Despite its crucial importance to the art form, rhyme has been markedly undertheorized within the recent proliferation of otherwise sophisticated analytical approaches to rap music. The conception of rhyme in rap scholarship has been dominated by the conventional model inherited from the study of poetry, resulting in analyses that insufficiently capture the depth and complexity with which emcees manipulate speech sounds for musical purposes. This dissertation seeks to correct this deficit by reformulating a cohesive musical theory of rhyme that treats speech sounds as musical materials. Chapter 1 lays the groundwork for understanding the current state of rap music theory and the need to improve how the field as a whole approaches rhyme. Chapters 2 and 3 present an exhaustive review of previous scholarship on rhyme in rap and other popular music, and the variety of methods deployed by present scholars, including several detailed critiques of their published rhyme analyses. Chapter 4 presents my original theory of musical phonology, distilling the musically relevant aspects of speech sounds and developing a new model for conceptualizing and visualizing lyrics as music, including an original form of notation designed to capture the musical quality of lyrics called Lyric Notation. Chapter 5 applies the lessons of the previous chapters and reconsiders the concept of rhyme in rap through a musical lens, redefining rhyme as a musical technique. It then provides a cohesive taxonomy for the elements of rhyme with a system of concepts and associated terminology that can be used to describe with precision any type of lyrical rhyme structure. Next, the chapter presents my hierarchical musical theory of rhyming structures and techniques in rap, defining the essential distinction between schematic and sporadic rhyming styles and identifying rap's most essential structural design: the couplet. Finally, a series of visual analyses using Lyric Notation demonstrate a new methodology for analyzing the role of rhyme in rap music, outlining some ways rappers employ rhyme as a critical structural component of their music.
