...that is, the 'mini-speed raps', but if im not mistaken, they call that 'double-time'...i just never understoond why 100%.
as far as the poetical effects...
• simile: a comparison using "as" or "like" e.g., "as a great elm wallows before the storm." • metaphor: a comparison not using as or like when one thing is said to be another. • hyperbole: exaggeration for dramatic effect e.g., "all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this (murderer's) hand". • oxymoron: a seeming contradiction in two words put together: "parting is such sweet sorrow." • paradox: seeming contradiction that surprises by its pithiness. • onomatopoeia: "sound echoing sense"; use of words resembling the sounds they mean, e.g., biz buzz, humming, pant and puff. • personification: attribution of human motives or behaviours to impersonal agencies. • alliteration: the deliberate repetition of consonant sounds, e.g., "Build, build your Babels!" • assonance: deliberate repetition of identical or similar vowel sounds: "the tread of the feet of the dead". • transferred epithet: surprising association of adjective and noun e.g., "with half closed cynic eyes." • apostrophe: an address to a person absent or dead or to an abstract entity: e.g., "Death where is thy sting?" • antithesis: balanced contrast for special effect: e.g., "Lord of all things, yet prey to all." • echo: repetition of key word or idea for effect. • cadence: a sequence of sounds achieving a falling effect. • rhyming couplet: a pair of lines which end-rhyme expressing one clear thought. • epigram, aphorism: pithy or witty saying. • ellipsis: a circumlocution, a round-about way of expressing something. • euphemism: more favourable alternative name for an unpleasant or ugly thing or event. • litotes: saying something positive by using two negatives, e.g., he's no mug. • diction: poet's distinctive choices in vocabulary. • rhyme: repetition of same sounds. • rhythm: internal 'feel' of beat and meter perceived when poetry is read aloud. • tone, mood, atmosphere: feelings or meanings conveyed in the poem; dominant feeling. • pathetic fallacy: a transfer of human feelings onto impersonal agencies; taking advantage of coincidence to suggest causal link between feeling and event, e.g., stormy Nature mourns the death of a king."As the moon is lonely in the sky, lonely is the bush and lonely I" (Esson).
