Seriously, a well-placed rhyme is a tune is brilliant. This transcends genre. Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" has some great rhymes. I really like the "daddy" rhyming with "fine finnan haddie," which I think is a Scottish slang for a cigarette. Eminem has killer rhymes, and the third verse of "Lose Yourself" is one of my favorite. I always giggle when he raps: "Cuz, man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapersm, And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Pfifer." Brilliant. A line like that rewards long-time fans for, you know, paying attention.
