Yeah, I'm talking B', n****, I'm talking me
Yeah, I'm talking bossy, I ain't talking Kelis
Your money too short, you can't be talking to me
Yeah I'm talking LeBron, we ball in our family tree
G.O.O.D. Music drug-dealing cousin, ain't nothing f***** with we
Me turn that 62 to 125, 125 to a 250
250 to a half a million, ain't nothin' nobody can do with me, now who with me?
¡Vámonos! Call me Hov or Jefe
Translation, I'm the s***, least that what my neck say
Least that what my check say, lost my homie for a decade
N**** down for like 12 years, ain't hug his son since second grade
He never told, who we gon' tell, we top of the totem pole
It's the Dream Team meets the Supreme Team
And all our eyes green it only means one thing
You ain't f****** with my clique
Jay Z's verse in Clique uses an abundance of perfect end rhyme. He changes words to fit his rhyme scheme. It also becomes multisyllabic as he builds off of his original pattern of "talking". He uses a lot of internal rhyme to truly get his point across. With the use of numbers he continues to carry out his rhyming. Towards the end of his verse he uses slant rhyme with words such as, "neck say, decade, and second grade." I chose this song because it is by three amazing hiphop artists in my opinion and I knew that they would execute rhyme perfectly.
