The ability to hear individual sounds and determine their position in a word (at the beginning, middle, end) is of great importance when learning to read. With ease, children are given the selection of sounds at the beginning of a word, but when determining the sound at the end of words, the children have difficulty. Therefore, special attention should be paid to sounds and letters at the end of words. For this, children's poems, nursery rhymes and songs are suitable. Repeating them after an adult, the child first learns to recognize rhyming words in the text, and then find new rhymes. nine0003

“Merry Rhymes”
I took a pencil and paper and drew…….(snag).
On a path in the forest, I somehow met ....... (a fox).
Today at the entrance I met a cat, mustache and his tail - ....... (beauty)!
Yanochka began to yawn, come on quickly to ... ... .. (bed).

Happy Clown
Have your child draw a funny clown. You will use couplets to tell him what to draw. The child needs to finish the couplet in rhyme and draw the guessed part of the face. nine0007 We draw a clown, we start from……………. (head).
The clown brought us joy, he has a mop of……….(hair).
In order to listen to music, we draw a clown…………..(ears).
To be able to see us, let's draw a couple……….(eye).
The clown makes everyone laugh to tears, he has a huge ... ... ... .... (nose).
The clown amuses the people - cheerful to the ears ... ... ... .. (mouth).

"Cool rhymes"
Explain to the child the rules of the game: you say two words, and if they rhyme, then the child must raise two thumbs. nine0007 For example, DREAM-RING - two thumbs are raised, VETKA-CAR - hands are lowered. You can switch roles (the child comes up with rhymes, and the adult raises two thumbs).

"Rhymes in the room"
Name the objects in the room.
Try to come up with as many rhymes as possible for each word with the baby, for example: HAT - DAD, PAW; CARPET - BOBER, FIRE; WALL - WAVE, MOON. Rhymes can be not only real words, but also invented ones. nine0003

"Rhymed names"
Think of funny rhymes for the child's name, for example: Katya - Vatya, Batya, Datya, Matya, Latya.
Turning to the baby, call him a rhyming name, for example: Dad, it's time for dinner! Or: Matya, let's go for a walk!
If the child liked it, replace the names of family members and nicknames of pets with rhymes.

“Change the Sound”
Ask your child to come up with a word that rhymes with CAT and starts with R (ROT). Or rhymes with the word SUP and begins with the sound Z (TOoth). nine0007 When the baby is comfortable with the game, you can complicate the task. For example, ask your child to name a word that rhymes with BOW and begins with ST (KNOCK).

"Rhyming sentences"
You need to come up with a sentence with rhyming words.
Select two rhyming words (for example, DAD and HAT). Ask your child to come up with a sentence with these words. The sentence could be like this: Dad came home from work, he has a big hat.
It is easiest to choose rhymes for the names of numbers, for example: one is an orange, two is halva, three is bubbles, and so on. nine0003

How to compose lyrics? Practical advice from a songwriter to beginners in creativity. How to write a rap song

The main basis of rap is original, precise rhymes. A person who thinks about how to compose a rap should feel like an artist who paints the world around him with rhymes. Maybe the advice will sound trite, but there is only one answer to the question: “how to learn to compose rap”: success can be achieved by diligently choosing rhyming words as best as possible. nine0003

Learning to compose rap

Of course, every fan of rap music wants to learn how to read and compose lyrics that will be no worse than those of world stars. In rap, rhymes are quite complex, so the reading must take place in a certain rhythm and, most importantly, carry a meaning. When thinking about how to compose a rap, the text of which will not only have a perfect rhyme, but also a deep meaning, it is important to simply immerse yourself in your thoughts and then transfer them to paper. At first you will end up with something like:

Music should bring good, Remember, my friend! Do not spoil the blood, If you took the micro!

Then, we assure you, the texts will become much more complex and original.

How to learn to compose rap

Don't stop there. Choose words and tame them with rhymes.

It is the rhymes that make it possible to force the crowd to admire the reciter-rapper. It is rhymes that are the basis of the whole performance. Rhymes can be exact and inexact. In rap, inexact rhymes are mainly used:

We are all born into this world, Years are stretched for a whole century. Every person will be important for life, People, let's shout together: "No to war!"

It is not necessary to place each rhyme at the end of the line, they can be either of a certain length or placed in a certain order. Some of the most common types of rhymes adopted in hip hop do not rhyme completely.

Hip-hop innovators find exact rhymes too restrictive, so in rap the type of rhyme where all the sounds after the final stress are the same is not often seen. When thinking about how to compose a rap, know that direct rhymes are not necessary. nine0003

Rappers use imprecise rhymes, which gives more freedom for creative expression. Examples of inaccurate rhymes: plantain - on purpose, good - powder, booth - a boy.

How to write a rap - the text matters

With this method of composing the text, the exact rhyme is replaced by an "almost" rhyme, using it to complete the line.

First, try to put into rhymes any words that come to mind. You can turn on the metronome or any beat, the main thing is not to rush. It is not easy to read quickly, but it also comes with experience. In the beginning, the meaning doesn't really matter, just rhyme. When you can compose texts almost without thinking, complicate the task. nine0003

When you have already figured out how to learn how to rap correctly, try to rap with meaning. And do not forget, of course, about the beat.

How to compose a rap - text + bar

Gradually, writing lyrics will become an easier task for you. The next stage is the combination of tact, meaning, rhyme into one, unified whole. It is better to start with simple rhymes, when there is only one rhyming word located at the end of the line in a line. Such rhymes are often used by freestylers, because, thanks to the simplicity of the rhyme, there is always time to think and find the right word. nine0003

The more practice you have, the more complex the rhymes and the more varied the texts will become. The most successful texts of famous rappers are distinguished by figurativeness and unsurpassed energy.

As you improve, all this will come to you. When you start experimenting with more complex rhymes, you will notice that more than one syllable rhymes in them and it is much more difficult to compose texts because of this. However, the result is worth it: such rhymes bring originality and diversity to the text, improve the overall quality of the text. If you got something like:

The main thing is not to be late, the main thing is to know in time

The main thing is not to slow down on the move - get it,

The main thing is to say a few words that weigh,

The main thing is that over the years it comes in this cramped world,

You understand I hope what this song is about. ..

So, you can definitely be called a promising rap writer.

The basis of rap are rhymes, and MC is an artist who paints with rhymes, a poet who creates texts. It may seem too obvious to some, but one of the best ways to succeed as an MC is to be better at picking words that rhyme. As Rakim says in "I Know You Got Soul"

I start to think and then I sink
into the paper like I was ink ,
when I'm writing I'm trapped in between the line,
I escape when I finish the rhyme

Reread this rap text . This is the real and best definition of what it means to be a rapper. . The rapper plunges into his thoughts, transfers them to paper, picks up words, but they hold him like a lattice in a cage until he tames them with rhymes. Precisely rhymes gives freedom to the MC and gives him control over rap. It's the rhymes that give MCs the power to shake the mic and get the crowd jumping up and down excitedly. It is rhymes that form the basis of the rapper's performance.

However, as Rakim demonstrated, we are not talking about "Hickory Dickory Dock. In rap, not every rhyme has to be at the end of a line. Rhymes do not have to be in any particular order or be a particular length. In fact, some of the most common types of hip-hop rhymes don't rhyme at all. Such rhymes are called inexact rhymes (slant rhymes)

Imprecise rhymes vs. exact rhymes

Here are some dictionary definitions (Short dictionary of literary terms)

Exact rhyme - type of rhyme, where all the sounds after the final stress coincide. Examples: guard - plantain, breeders - thugs.

This is what most people understand by rhymes. Examples of exact rhymes: cat, hat, bat; cake, bake, fake. Exactly rhyming words can have mismatched letters because it's all about sounds. For example: great, late; height, fight; bought, knot. These are all exact rhymes. The words do not have to be the same length. For example: rider, beside her; dutiful, unbeautiful. These are all examples of exact rhymes.

Exact rhymes work great in many situations. But hip hop innovators (ah poets before them) consider them too restrictive. Rappers began to use imprecise rhymes, giving them more freedom to express themselves. Here is the definition of inexact rhyme from the dictionary. nine0003

Inaccurate rhyme - a rhyme with a mismatch of one or more consonants at the end of the verse. Examples: good - powder, plantain - on purpose, booth - a boy.

In general, one can consider an inaccurate rhyme "almost » rhyme. Examples are: heat , heart ; cow , no ; dry , died ; love , fluff . Inexact rhymes are words that sound roughly the same but don't rhyme perfectly. In Rakim's line above, he rhymes "rhyme » with the word «line ." These words don't really rhyme with each other. "Rhyme "rhymes well with" time , dime, mime, I'm, and crime." "Line rhymes with mine , pine, whine, and tine." But these two words sound about the same. So Rakim uses an inaccurate rhyme to end the line. nine0003

When an inexact rhyme must be used in a rap text is mandatory

Where should I use imprecise rhymes? Anywhere. But, in some cases, inexact rhyme must be used.

1. The word has no exact rhyme

There are many words in the English language that do not have exact rhymes. Here are some of them: silver, purple, month, angst, sixth, breadth, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, monster, dangerous, marathon, napkin, hostage, discombobulate nine0164 And many, many other words. When writing poetry, sometimes you need to rhyme one of these words, but it doesn’t work. As long as the imprecise rhyme is not applied. That's what Nas does in NY State of Mind." He uses the word "dangerous" ," which doesn't have an exact rhyme but finds a way to fit it into the verse:

I got so many rhymes I don't think I'm too sane,
Life is parallel to Hell but I must maintain,
And be prosperous though we live dangerous,
Cops could just arrest me blaming us ,
we're held like
hostages

He approximately rhymes "prosperous , dangerous, blaming us," hostages , to express your thoughts. The verse didn't get worse.

2. Avoid hackneyed rhymes in rap

Another case when you need to use imprecise rhymes is when you are dealing with a frequently repeated, hackneyed rhyme. For example, how many times have you heard the rhyme of the word "knowledge » with the word «college ." Heck! People abuse this rhyme in the same way that a slovenly businessman pours too much cologne on himself. To avoid this, one has to resort to imprecise rhyme. nine0003

Knowledge - mall kids, honest, ballas, taller, Paul Wall did, on it, admonish, cabbage.

The great thing about inaccurate rhymes is that they help MCs avoid the most dangerous newbie trap: too obvious rhymes. If the listener can easily guess the words before the MC says them, that's almost always a bad thing. In general, this means that the MC is not inventive enough, but simply repeats old boring rhymes. In order not to fall into this trap, it is worth using inaccurate rhymes. For example, instead of rhyming "money » with «funny » you can try the inaccurate rhyme gin rummy, Sunday,
dummy, crumbly, Tony, blunt be, hunt me, some tea, plenty.

Example. From Tupac Amaru's text "Changes »

I see no changes
wake up in the morning and I ask myself,
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm
black ,
my stomach hurts so I'm
lookin' for a purse to
snatch ,
cops give a damn about a negro,
pull the trigger kill a ni**a he's a hero

Tupac Changes »

I don't see any change, waking up in the morning I ask myself: Is life worth living, or is it better to lay hands on yourself? I'm tired of being poor, and worst of all, I'm black, My stomach is empty and I have to steal spades. Cops curse blacks: Pull the trigger, kill the black, and you are a hero!

Some performers use inexact rhymes in every line, but they have such a manner of reading and they pronounce the words in such a way that the listeners do not notice the awkwardness. Look at Tupac Amaru's verses "Changes . " It rhymes "ask » with «blast ,""black »snatch ," and "negro » with «hero ." Such a rhyme gives him more freedom to express his thoughts (at more words to choose from) which makes his lines fresh and creative. nine0003

Rap as a genre does not imply "white verse" in its text, the lines must obey a certain internal structure and a certain rhyme. If you approach from the “literary” side of the issue, then rap, according to its scheme of adding rhyming lines, is considered an accent verse. It is worth looking into literary theory - what is it, especially if you are an aspiring rapper. Among other things, you need to be able to compose such texts so that they fit a given musical style. The content of the tracks must be complete and appropriate to the style of the genre. This is the minimum for how to learn to write rap. Of course, you still need some inspiration. nine0003

In order for inspiration to still visit you, you need to tune in to a suitable "wave" - ​​lyrical or harder. You also need to make sure that no one will distract you, and no one will interfere. Of course, before you start writing rap, you need to decide what the topic of your text will be about. Your idea should be filled with meaning, which should be traced in all lines of text. The semantic load of the future song should be decorated with rhymes. First, you can make a series of sketches of non-rhyming lines, and then change them to a poetic version. nine0003

Creation of rap - rhymes

In how to write rap correctly, the main role is assigned, nevertheless, to rhymes. It is desirable to create text with an equal number of syllables in each of the lines. You also need to follow the rules:

  • If the first line has 8 syllables, then the following lines should also have the same number of lines. It is worth remembering that the number of vowels is equal to the number of syllables.
  • After that, you need to proceed directly to rhyming. To do this, you need to know the main types and rhyme schemes, and use the ones that you like the most. And the best thing is to practice and create texts with different rhymes. To do this, of course, it is worth knowing how. Write rap - the text is best using one rhyme. nine0328
  • The most popular rhyming scheme is adjoining. In this case, the first line will rhyme with the second line, the second line with the third, and so on. Graphically, the circuit is depicted as "AABB".
  • The second type of rhyme is cross. In this case, the first line rhymes with the third, and the second with the fourth. Schematically, this is "ABAB", i.e. lines that rhyme with each other intersect.
  • Another type of rhyme is ring rhyme. In this case, the first line will rhyme with the fourth line, and the second line with the third. Those. rhyming lines seem to form a kind of ring. Schematically, this is "ABBA". nine0328
  • The last type of rhyme is woven. It is considered the most complex, and therefore very diverse. Many rhyming options can be allowed here, for example, the first line can rhyme with the fourth, the second line with the sixth, the third line with the fifth, etc.
  • You also need to know the existing types of rhymes. They are accurate - then all the sounds that stand after the stress coincide. And also they are inaccurate - then such a coincidence does not occur.

Building a rap text

You also need to know how to write rap lyrics, namely to keep the theme. You need to follow the content, because. the meaning of the lyrics of the song should be clear to the listeners in the first place. It is also worth following a number of tips:

In order to get an interesting text, you should avoid obvious rhymes. It is advisable to select complex and unusual rhymes, although you will spend a lot of effort on this. But the end result will reward you in full.

  • Also, do not forget about additional expressive means. Use comparisons, metaphors - this will only make your text better and brighter. The text, in which there will be comparisons and figurative meaning, will be interesting to listen to. You can also use comparisons without fear. This will especially help in how to write touching rap, lyrics. nine0328
  • But at the same time, you need to include specifics in your text. If a certain event or person is mentioned, then it is better to name them specifically. Such inserts will only bring your text closer to reality, and it will become closer to the listeners.
  • Be sure to follow the rhythm. It should be tapped in parallel with your hand, like a tap dance. It must be remembered that between the stressed syllables of each line, a similar number of unstressed syllables must be made. In this case, the text will sound rhythmically and evenly.
  • nine0327 There are no hard and fast rules regarding the chorus, as it depends more on the music. It may even be one word, or there may not be a chorus at all. But in many cases, the chorus consists of four or eight lines.

Now you know everything about how to write rap lyrics correctly. This will allow you to delve into this art and, perhaps, become famous one day. Everything depends not only on talent, but also on desire, so you should strive for heights. We wish you good luck and creative success! nine0003

How to write a rap lyrics, you can scribble a whole job! In principle, it is roughly possible to divide the text into 2 components: rhyme and meaning, i.e. what the text is about. Both that, and another, are important approximately equally, it is impossible to neglect a rhyme in the name of sense and vice versa. But in principle, if you go to extremes, you can make really strong texts, but weakly (from the point of view of the method described by me below) rhymed. An example of this is Pencil. Weak in rhyme of the text, but great plots, good presentation - it listens excellently! But still, a text for 10 points without a 10-point rhyme will not work. If we take the minimum (and this is the most basic), then the rhymes themselves, rhymed words, must meet some requirements. Still, the rap text is a kind of verse, and the center of the verse is a rhyme. Those. it is on her that the emphasis is, as a rule, the author rhymes exactly the most important word in the line ... I am not a journalist, so I can’t explain it on my fingers, I can only give a link to V.V. Mayakovsky - read his article "How to make poetry" - I have not yet read something that more accurately describes this moment. In the same article, I will try to briefly retell Mayakovsky, supplementing it with some illustrative examples. nine0003

So let's go! I'll start with how you can't rhyme. In one fell swoop, we remove all the "same" words: single-rooted (thoughts - meaning, briefly - in a timely manner, went - found, etc.), verbs (take - give, was - bought, said - showed), nouns of the same form (idiot - garden - whirlpool, attitude - opinion, couplets - newspapers - toilets, answer - nonsense, etc. I think the idea is clear), the same adjectives (original - vaginal - regional, golden - mine - blue) - in short, all the words that rhyme too obviously + a huge list of zadrochennyh rhymes that have been used more than once and everyone is already tired. There are a bunch of such rhymes, you can’t sort through all of them, only through the experience of reading other people’s texts can you outline this circle for yourself. I bring a couple of the most fucked up rows, these rhymes should never be used

message - flattery - climb - revenge - six - wool, etc.

blood - love - carrots - again, etc. (in principle, these words are the same feminine nouns, i.e. I already wrote about such words)

meeting - evening - nothing

prose - rose - rods - air

autumn - eight

legs - many - miserable - God - lair - anxiety

So, that means they cut it all off and now we rhyme "according to the rules" We take the word that must be rhymed. Let's say "lime". And we begin mentally (or aloud, as it is more convenient for anyone) to say this word "lime", to say words similar to it, there, for example, baseness, from the outside, a ghost, recognized, Lisa, etc. - i.e. immediately a series of words pops up. Choose what fits - and go! The main idea is to surprise the listener with a rhyme; for example, at the end of the line is the word "dummy" and the listener expects to hear something like "cormorant", "glass", "trap", etc. at the end of the second line, and you put the word "rumor". Or the word "dimensions". We find the stressed syllable - "-rits" - and let's go, we rhyme it: sugary, soaked. In short, I explained as best I could, but it's better to find Mayakovsky's article - the same thing is painted there, but better

Everyone figured out exactly what to rhyme with. Let's move on to the structure of the text, how these rhymes should be arranged. Of course, you can rhyme 2 adjacent lines to yourself with the last word and not worry (the so-called "square" construction of the text. BUT for this you need to read like Kool G Rap or Big Daddy Kane so that this drawback is not evident. Therefore, it is necessary that the text sounded varied: from a simple rhyming of 2 lines to the last word

a serious type, because he himself earned money for sneakers,
though no, rather stole it somewhere in the supermarket...
what I list is just a pitiful minimum,
in the repertoire of the city of my native hymn golem

put a rhyme through a word

like in a soup a cook put a bay leaf on top of a bit talking,
and while you’ve cooked up a decent text with sweat in a day. ....

rhyme a few words in a row

middle of Little Italy little did we know
that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily (Big Pun "Twins")

double rhyme from the pressure of the door to bend ...

at the same time twice in a row juicy ditch
opponents in battles rapartage dot, people dot ru

And every year I gain clout and my name sprouts
Some brothers "d still be large if the crack never came out (Big L "Put It On")

In general, I must say that US rappers have a double rhyme - generally the most common: it is quite simple to make it, but it sounds beautiful. nine0159 I "m urgin to put the glock up and clap rounds
It" s curtains like Jimmy Hoffa, he not found (Redman "Soopaman Luva 5 (Part I)")

My sound wave liftin" your chin up like uppercuts
New found ways of rippin "shit up, I de-ve-lop (Black Thought, Big Pun album "Capital Punishment", track "Super Lyrycal")

, and with two or even several:

Goustrida quick-shooter,
Arrows at the ready soon. .. (Ghostrida, Moscow)

This contract is unique, no matter how many verses you forge at night, my rhymes act like Kadochnikov's tricks. This is not a rhyme, these are just consonant words, usually with many of the same consonants, but with different stressed vowels.

For example, "warrior squads to fight" with a guy "mi ala barbie, fana" tami a "renbi"
- as you can see, half of the words do not rhyme, they are simply consonant in the general flow of syllables. Sounds nice to me. nine0159 They also make tautological consonances, when, in addition to rhyming words, the same-rooted words are obviously stuffed:

the whole world is filled with bass and beat,
I am saturated with rhythm and rhymes, every atom is saturated with them

KRS-One does such things very often, here for example, from the track "When The Moon":

Your lightweight, I devisate on the equal races
No I "m not a racist, but no race could really face this

That, in principle, is all. You can talk about this topic write forever, as I said, but it doesn’t make much sense - I showed the main points, the rest is learned in the process. Deck (Wu-Tang), Big-L (RIP), Big Pun (RIP) and many others From Russians - no doubt Vladi (and the whole Caste + Snake from the Faces), then Gee Wilks (Big Black Boots) , Drago, Steam, Sevzkvad, etc. The main thing is not to overdo it with rhyme for the sake of rhyme. e rhyme, the more difficult the text for perception, so you need to look for a middle ground, and not tear your ass in the selection of words for the sake of a full-line rhyme. When I listen to, for example, Sevzkvad, I don't like it - a bunch of identical words, generally a continuous rhyme, but the meaning is not clear. Some people like it, I don’t argue, but I don’t perceive it -. nine0003

Also, I would advise only in the most extreme cases to adjust the phrase "to rhyme", i.e. it is somehow unnatural to change the order of words, to force a sentence. Such techniques cut the ears very much, make it difficult to perceive the meaning and generally look unprofessional. Try to build a phrase as close as possible to colloquial speech (but not quite, don’t shove swear words and all sorts of household phrases all the time. Although storytelling in this style is just fat) - it looks simple, but brilliant

Another such moment - I would advise sacrifice rhyme for diction! Quite often it turns out to be beautifully twirled on paper, but then it’s incredible to play it out loud to the beat, here preference should not be given in favor of rhyme, because people hear the track, and do not read the text from the paper, so it’s better to simplify and say it clearly than just screw it up. nine0003

The word "rap" in English means "hit", "knock", as well as - "talk", "talk". It appeared in the early 80s and became very popular. It differs from others in its rhythm and music with a heavy beat. Back in the old days, the younger generation was worried about the question that everyone was trying to do something new, not like other works.

Today there are special lessons that will tell those who wish how to compose rap. To begin with, it is worth writing a decent text and studying the existing rhyme schemes (there are four in total). But in the modern world, only two are mainly used. One of them is quite simple - the first line of the quatrain should rhyme with the second, respectively, the third with the fourth, and so on. The second line is a little more complicated - the first line should rhyme with the third, and the second with the fourth. In most cases, the first scheme is used. The second, as a rule, is used in choruses. After the scheme is selected, you need to decide on the rhymes. But how to compose rap without knowing what it is and what it is of several types: exact, inaccurate, double, triple and complex. Under the exact understand the words that have the same endings (they are also called "squares" and are not in demand). Inaccurate words are words that have different endings but are similar in sound. This type of rhyme is quite common and easy, that is, you will not surprise anyone with this. As for the complex ones, one name says that it’s worth “sweating” over this. These include double, triple rhymes, and phrases that rhyme on more than one syllable. Don't worry if there are some inaccuracies in the rhyme. The main thing is that you understand the principle, and then the process will begin. nine0003

You can learn how to compose rap in special books and master classes, you can hire a tutor. Well, in general, the main thing is that for a start you have a good mood and inspiration. Grab a notepad, grab a tape recorder, and start sketching out your idea on paper. Find a quiet place where no one will distract you from creativity, recharge your batteries with your favorite music or a pleasant activity. It is recommended to start by creating your own minus, under which words and rhymes will go by themselves. After listening to your favorite performers, do not rewrite their creations in your own way, it will look like plagiarism. Get inspired and, listening to the minus, create your own rap.
