It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Take the lyric role separately and it's a word that wants concrete rhymes to ground it. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why equipment rhymes the way it does
Equipment is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the mid /ษ/, then it lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 66, assonance 12,978, and consonance 2. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Equipment rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
