Double rhymes: a bright accent for the lyrics in the style of rap

In the past year and a half, the popularity of such a genre of music as rap has increased dramatically . This direction is not deprived of attention even television - performers, coming out of the underground, come to the shooting of popular TV shows and read their compositions. The number of rap fans is increasing every month, and wishing to break into the masses as a hip-hop star is a huge amount. Young talents begin to write their own texts, but at the first reading it turns out that the song does not impress listeners at all. What is the secret of the rapper's swift rise to glory and why are their texts so catchy? The answer is simple - in these songs were used double rhymes, or doublebrim.

What is a doublebridge

Doublebraym (English Double Rhyme) - a technique used in writing rap lyrics, which is a double rhyme. Endings of lines in this case are consonant not one by one, but by the last two words. Thus, if the first part of the couplet ends in a combination of a "single cartridge", then both words rhyme, for example, "blank" - "regional" and "patron" - "pantheon". Double rhymes, despite the apparent simplicity in terms of application, are perceived by listeners much deeper. It creates the impression of complexity and versatility of the text, which is of paramount importance for a genre like rap. Fans of the genre have repeatedly noted that tracks with double rhymes cause "creepy" when listening - so hard "beat" at the target complex combinations.

Examples of using doublebraith reception

Western hip-hop artists have long used in their work double rhymes. Examples of their use in Russian-language rap began to appear relatively recently. Tracks with double-barrels invariably evoke the enthusiasm of listeners, who praise almost innovative changes in versification, although this technique existed in hip-hop for at least two decades. For example, the recently hugely popular rapper Oximiron (Oxxxymiron) often uses this technique in his tracks:

I remember as a child a moment, like a virgin, taking an unknown nickname,
From the protest, I went to the Rusrep, saying, I'll be here instead of them.

(Oxxxymiron, "The Beetle in the Anthill").

Also successfully in his work he uses double rhymes and rapper Hyde:

Cry, boy, when Hyde is a couple, you're like a cricket lunch,
Chances are less than the death of a physician who gives a HIV.
(Hyde, "He wins the one who can wait").

The influence of double rhyme on the listener

Why do double rhymes so impress the fans of recitative under the beat? Poetry has long influenced people in a special way because of the special harmony that the consonance of words creates at the end of the lines of the poetic work. Several statements, woven into one concept and secured by consonance, conveyed the poet's emotions and thoughts to the reader much more aptly than if they were voiced in a prosaic form. What kind of reception can be more obvious in the matter of impressions than double rhymes? Examples from modern Russian-speaking and legendary Western hip-hop compositions convincingly illustrate the colorfulness and at the same time the simplicity of expressing thoughts by rhyming. The origins of the influence of consonance on a man go back to the war hymns, with which the warriors warmed up before the battle - the adrenaline rush provided the rhythm and consonance of the song. In our time, rap, especially equipped with a powerful beat and doublebraid, causes the same feelings for its listeners.

Double rhymes as a distinctive feature of modern poetry

Not so long ago in Khabarovsk, according to the press, there was an amazing incident - the schoolgirl read in the lesson the text of the rapper Oksimiron "Interlaced", giving it for the poem "The Silent Spindle" by Osip Mandelstam, and the teacher, not noticing the substitution, put the student "excellent". Later it turned out that the girl was not going to give a rap for poetry of the 20th century - she only conducted a comparative analysis of two works. Nevertheless, the hype raised in the press made many users of the network think about how difficult it is to distinguish high-quality Russian rap from the poems of the classics. The answer was obvious - the main marker of modern poetry are topical slang and double rhymes.

Disadvantages of receiving doublebrim

Despite the obvious advantages, it is worth paying attention to the fact that double rhymes in rap should be used moderately and with skill. Excessive complication of the text with metaphors, slang and complicated poetic techniques can give the opposite effect - listeners can not understand the meaning of the song and lose interest in the artist's work. The thoughtless arrangement of words is the worst enemy of success, so novice hip-hop artists should thoroughly approach the use of such poetic techniques as double rhyme. In rap, examples of unsuccessful confusions and excessive congestion of words are so numerous that it is difficult to deny the need to analyze their poetic skills before making a decision to embark on the path of modern poem and try themselves in the popular genre.
