JID & Bas – Fried Rice // Lyrics, Flow, and Rhyme Analysis

Verseplay presents: a rhyme and flow analysis of JID’s and Bas’ Fried Rice.

What’s with the bars on the left side?

Verseplay makes videos that try to visualize the artistry that selected lyricists put into their music. The bars on the left are there to visualize the flow of this verse. The length of each bar symbolizes how long the artist stays on the syllable. The shorter the bar, the quicker the artist says the syllable and vice versa. It also helps to show the rhyme scheme in a digestible manner.

Why are some of the syllables highlighted?

The highlights are there to emphasize the rhymes each syllable has. If syllables share the same color, that means they rhyme.

What criteria go into deciding whether or not two syllables rhyme?

The syllables share the same vowel sound (and don’t have to be strict rhymes which would include sharing the same consonant)
The syllables are placed within 1-2 bars of each other
Help contribute to the “rhyme pattern”

Why do you make these videos?

Verseplay exists to celebrate the artistry that goes into hip-hop. These videos are meant to visualize the complex rhymes and flows our favorite lyricists use but eventually, I want Verseplay to be a platform that shines a light on slept on lyricists that are coming up. Verseplay analyzes popular songs in the hopes of growing the channel so that future collaborations with indie artists get more attention.
