[TOMT] [MUSIC] A (Sometimes Derogatory) Term For A Specific Style of Rap Music

Pending

Hi guys, I've been trying to remember the name of this style of rap for a while but no such luck.

It's basically characterized by finishing a line/bar/lyric with something that is an example of what your line was about. Here's a couple of examples.

Nicki Minaj - Roman's Revenge:

"You wanna sleep on me, overnight

I'm the motherfuckin boss, overwrite

And when I pull off, vroom, motorbike

Now all my niggas getting bucked, overbite"

Drake - Forever:

"In your city, faded off the brown, Nino

She insist she got more class, we know

Swimmin' in the money, come and find me, Nemo

If I was at the club, you know I balled, chemo"

My mind thinks name of the style was something like "alphabet rap" or some other term in a similar-ish vein.
