PonyPanda (npub17yq…d2qm) cool_boy_mew (npub135j…vj4p) it's better to do near rhymes most of the time. it's good to have rhymes in the middle of lines as well, which is what eminem is really good at and why people like his flow so much. he's the most notable example, anyway. if you only rhyme the last word on each line and nothing else, especially if it the exact same word as a previous line, you sound cheesy/dumb.
here's an example of what that would look like in practice:
"baby, you make me feel so crazy
stuck in the daises, i'm spacing
all the things i held onto
lately, heartache is what i'm maintaining
all that i'm feigning, erase me
are you gonna' make me choose?"
you have three words that use long "A" and "E" sounds in the first line, then "daisy" rhymes with "crazy" but it's not at the end of the line, instead being another word with those long vowels that doesn't technically rhyme. the stanza ends on a word that doesn't rhyme with anything else to add a bit of pizzazz but it all comes back around when the formula is repeated.
