"Aggression" is the perfect title for this piece (not very interesting) but accurate nonetheless. Breaking it up into stanzas would make it a whole lot easier on the eyes.

This is the finished first verse to a song I am writing called "Lampworking". Lampworking Forge an attar by triune homa, Of pallor ash haranae. Orange pallia glow sub-rosa, Amour of a charolais. Luciformis aureate porcelain, Corpus de atelier, Watch a scarlet oculus radiate, Bellow a coronet. Hallowed iron to marver rubino Gathers of Adelaide. Court a newly visage cerulean, Sewing stones with a glaze. Bore an ornament by the magus' helve, Cast a form by the flame. Colubrinus elan-vital, echad Ousiarch palanquin. Mitamashiro seda palantir Sacristan dalasi.

Patton Oswalt had a great bit about no longer having music the he hates, and another about the concept of a sellout; as well as saying something to the extent of, "I always wrote for now, where a lot of people write for the ages" , both of the ideas introduced just clicked for me. Targeting a specific demographic and succeeding in doing so seems to be an artform all on its own. This question stems from me reading my own material and thinking to myself, "nobody in their right mind would understand or even give a shit about this".

Of late, the question of target audience and accessibility has been reoccurring throughout the day. Do you write with a specific audience in mind, or is that nothing more than an after thought? How does clarity of meaning, and accessibility affect your writing itself as well as the process?

Would using italics where there is a stress be appropriate?
-
Yeah. But I'm still thinking of questions and answers as to why one would want to do this; I'm just running with an idea I never before considered.

I think what I am trying to say is that; acquiring the knowledge of poetic structure will help us to understand why something sounds good to us - and that will in turn; enable us to communicate what we understand to others. The difference between rap and the lyrics of other genres of pop music is that it has the potential to stand on its own as a literary form (this is just an idea and in no way supposed to be law). I can only think of three artists, within this genre, that can transcend the music and have their lyrics be able to stand on legs of their own; and even then I am aware that it's all far from flawless. Rap is a young art form and will eventually take its rightful place within the liberal arts; but it has to separate itself from the music to do this. No longer restrained to the structure of song, we would be able to incorporate poetic structure without feeling hindered.

There is a book that was published in 2010 by Adam Bradley and Andrew Dubois titled; The Anthology of Rap. As your reading this book you begin to notice that, unless your familiar with the song, an accurate portrayal of the artists intended meter and rhythm become difficult; The reason for this is that, most of the artists never intended for these lyrics to be anything but heard. Does the average person care to pull a rap off their bookshelf to sit and recite a verse from, Tupac Shakur's Brenda's Got A Baby, for pleasure? Outside of those who actively listen to rap music, I would say nobody. Why would someone do that when they can just listen to the song?

Any members here check out this series of video. Craig Wright at Yale, lecturing on how to listen to classical music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_yOVARO2Oc&list=PLh9mgdi4rNezhx8YiGIV8I22ICSuzslja

When you learn, understand and memorize a poem; your embedding that data into your psyche, whether that data be an idea, structure, or rhythm. When I began to rap it seemed to come slightly natural because I had already committed to memory a large number of compositions. Reading poetry, or anything for that matter, is about the incorporation of information.
-
Sounds like a screenwriter:)
-
I have a hard time doing this. It's some weird thing I am just now getting over; where I would hate to "waste" a word or an idea on practice.
-
Should structure in rap be through poetic meter and form; or by musical rhythm?What do you value more? The music or the written composition.
-
The Ins/outs of rap lyrics and their rules have never been established. "This drinks got me slippin " confuses the reader.
-
Would splitting some of the lines in half make the rhythm more natural for the reader? Beginning with the first line. For example: This girl ain't average, no this bitch is different This girl ain't average, No this bitch is different. Any experienced song writers here that can tell me if that makes any difference at all in the readers rhythm?
-
The poisonous relationship. I was stumbling around with the rhythm a bit as well.
