    That's more of a post-millennial phenomenon, isn't it? I'm thinking Dipset.

    Nah, I'm thinking Juvenile. Rhyming huh in the late nineties.

    I'm saying B, only because I know a lot of folks who actually do say "shevel" (cf. "rernt" instead of "ruined").b, 21b, 21Rhyming "cornea" with "hornier"b, 21b, 21b/wb, 21b, 21Rhyming "cornea" with "runnin' up on ya"

    b, 21In your homepiece MC Hammer's British Knights commercial back in ninety-whatever, I'm pretty sure he turned it out with "This is a mission / that I'm [i]on/i1 / Sportin' BKs / got it goin' [i]on/i1." A head who was ahead, clearly.b, 21b, 21King Just's "Warrior's Drum" has that verse where he rhymes "shit" with "shit" quite a bit (oh shit--that rhymed!).

    A sentimental favorite that I've mentioned previously: Rhyming "metal pipe" with "pedal-bike."

    b, 21I don't know if that really counts, though, because the words [i]before/i1 "huh"/"ha" also rhyme with each other (e.g. "Benz, ha?" 2 "friends, ha?").

    I remember a metallica "lyric" that does that...that always got harsher treatment (white liberal guilt, and all that...)b, 21b, 21I just read a preview of Large Pro coming to town, in the local "alternative weekly." Dude claims that Extra P is a decent-enough rapper and great producer (which with I agree). He tells the yutes to listen to the Main Source album to prove the beats part...this is okay. Then, to back up his assertion that dude's a good rapper, he cites "...I dont wanna ill, I just wannachill, and wrap my hands around a hundred dollar bill..." I laughed out loud, because that's always been one of the most cringe-worthy lines around, in my opinion.b, 21b, 21I know it doesn't fit the criteria, but yeah um.b, 21b, 21People always get on dipset for rhyming their penultimate words, as if that's their biggest mistake. I like it; it's a legit rhymeskeem wtf

    oh: and I say "A."

    I f[i]/i1ucking hate hate [i]hate/i1 Large Professor as a rapper, so much so that it's always been really hard for me to consider [i]Breaking Atoms/i1 a classic. "It's grim / but dead is my antonym"? Gack. That shit makes me want to clock him in the head with some big space shoes.

    Man SS ALWAYS comes through with the most hilarious opinions on rappers. Fools on here were talking about CL SMOOTH being a bad rapper. WRONG.b, 21b, 21You really don't like Breaking Atoms because the rapping is bad? Really?b, 21b, 21b, 21....really?

  • dukeofdelridgedukeofdelridge urgent.monkey.mice 2,453 Posts
    and don't forget the amazingly bad forced-acronyms...b, 21b, 21or when you got too clever for your own good and made a whole song only using horse-racing jockeynames or some shit...or your alphabet song gets blown up when you say your Z-word wrong...b, 21b, 21I love it all!

    i wouldn't go so far as to say i HATE them, but i agree that some of Large Prof's rhymes were weak on that 1st LP. Still like the LP though.

    b, 21b, 21It being "hard for me to consider Breaking Atoms a classic" is not the same as me not liking it, dude. I like it well enough, just not as much as I'm told I oughta.b, 21b, 21You really like LP's rapping on that record, then?

    I have no problem with people stretching words around to rhyme however which way you thought they weren't spose to go together. Language is a living, constantly changing thing. There is no correct English, only different standards.b, 21b, 21My only exception is when people do that "that's my senarrio, oops excuse me, my scenario." It was kinda clever when Bun B did it the first time, but mispronouncing something to make it rhyme, and then doing this "oops excuse me" shit is no longer clever. Run with your mispronunciation, or think of a word that you actually think rhymes. This irks me every time.
