Downbeat Placement

Rhymes

The rhyme is placed on the downbeat (first beat of the measure), where the strongest accent falls.

Plan so rhyming words fall on the first beat. The rhyme must land with the kick drum.

A rhyme on the downbeat is the 'needle drop' — satisfaction of rhyming with rhythm.

Rhyme landing exactly with the kick drum: 'I'm the KING / You can't BRING / ME down'
