skant rhyming

[pointproven]

what is slant rhyming i have heard
of the term

but i dont know what it is.

can anybody explain to me what it is ?

sure. a slant rhyme is a rhyme that sounds like the word it’s being rhymes with, without actually rhyming. it just sounds similar phonetically.

example:
went to dinner with at her folks’, but should’ve passed the date
the mashed potates were bland & had an aftertaste
her father was bothered & hollered “but the bastard ate!”
i dashed with haste back home so i could masturbate

in the 2 bars above, passed the date, mashed potates, aftertaste, bastard ate, dashed with haste & masturbate are all paired for the rhyme because they sound similar, but in reality they don’t exactly rhyme perfectly. same with father, bothered & hollered. all sound similar phonetically but don’t exactly rhyme.

a perfect rhyme, or near enough to it rather, would be something like:
i’ve reached the latitude where niggas need to show me some gratitude
i’ll splatter dudes across they avenue if they have a rude attitude

here, latitude, gratitude & attitude are perfect rhymes while splatter dudes, avenue & have a rude are slant rhymes.

do these examples make sense?
