within the bar before a punchline?
the answer is yes if the wording is right and it flows effectively & the punchline is stronger than the lead in bar, word placement and flow is important when attempting this & is where most people are gonna fuck it up, it can be done but mosta the time it'll end up getting butchered because its a result of people trying to cram two plays together when in reality they may not work well back-to-back, a set-up thats filler-ish can be alot more effective than a forced punch into a punch usually, trying to cram too much in a "bar" is a common mistake but rule of thumb quality is usually > quanity, so don't bother trying to force a weaker punch into the set-up for another if you find you have to force it in by either forcing the rhymes or fucking up the structure/wording cuz it'll hurt the effectiveness of the punchline
