Why barack rhymes the way it does
In our engine, barack registers as a two-syllable word on the flat /æ/ (/æ/) that ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 66 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 6,519, and consonance 643. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for barack tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
