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.

I'm aware of that, fam. Slants rhymes were around before hip hop. William Yeats was one of the first to use slant rhymes in his poetry back in like the early 20th century.

The issue is, Cel's comment over me rhyming 'skulling' & 'pulling' in my opener saying they don't rhyme/docking points for it...

SKULLING THE PAIR AND FAPPING AT MASS
PULLING HIS HAIR AND SLAPPING HIS ASS

Granted, i've no issue w/ Cel over his pov but this does rhyme. If it's being used as a slant it rhymes.

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.
