Seeing more success with my concepts it was a mystical miracle
  38. I didn't even bust yet but screamed 'fuck yes' it was typical my rhymes were sicker but minimal
  39. Internal rhymes are when the lines contain rhyming syllables outside of the last few words. Notice how "complex", "concepts", "bust yet", "fuck yes" all rhyme in similar syllable section of different lines. It's important to note that the lyrics still make sense. Never sacrifice rhymes for something that doesn't really make sense.
  40.  
  41. More internals, indirects, and multis
  42. Finally I'm at the point where I can spit quick...
  43. Using multiple syllables a minute it looks like I'm spitting to the limit
  44. Sicker than the sickest /I inhibit my rigid lyrics
  45. Hitting the big spliffs while I'm spitting vicious
  46. Complicit with an illicit business of the biggest bigots
  47. That ever witnessed the timid misfits who appeared on the listed hitlist
  48. The minute your spirit pivots and hits the limit
  49. I'll send a gang of villainous midgets with the assistance of diligent bishops
  50. If you have another insolent bitch fit
  51. They will diss your dissonance and rip your ligaments 'n' dick quick
  52. Who knew I could rip these lyrics
  53. This is like a striptease snippet in fifteen minutes
  54. Randy is using a combination of multi rhymes and internals that far surpass the original example we started with. Another thing to note here is that not only are more syllables rhyming, but the words themselves are more complex. Not only should you be trying to make many rhymes that trickle down to other lines, but also unique words composed of 2 or more syllables.
  55.  
  56. There you have it. In these four steps you've seen the process of someone going from rap newbie to seasoned expert. You may want to check out the original rap or get started on writing your own song.
