Umbrella by Jay-Z and Rihanna is a love song… I think. Throughout the song I found many techniques that Jay-Z and Rihanna used. I had to read it multiple times in order to find them though. When I first heard this song, which was a long time ago, I didn't even notice all of the great poetry techniques used; now I have a new appreciation for this great song.
Throughout the song there is plenty of slant rhyme. Also there is a strong use of assonance with the a sound and the s and sh sounds. It took me a while to realize that any of these techniques even existed throughout the song. I also notice the use of euphony and cacophony in it, I don't think I've seen a poem/song with the use of both of these wonderful techniques or maybe I have and just didn't realize but they work well together.
