In rapping and poetry, multisyllabic rhymes (also known as compound〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 87.〕〔http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/reviewsmusic/archive/2009/11/04/22011446.aspx〕〔Eminem, with Sacha Jenkins, 2008, ''The Way I Am'', Dutton Adult, p. 17.〕〔Eminem, 2004, 'Yellow Brick Road', Encore, Aftermath/Shady, Interscope.〕 rhymes, polysyllable〔〔Anderson, Linda, 2006, ''Creative Writing: A Workbook with Readings'', Taylor & Francis, p. 235.〕〔Hogg, Richard M., et al., 1998, ''The Cambridge History of the English Language'', Cambridge University Press, p. 625.〕 rhymes, and sometimes colloquially in hip-hop as multies〔) are rhymes that contain two or more syllables〔〔Yoshida, Minoru, 1952, ''Word-Music in English Poetry '', ''The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism'', Vol. 11, No. 2, Special Issue on Oriental Art and Aesthetics, Blackwell Publishing on behalf of The American Society for Aesthetics, pp. 151-159.〕 An example is as follows: Touch her not ''scornfully'', / Think of her ''mournfully''.〔 Multisyllabic rhyme is used extensively in hip-hop, is considered a hallmark of complex and advanced rapping,〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 87-91.〕 and artists are often praised for their multisyllabic rhymes by critics〔Shapiro, Peter, 2005, ''The Rough Guide To Hip-Hop, 2nd Edition'', Penguin, p. 213.〕 and fellow rappers.〔〔 This is in contrast to its use in the majority of other forms of poetry, where multisyllabic rhyme is rarely used, apart from in comic verse where it is used for comic effect〔 by poets such as Ogden Nash.〔 ==Usage in Hip-Hop== The book ''How to Rap'' breaks multisyllabic rhymes down extensively.〔 In it, Kool G Rap gives an example of this kind of rhyme, rhyming "random luck" with "handsome fuck" and "vans and trucks".〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 88.〕 Other examples in the book include two syllable rhymes such as rhyming “indo” with “Timbo”〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 100.〕 and rhymes with irregular numbers of syllables such as “handle it” and “candle to it”.〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 99.〕 ''How to Rap'' shows that multisyllabic rhymes are used by the following artists: Big L, Big T, Black Thought, Canibus, Common, Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch, Inspectah Deck,〔 Big Daddy Kane,〔 Kool G Rap,〔 Rakim, 〔 Eminem,〔 Big Pun,〔 Arrested Development,〔 Masta Ace,〔 Lady of Rage,〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 89.〕 Snoop Dogg,〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 90.〕 Jay-Z,〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 91.〕 Beastie Boys,〔 Esoteric of 7L & Esoteric,〔 Game,〔 Busta Rhymes,〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 103.〕 Method Man,〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 108.〕 Nas,〔 and MF DOOM,〔Edwards, Paul, 2009, ''How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC'', Chicago Review Press, p. 109.〕 although there are many more not specified throughout the book. Multisyllabic rhymes are one of several rhyming devices which have increased in usage throughout the history of rapping,〔Krims, Adam, 2001, ''Rap Music And The Poetics Of Identity'', Cambridge University Press, p. 49.〕 along with such devices as internal rhymes and offbeat rhymes.〔 Music scholar Adam Krims, writing in 2001, noted the following artists as exemplifying the increased complexity in rhyming, including use of multisyllabic rhyming: “members of the Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, AZ, Big Pun, Ras Kass, and Elzhi, just to name a few”.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Multisyllabic rhymes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
