Except I'm not. The dictionary says you're wrong. So you can go ahead and drop that one.
The art of "slant rhyming" in rap music ALSO says you're wrong. "Afraid" uses a long A sound. "Scared" does not.
Attempting to argue against the dictionary again. Assonance. Assonance. Assonance.

^^ We see that they pronounce it as
sk-air, correct?
ai is a stressed 'a' sound. Oh, it's not? Wait, wait, wait.. Doesn't the word
afraid come stock with an
ai already in it? AND THEY HAD THE NERVE TO USE "AI" AS A PRONUNCIATION GUIDE FOR THE WORD YOU SAID DIDN'T STRESS THE SAME SYLLABLES?? THOSE BASTARDS.
Okay, let's look up the word 'air' since they used that in the sample pronunciation.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/airDefinition number 8:
Music .
a. a tune; melody.
b. the soprano or treble part.
c. an aria.
d. Also,
ayre. an Elizabethan art song.
Oh,
ay isn't a stressed 'a' sound now, either? Okay, let's scroll a little further down the page.
Origins.
Latin āēr- (accusative āerem ) < Greek āer- (stem of āḗr )
OH. You mean those lines? Yeah. It's a stressed 'a' in both words. Even if it wasn't (which it is) The words are seemingly identical when spoken. The only differentiating attribute is that
scared has the 'r' sound after the strssed 'a' --and before the 'd' sound--while
afraid has the 'd' sound immediately after the stressing of the 'a'.
Again, this is semantics and your arguments were made void after agreeing with me. Good day, faggots.
So now we can get back to the heart of the debate, which is your claim that rappers choose whether or not to align the syllables of their multis based on the beat...the thing that has you in a panic and questioning your whole existence as an aspiring rapper.
I already won that when you agreed with me. You didn't? Actually, you both did.

Don't worry, it's not too late to change for the better. Now that you know, you can start properly aligning your rhyme syllables and improve the quality of your songs. Thank God Amadeo and I told you! No need for a "thank you" letter, though. We know you're eternally grateful.
>resort to unfunny sarcasm in an attempt to somehow regain control of the argument lost.
What's the point of going back and forth again? I've already proven my undoubted superiority over both of you try-hards. Even in a two on one situation, I manage to make you both look ridiculously incompetent while simultaneously making you BOTH agree with my argument. How, with any shred of dignity, can you even attempt to argue after agreeing with me? You've gotta be the most delusional member of this forum.
Overdose of fail. If fail were heroin, you'd be on life support.
