Curious as 2Fuel complained about my vote on the finals battle.. imo even with accent its still wrong..accents can be lost over time but the original English pronunciation(as would be written out in a dictionary) stays the same.

"Original English" Pronunciation is something that is nonexistent in Northern America.
What i find funny is even now, at this stage, 13/14 years of LB and fuckers still saying "That doesn't rhyme when i read it"... as if i've not got the basics of writing down already lol.
Ya'll pronounce things completely differently than we do over here... so who's correct? Both lol. Ya gotta stop expecting folks to write how you pronounce words.
Whats more is that it isn't even a mad reach or stretch as the 'ULL' of both words were utilised in the scheme they were in.

Open up your Merriam Webster app and listen to the chick or dude pronounce every word.
Sure they sound REAL CLOSE . Off by a hair but its not a complete rhyme.
That one day when you said "Book" and "Buck" rhymed, I knew we were dealing with heavy accents

I'm not talking about hip hop songs specifically. As everyone in here mentioned, in audio text battling, etc you can get away with it but overall, is it an ACTUAL rhyme? No its not. We just let certain words slide when it comes to hip hop and battling. Thats why we refer to them as slants.

If Americans on the site get away with rhyming wheel/kill, and also wordplays like pin/pen, then 2FUEL deserves to have pulling/skulling. Does it rhyme? Not in my accent. Could it easily rhyme in someone else's accent? Yes. That being said, accent-leeway can only go so far before shit starts getting out of hand. I know that book/buck rhymes in an Irish accent, but the words are so clearly different that its FUEL's responsibility to not go there.
I've had the same thing, for instance slant/aren't and stand/hanged rhyme (or are at least assonant) in my accent but most North Americans won't buy it. imo if the vowels are the same (i.e. pull/skull or stand/hanged) then it makes sense they could rhyme in someone else's accent, so you should give them the benefit of the doubt. If the words are spelt and pronounced nothing alike (book/buck) then unless you can easily and directly imagine how they'd be pronounced to rhyme, I think its fair enough to criticise the rhyme.
NOTE: Wordplay is a bit different. In a wordplay the two words should sound near- or completely-identical, so I think much less leeway should be given, and if you're going to attempt a wordplay, write it to work in a commonly-known accent.

Word... though, over here. We pronounce 'book' as 'buck'. We don't say bOOOOOOk... *The 'buck' i'm reading is pretty good*... It's how it's pronounced over here. I've never heard anyone, ever pronounce 'book' with an "Ewww" stretch on the oo's in it.

Whats more is that it isn't even a mad reach or stretch as the 'ULL' of both words were utilised in the scheme they were in.
All four of these rhyme together when i say them.
Pull, Full, Dull, Hull, Skull... All rhyme.

The words are usually written out how theyre pronounced right beside the definition, in most dictionaries. Though, bar aside, you didnt lose 92 percent of the vote due to one slant. I thought it threw off that particular punchline that is all
