It was the Best of Rhymes, it was the Worst of Rhymes

some rhymes are clever, surprising, or unique. Others are just really bad; either they don't make sense, or they don't quiet rhyme correctly, or they are so tired and old you wish someone would just shoot them and put them out of their misery. This update attempts to showcase both.

"Mass hysteria/
inside the cafeteria"

-GZA (genius)

"White America!
I could be one of your kids/
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this/
White America!
Erica loves my shit/
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get
/"

-Eminem

As if it weren't bad enough to rhyme 'kids' with 'this' and 'shit' with 'get', Eminem decides he needs to do an internal rhyme of 'America', 'Eric', and 'Erica'. Rhyming the male and female versions of a name with each other is shit. This chorus is a superstar of bad rhyming.
