HOW TO FORM A PUNCHLINE.

2
Once you figure out what you want to say, you have to be able to fit it into the beat. You can learn this technique from my previous post “Translating speech into Bars”. In order for your punchline to have the biggest impact possible, you have to think about the structure. It’s always better to restrict yourself from the use of too many rhymes. The truth is that when you try to squeeze in too many rhymes, the content gets watered and the effect is diminished. Better to use one of the simpler bar structures. Something along the lines of 4-4 or a 2-4-2-4. If you don’t know what the bar structure looks like, I will come up with a post which describes bar structure into much details. Once you have the punchline written, the next thing you have to do, is thing about the way you’re going to say it (the delivery). You have to make sure that you portray the right type of emotion connected to the words, this is very important. Otherwise, you won’t achieve the desired effect. Look at the punchline, figure out what type of emotion does it portray and then relate to it, feel it and experiment. Whatever sounds best, use it.
