In early May I gave a talk at TEDxNavesink in New Jersey, entitled “A Brief History of Rhyme,” detailing the emergence of polysyllabic rhyme patterns in both hip-hop and traditional literature. The talk was based on ideas I explored in the prologue to The Rap Canterbury Tales, published in 2006 by Talon Books. You can watch the TEDx Talk below.
