I have been wondering this for a while... How would you Rap poly-rhythmically? When I say "poly-rhythmically" I'm not talking about rapping by subdividing the beat into even numbers(everyone does this, see Migos rapping triplets over four). I'm talking about the Rap vocals being polyrhythmic by themselves.
You could layer Rap vocals together, but it would be weird and difficult to understand, it would be unpractical to be honest.
Any idea?
Learn konnakol and replace percussion syllables with rhymes and ad-libs
How would you not immediately think of the obvious solutions: to coordinate two different rhyme schemes in a polyrhythm.
Oh shit this is exactly what i was trying to suggest. Yes do this
... accents
>coordinate two different rhyme schemes in a polyrhythm.
Exactly this, two rhyme schemes in your sentences
That's nice in theory but do you have working examples? How would you made one?
>How

It’s experimental music youre talking about user you are gonna have to experiment with it
White people got no rhythm and can't understand things like this. This is the wrong place to ask
Not OP, I just found this thread and wanted to see for myself
Isn’t it already polyrhythmic because the rhymes make one rhythm while the cadence of speech make another?
spoonfed baby wants spoon
Raps not about nerd shirt like that. Just catch the beat and ride it.
I believe Riff Raff accomplishes this on the track Orion's Belt
Polyrhythm aren't "nerd shits", if anything they are more "folk shit".
Well whatever maybe you're right in that context. I mean that when you rap, it's gotta be like jazz or something, that's how you flow from the soul. Like a bebop solo. Don't think to hard just flow how the beat makes you feel. It's not meant for everyone.

>it's gotta be like jazz or something
And Jazz is full of polyrhythms...
>Like a bebop solo. Don't think to hard just flow how the beat makes you feel. It's not meant for everyone.
Just a question, have you ever done a bebop solo or Jazz improvisation? If no, then try right now, just do as you "feel". If it sounds like shit, then don't be surprised, it's because you don't get the technique.
Making music is not just about "doing as you feel". You think a bit about the concepts and tools that you are going to use to express those "feelings" in a way that sounds good. Even in Rap people think about concepts like "delivery", "rhyme schemes", "flow", "bars", "16-bar", "syllables", "stress", "accent" etc...
You don't just wake up and go on the piano and then randomly touch the keys. Why the fuck do you think that Coltrane practiced the C major scale for 11 HOURS STRAIGHT on the piano?

And you are talking about Jazz and Bebop as if you ever even tried to practice any of those. "It'S gOttA Be LIkE JaZz" . Good players have to learn and practice a dozen of scales in all 12 keys before being able to improvise well and spontaneously. And Bebop??? Hahaha. Try to make Bebop right now. It'a full of rapid chord & key changes with complex chord progressions and improvisitions on harmonic structures and shit... all in a fast tempo.
Expressing feelings doesn't mean that you can't(or don't) think about the tools and techniques you use to express them, especially not when talking about Jazz or Bebop. When you do A LOT of trainings and become very experienced it starts to become natural but you will have to learn your concepts and train yourself before reaching this point.
Try it yourself lazy bitch.
