What different types of rhymes are used here?
In this video with rapper Eminem, he makes the following rhymes:
"I put my orange, four inch, door hinge, in storage, and ate porridge with george."
Following the Types of Rhymes wikipedia article, I can only connect a few types of rhymes used here:
imperfect (or near), assonance, and consonance
Am I missing other types of rhymes he makes?
The core of the rhyming scheme is assonance:
assonance: matching vowels. (shake, hate) Assonance is sometimes referred to as slant rhymes, along with consonance.
Eminem is deliberately bending the pronunciation of each word so that they sound similar. This moves the vowel sounds of each rhyme into an assonance rhyme. An example of how "orange" in particular breaks down:
"four inch" (assonance due to the g vs ch)
"door hinge" (perfect/feminine)
"storage" (assonance due to the ng vs g)
"porridge" (assonance due to the ng vs dg)
"George" (assonance due to r vs g and ng vs rg)
