Why pimp rhymes the way it does
The phonology of pimp is a one-syllable core: the high /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 67, assonance 10,986, and consonance 84. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Pimp is a word that benefits from the second pass.
