in rap it is considered rhyming in discussion all the time, so i would say in hip hop yes.

Outside of your world of discussion, p much everyone considers a rapper to be rhyming as long as they are making the same sounds, not just by using words with the same letter endings (rhyming 'crew' with 'Through' instead of 'slew') and it can be up for debate if a rapper was really "rhyming" in a line. For example some rappers might try to rhyme words that have the same vowel sound but completely different consonant structures, so the words aren't even assonant. I would say that isn't rhyming. But when Cam'ron says "76 they wired my moms, couple weeks prior to Ja" even though those arent technically rhymes I would consider them to be rhymes in the context of rapping

It's hard to say because you need to hear how the rapper pronounces the rhyme. TI for example is exceptionally good at making words rhyme that really don't at all.
But based on that I would say probably not, or it would be really hard to make those rhymes, because the "-ill" and "-in" sounds are too dissimilar. This is because the "L" sound we make is pretty unique. is this from an actual song? Because I could give a better answer if I heard it delivered
Assonance is definitely rhyming but in terms of sonic connection it's a much weaker form of rhyme. So there are various levels of rhyme in songwriting/poetry ranging from perfect rhymes to consonance. Assonance is rhyming vowels with words that have different ending consonant sounds like (life/tide, fire/smile, blood/rush), it's considered a more unstable rhyme however it also opens up the floor for more words which can make the lyrics more expressive or artistic when used correctly.

after doing a little research i ran across this book
called the rappers handbook and they basically
say it assonance rhyming is rhyming
because it basically opens up the new possibilitys for what can be rhymed and basically
shows u there are no limits to being rhymed
and basically u avoid rhyming the same word by rhyming just the same vowel sound
2. Avoid Tired Rhymes
The other time when slant rhyme is really crucial
is when you’re dealing with a rhyme that is really
stale and played out. For example, how many times
have you heard the word “knowledge” rhymed with
“college.” Damn! People overuse that rhyme like
skeezy businessmen use too much cologne. In order to
avoid that, all we need to do is use slant rhyme.
The great thing about slant rhyme is that it helps you
avoid one of most dangerous pitfalls for beginning
emcees: obvious rhymes. If a listener can tell what
you’re going to say before you say it, that’s almost
always a bad thing. It basically means that you’re not
being creative, you’re just repeating tired rhymes. So
use slant rhymes to avoid falling into that trap.
