RAP 🎤 in essence, is a form of poetry. Rap is similar to SLAM poetry and spoken word in that the focus is on the show and delivery as much as, or even more than, the message. Lyricists love wordplay. Mastering wordplay involves mastering several different skills. Lyricists must have an arsenal of homophones (words that sound the same with different meanings), oronyms (phrases that sound the same but are different), be able to allude to topics their fans understand, have a mastery of metaphors and similes and know when they’re appropriate, and create complicated multiple syllable rhyme schemes.
Wordplay in rap and hip hop can be categorized by the type of wordplay and the skills used to create the play on words.One form in wordplay is using different words or phrases that sound the same, sort of like a pun. For example, in a rap battle versus > Arsonal (An American Rapper) took a different approach in his battle with Shotty Horroh, who’s real name is Adam. ^ Arsonal said, “ So I went on twitter to add him / I found out his name was Adam / So I gotta break down this atom.
See the definition of atom is a basic unit of matter / so when your mother named you Adam she was inferring that basically you didn’t matter.”!!
In Ghana, there are alot of Main Stream Rappers such as SARKODIE, OKYEAME KWAME, M.ANIFEST, STONE, E.L , EDEM , KINAATA, YAA PONO etc.. and Underground Rappers such as STRONGMAN , 1CEDI , KO-JO CUE , TEEPHLOW , TEE RYHME etc...
For now is all about the Main Stream artist/rappers claiming to be "THE GOD MC' in the rap game.
Not every rapper is an MC, and not every MC is a lyricist. There are great songs with stupid lyrics, and lyricists who have never made great songs. It’s usually the beat that grabs you first. Sometimes it’s the hook. But for the true pop/rap fan, it’s the verses that bring it home.A verse could be dope because of how it feels when you rap along with it!
Hell yeah talks are cheap, so Ghanaian rappers just wakes up and claim to be the GOD MC, meanwhile for one to be the GOD MC his rap must
1.Influences a whole wave of artists
2.Change the game
3.Drops more albums!!
Elsewhere Nas,2pac,Biggie and Rakim are the only one worthy of holding that title, until WestCoast's Kendrick influences a whole wave of artists, drops more albums, and changes the game!!
Finally am sorry to say this but y'all mainstream artist/rappers in Ghana claiming to be the GOD MC or Kings whatever CAN'T be the GOD MC without your rap or music influencing a whole wave of artists, dropping more albums, and it changing the game!!!
