I don’t know how old the term “slant rhyme” is, but it predates the hip hop by decades. It was a term tossed about in my English classes quite a bit back in the Disco Era–and it was old then. But that just shows how deep a river you have tapped with this site.

Nice! Now I feel like an idiot for thinking it might be British. That adwords tool is awesome, hey? It’s like peering into the human soul.

The real question is whether I should re-purpose the writing on this site to be all about slant rhymes, to try and draw in these slant rhyme searchers.

i think hip hop and rap might just be the culprit there man. like no one called a shorus a chorus anymore, they call it a “hook.”

‘slant rhyme’ is a common and hotly debated term in hiphop. It’s nice to see a site i can CLEARLY point to and say “SEE!”
