1.Slant Rhyme(缺陷押韻)
說唱的基石是押韻,而壹個說唱歌手就像壹個畫家,用flow把押韻的辭藻畫在畫布上
對某些人來說這是廢話,但是作為壹個說唱歌手,最好的成長辦法就是選擇更優秀的押韻
I start to think and then I sink
into the paper like I was ink,
when I’m writing I’m trapped in between the line,
I escape when I finish the rhyme
看看上面這段,這段歌詞很好的說明了什麽是壹個rapper最酷,最精華的東西.
是押韻!
是押韻讓說唱歌手自由的控制他的麥克風
是押韻讓說唱歌手振奮所有聽眾
是押韻組成了flow的基石
Slant Rhyme(缺陷押韻)與 Perfect Rhyme(完美押韻)
下面是字典裏對完美押韻的定義:Perfect Rhyme (noun):
Rhyme in which the final
accented vowel and all succeeding consonants
or syllables are identical, while the preceding
consonants are different.(懶得翻譯了,百度百科查押韻)
完美押韻的例子比如說有cat, hat, bat; cake, bake, fake.
完美押韻並不僅僅是像上面的嚴格的拼寫字數,而是他的發音,比如說
great, late; height, fight; bought, knot.
這些雖然字數不壹樣,但是依然屬於完美押韻
完美押韻在很多情況下都能很好的應用,但是嘻哈音樂的改革者發現,這樣
嚴格的押韻局限性太大,他們開始使用Slant Rhyme(缺陷押韻)來讓自己更自由的說唱.字典裏對缺陷押韻的定義如下
Slant Rhyme (noun):
A partial or imperfect
rhyme, often using assonance or consonance
only. Also called half rhyme, near rhyme, oblique
rhyme, and off rhyme.(懶得翻譯了,後面說)
人們可以把缺陷押韻看成是“幾乎押韻”例如:
heat, heart; cow, no; dry, died; love, fluff.
缺陷押韻意思是某部分發音相似,但是並不是完全押韻
{什麽時候該使用缺陷押韻?}
任何時候,但是有些時候缺陷押韻並不是壹種選擇,而是必須要這樣押韻.
1.當某些單詞沒有完美押韻時
英語中很多單詞並沒有perfect rhyme,比如說:
silver, purple, month,angst, sixth, breadth, ninth, pint, wolf,
opus,monster,dangerous, marathon, napkin, hostage, discombobulate
在Nas的壹首名叫NY State of Mind的歌曲中,他用了壹個無完美押韻的dangerous
但是他同樣的能令這段歌詞flow很棒:
I got so many rhymes I don’t think I’m too sane,
Life is parallel to Hell but I must maintain,
And be prosperous, though we live dangerous,
Cops could just arrest me, blaming us, we’re held like hostages
Nas運用prosperous, dangerous, blaming us 和 hostages來讓歌詞延續
但是整段歌詞的flow卻並沒有受到影響
2.避免太過俗套的押韻
有些完美押韻已經被人用爛了,聽起來讓人乏味,最好就選擇替換成缺陷押韻,比如
knowledge和college,人們已經不知道有多少次聽到這對押韻了,為了避免這種
情況,我們必須用缺陷押韻,例如,knowledge的缺陷押韻-mall kids, honest,
ballas,taller, Paul Wall did, on it, admonish, cabbage.
很多歌手通過斷句和flow來發音他們的單詞,妳甚至聽不出來這些單詞是缺陷押韻
比如2PAC的經典作品Changes
I see no changes
wake up in the morning and I ask myself,
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I’m tired of bein’ poor and even worse I’m black,
my stomach hurts so I’m
lookin’ for a purse to snatch,
cops give a damn about a negro,
pull the trigger kill a ni**a he’s a hero
Tupac, “Changes”
他的缺陷押韻,“ask” 和“blast,” “black” 和“snatch,” 以及 “negro” 和 “hero.”
Rhyme Scheme(押韻組合)
押韻組合是指在壹段verse中,在什麽地方設置關系到另壹個單詞或另壹句歌詞的韻腳.
例如最簡單的壹種.設置在每句的最末端,並且是AABB的形式
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back, A
junkies in the alley with the baseball bat, A
I tried to get away, but I couldn’t get far, B
cuz the man with the tow truck repossessed my car B
yme Scheme Notation(押韻組合註釋)
壹種用來匹配押韻和設置押韻的方法,將不同的韻腳用黑體,下弧線,斜體字來區分
例如:
Better plot for the paper,
we been living in the dark since April,
on the candle gotta get a handle,
my homie got a 25 automatic added to the camper
Ni**a get the phone book
look up in the yellow page,
let me tell you how we fin to get paid
(我艹,這個黑體斜體下弧線我沒辦法弄到百度了= =)
隨著時代發展,我們已經不能使用那種老式的ABAB押韻組合了,
In-Rhyme(內押韻)
內押韻是壹種簡短的internal rhyme(內部押韻),內押是指任何發生在壹句歌詞中的壹 對押韻,而不是句語句之間的押韻,它的作用很明顯,舉例
Moving quick like a pack of wolves hunting,
Telling all of these false haters to stop frontin’
這是兩句沒有內押的歌詞,但是經過簡單的換詞,變成下列兩句
Moving fast like a pack of wolves hunting,
Telling all of these fake haters to stop frontin
將quick變成fast,韻腳就與pack壹致,同理,將false變成fake,韻腳與hate壹致
簡單的變化另兩句歌詞的flow產生了巨大變化.
另壹種內押韻是將內押韻處理在下壹句歌詞中,例如上壹句的尾部押韻,在下壹句的開頭繼續出現。
yo the
whole state of things in the world about to change
black rain falling from the sky look strange
這兩句歌詞中 change 和rain以及strange構成壹組缺陷押韻
同時state和things的發音也和change, rain,strange發音類似.
Multies(多重押韻)
現今的嘻哈音樂中,多重押韻應用的越來越廣泛了,多重押韻的定義就是多音節押韻
多重押韻可以是雙押,三押,四押甚至更多
普通押韻: cat / hat
多重押韻: my cat / hi-hat
多重押韻: bit my cat / hit the hi-hat
南部的壹個說唱歌手Ludacris最喜歡在他的歌曲中運用多重押韻.他的歌曲有壹個標誌
就是在壹句歌詞結尾處通常會減速並且重讀結尾的單詞,而這個單詞往往就與下壹句結尾
構成壹組多重押韻.Ludacris-[Number One Spot]
I’m never going nowhere, so don’t try me,
my music sticks in fans’ veins like an I.V.
try me與IV構成壹組多重押韻.
多重押韻與內押韻的區別
內押韻:
Don’t be silly cover your milli I’m like Billy
Don’t be dumb cover your gun I ain’t fun
silly,milli billy構成壹組內押韻
dumb,gun,fun構成另壹組內押韻
多重押韻:
Punchlines that kill… my hits’ll bury ya,
I rap to myself on the bus like… schizophrenia
hits’ll bury ya與schizophrenia構成壹組多重押韻.
如何寫出漂亮的多重押韻
多重押韻其實並不是想象中的那麽困難,只是需要花費更多的時間去尋找.
1.第壹步,尋找壹句妳想要開始搭配多重押韻的歌詞,例如
The elite force like army rangers and navy seals
現在,我們要創造壹個多重押韻與navy seals進行匹配
2.尋找與navy配對的缺陷或者完美押韻.
navy的完美押韻:
gravy
wavy
navy的缺陷押韻:
maybe
baby
lady
rabies
weighty
3.尋找另壹個音節的押韻單詞,這個例子中就是seals
seals的完美押韻:
deals
eels
feels
heels
meals
peels
reels
squeals
steals
wheels
seals的缺陷押韻:
stales
whales
beans
4.將上下兩部分單詞驚醒自由搭配,尋找可以說得通有意義的組合,例如:
Baby meals,
Wavy eels
Lady squeals,
Gravy feels
Weighty whales
然後運用這些組合去勾勒妳想要的句子.例如
A.I kick it operatic ‘til that fat lady squeals
B.Your lyrics are stuffing,so now I know how gravy feels
C.I’ll call you Gerber,cuz ya spittin’ up some baby meals
5.將這些句子拼湊起來,就組成了完美的多重押韻
The elite force like army rangers and navy seals,
I kick it operatic ‘til that fat lady squeals
your lyrics are stuffing, now I know how gravy feels,
I’ll call you Gerber, cuz ya spittin’ up some baby meals
重讀與輕讀
運用/和-來標註重讀和輕讀的單詞,例如:
- / - - / / - - / - - /
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
- / - / - - / / - - /
Behind my house is the most twisted of trees
這會有效地幫助妳更好的處理多重押韻,因為有些單詞很長的時候,妳只需要在妳重讀的
音節上進行押韻搭配,而輕讀的可以無視.例如上面的例子,結尾的三個單詞是twisted of
trees,然而重讀的部分只有“twist和trees,所以我們可以只針對這兩個發音來尋找多重 押韻,例如:
Mystical knee
Listen to me
Mess with the bees
然後選擇壹個進行遣詞造句,就得出了下列歌詞:
Behind my house is the most twisted of trees,
I always ignore the birds, but I mess with the bees
在舉壹些例子,在EMINEM的歌詞中(D12-MY BANK),有這麽壹句歌詞:
/ - /
I just think you’re trying to steal the light from me
可以看出來中的的是light和me,所以再搭配多重押韻時,只需要註意Light和me
在接下來的歌詞裏eminem是這樣寫的:
I just think you’re trying to steal the light from me,
Yesterday Kuniver tried to pull a knife on me,
‘Cuz I told him Jessica Alba’s my wife to be
多重押韻之王
eminem是多重押韻之王.
最經典的作品就是The Real Slim Shady這張專輯.
在lose yourself中,有這麽幾句堪稱多重押韻的經典
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
看看這段歌詞中的多重押韻吧,多麽牛X(6組多重押韻列在下面)
palms are sweaty
arms are heavy
vomit on his sweater already
