How to Use Multis in Rap

1.Figure out what you actually want to say in your rap. Lots of rhyming does you no good if your rap is complete nonsense.

2.Pick a phrase that is crucial to your rap that you wish to rhyme with. For example, if you are doing a rap about hunting, you may want to rhyme with the phrase "hit the bear"

3.Make a list of words that rhyme with both of your key words. Unlike a regular rhyme where you'd only rhyme with "bear" (hair, there, care, chair), in a multi you'll also want to rhyme with "hit" (sit, get, spit, quit).

4.String together pairs of words from your two lists that make sense together. For example, you may have sit and chair, get and there, quit and there.

5.Flesh out your word pairs into fuller phrases. For example "I was in my SITting CHAIR", "needed to GET to THERE", and "had to QUIT from THERE."

6.Figure out how to work your phrases into a logical structure that involves your key phrase. For example, you were sitting in your chair, went to get somewhere to go hunting, shot at the bear but missed, and had to run away.

7.Arrange your phrases in the order that makes sense for the story, and add lyrics to make it a full verse. For example:"Fed up with being in my sittin' chair,Want to go hunting, had to get to there,Took a few shots, but didn't hit the bear,And the grizzly got pissed, so I quit from there."

advance rhyming

The words 'Multi Syllable Rhyming' just need to be the focus of what you are trying to create.
I say for beginners to think about the last multi they want to use, for example "Killing-Fakers" then base the rest of the multi's in the set-up on it.
That way you won't need to think of a multi to fit at the punchline, that way it won't be forced.
AS A BEGINNER i can't stress that enough, just so you learn the trade.. because in the long run you will want your set-ups connecting to your punchline, and your punchline to contain multiple multi's ect..

One step at a time though.
So Killing-Fakers (pretty much) rhymes with Hitting-Majors.. but because its not perfect it's a half rhyme, but that still works when you are saying it out loud, it still helps the flow of it.
Where as Killing-Fakers and Willing-Makers are pretty much perfect multiple syllable rhymes.

Just try not to force something so much that it doesn't make sense. I.e Killing-Fakers followed by Spilling-Brakers.. i mean it's still part of your verse even though it'd a technique, all parts of a verse need to make sense in one way or another.

It's not too complex if you think about it, but if you read and re-read this post (and Kultures) and then read it some more. The more times you read it to more it'll make sense.

Short explanations for some different ways to do metas.

metaphor
you say one thing is another. like if you said 'my style is gravity', that's a metaphor. your style = gravity.

allegory
metaphor with a full explanation. like if you continued your meta and said, 'my style is gravity, everybody fall because of it' this is an allegory.

symbol
symbol is a part of something that stands for the whole thing. like instead of saying like you smoke cess, you say you smoke puff. cos when you smoke cess, you breathe out the smoke, you puff. so puff = cess. or if you said 'my @@@@@s is the peel and you: straight slippin' that could mean peel = bananas = crazy and slippin = meet your downfall if you step to them.

metonymy
when you compare something by what it what happens when you do it. like when some people call freestyling spittin, that's a metonymy. talking = spittin (while you talk)

metalepsis
like a metonymy but even more intense. like if you said 'my spits drown your earsnares' then spits = words, drown = fill cos you're talking loud, and earsnares = eardrums cos snares are drums.

implication
you sort of say something without saying it directly, you imply it. like if you was to say 'me and my @@@@@s break bread together' you don't really mean real bread, you mean you divide up your money. but the way you say it, people know what you mean. so bread = money here.

personification
you make inanimate objects act like people. like when bounty killa says his gun bark and bite, he means his gun makes nuff noise when he bus off shots and the bite is when bullets lick people. bark = gunshot noise and bite = bullet wounds here.

antipersonification
is the opposite to personification. you make people act like inanimate objects. like if you said 'ya moms is a doorknob, she gives every @@@@@ a turn.' then mom = doorknob.

simile
when you say something is 'like' something or 'as' ... as something. if you said 'got honeys like sand on the beach' that's a simile, (lots of) girls = (lots of) sand on the beach

parable
when you compare the two different things in your simile. like if you said 'got honeys like sand on the beach, love to get tossed up, always in reach, grab a handful of fine brownskin tans, and when they get all wet they just stick to me, man.' that compares sand and your girls, cos it describes both.

quotation
is where you repeat something else someone said before you. like if you said 'common is right. i see the bytch in yoo too' that's a quotation.

colloquialisms
colloquialisms are slang words or phrases like 'get busy' or 'drop it like it's hot' or 'beat that face' that people use. you build on these when you're using metas and punchlines so it's good to know lots of them.

metallage
when you treat a colloquialism like a person. like if you said, 'i ain't tryin to hear yes yes y'all, i done robbed yes yes y'all and beat it down in the hall' that means yes y'all = played out

proverb
an old saying that you repeat. like when meth said 'i'm a simple man, still i'm never satisfied like the stones' that's called a dueling proverb cos you take two proverbs that are opposite to each other and put them against each other.

apologue
apologue is a fable, you talk about animals or inanimate objects like they're people. any of aesop's fables are good. so is ll cool j's 'milky cereal' from mama said knock you out.

hendiadys/2 for 1
use 2 nouns to describe a thing instead of just one. like if you said '@@@@@s bite my style like kibbles and bits, head out to cyphers and hold their quibbles and tiffs' that's a hendiadys. style biting = kibbles/bits (different types of dog food). and later, cyphering = quibbles/tiffs (different type of arguments)

hendiatris/3 for 1
is like hendiadys but using 3 nouns instead of 2. when eminem says 'i'm a cross between manson, esham, and ozzy' that's a hendiatris.

FLOW

First off I'm not the best around here by far, but here are a few things I did to help myself improve on flow.

BAR LENGTH

in most cases (not all), when your flowing you want to have all your bars similar in length. this way your rhyming words will be pretty much always landing in the same spot. but where you put your rhyming words is another topic I will touch apon later.

SYLLABLE COUNT

this is partially hand in hand with bar length. IF you count your syllables in each bar you want to have them around the same as well.. I usually stay around 12-15 syllables per line/bar.
Practice and you'll find a syllable count which your comfortable with.

BREATH CONTROL

this is a really important factor when doing audio. text not so much. but important none the less.. the previous sections are contributing to breath control as well.. you want to have a steady supply of air in your lungs almost at all times.. theres nothing worse than hearing someone gasp for breath in thier audio. you dont wanna be paced on one bar, then hafta rush the next to spit it out on time for the beat. (I've been guilty of this, I admit it)

basics of rhyming


Well, it's real simple.

If two words rhyme with "perfect" rhyme, the last accented vowel sound and all sounds after that are identical.

Example: Hit....Fit....Sit....lit.....


In assonace, just the vowel sound is important. The following consonant sounds don't have to be the same as in perfect rhyme.


Example: Trip, Fish, List, Rim....the short "i" sound


ugh...just play around with it

flow techniques

It has nothing to do with the actual lyrics or text on a song. Most rap songs are in 4/4 time. A basic drum beat goes like this: Kick - Snare - Kick - Snare. So it has 4 beats (2 kicks, 2 snares) now sometimes drum beats have more kicks and snares but the basic pattern is still the same.

You often see musicians stomping their foot along right when their playing live? Theyre counting the beats.

4 beats = 1 bar. In 4/4 time, a bar has 4 beats so 16 bars of music in 4/4 would be 64 beats.

For people who really don't know what kicks and snares are, a kick is that booming drum you hear with alot of deep end and a snare is like the cracking crisp drum after it - or the snare could be replaced by a clap. boom boom bap boom be-boom bap.
