letra de tutorial #2: the art of rhyming multisyllable words - daniel michael

words are able to be added before or after another word while still containing a phoneme string equal to the rhyme. this is kinda like algebra but with words. i realize this is going to get confusing but try and bear with me

take the word “sensitive” for example

s e ns i t i v

we can break this word up many different ways
in doing so we will be able to check and see which phonemes form a string that is equal to a string of phonemes from another word

word breakdowns:

1 sen sit iv – in this break down i see the word ‘sit’ in between ‘sen’ and ‘iv’. now if i can find a phrase that is started with a word ending in ‘sen’ before the word “sit” and then follow it up with a word beginning with the phoneme ‘iv’ then it means i have successfully rhymed this particular phoneme string. let’s see if we can find a better possibility in further breakdowns

3 sen sitiv – this breakdown is the same as above however there is no word ‘sit’ to work with, just the phoneme string ‘sitiv’. so in order to make this work you will have to build a phrase by finding a word that ends in ‘sen’ and another beginning in ‘sitiv’ and place them side by side

2 sens i tiv – in this breakdown i see the word sense followed by a single vowel phoneme “ih” and the phoneme string ‘tiv’. to make this work i will have to form a phrase that begins with the word ‘sense’ or a word that ends in ‘sens’. and since the vowel phoneme “ih” is not a word i will have to make it a meaningless syllable or a transition syllable. this means the sound only needs to be paired with a word containing the same type of syllable but not the same type of vowel phoneme. a word containing this type of syllable is the word “a” since it is a syllable which contains no initializing consonant or terminating consonant. after this is worked out i will continue the phrase by attaching a word that begins with the phoneme string “tiv” if possible. just so you know the phoneme t and d consonants are created using the same mouth movement and sound very similar. same goes for consonants v and f. so if you find a word with d or f in replace of the t and v that is also acceptable. one example is “difficult”. the rhyme would look like something like this:

-sensitive- = -sense a diff- ih cult… ignore the ih cult in difficult when testing the rhyme out loud

4 sens itiv
5 sensi tiv
6 sensit iv

i won’t bother with explaining the thought process for the examples that i skipped as i’m sure you get the idea and purpose of breaking down words this way. instead i will just skip ahead to the breakdown that i think would work best and takes the least amount of effort to find a solution to the problem

7 sens it iv — in this breakdown we actually have 3 words that form a sensible phrase right off the bat. “sense it if”, this means that there is no need of finding words before or after it to make it work. just like with all rhymes however you will need to find a way to use them together in a sentence or pattern
here is what i came up with:

“maybe you would sense it if you wern’t so sensitive.”

this statement could be used in the 2nd half of a 2 bar rhyme pattern. perhaps in the first bar you are talking to someone directly about how you were only joking about something you said

this technique is for building perfect rhymes such as

“oranges” = ”or in jizz”
“personal” = “person’ll”
“pair of dice” = “paradise”

eminem does with with – “m-ssacre” = “m-ss occur”

note: it is not necessary to match both the consonants and vowel sounds when rhyming as you probably already know, but when building rhymes this same technique is used. to find rhymes with matching vowel sounds only you must perform the same technique while at the same time disregarding what type of consonant is being used to provide more rhyming options but with less quality rhymes

this gives us rhymes such as:

“rick gave” = “switch blade = “his name” = “insane”
“rather wait” = “m-st-rbate” = “aftershave”
“circle” = “purple” = “urcle”

by the way, being aware of the 4 different syllable types (explained in the first tutorial) is important because it allows you to generate a list of single syllable words of each syllable type. this means that when you come across any syllable type in the process of breaking down a word you will already know what can go there allowing you to automate this process in your head when practiced enough times

if anyone is confused or has a questions or objection just lemme know and i’ll explain in more detail
