wc-drs - the midland emcee rhyme scheme regional page كلمات الأغنية

the midwest is probably the most confounding region out of the 4 in the u.s., in terms of going by geopolitics and defining exactly “where” it is in the country. except, it shouldn’t have been called “midwest”, as by location that makes things really inaccurate and does a disservice to misrepresenting the indigenous styles from there. it’s directly in the “middle”, and not additionally being in any other diagonal point on the comp-ss. so, to do away with locale semantics, i’ll be referring to the “midwest”, as the “midland” region from now on

you’ll have emcees taking slight inspiration from the other 3 regions: with examples such as, firstly da brat (a chicago native) taking a g-funk styled, west coast production. secondly, elzhi (a detroit native) having a mainly east coast appeal. thirdly, nelly (a st. louis native) sounding like he’s from just a few 100-300 miles below in the south.
regardless of regional affiliations, they have something distinctively “midland” about them, as given their inflection and how they all rhyme. when you really hear it and read for yourself, they do not bear any resemblance to the to aforementioned regions they take some bits of influence from, when -n-lyzing the rhyming styles the 3 have. this is because while their accents may sound “regionally dislocated”, their slang, dialect and inflection, as well as overall vocal delivery, are still tied to the whereabouts that each of them hail from. as the overlap is more of a thing they occasionally have as a revealing minor influence, not what majorly comprises their selves as individual, midland emcees.

furthermore, in their rhyme schemes (along with countless others that will be broken down in this region: black milk, slug from atmosphere, common, freddie gibbs, shawnna, royce, etc.), have certain things they do with their flow, lyricism and technical rhyming will highlight things that are more in commonality between themselves, you won’t find in the other regions. these emcees also have the highest rhyme densities, 2nd biggest vocabularies (east coast takes the lead) per regional capita, longest amount of syllables in sentences by average (25-35 on even a single line, only possible when rapped with a triple-time flow) most technically astonishing rhyme schemes and peculiar lexicon, and seemingly, almost inhuman breath control. not to mention, they have fastest and most clear cut, enunciated cadences in rap, being the origin of “chopper rap”: a style made popular and local to the region by tech n9ne (a kansas city native), twista (a chicago native) and bones thugs n’ harmony (all cleveland natives). to this day, no one is certain whom of the 3 began it, as there was even beef between them on who really brought it to prominence. though as one of their many hallmarks, expect even midland emcees who don’t “chop” on a track. only for them to do it every once and while to catch you off guard, showing that they acknowledge their official trademark of the region, being a tradition

the midland is the newest of the regions to have relevance, mainstream success, and a formidable presence in the hip-hop culture. which means this page will be difficult in continually proving what makes them “midland” as a musical whole, as there isn’t any one solidifying sound, and new ones being made up every decade since the mid 90’s. but, there’s still an ident-ty that you can find amidst any of them, you really won’t find anywhere else, with the region’s “local ambiguity” among other characteristics

so it shall start with the state that was first put on the map, as a contested place that took awhile to gain buzz and make their stamp officially now in the culture, that today is still running the scene, i’m talking about no other than illinois. chicago has to have the most diversity in the region, as no 2 emcees sound alike just in that one city, in any way

illinois (chicago, joliet, etc.)
chicago:

common
rhymefest (pure chicago, god d-mn, kanye f-cked up his chances at having a career, d-mn shame.)
twista (him and common have the biggest influence, impact and relevance on not just over all of latter chicago emcees but everyone else from the midland as well, i’ll explain why later on. rappers who trying to be emcees from the chi are either mostly biting one of them, or both.)
shawnna (has immigrated relatives from mississippi and other southern states like most chicagoans)
ludacris (before permanently moving to atlanta with his parents as a teenager, his music career began there. he is mainly a southern emcee by heart, but he still has “midland roots” in his entire style. so his section will be shorter on this main page than everyone else’s, as he obviously identifies with being southern)
kanye (ironically has the same backstory as ludacris, just switch the cities around. west however, never sounded southern one time in his career, which makes him an exception)
lupe (most lyrically, technically and topically accomplished emcee and songwriter from there, nuff’ said)

joilet:

da brat (most ferocious, confrontational, rambunctious, stubborn female from that city, ever, let alone the rest of the region)
