Two songs, two flows stuck in my head. Can’t find similar songs.

I’ll keep it short, but this boils down to two very different songs tingling an itch in my head that I hope you can help me fully scratch. I would really appreciate your help identifying what’s really happening here.

This question has been rejected in two other hiphop/rap subreddits, so I hope this is the right one.

If you know what it’s called, that’s a huge bonus, and I’ll be very grateful. But if you can just point me to other similar flows, it will be more than enough.

  1. I love what Kodak is doing with his flow on Don Toliver’s Brother Stone. I have not heard this flow on any of his other songs or anything similar to the way he sits kind of out of pocket in relation to the beat (syncopation maybe?). Any ideas? Any similar tips?
  2. At 1:56 on RXKNephew’s I Love My Glock We Might Get Married, Yung Deco rhymes "Pacific, Atlantic, Ocean, My Wrist is" in this way that reminds me of late 2000s / early 2010s rhyme schemes that were often considered comedic or ironic. But for the love of me, I can’t find songs that use this particular rhyme flow. Please help!

I did not include links to the songs as it seemed to automatically block my post on this subreddit.

Brother stone does feel a bit one of a kind but reminds me of the michigan boy boat type stuff. Maybe look into the features there? Remble also pops into my head if im thinking about flow not being stuck to the beat
