Nothing wrong with those lines...Black Thought's verse on The Day, he slants his pronunciation something serious to rhyme the I and O sounds. Still a good verse, lots of multis...
Before I rise and shine like a neon sign
I need the girl of my dreams to give me Einstein
And burn the marijuan' like Buju Banton
It's my only bonafide break from these confines
I need a change of scenery like a montage
These kids bringing me the noise like the Bomb Squad
And everybody coming at me from the blindside
I'm tired, it's hard to open up my eyes wide
I listen to some theme music on the iPod
And walk around the crib doing little odd jobs
Checking my breath, take a view from this high rise
Feeling like I'm checking out a game from the sideline
I got to try different things in these trying times
Twenty-ten is different than it was in nine-five
It's come alive time, I picked a fine time
For getting open off life like a fine wine

What's this bytch retarded? Gimme back my sixteen dollars
classic example from eminem
instead of pronouncing the second syllable in retarded tar as in car
he pronounced it like taw as in jaw so it can rhyme with the first syllable in dollars

Nothing really matters...
Sometimes you can't even consider these stretches, they're not attempted rhymes.
Mos Def broke it down very well, rap is definitely more about the prosody then the rhyming.
Put in another way: you can get away without rhyming if your flow is rhythmically pleasing, you can't get away without flow if your rhymes are pleasing (it will sound bad because we're listening for the musical qualities before the lyrical qualities, it could still work on paper).
You can definitely make raps that are musically/rhythmically pleasing to the ear that don't rhyme at all. You can rap like verbal percussion. Mos Def proves this in his video.
Poetry doesn't have to rhyme, and neither does rap sometimes. If it sounds good and works...then it sounds good and works.
Why don't people understand that if something is dope and breaks the rules, it's still dope? It's not automatically lazy or unskilled, you don't make the rules.
