Rapping, deconstructed: The best rhymers of all time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2016
- Here's how some of the greatest rappers make rhymes.
From the simple nursery rhyme-like bars of Kurtis Blow's "The Breaks" to the smooth East Coast flow of Notorious B.I.G.'s hit song "Hypnotize" to the speedy delivery of Kendrick Lamar's "Rigamortis," rhyming in rap music has not only evolved, it's gotten better.
The video above explores how some of the greatest rappers of all time create memorable, lyrically dense rhymes.
And here's a playlist highlighting songs that are prime examples of how great rhyming in rap can be: open.spotify.com/user/estelle...

This is a dissertation for a degree on Rap Masters. What a masterpiece, wouldn't have mind 20 more minutes or a whole hour of this.
Facts I would of watch a whole documentary😂🔥 alotta knowledge
One of my uni profs actually wrote his PhD thesis on the linguistics of Tupac’s rap, Dr. Steven Gilbers. While I’m not a big enjoyer of linguistics as a study field, his research is really cool.
they forgot about the Canibus’s masterpiece
ong does anyone know anyone who is making in-depth deconstruction snog rhymes like this video?

I like to think of rap as an acronym for “Rhythm Assisted Poetry”.
Thought I should share that, ‘cause lyricism is beautiful. It can tell stories in amazing ways.
I’ve heard a lot of people say “Rythm And Poetry”
Nice
Poems naturally have rhythm.
I'm a music teacher and I'm studying Rap music with my 7th grade students, and I'm definitely going to use that concept. Thank you very much!
The real word is HIP HOP

Remember when Ben shapiro said that rap isn't real music?
It’s not even when, he still believes it
@@juandavidrestrepoduran6007 This is not it. His views on rap are influenced by him being socially conservative. Those were probable influenced by the fact that he is deeply committed to his religion but still have no base in judaism or him being descended from ethnic jews. Please search up jewish musicians if you want examples of people who defy this stereotype.
@@trevorjohnson6287 b r u h. He was JOKING!
@@cokguzeladam So why did he need to insult jewish people? He could have just said, Well ben isn't exactly creative or talented so it makes sense that he wouldn't appreciate it

Biggie's Hypnotize is the smoothest song ever. The first time I ever heard that song, I was like I have to byheart this lyrics right now and keep it in my mind forvever just to mumble whenever I can. Lol

bruh im honestly so surprised why english teachers don't make it part of the curriculum to learn about Rap/ Hip Hop. Rapper's use of the language is so amazing. It's just another form of poetic technique.
@@MrThiry i find that unacceptable considering we read a lot of explicit books. But i’m not surprised tho
The most underrated convo on UA-cam about this subject... Respek to both !!
My teacher did this!!! We listened to Lauryn Hill, the Fugees and lupe fiasco in class for weeks pointing out the different rhyme schemes and aspects of poetry they used in their raps it was really fun
I was extremely lucky, my teacher played Tupac Changes for our class (around 2013/14) as a demonstration of how rap and poetry can be one and the same
I'm currently watching this video for English class :D
Still love this video in 2024. Y'all broke this down so well and helped me discover new music in the process

"When Kendrick goes into his 4th gear, ..."
I understood that.
Wait is this Luffy's fourth gear you're taking about?
i mean i'd certailny hope so, since it's normal language
Kendrick must be a swimmer.
Its just a normal phrase. One Piece stole it from the normal phrase. Barely anyone watched One Piece in the States to actually reference it.

This made me love and admire hip-hop/rap culture even more. Perfectly put together, thanks a lot!
Next time someone says hip-hop is easy, or a talentless genre, pass them the link to this video. Man, great stuff.
Lyricology 101 Thats great! Just off the top of my head (of which I imagine there are some that you have done) I would love to see Nas, Busta Rhymes and Slick Rick, those would be great!
I feel like they are most likely talking about modern rap, because most modern hip-hop songs sound similar. (atleast to me)
This is rap not hiphop.

Your the best and coolest English teacher of all time man love teachers that acknowledge real rap and have more in common with their students like that keep it up 🙏🏽
People used to say it isn't music.... Its poetry, its art. Hip hop is special as it has these amazing aspects about it
Me too. An English teacher. I always show my students rhymes in poems & make'em listen to Tech 9 or Eminem. LOL
The best part is you didn't confuse rap (one aspect of Hip Hop) and call Hip Hop a "music genre" which it isn't.. It's a culture.

Exactly. Tupac didn't need technical skills. His raw emotions is greater than all that.
Learning literary theory and how to critique poetry is this. Deconstructing language to its most finite units, parsing one technique from another and seeing how each word is intentionally working to create the overall. Experience for the reader. Great job vox

Andre 3000's verse on aquemeni had the rap world shook. There's a reason nobody's dissed him.
Except Key & Peele. Their Andre 3000 sketch had me dying
Show ya right
Kendrick actually called him out on Control
@@neurologicalstyle1763 he didn't diss him, but gave him props. Kendrick's whole style is influenced by Andre 3k
@@neurologicalstyle1763 wait I saw a video of Kendrick and Andre in the booth during swimming pools recording
7:55 it’s “motif” [pronounced: mōˈtēf]. Motive and motif might sound like very similar words but the difference lies in their definitions. The word “motive” is defined as, “a reason for doing something, especially one that is hidden or not obvious.” While in western music theory, the word “motif” means, “a short succession of notes producing a single impression; a brief melodic or rhythmic formula out of which longer passages are developed.” The difference between those two words may seem minuscule, but when informing/educating people about musical terminology or terminology in general, spelling and pronunciation is a very important.
Western music theory aside, Kendrick’s flow is amongst the illest of today’s generation and music theory had nothing to do with it. Nuff said.
"Motive" is often used interchangeably with "motif", at least in contemporary musical terminology. The use of the word in this video is not incorrect.
I think the intention and modern use is the same, but as a music nerd this bothered me as well hahah
@@comradedoggo3744 Sorry genius, the use of motive instead of motif in this video isn't not incorrect (aka incorrect). Using the correct word is a tenant of effective communication. Perhaps that previous sentence is also "not incorrect" simply because most people can't even see the problem with it?
@@ChoiceOfIllusion looool a tenant or a tenet?

Holy hell, you're here? Well that's interesting.
Radu Antoniu Sameee!! 😂❤️❤️
Radu Antoniu totally agree. I love the way they used old tape recorders when tracks are played...maybe only visual designers look at such stuff
If ya keep noddin your head and breakin your neck you realize that the beat is kept throughout the video. That's great editing and even track choice as well
same here!
There's a line in the first verse of MF DOOM's track "Beef Rapp" that encapsulates everything I love about rappers who create complex rhyming patterns in their songs. It goes like this:
Whether it is animal, vegetable, or mineral
It's a miracle how he get so lyrical
And proceed to move the crowd like a old Negro spiritual
Not only is MF DOOM talking about how he's a great rhymer, he's showing you.
REST IN POWER VILLAIN

Rap is poetry in its best form.
Saying rap takes no effort is like saying poetry takes no effort. Try writing an actually good poem or rap song.. show me what's up

P: poetry
You could search my name i write all forms of poetry and lyrical content will be glad to leave info

saying rap is poetry in its best form without any explanation besides "try writing one yourself" isn't a good argument.
kinshaw there are many albums out there that make all the argument needed.
You are AWESOME and your knowledge of hip-hop is very deep and that is very impressive. Keep up the great content
I've seen this 3 times already and most likely watch it again...love theses videos.
They should turn this into a mini-series. Maybe focusing on time periods or certain rappers?
Yes, it would be enjoyable to watch rap with different styles/ flows/ subject matter/ mastery of the English language while displaying pride in their craft slowly rot into retarded/ same subject matter/ special education flows, mastery of the same 320 words, while ducking the rest of the English language, talkin' bout they 'Rappers', while the currently skilled real rappers don't get proper shine because they think before they talk. That would be awesome to watch.
I would pay to watch an episode just on Aesop Rock

I think he's under-appreciated in a commercial sense. He's influential and turns up on lists from people who really dig into rap, but he's not a household name like Biggy, Tupac or Jay-Z.

This is literally poetry. This is exactly what I, as a literature student, analyze when studying a poem going back to ancient Greece poetic manifestations (we know poems were sang). Music and poetry merging together and Rap is just our modern manifestation; incredible.
Not quite, it isn't, it's something else.
The rhyming is great, but very few rappers are in the same league as top poets when it comes to content. Granted, there's so much bad poetry out there as well as so many mediocre rappers, but if you think, for example, that Eminem's or Masta Ace's storytelling is good enough to compare with poets, you probably need to read better poetry.

This video is great. I love the way it breaks it down with the color format and tell what it is theyre doing. I do have to say though, you could have made an entire video on Em alone. What he does with words and sentences is like no other. Like, he bends the words around to rhyme with other words that normally would not work. And when you mentioned Holorime near the end, Em does that ALL the time. Its mind blowing that he can do what he does. They're all amazing though. Great vid.

+Sir_Clovis you shouldn't base your appreciation of music on technicality
respect is different from appreciation, i'm still not really a fan of the genre but i can respect the artists who put this level of thought and complexity into their work.
+Sir_Clovis Judging anything off of face value is usually a bad idea.

You guys are absolutely killing it. 👌
+Austin Evans Woah didn't expect to see you here :O

+Austin Evans just don't, don't comment just because you're a popular youtuber adding your basic opinion adding nothing, you tech youtubers do it all the time
+Anthony Sedore Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.
