I have to sigh at the first few pages.
The rhyming suits the purpose perfectly, he can't be rhyming fucking 6 syllables throughout - he's trying to make it like a real conversation - the fact he managed to rhyme 3 syllables at times without it sounding stupid is extraordinary in itself
If he attempted to force much of the rhyming, the whole epicness of the song would be lost.
Too bad bitch, your gonna finally hear me out this time
You mad, sick? you'll run out crying tears see you pout, kiss mine
Also, there is soooooo much more to lyricism than just rhyming.
The content itself is part of lyricism, the imagery is part of lyricism, the storytelling is part of lyricism, the structure of the lyrics is part of lyricism, the emotion is part of lyricism, the concept and it's execution are part of lyricism, the word choice is part of lyricism. All of which are practically perfect. And he delivers all that, making it sound like a real argument WHILE in parts still using multies.
But of course he doesn't rhyme 5-syllables every line, therefore it's not lyrical..... *roll eyes*
'Kim' is probably his most lyrical song ever and one reason why Eminem is the best to ever do it.
