INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Different rhyming schemes are available to rappers, from AABB to AXXA. These rhyming styles dictate which words rhyme in your lyrics. Study them and develop your rhyming versatility. Most verses in rap songs are "16 bars" or 4 sets of 4 lines of lyrics in a song. Start with simple rhyming schemes like ABAB and build up to include more complex rhymes. An example of an ABAB rhyme is "That cat, over there, in the hat, on the bear." The last word in the first and third lines rhyme as well as the last word in the second and fourth line. Some rhymes are known as half-rhymes if they have similar sounding ending consonant sounds but do not fully rhyme. An example would be "bald" and "held." Some artists get so complex and into their art that they forget that it must also appeal to the general audience. As you build up your lyrical skills, make sure to keep the listener in mind and don't get too fancy or else you may lose fans. Taking risks are a part of being a popular artist, but sometimes you can lose fans if they don't like the direction you're going in. Just because a song is catchy does not mean that it has to lack substance. The hook is the part of the song that is often repeated and is the portion of the track that's usually most remembered by fans. For other genres of music, this is typically referred to as the chorus. Having a good hook in a song is incredibly important if you want it to be popular. The hook should be catchy, memorable, and should embody the song. A popular hook from the past is Chamillionaire's "Ridin Dirty." "They see me rollin', they hatin', Patrollin' and tryna catch me ridin' dirty. Tryna catch me ridin' dirty." If you aren't a singer or aren't good with hooks, consider collaborating with an R&B singer who would be better equipped. Think of something that helps support the verses in your songs. Regardless of how popular or famous you get, it's important to stay on the top of your game. Rapping is a skill that requires discipline and practice so make sure to regularly practice to work out your rapping abilities. Take every opportunity to show other people your songs and get feedback. Practice in front of the mirror, while you're in the car, or taking a walk.

SUMMARY: Master the various rhyming schemes that exist. Build up your rhyming ability but keep it catchy. Have the ability to deliver a good hook. Never stop practicing to stay sharp on your wordplay.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Add one part acid, one part oil, one part aromatics and salt and/or sugar to taste. The following are excellent ingredients to use in marinades: The best acids for meat are vinegar, lemon juice lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. If you use soy sauce, don't add extra salt, since it is a main ingredient in the sauce. The best oils are neutral oils, like canola oil and olive oil. Granulated sugar or honey adds sweetness and also encourages a brown color and caramel taste. Use aromatics like crushed garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, ginger, bay leaf or steak seasoning. Paprika, chili pepper and jalapenos or other fresh peppers are perfect for a spicy, smoky flavor. Grab a spoon and taste a small amount. The marinade should taste good before it goes on the beef, since the majority of the marinade will stay in the first few cm of the surface. The enzymes penetrate the meat and help tenderize it if used for two hours or less. Turn the beef to coat it entirely. The longer the beef is marinated, the more intense the flavor will be.
Summary: Mix your marinade. Whisk the marinade together. Consider replacing lime, lemon or vinegar with fresh pineapple or kiwi juice if your meat is very tough. Pour the marinade into the plastic bag or bowl. Place it in the refrigerator for no less than two hours and no more than 24 hours.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To make a large living room more livable and less intimidating, create two or more distinct sections. Backless or low-backed sofas, especially L-shaped ones, are excellent for dividing a room without blocking line of sight or creating odd, tall distractions in the center of the space. Dividing a large rectangular space into two squares often improves its appearance, as square spaces are almost always more appealing to the eye. You can use one or more sections for other purposes as though they weren't part of your living room, although the overall color scheme should match. An extra large ottoman is better than a coffee table for making a large space between couches or chairs feel cozy. A small couch will feel out of place in a large room, so replace a larger one or buy a second matching one and angle them slightly toward each other to form one side of your furniture arrangement. If all your paintings or wall hangings are small, place them in groups to make a large, pleasing arrangement that fills visual space. Tapestries tend to be larger and cheaper than paintings. An indoor potted plant you're willing to care for can add color and visual interest where there used to be empty space. Decorative figurines, sculptures, or ceramics draw attention to a smaller scale. Don't clutter the table so much it becomes unusable, however; one to four pieces on each one is sufficient. If you're interested in a complete redesign, using rich colors, wainscoting, or multiple colors to make the space less bare. Drawing attention to the walls makes your guests feel encompassed by the space in an intimate environment.
Summary:
Use large, low furnishings to divide the room. If your room is too small to divide comfortably, fill space with oversize furniture. Use large wall art or multiple smaller pieces. Add tall house plants to fill corners and bare areas. Place accessories on tables. Paint or decorate the walls and ceiling.
