I think rap music ruined my ear for poetry, maybe - I can perceive all these effects when they're highly compressed and intense and obvious. Poetry is too subtle for me - it's much easer for me to 'get' it when it rhymes .

rat-a-tat-tat
drop that, shot that
If you want Buju, man got that, ban and TT smash it and dot that, chop that
dip it, ballistic
Push in my shank and twist it, pebs in cling, that’s Oreo biscuits
Staccato/Legato
I was about to theorise about the death of legato and then I happened to put on that new Schoolboy Q song with Travis Scott singing 'Chopsticks' - and I realised that autotune is legato.
But then you've got Migos et al flowing largely in staccato monosyllables...
The balaclava in drill - obviously about disguising identity, and of course the slang is all code, but
So is the STYLE. The style obscures individuality (at least to the outsider), whereas grime emphasised individuality.
It obscures punchlines, wit, education, etc.
Individuals subsumed to crews and postcodes.
the sinister line here is

pull out
ejaculate on her breasts
