说唱手册Rapper手册第二章押韵

【说唱手册】Rapper 手册第二章押韵说唱手册の押韵艺术以下内容均翻译自【The Rapper's Handbook】第二章【Rhyme】.【Intro】这一章，我将把所有步骤都分解开就像科学家分析人类基因一样各种写词技术都会在各部分单独的，明确的进行阐述，你可以把所有的都阅读一遍，也可以挑你感兴趣的部分进行学习，有效的帮助你提高押韵技巧【1.Slant Rhyme（缺陷押韵）】说唱的基石是押韵，而一个说唱歌手就像一个画家，用flow把押韵的辞藻画在画布上对某些人来说这是废话，但是作为一个说唱歌手，最好的成长办法就是选择更优秀的押韵I start to think and then I sinkinto the paper like I was ink,when I’m writing I’m trapped in between the line,I escape when I finish the rhyme看看上面这段，这段歌词很好的说明了什么是一个rapper最酷，最精华的东西.是押韵！是押韵让说唱歌手自由的控制他的麦克风是押韵让说唱歌手振奋所有听众是押韵组成了flow的基石【Slant Rhyme（缺陷押韵）与Perfect Rhyme（完美押韵）】下面是字典里对完美押韵的定义：Perfect Rhyme (noun):Rhyme in which the finalaccented vowel and all succeeding consonantsor syllables are identical, while the precedingconsonants are different.（懒得翻译了，百度百科查押韵）完美押韵的例子比如说有cat, hat, bat; cake, bake, fake.完美押韵并不仅仅是像上面的严格的拼写字数，而是他的发音,比如说great, late; height, fight; bought, knot.这些虽然字数不一样，但是依然属于完美押韵完美押韵在很多情况下都能很好的应用，但是嘻哈音乐的改革者发现，这样严格的押韵局限性太大，他们开始使用Slant Rhyme（缺陷押韵）来让自己更自由的说唱.字典里对缺陷押韵的定义如下Slant Rhyme (noun):A partial or imperfectrhyme, often using assonance or consonanceonly. Also called half rhyme, near rhyme, obliquerhyme, and off rhyme.（懒得翻译了，后面说）人们可以把缺陷押韵看成是“几乎押韵”例如：heat, heart; cow, no; dry, died; love, fluff.缺陷押韵意思是某部分发音相似，但是并不是完全押韵{什么时候该使用缺陷押韵?}任何时候，但是有些时候缺陷押韵并不是一种选择，而是必须要这样押韵.1.当某些单词没有完美押韵时英语中很多单词并没有perfect rhyme，比如说：silver, purple, month,angst, sixth, breadth, ninth, pint, wolf,opus,monster,dangerous, marathon, napkin, hostage, discombobulate在Nas的一首名叫NY State of Mind的歌曲中，他用了一个无完美押韵的dangerous但是他同样的能令这段歌词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 hostagesNas运用prosperous, dangerous, blaming us 和hostages来让歌词延续但是整段歌词的flow却并没有受到影响2.避免太过俗套的押韵有些完美押韵已经被人用烂了，听起来让人乏味，最好就选择替换成缺陷押韵,比如knowledge和college，人们已经不知道有多少次听到这对押韵了，为了避免这种情况,我们必须用缺陷押韵，例如，knowledge的缺陷押韵-mall kids, honest,ballas,taller, Paul Wall did, on it, admonish, cabbage.运用缺陷押韵的最大好处在于，避免Rapper经常犯的错误，押韵过于明显. 如果一个听众听到你上一句歌词结尾的押韵时，能够猜到一句结尾的单词，那么你就彻头彻尾的失败了.所以运用缺陷押韵能够在不破坏flow的情况下保持押韵.例如:money,funny,honey这三个单词.可以使用以下的缺陷押韵来进行押韵.gin rummy, Sunday, dummy, crumbly,Tony, blunt be, hunt me, some tea,plenty.很多歌手通过断句和flow来发音他们的单词，你甚至听不出来这些单词是缺陷押韵比如2PAC的经典作品ChangesI see no changeswake 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’mlookin’for a purse to snatch,cops give a damn about a negro,pull the trigger kill a ni**a he’s a heroTupac, “Changes”他的缺陷押韵，“ask”和“blast,”“black”和“snatch,”以及“negro”和“hero.”【Rhyme Scheme（押韵组合）】押韵组合是指在一段verse中，在什么地方设置关系到另一个单词或另一句歌词的韵脚.例如最简单的一种.设置在每句的最末端，并且是AABB的形式Rats in the front room, roaches in the back, Ajunkies in the alley with the baseball bat, AI tried to get away, but I couldn’t get far, Bcuz the man with the tow truck repossessed my car B【yme Scheme Notation（押韵组合注释）】一种用来匹配押韵和设置押韵的方法，将不同的韵脚用黑体，下弧线，斜体字来区分例如: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 camperNi**a get the phone booklook up in the yellow page,let me tell you how we fin to get paid随着时代发展，我们已经不能使用那种老式的ABAB押韵组合了，【In-Rhyme（内押韵）】内押韵是一种简短的internal rhyme（内部押韵），内押是指任何发生在一句歌词中的一对押韵，而不是句语句之间的押韵,它的作用很明显，举例Moving quick like a pack of wolves hunting,Telling all of these false haters to stop frontin’这是两句没有内押的歌词，但是经过简单的换词，变成下列两句Moving fast like a pack of wolves hunting,Telling all of these fake haters to stop frontin将quick变成fast，韵脚就与pack一致，同理，将false变成fake，韵脚与hate一致简单的变化另两句歌词的flow产生了巨大变化.另一种内押韵是将内押韵处理在下一句歌词中，例如上一句的尾部押韵，在下一句的开头继续出现。

yo thewhole state of things in the world about to changeblack rain falling from the sky look strange这两句歌词中change 和rain以及strange构成一组缺陷押韵同时state和things的发音也和change, rain,strange发音类似.【Multies（多重押韵）】现今的嘻哈音乐中，多重押韵应用的越来越广泛了，多重押韵的定义就是多音节押韵多重押韵可以是双押，三押，四押甚至更多普通押韵: cat / hat多重押韵: my cat / hi-hat多重押韵: bit my cat / hit the hi-hat南部的一个说唱歌手Ludacris最喜欢在他的歌曲中运用多重押韵.他的歌曲有一个标志就是在一句歌词结尾处通常会减速并且重读结尾的单词，而这个单词往往就与下一句结尾构成一组多重押韵.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与IV构成一组多重押韵.【多重押韵与内押韵的区别】内押韵:Don’t be silly cover your milli I’m like BillyDon’t be dumb cover your gun I ain’t funsilly,milli billy构成一组内押韵dumb,gun,fun构成另一组内押韵多重押韵:Punchlines that kill…my hits’ll bury ya,I rap to myself on the bus like…schizophreniahits’ll bury ya与schizophrenia构成一组多重押韵.【如何写出漂亮的多重押韵】多重押韵其实并不是想象中的那么困难，只是需要花费更多的时间去寻找.1.第一步，寻找一句你想要开始搭配多重押韵的歌词，例如The elite force like army rangers and navy seals现在，我们要创造一个多重押韵与navy seals进行匹配2.寻找与navy配对的缺陷或者完美押韵.navy的完美押韵:gravywavynavy的缺陷押韵:maybebabyladyrabiesweighty3.寻找另一个音节的押韵单词，这个例子中就是sealsseals的完美押韵:dealseelsfeelsheelsmealspeelsreelssquealsstealswheelsseals的缺陷押韵:staleswhalesbeans4.将上下两部分单词惊醒自由搭配，寻找可以说得通有意义的组合，例如:Baby meals,Wavy eelsLady squeals,Gravy feelsWeighty whales然后运用这些组合去勾勒你想要的句子.例如A.I kick it operatic ‘til that fat lady squealsB.Your lyrics are stuffing,so now I know how gravy feelsC.I’ll call you Gerber，cuz ya spittin’up some baby meals5.将这些句子拼凑起来，就组成了完美的多重押韵The elite force like army rangers and navy seals,I kick it operatic ‘til that fat lady squealsyour lyrics are stuffing, now I know how gravy feels,I’ll call you Gerber，cuz ya spittin’up some baby meals【重读与轻读】运用/和-来标注重读和轻读的单词，例如:- / --/ / --/ --/Today is the first day of the rest of my life.- / -/ --/ / --/Behind my house is the most twisted of trees这会有效地帮助你更好的处理多重押韵，因为有些单词很长的时候，你只需要在你重读的音节上进行押韵搭配，而轻读的可以无视.例如上面的例子，结尾的三个单词是twisted of trees，然而重读的部分只有“twist和trees,所以我们可以只针对这两个发音来寻找多重押韵，例如：Mystical kneeListen to meMess with the bees然后选择一个进行遣词造句，就得出了下列歌词:Behind my house is the most twisted of trees,I always ignore the birds, but I mess with the bees在举一些例子，在EMINEM的歌词中（D12-MY BANK），有这么一句歌词：/ -/I just think you’re trying to steal the light from me可以看出来中的的是light和me，所以再搭配多重押韵时，只需要注意Light和me 在接下来的歌词里eminem是这样写的: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【多重押韵之王】这一段我就简单翻译了，eminem是多重押韵之王.最经典的作品就是The Real Slim Shady这张专辑.在lose yourself中，有这么几句堪称多重押韵的经典His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavyThere’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghettiHe’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and readyTo drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting看看这段歌词中的多重押韵吧，多么牛X（6组多重押韵列在下面）palms are sweatyarms are heavyvomit on his sweater alreadymom’s spaghettiand readyon forgetting【Rapper 手册第二章押韵】-----完~。
