Isn't it just the same amount of syllables on each line?

With syllable matching try not to over think it. Don't be all like, "MUST MATCH SYLLABLES" It should come naturally.

I think beginners should focus on it, it'll help them structure a basic flow and structure at least (I'm not calling Sam a beginner btw).

I know, I just mean if your someone who raps a lot it should start to come naturally.

I have by now developed a way by which I make sure that I'm using Multis that give you the same sound when you try to flow over it,this sometimes disturbs the Count a little. I'm Still Alive ~ is a prime Example of that(Geno mentioned this point).

Liable
&
I'm a bull

Syllibically, they match - they're both 3 syllables long. One of those rhymes has one word with 3 syllables meanwhile the other has three individual monosyllabic words composed to make a multi with the previous word.

Uhh...yee

li·a·ble
I'm·a·bull

Right ?

what I want to know is if rhymes have to have the same syllable count

for example

Need to piss
Feed kids

Some people say these rhymes but I disagree for the simple fact one has 3 syllables and the other 2.

if it doesn't sound right, then it doesn't rhyme. the syllables have to be in the right pattern or words have to be stretched or emphasized. some rhymes sound good faster than slow, vice versa
oh yeah... and thanks for nothing too

I did this a lot, it's true. Eventually you just know how to do it.

I'm not a beginner though but I never gave that much of an attention to this until I started writing again.

how did u not know this :confusion:


but basically dont concentrate on it, say the line out loud. if it sounds good it probably is.
as far as lines go. thye should have lose to the same syllable count.

as far as a multi. should have the same. in audio you can get away with it not,
but text it throws off the flow
