Rhymes more fresher than a virgin in a 'frigerator.
Lord Finesse
Image
Rhymes, meters, stanza forms, etc., are like servants. If the master is fair enough to win their affection and firm enough to command their respect, the result is an orderly happy household. If he is too tyrannical, they give notice if he lacks authority, they become slovenly, impertinent, drunk and dishonest.
W. H. Auden
Image
Rhymes with push-koo I always say it sounds like a breakfast cereal.
Eliza Dushku
Image
The monotony of a long heroic poem may often be pleasantly relieved by judicious interruptions in the perfect successions of rhymes, just as the metre may sometimes be adorned with occasional triplets and Alexandrines.
H. P. Lovecraft
Image
In my song you catch at times Note sweeter far than mine, And in the tangle of my rhymes Can scent the eglantine.
Alfred Austin
Image
I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.
Ice T
Image
Yes, I know. Death sits with his key in my lock. Not one day is taken for granted. Even nursery rhymes have put me in hock.
Anne Sexton
Image
I write rhymes with addition and algebra, mental geometry.
Ice T

For the young Gaels of Ireland Are the lads that drive me mad, For half their words need footnotes And half their rhymes are bad.
Arthur Guiterman
Image
Half the rhymes you write, you're saying that you're better than the other MC. That's how we keep the craft sharp.
Ice T
Image
Save your wack rhymes, hold your female. Pass the Old Gold, trash the ale. Cash your food stamps, get the WIC out the mail. Love to eat shrimps, but I never eat snail, Eat a whole fish except for the tail. Keep food in the fridge so it don't get stale, And when there's nothing to eat...I bite my nails.
Big Daddy Kane
Image
My fans love me for me, my beats, my rhymes.
J. Cole
Image
I know Busta Rhymes for about a year now and we did a song together and we got an album together which is called Godzilla vs. King Kong, which is going to be me and Busta. That was really the first time we rocked together on stage.
Bone Crusher
Image
The basic rhymes in English are masculine, which is to say that the last syllable of the line is stressed: lane rhymes with pain, but it also rhymes with urbane since the last syllable of urbane is stressed. Lane does not rhyme with methane.
James Fenton
Image
Enough of satire in less harden'd times Great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes. I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave, Who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave Whose souls have felt more terrible alarms From her one line, than from a world in arms.
Charles Churchill
Image
I have a lot of interest in interior rhyming not just rhyming at the end of the lines, but playing around with rhymes within the lines, playing with where the syllabic emphases in the sentences are, lining those up at strange moments in the line of the song. I’m not sure if that comes across or not.
Joanna Newsom
Image
I appreciate this moment in time...ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes
Common
Image
Now between the meanings of words and their sounds there is ordinarily no discoverable relation except one of accident and it is therefore miraculous, to the mystic, when words which make sense can also make a uniform objective structure of accents and rhymes.
John Crowe Ransom
Image
Toasting is basically what you call rapping. It came off of playing the beats at the parties, however it be. You find a space in the beat, and you have somebody live just basically saying rhymes over the beat.
Damian Marley
Image
No sooner had I stepp'd into these pleasures Than I began to think of rhymes and measures: The air that floated by me seem'd to say 'Write! thou wilt never have a better day.
John Keats
Image
I'm more into beats than rhymes.
David Gallagher
Image
Lehman uses many conveyances—including the prose poem, the sestina, and curt rhymes—to travel across the writing life of a poet whose instinctive romanticism is always bracing and tough-minded, brimming with a rare generosity.
Ken Tucker
Image
I'd always written rhymes but I was scared to share them. They stayed on paper or in my head, until I started going to watch battles and eventually thought to myself, I'm definitely as good as some of these guys, and maybe even better than them.
Doc Brown
Image
I'd rather make one righteous dollar on my level Than make a million dollars spittin' rhymes for the devil.
