Which rappers have the best complex rhyme schemes?
An interesting question.If you stare down the history of rhymes in music and relate it to the evolution of rap, a beautiful pattern unfolds.What I will do here is list some very intriguing rhymes. What you should understand is that complex rhymes are not exclusive (mostly) to rap artists. Why?Well, because an artist who chooses some very dense rhymes in one song would go easy on some others for better storytelling.Anyhow, some very noteworthy mentions are :Notorious BIG - HypnotiseIt is often said to be the “smoothest rap” song ever. See how he alternates between long and short sentences and also notice the frequency of his rhymes.His laid back delivery makes it all the more gripping. He isn't regarded as the one of the best rappers for nothing.Mos Def - RedefinitionHe hits every note within the bar with a rhyme. This feat is almost impossible to maintain. Take a look.The man hardly ever cursed and he often probed some very sensitive issues with his rhymes.Eminem - Lose yourselfArguably, one of the best rap songs of all time. Look at this complex rhyme scheme.HOLY FUCK ! He also tells a very compelling and touching stories along with these rhymes.What is very interesting is that as he enunciates he often changes the pronunciation to rhyme and that is the clever ingenuity. Let me explain.Consider your words “ whole ” and “ knows ” from the verse. Now ask anyone to enunciate and ask if they rhyme. It doesn't, does it ? And now listen to the song. And listen carefully how he drawls the syllable “ ho” in “whole” and the same way stretches “ no” in “knows”. You see how it rhymes ?Eminem in pretty much the same way rhymes “orange” with “syringe” by twisting the pronunciation. Who says orange doesn't rhyme with anything ? The song did not win the Oscar for no reason.MF DOOM - Meat GrinderEver heard of someone rhyming complete sentences together ? Here we goI really can go on and on about him but I leave it upto you to discover this artist.The lyrics dances, the music enhances and the chance is he might be the one whose rhymes are the densest. ( Just off the top off my head :) )Happy reading.
Why do artists like singers or rappers have to grab their crotch all the time when they're performing?
Well, it usually is rappers who do so and not really singers, being a side hustle rapper myself, I will offer what I think its the best explanation for this phenomenon even though the act happens pretty much subconsciously.While holding the microphone with your dominant hand, say you are right handed, you will find your left hand grappling with your crotch. Rapping is usually a mentally challenging task that allows you to produce an intricate sequence of words in a specific amount of time and usually to the rhythm of a beat. As with most mentally challenging tasks, you find a part of your body physically contorting to match the level of strain being applied to your brain. For example footballers bouncing a ball on their foot would have the fingers of their hands twisted in an almost arthritic manner to give them the mental balance they require to perform flawlessly. It is the same with hip hop, there isn't really much explanation as to why the left hand would gravitate to the crotch, but its a method of giving balance and stabilizing your flow.Plus it looks cool.
Who's the bigger flop, The Game (Rapper) or?
The Game should of stuck with G-Unit. He was a perfect fit. But he was a lil bytch and didn't wanna diss the rappers that were dissing 50. I mean 50 was the leader of the group so show some damn respect. Anyway, I think The Game was a bigger flop. He put out some classic songs with 50 like Hate it or Love it, How We Do, West Side Story and more from G-Unit as well. But T-Mac was awesome back in the day. If he had a better team when he was healthy, I'm sure he could have made a run for the title. But unfortunately, he didn't and then got injured continuously. But all aside, I still like The Game. I like the West Coast shyt he used to put out because, well, I live on the West Coast. I just hate it when he used to diss G-Unit so much when they got him started.

Just a Punk Thug in High School. On February 14, 1993, Iverson and several of his friends became involved in an altercation with a group of white teenagers at a Hampton, Virginia bowling alley.

Nappy-headed hoes?
Mahogany is one classy nappy headed ho. She calls my mother a nappy headed ho, which is totally untrue. My mother has straight blonde hair, and is a very classy lady. So, Mahogany, an entire show is racist if they don't have "people of color" on the staff? You are the racist one. Why should they have to hire someone "of color". They are a minority, so it only makes sense theat you would see them less. Get over it. You should go buy a box on Kleenex and cry with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. I'm half Irish and Half German. You think that I get worked up every time someone makes a joke about the Irish being drunks or the calls someone a Nazi? No, because for one, I am neither a drunk or a Nazi. For another, I have enough self-esteem that I don't care what other people say. You don't want racism, but you want to write "****** with attitude's" eulogy? I was trying to contact you so I could respond to you ignorant answer here, but like most, you have e-mail and IM turned off.
Why doesn't St. Louis have an NBA team?
Actually, this is one of the greatest business deals ever done in sports, or anywhere else. In exchange for NOT participating in the NBA merger, the owners of the ABA St Louis Spirits, got a guarantee that: 1. They and there estates would own all rights to any future team that might be contemplated in St Louis. ---AND--- 2. EQUAL SHARE of the TV Revenues for eternity!! The owners (two brothers) could have taken the above deal (which they did) or a one-time payment of $25 million. So, they actually make more money for NOT Having a team or any risk than ANY OTHER NBA OWNER.
Why are Air jordans so good for playing basketball?
They aren't. They used to be, when Jordan was in his Chi-town days they represented the pinnacle of Nike technology and styling. After he retired they are focused on other things, being the best ball playing shoe has been passed to specific shoes for player types. PG, SG/SF, PF/C all have shoes that fit their games better than one shoe (air jordan) to fit them all. But back in the day, when cushioning and support technologies weren't as advanced or specialized as today.....the Jordan was the best shoe to ball in. AJ 3, 5 and 11 are perfect examples of being the best then, but not holding serve performance wise today. They will always look hot though!!!!
