Favorite Em's Use of Assonance

Postby sbolli1 » Jan 28th, '14, 20:17

For those who don't know what assonance is (You probably do, you just might not realize it's called that), it's basically a repetition of the same vowel sound. So for instance,

We were seen by the police on the street (even though it's technically an "i", it's still got that e sound).

What are some of your guys' favorite lines/verses where Em uses a lot of assonance?

Business has some amazing assonance in the third verse, and it flows so fucking seamlessly.

"Just to get to see an MC who breathes so freely
Ease over these beats and be so breezy
Jesus how can shit be so easy?
How can one Chandra be so Levy?
Turn on these beats, MC's don't see me
Believe me; BET and MTV
Are gonna grieve when we leave dog, fo' sheezy
Can't leave rap alone, the game needs me"

It sucks, too much press I'm stressed
Too much cess, depressed, too upset
It's just too much mess,

does this count?

Eminem's Without Me came to mind:

So the FCC won't let me be
Or let me be me so let me see
They try to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me

No one's more ignorant than you fucking four in the morning
You're at the la-bor-atory, storming like there's nothing that's more important
MC's you better consider this a formal warning, you're in for it"

"So step inside of dementia, the demented side of a mind
That's like the inside of an engine, while I multiply your undivided attention
But be reminded that if I didn't mention, I lose my mind and my temper
You'll be the first one who finds him offensive
Got him climbing the fences, lost some time to addiction
But look up rhyme in the dictio-nary, I'm in the picture
Eminem is the synonym for it, I'm an enigma
Fuck it, let's get to the meat balls, I'm gonna skip the"


Baby's too dope

I'll shove a gun in ya grill
Greasy and heated
Smothered in hot mustard so when I feed it to you it's easy to eat it
You need to be immediately treated
While you breathing or you'll be leaving
The receiving room this evening with Jesus

From a Sway&Tech freestyle he did in like 99. Also the SSLP is full of it.

Every issue there's an 8 page Made Men spread


Slim Shady, a perverted version of birth
Drivin off, leavin the murdered virgin at church
The first person searchin the earth

Could you say bending the word "orange" is a good example of this? Or is that something different

Em has tons of dope ones, but my personal favorite is this line from 3 AM, simply because of how much rhymes he stuffs into a single line. It's fucking crazy.
