Why solid rhymes the way it does
The phonology of solid is a two-syllable core: the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 7,204, and consonance 297. 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. 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 solid tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
