Why hip rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for hip starts at the vowel โ the short /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 114 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 101, assonance 6,996, and consonance 439. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Hip works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
