front matter is everything

not sure what people expect - this won't write your hit song for you. but i write poetry to a beat, and then, setting it aside for a few days, i try to look at it as someone who isn't me. then i approve it -- using this book. the cool thing is, when i'm improving it, i get ideas for completely different things. and the intro about shapping a piece of work is worth it alone.

Easy to use, versatile and fits in your pocket

I mostly write rap, but I also cover other styles, and found this to be great for my hip-hop tunes, and for my other songs, too. It's versatile enough to cover all genres, and is really easy to find stuff quickly. I also like the tips in the front of the book, and the book is small enough for me to stick in my gear bag.

A big help

This book makes it so easy to write lyrics. I've tried other rhyming dictionaries and they are too convoluted. This is one of the best out there.

A Great Help

This was great for me because I always found myself using the same rhymes. It opened things up. It's easy to use, not like other rhyming dictionaries. Sometimes I just get a cool beat going and look through the book randomly and get great ideas on the spot. It probably could have more words in it, but then it'd probably be too big to carry around.
