Words that rhyme with Nigga
The phonetic facts first: nigga is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the flat /æ/, and the line leaves the vowel hanging open. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Engine returns: the strict column is unhelpful here, family rhymes are simply absent, the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Lyric returns: a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why nigga rhymes the way it does
Nigga is built around the short /æ/ (/æ/); it's two-syllable and ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1755, assonance 4,135, and consonance 0. 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. Nigga rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
