i hear people voice their dislike for "slant" rhyming, but i think that type of rhyming sounds better than traditional rhyme does .. it allows for more natural flow when youre reading .. if you pronounce second and Mecca firmly they wont rhyme or even sound related .. but when i read this verse those 2 words didnt even come close to standing out .. i knew that they matched and it flowed effortlessly .. dont get so hung up on technicalities
the WP is a different story .. but as for those multies ... those are totally fine.. Daddio "slant rhymes" like a madman but also flows the best on the site. half his shit doesnt "rhyme" .. that doesnt mean his verse is "wrong" .. it flows perfectly without rhyming perfectly

edit: not suggesting that big names dont make mistakes and have room for improvement .. i just think that this particular example isnt the greatest for making that argument

I'm pretty sure I told @Corporate EtH the exact same thing on IM about second/Mecca the other day
