Why kick rhymes the way it does
Kick sits on the tight /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 55 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 68, assonance 8,447, and consonance 614. 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 kick tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
