Pretty much every song I look through from Relapse/Recovery type stuff has a ridiculous amount of internal rhymes, much more than I picked up on while listening. And he seems to do it pretty effortlessly. These are just the first 3 songs I looked at off of Recovery (other than Cold Wind Blows, which didn't seem as good).

All of the bolded words rhyme with other bolded words in the same line or bordering lines

Talkin 2 Myself
I went away I guess and opened up some lanes
But there was no one who even knew I was going through, growing pains
Hat
red was flowing through my veins, on the verge of going insane
I almost made a song dissing Lil Wayne
It's like I was jealous of him cause of the attention he was getting
I felt horrible about myself, he was spittin
And I wasn't, anyone who was buzzing back then coulda got it
Almost went at Kanye too, God it
Feels like I'm going psychotic, thank God that I didn't do it
I'da had my ass handed to me, and I knew it
But Proof isn't here to see me through it
I'm in the booth, popping another pill, tryna talk myself into it
Are you stupid? You're gon' start dissing people for no reason?
'specially when you can't even write a decent punchline even?
You're lying to yourself, you're slowly dying, you're denying your health
Is declining with your self-esteem, you're crying out for help

On Fire
Yesterday my dog died, I hog tied a ho, tied her in a bow
So the next time you blog try to spit a flow
You want to criticize, dog? Try a little more
I'm so tired of this I could blow, fire in the hole
I'm fired up so fire up the lighter and the dro
Better hold on a little tighter here I go
Flows tighter
, hot headed as Ghostrider
Cold
hearted as Spiderman throwing a spider in the snow
So
you better get lower than Flo-rida
Inside of a lowrider with no tires in the hole
Why am I like this? Why is winter cold?
Why is it when I talk I'm so biased to the hoes
Listen dog
, Christmas is off, this is as soft as it gets
This isn't golf this isa blistering assault
Those are your wounds this isthe salt, so get lost
shyt diss
ing me is just like pissing off the Wizard of Oz
Wrap
a lizard in gauze beat you in the jaws with it
Grab the scissors and saws and cut out your livers gizzards and balls
Throw you in the middle of the ocean in the blizzard with Jaws
So sip piss like sizzurp through a straw
Then describe how it tasted like dessert to us all
Got the gall to make Chris piss in his drawers
Tick
le him, go to his grave, skip him and visit his dog

Going Through Changes
I lock myself in the bedroom, bathroom, nappin' at noon,
Yeah dad's in a bad mood, he's always snappin' at you.
Marshall what happened that you, you can't stop with these pills,
And you've fallen off with your skills, and your own fans are laughin' at you.
It become a problem you're too p*ssy to tackle, get up,
Be a man, stand, a real man woulda had this shyt handled.
Know you just had your heart ripped out and crushed,
They say Proof just flipped out, homie just swift out and bust,
Nah, it ain't like Doody to do that,
He wouldn't fukkin' shoot at, no-body, he fights first,
But dwellin' on it only makes the night worse,
Now I'm poppin Vic's, perks and Methadone pills.
Yeah Em, tight verse, you killed it,
fukkin' drug dealers hang around me like "yes man",
And they gon' do whatever I says when, I says it,
It's in their best interest to protect their investment.
And I just lost my fukkin' best friend, so fukk it, I guess then..

this gota be the rhyme king lol
Lol I knew this post was going to come off that way. But it's not.

Someone on a another forum asked the question if Em is still lyrically inclined. I knew he could still write some decent multis and stuff, so I thought I would look through his recent lyrics and break it down a bit, and when I actually saw everything that rhymed I was like "damn" :ehh:
