Writing a Rap Song

Hip Hop Song: The song can be about any topic of your choosing,(Hustling) but it should be inspired by something we read this semester. The only requirements for song is that it be16 bars (lines) long and should incorporate rhyme patterns that we learned with Mickey Factz. The song should include a perfect rhyme (words that rhyme perfectly), slant rhyme (words that don’t rhyme perfectly but our pronunciation makes them rhyme), and a reflector rhyme (a compound word that rhymes with itself).

Explanation of the song (500 words): In this section you should explain what reading(s) the song connects to and how. You should identify the focal point, perfect rhyme, slant rhyme, and reflector rhymes within the song. You will be graded on how well you explain the connection between your song and the course readings and your ability to identify the rhyme patterns you used.
