Heart, We Will Forget HimBy: Emily Dickinson
Heart, we will forget him!
You and I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth she gave,
I will forget the light!

If the world of Western Poetics resisted slant rhyme, the world of Hip-hop embraced it. The difference, probably, is that Western Poetry (though an Oral tradition by origin) had become a written tradition.
The reader of a poem may not understand that “eye” if pronounced in a certain way, can rhyme very closely with “see.”
Hip-hop as an oral tradition never had to worry about how a “reader” might pronounce a word, it is always up to the emcee.

Memories Live By: Talib Kweli
Yo it kind of make me think of way back when,
I was a portrait of the artist as a young man,
All those teenage dreams of rappin’
Writin’ rhymes on napkins,
Was really visualization, making this here actually happen

“For me, such rhymes as, say, ‘swans/ stones’ or ‘gibe/club’ or ‘south/both’ often sound more beautiful and interesting than such hard-rhyme combinations as ‘bones/stones,’ or ‘rub/club’ or south/mouth’”
-Robert Pinsky(in his introduction to Dante’s Inferno)
