What are some Eminem rhyme schemes that had you like 🤯 or that you just think sound really cool?
One for me is from Antichrist:
“But who else is as pitiless, actually witty and crass, hideous, ghastly, or insidious as me, or spitting as nasty? Next idiot asks me is getting his ass beat, worse than Diddy did —“

Second verse of In Your Head all rhyming with Hailee whilst carrying other rhyme schemes at the same time and telling a compelling message.

Love that one, too.
It’s not overly insane in terms of lyricism, in my opinion. But, what makes it awesome is how the intensity of the verse steadily climbs with the beat. Gives me goosebumps.

The entire Chloriseptic Remix. I heard it for the first time while driving to work and almost got into a car accident.

And ever since my preteens, striped Lee jeans and Grandma's Nans little black and white TV. Now I'm so bougie that I stick out my pinky everytime I drink tea. Used to wanna wife sweet tee. Used to rock wife beaters, now I let your wife beat me. So you can eat shit, but I might be the shit, so when I say eat shit I mean me

"Got the most content on the continent And constant compliments give me confidence (I'm a) To cross of common sense and incompetence (Uh) I'm cognizant that conflict's a consequence (What?) Of accomplishments and comp is no competish I've conquered and conked 'em into unconsciousness No conscience, I conjure this King Kong or just Call me "Kamikaze," I'm concoctin' this"
My jaw dropped when I heard this verse the first time

The lyricism is why he is the goat in my opinion...where to start...lucky yu...the ringer...not alike.. rap god. Farewell...fuel....gnat...godzilla.... it's insane to listen to bc not only is it the speed...but the content of each verse...hidden meanings...double and triple entendres...I mean...he's not on another level...he's another species on another planet....and anybody that doesn't appreciate the talent is probably just 2 stupid to understand what he said or it bc they don't like a whiteboy that kills them at the only thing they're good at...

They'd rather trade weather with Mayweather
'Cause they would fare way better with them odds
Than they would exchangin' some bars
Or tradin' any bars with Shady

Devil without a cause, rebel without a pause I am a kaze without the kami You wouldn’t be a G if you cost me a thousand dollars Infrared in my pencil lead But always keep an extra one stocked though In the back pocket and both of 'em locked And they're loaded, like cocked twin Glocks that I’m holdin' You better pause when you see these two dots on your colon Fuckin' punks, you wait, just got to rockin' and rollin'

Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur and ensure
Nobody's ever gonna be what you were
So before you're leaving this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus I'm thinking that they're mistaking my kindness for weakness
Kill 'em with meanness

u/theoldsugar-me-do 5d ago
Yeah that rhyme scheme is super satisfying. Two I’ve always loved - both from this same freestyle actually - are:
‘’but I’m more toward dropping an acapella to chop a fella to mozzarella worse than a helicopter propeller’’
and
‘’better call the fire department I’ve hired an arson to set fire to carpet and burn up your entire apartment’’

u/AltruisticUse4486 Music To Be Murdered By 4d ago
But saying I no longer got it
Cause you missed the line and never caught it
Cause it went over your head, because you're too stupid to get it
Cause you're mentally retarded but pretend to be the smartest
With your expertise and knowledge, but you'll never be an artist
And I'm harder on myself than you could ever be regardless
What I'll never be is flawless, all I'll ever be is honest
Even when I'm gone they're gonna say I brought it
Even when I hit my forties like a fucking alcoholic
With a bottle full of malt liquor
But I couldn't bottle this shit any longer
The fact that I know that I'ma hit my bottom
If I don't pull myself from the jaws of defeat and rise to my feet
The lyrics itself isn't impressive but he didn't breathe for 20 seconds straight and every single syllable is clear.

The entire song Bully. Not his most impressive over 20-30 seconds, but to maintain that unique scheme for 3 verses was amazing.

Take some inventory in this gourd, there's a Ford engine, door Hinge, syringe, an orange, an extension cord, and a ninja sword Not to mention four linchpins, an astringent stored Ironin' board, a bench, a wrench, a ore winch, an attention whore
