The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why subbed rhymes the way it does
Subbed is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 6, additive and subtractive together 37, assonance 4,510, and consonance 48. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Subbed rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
