I love Pac as a lyricist, I don't think he gets enough credit definitely but I rate Nas as one of the best lyricists though. I know Pac was extremely intelligent and had a great vocab but did he use that consistently in his music?
I don't find Nas' rhymes predictable, I don't know what he's gonna say sometimes, I think he uses obscure words and different rhymes.
so im going to assume u know what a rhyme pattern is
ok nas uses the abab format for his rhyme schemes most of the time
and yes pac did have alot of rhymes in all of his verses he ever spit
Why ex
plain the
game? nikkas
ain't listenin.
Stuck in positions. If victims can't stand the heat,
Then stay the
fukk out the kitchen.
Have these
bustas switchin, lookin at me mean.
Itchin, givin suckas plenty space.
Have these bytch nikkas snitchin.
Where are we now? Guns found
daily.
The feds surely hope that
they could finally nail me for sellin dope.
They
backwards, make
tracks burst whenever I rap.
Attack. Words bein known to explode on contact.
Extreme at times. Blinded by my
passion and fury.
Look at me laugh at my competition's
flashin my jewelry.
You'd stay silent if you nikkas
knew me. Truely effective.
The shyt you heard ain't do me justice. Got a
death wish, bytch.
Run up, face me and trace
wit an infared beam.
It seems nikkas ain't recognize my team.
Ain't
nobody holdin you back. Explode the track to confetti.
Un
load it. Cuz nikkas ain't ready. The life of an outlaw.
as u can see the multisyllable rhymes
plain rhymes with game and games rhymes with ain't not perfectly
but it works in pac's accent
so i would mark those rhymes as aaa those are internal rhymes
then he uses two multisyllable rhyme scheme setups
with these two lines
Stuck in positions.
fukk out the kitchen.
stuck rhymes with fukk and sit rhymes kitch so i would mark those down as bcbc
so the rhyme scheme in those three lines looks like this aaabcbc
that is a complex rhyme scheme and a different pattern then nas shyt imo
to me nas don't have a more complex patternn then that
