That shyt that make you banderas in real lifeWhat about when rappers literally "split" words in 2. Andre 300 and Eminem does this alot.
Matter fact Stacks did it on that Outro joint:
Pulled her ponytail to my body/
She's the only gal that was smart e/
nough to call me Mr. Benjamin, in the middle of a wild party
He split the word "enough" at the end of the bar and carried it over to the beginning of the next bar. I love when rappers do that
Ima make a thread on that too soon
That's Nas circa 1996.Roosevelt/ no seat belt
Nice
That's you?
It Was Written is full of lyrical fukkery like that.
That would matter if they were URL battlers, but they make music breh.Lets just focus on Nas...lets not shyt on one rapper to big up the other.
because real talk...put Em and Nas in a URL battle tommorow.....i got my money on Em

Eminem is an overrated battle rapper. Even in his prime, not seeing the current battle rappers that's out now
Nas doesn't really battle rap, so Eminem would win by default. So you're not really saying much

Yeah nas is heavy on inverted, slant, and multisyllabic rhyme schemes.
The fact that he does this with vivid imagery and well paced stories puts him at an elite level for lyricism. He can go toe to toe with anyone in any genre

Compound spiral rhyming
This section of Ignorant shyt verse two is insane for what you're describing @PhonZhi:
"And with that said, I will kill nikkas dead
Cut nikkas short, give you wheels for legs
I'm a K-I-double-L-E-R
See y'all in Hell, shoot nikkas straight through the E.R
Whoa! This ain't B.R., no
This S.C. CEO, the next Lyor, no
The next leader of the whole free world
And the first thing I'mma do is free Sigel, go"

I am saying much. I just said Em would spank Nas in a rap battle and you agreed.

i speak facts not emotions
Here's one that really had me like
when I first heard it
Take the weight of the world on my shoulders...I hold it/
So I consume most the pain for my nikkaz I roll wit/
Cuz see the streets ain't no Gold's Gym/
papi, and if I feel it going down then my nikkaz'll spot me
On this one he says "golds gym" at the end of the bar, making the listener anticipate the ending of the next bar to end with the "gym" sound. But instead he puts "papi" at the beginning of the bar and rhymes it with "spot me". Had me confused first few times I listened and had to go back and rewind to make sense of it
it's called unconventional rhyming rhyming don't have to be standard like dudes rhyme stuff imperfectly in terms of assonance rhyming not just putting rhymes
at the end of the bar or even the middle of the bar or even rhyming consective lines etc.

I call those "fist of the north star" bars...They have content AND structure that hits you later. By the time you're hip to the subtlety...something else crazy is happening in the verse. That's why they're both in my top 3.
