He keeps the sentence length and organization largely the same, however this shows a rapper in full control of all facets in his flow. Where he has multisyllabic internal rhymes to increase the tension – “WARRIORS and CONANS / hope euPHORIA can SLOW DANCE with soCIETY the DRIVER’S SEAT”, where the capitalized words or syllables all rhyme. The 16th notes have 2 beams, such as on the word “options” the 32nd notes have 3 above them, which you can see here, on the word “mother:” Notice here how Kendrick ups the musical tension by increasing the speed of his rhythms: you can see the triplets with the three above them, as well as 32nd notes (the word “mother” in the phrase “motherfucking Hit Boy beat” – the more lines, called beams, there are above a notehead means the shorter the note value is. We call this “elision” in music, where the end of one phrase is joined to the start of the next one. The third verse is the most interesting, though, so we will skip there.Here, Kendrick changes the end of the hook to make it transition flawlessly into the 3rd verse. The same can be said for the 2nd verse, but here the sentences largely follow the bar line. Throughout the rest of the bar, Kendrick continues all of these tendencies we just described, such as accenting interesting words in the sentence (like “up”, or the “-ping” of “popping”), and using internal and end multisyllable rhymes. He does this again later on in the bar when he repeats “and I pray.” This is what that bracketed 3 means above the notes. On the “And I pray”, he fits 3 sixteenth notes (“triplets”) where usually only 2 goes, such as for the words “lobby”, which are on 2 sixteenth notes. As you can see from the sheet music here: This means that more notes are being fitted in the same amount of musical space, the beat, so they sound faster. However, that is not to say you can’t divide it in other ways, such as by fitting 5 sixteenth notes (“quintuplets”) or 6 sixteenth notes (“sextuplets”). Just as the bar is divided into 4 beats, each beat can be divided into 4 16th notes (called quadruplets), which is what happens in 4/4 music. Often, he fits a number of syllables other than 4 to a beat. This is a very good general remark to make about Kendrick’s flow in general, but of course it is much more detailed than that.Next, Kendrick gets to another hallmark of his style. So, using the organizing principles described above, we can say the following: Kendrick here uses mostly few-syllables internal and external rhymes in different rhythmic positions in relatively long sentences that are largely organized by the bar line. So he starts off slow, rhyming “amazing” with “matrix.” However, he immediately jumps in: “My MIND is living on cloud NINE and this NINE is never on VACATION”, where vacation rhymes with “matrix” in the preceding line. He starts off by pacing his rhymes: he doesn’t drop them all at once, because to come on so strong means any effect of a climax that should come at the end of the song (as all good musical pieces do) would be very weakened. In the first verse, though, Kendrick gets to why the hype was so crazy for this album. Ultimately, who is good and who is bad will be left up to the listener, but I know what I prefer, and will offer my value judgments based on what I believe to be the core, fundamental principles underlying all good rap. We can look at rappers and, by describing their musical and rhythmic tendencies, group them into different categories. It’s my belief that, when discussing rap (which here refers to something completely different from hip-hop), we can move the discussion beyond the “Drake sucks, Eminem rules” kind (although that is sort of the argument I make in my article on the Eminem song “Business,” which you can read here.) When I say rap, I mean the words and rhythms that Kendrick speaks, and how they interact together. Instead, I want to take a look only at Kendrick’s rap, not the beats of his songs. However, this is not yet another GKMC review. City album.” Overall I really, really liked the album, the album of the year I think. If you’ve been alive recently you know that Kendrick Lamar just released his much-anticipated “Good Kid, M.A.A.D.
