Jaz-O was the rapper to pioneer the “triplet flow,” which allows the rapper to flow far beyond sixteen syllables within the four-fourth time signature beat. Being able to add extra syllables to the sixteen multiplies the syllables into twenty-fourths, which makes a triplet of an eighth. Since the 1990s, the triplet rhyme technique has became a common among distinction some of the most respected hip-hop lyricists to date. Several lyricists who are well known for the technique include former apprentice Jay-Z, as well as Twista, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Fu-Schnickens, Spice-1, and Tech N9ne.
