big hip hop head here. i think hip hop in languages other than english is really interesting because a lot of conventional style is probably tied to the way english words/rhythms work. for example older poetry in different languages dont use the same meter because not all meters are suitable to every language (e.g. dactylic hexameter is very common in ancient latin poetry but not in english). i wonder how this is visible especially as foreign hip hop scenes develop further and become more independent from american styles.
That's fascinating and the particular meter is something I never thought much about with regards to music and poetry in different languages. The rhyming and structure is definitely true to some extent in Korean music (esp kpop/rap/hip hop) — hard to say if it's just because ive been paying more attention, but I've noticed a lot more use of assonance in line endings than you get in English. Definitely seems like it would be more obvious and easier to come up with using hangul instead of the latin character set at any rate.

The rap in the music video OP posted has both beginning-line and end-line rhymes, overlapping in the same verse.
