straight up i learned how to write raps by mimicking Cam's rhyme schemes. It's actually easy to comprehend and try to follow suit with if you try it. They're some of the most iconic schemes in hip hop imo though, nothing beats how he showcased them on the Purple Haze intro

kind of hard to explain unless you know about standard rhythmic notation. His rhyme scheme is all about cramming as many of a specific 4 syllable multi into a verse as possible, and that multi kind of sounds like a rhythm like "tri-pl-et-one" with a swing on the one but it's not a triplet it's actually 4 16th notes in a single beat.

Take the intro I mentioned "two zero four, SE-VEN-TY-SIX, they WI-RED-MY-MOMS, couple weeks PRI-OR-TO-JA, must've been the year of MUR-DUR-OURS-KILL-ers..." Etc.

Just try to be able to mimic the rhythm alone by going "duh-duh-duh-dah" n all that then once you got a feeling for how it works, you can focus on putting specific syllable/sound orders in those four syllables and rhyme as much you can.

A good tip is that the most accented rhymes in the four syllables are the first and last ones. So those are the ones that you should focus on the most

Hold this dap n pending +rep.:salute:
