IN-DEPTH ARTICLE ON THIS TOPIC: https://rapgamenow.com/how-to-rhyme-i...

The first thing you must understand is when it comes to rap, as opposed to poetry or other forms of writing - the word “rhyme” is a more broad term than just words that perfectly “rhyme” like you learned in school.

So, in school and most poetry, they teach you that rhyming is only limited to “perfect rhymes” such as “hat” and “cat” or “fear” and “near”.

Now, if you notice, the easiest way to “create rhymes” from those perfect rhymes is to simply change the first letter.

To rhyme “cat” with “hat”, simply change the C to an H.

To rhyme “fear” with “near”, simply change the F to a N.

So, this is the first lesson you need to lock down in order to start coming up with more rhymes for your freestyle…

Simply changing the beginnings of words will give you more rhymes.

The Alphabet Game

Which brings us to the main step-by-step framework we’ll be using in this rap tutorial… we call it “The Alphabet Game”.

I created it many years ago when I was, just like you reading this, trying to figure out ways to come up with more rhymes for my freestyle rap INSTANTLY without having my mind go blank.

This step-by-step method will be absolutely CRUCIAL for you to master if you want to learn both how to rhyme better in rap overall, but also how to increase your rhyming skills for your freestyles.

Step #1: Write Out The Alphabet

Now, let’s get you writing.

Step 1 is to write out the numbers 1-26 (because there are 26 letters in the alphabet) on a piece of paper (or a notes app), and then write out each letter of the alphabet.

(And yes, if you’re wondering, you can use this same exact method in any language - so if you’re from another country watching this, you can do this in German, or Hindi, or whatever)

(Write out the letters)

Step #2: Write Out The Word You Want To Rhyme With On Your Alphabet Chart

Step 2 is to write out the main word you’re trying to rhyme with.
So, for the purposes of this example, let’s use “cat”.

You put the word “cat” next to C because it starts with a C.

Now, if you notice… I have 25 other POSSIBLE words where if I change the first letter, it might rhyme with cat. We’ve already discussed “hat”, so let’s fill that in there.

Now we have 24 other possible words where if I change the first letter, it might rhyme with cat.

We have “bat”, so we fill it in next to the letter B. We have “rat”, so we fill it in next to the letter R, and so on.

Just to make this clear - you can do the exact same thing with “fear” (write it next to the letter F) and “near” (write it next to the letter N)

…And even “clear” (I would put that next to C… even though you’re changing TWO letters, it the same principle).

Now it’s your turn, take a word you want to rhyme and go through the process of adding at least 5 different rhymes, and TRUST ME in a second this is going to get a lot more advanced so don’t be afraid if these rhymes seem super simple.

(Write out your rhymes)

Step #3 Practice Freestyling To Your New Words

Now that you have a list of at least 5 rhymes… you already have enough rhymes to start practice freestyling.

The best part about this is that by having your rhyming words already prepared (but without any connecting sentences or phrases), you can practice rhyming these things in different combinations over and over again until those rhyming words are internalized.
