you're talking about purely vocalization. I'm talking about the whole package. AND everything you're bringing up is just an extension of rhythm. Cadence ( where the words fall on the rhythm), Syncopation ( same thing more or less).

what I'M talking about is you don't write out a Hip-Hop song on sheet music.
