Question

What are examples of verses from Rap songs with the artist that show exact rhyme, internal rhyme, end rhyme, and slant rhyme?

Answer 1

Hint: A rhyme in the final stressed syllables and any subsequent syllables of two or more words is repeated with similar sounds (usually, precisely the same sound). This kind of perfect rhyming is most frequently used deliberately in lines within poems or songs for artistic effect.

Complete answer:
"I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I am amazed and astonished / The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish."
Exact rhyme and Internal rhyme:
There, 'astonish' and 'polish' are the exact rhyme, but there is also an internal rhyme with the phrases "brag" and "dag."
Dag is a substitute for 'damn' to create the internal rhyme.
End rhyme:
"Then King George turns around, runs the spending spree,
He ain't ever going to set his descendants free
So there will be the revolution in this century
Enter me!"
This is an excellent example of an end rhyme, considering a rhyme of 'spree,' 'free,' 'century,' and 'me.'
Slant rhyme:
"See, I never thought I would live past twenty
Where I come from some, get half as many."
In this excerpt, 'twenty' and 'many' are not quite a precise/exact rhyme, but they sound similar, which creates a slant rhyme.

Note: There are many different kinds of rhyme from which to select the poet who wishes to compose a rhyming poem. Some are powerful, some more subtle, and all can be employed as the poet sees fit. For example, a rhyming couplet was sometimes used by William Shakespeare to mark the end of a scene in a play.
