5. FEATURES The beat of rap is usually four by four. At its core rhythm, rap lyrics, instead of a bar of 4 / 4 (as in other musical styles, where the song keeps the beat), is based on a count of 3, similar to a "swing" found in jazz hits. However, rap is taking this concept one step further. While the rhythm of jazz involves three eighths notes (a trio) for blow, rap is double: 6 / 16 (a "double trio") per hit. As the emphasis is more often played (or up) in a relaxed way.
