Default Concerning Trend I've Noticed

People are confusing a partially capped word in a rhyme scheme with a forced rhyme scheme. Capping part of the word is supposed to show emphasis on that particular syllable of the word to clue you in as to when the rhyme scheme comes again.

(i.e. it's a STUPID MISTAKE how ya proDUCIN A PLAY! You'll never SHOOT W/ A K, if you got "arms goin up in the crowd" you're just DOIN THE WAVE"

Notice how producin is only partially capped? That does not mean it's forced, it just implies emphasis on a syllable for a rhyme scheme.

A forced multi would look like this:

"It's a STUPID MISTAKE how ya proDUCIN A PLAY! You don't SHOOT WITH A K so I'll have ya TUMOR GET BAKED cause if you got "arms goin up in the crowd" you're just DOIN THE WAVE"

See the difference? No one would actually say "TUMOR GET BAKED" in an actual setting of any kind because it's weird and unnatural, which in turn, makes it forced.

Just tryna clear this up before the trend starts to become even worse.

For the same thing I was talking about above or because you were missing a syllable in the rhyme scheme somewhere?

The flip side to that is people will then think that PRO rhymes with something in the rhyme scheme, and then criticize you for capping it when it doesn't.

Just playing Devil's Advocate on that one.

Because the PRO part of the word makes the syllable count off. Thats why you'd type it lower case.

A forced multi would look like this:

See the difference? No one would actually say "TUMOR GET BAKED" in an actual setting of any kind because it's weird and unnatural, which in turn, makes it forced.

Just tryna clear this up before the trend starts to become even worse.

Yes this is completely right.

reEFer was the king at using his capping to walk your through the flow of a verse. capped = emphasis.

Tbh if people would stop reading battles expecting a specific format or style, a lot of guys wording wouldn't be considered strange or bad but typical letsbeef, people read with 1/4 of a brain and dont realize what they're reading.

Like if I wrote in all lowercase people be like "cap your rhymes"

Why because you're stupid? Oh ok let me hold the pacifier to your mouth.

Also this. I hate the whole capping rhyme things in general. If you need rhymes capped to recognize where they are in a verse, you're failing as a reader.
