      Though most commonly used with reference to rapping/MCing to a beat, how an artist plays with the [acoustics] or meaning of words for artistic effect within song, written verse, poem or freestyle
      This includes the constructing of bars/lines with:
      words of double/triple meaning for humour or effect.
      words that are not obviously recognisable as rhymes to one another when pronounced correctly yet may share [assonance] and there for can be used in place of standard rhymes structurally with in a verse.

      [Wordplay] is one of the technical areas that can be assessed when judging how technically skilled an rapper/MC is.
      Pharaohe [Monch],Big L,Big Pun, Eminem are some examples of MCs whose work can be particually rich in [wordplay].
