Why dis rhymes the way it does
To understand why dis rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 33 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 69, assonance 10,143, and consonance 423. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With dis, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
