How to Freestyle Rhyme http://www.FreestyleMethod.com If you can successfully rhyme, then you have learned that the foundation of freestyle rhyme lies in the fact that everything you do involves some form of a rhyme. You are really a poet that learns how to flow. In this article we are going to look at 2 different kinds of rhyme and how they apply to your work as a freestyle rapper. There are 2 different kinds of rhyming. The first kind is known as perfect rhyme and the second is known as imperfect rhyme. The imperfect rhyme is also known as slant rhyme, off rhyme or near perfect rhyme among other names. In your words that are rhymed perfectly, your words don't have to be the same length and don't have to be spelled the same, but you will find that last accented vowel and the consonants or syllables after the last vowel will be the same. All of the consonants before this are different. Let's look at some examples: can, ban, fan, Dan and ran. Unfortunately, if you are rhyming, you are going to run across situations where using a form of perfect rhyme really restricts you. There is a form of freestyle rhyme that is not as restrictive and will give you greater freedom to share your thoughts. Using the imperfect or slant rhyme, you can use two words that sound very close, but do not rhyme perfectly. A couple of words that are like this are shine and mime. Now that you know what the two types of rhyme are, let's talk about when you would use the imperfect or slant rhyme. In the English language, you will find that there are some words that do not perfectly rhyme with any other words. There are three color words that are great examples of words that do not match any other words. These are the words orange, purple and silver. If you were to use these words in your rhymes, you would not be able to find any words that would match these perfectly, so you would have to use slant rhymes or words that closely match your words. Another time to use these slant rhymes is when you are really trying to be creative and you want to use some different rhymes. You would use this if you wanted to avoid some common rhymes and wanted to come up with something different. As you continue to develop your freestyle rhyme skills, keep the difference between these two types of rhyming in mind and practice using each form in your freestyle rapping.
