  • Look at the structure of the text. How is it composed? How many verses are there? Is there a hook or a chorus? 
  • Look at rhymes and alliteration. Are there any rhyme patterns? What types of rhyme do we find in the text (see Characteristics of Rap)?
  • Look at the language. Are there examples of spoken language, slang, metaphors, similes, personification or hyperbole (see Characteristics of Rap)?
  • Consider the tone of the text and whether it uses storytelling or signifying. If it is a story, examine the story that is told. If it is an example of signifying, examine how the rapper degrades his opponent and boasts his own ego (see Characteristics of Rap).
  • Characterise the voice(s) in the text. How does the rapper portray himself/herself and other people?
  • Find the themes and the conflict in the rap (look for opposites). Some typical themes are: identity, violence, racism, drugs, fame, gender, materialism, misogyny, poverty, social injustice, gang life/street life, love, sex, brotherhood, rivalry, homophobia, the big city, the music industry.
  • Use your historical knowledge about rap. Look for references to other rappers and hip hop history.
  • Try to identify the rapper's style (see Characteristics of Rap). Notice the elements s/he uses to assert his/her own originality. For instance, it could be the rapper showing a knowledge about history and culture, using humor, storytelling or gang language.
