Why renegade rhymes the way it does
Renegade is built around the rising /eษช/ (/a/); it's three-syllable and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 102, assonance 13,185, 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. Renegade rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
