Syntax In Poetry
By: Spencer Heinitsh
Analysis
Aquemini - Outkast
Analysis
-Spoken word feel vs. rap feel
-Doesn't follow specific flow
-Flow keeps you on the edge
-Structure is a little more choppy, and experimental
-Flow is not repetitive
-Can't really guess what the next line will sound like
-Doesn't perfectly blend in with the beat, makes his own flow
Blessings - Chance The Rapper
-Flow blends with beat perfectly
-The same rhyme scheme is maintained throughout the whole verse
-Not choppy, every syllable fits in place in an anticipated way
-Much more rhythmic than spoken word

that swirls between their eyes.
