In reply to Tom.

Great examples, thanks. He definitely seems intent on working ‘orange’ into as many rhymes as he can. Or at least he used to be.
Best wishes,
Tony

He is way up there! (Did you check out the song above? Some of the greatest lyric writing EVER!))
Thanks for reading and writing.
Best wishes,

Or — to further prove the point — again in his song “Role Model”:

“I’m dumb enough to walk in a store and steal/
So I’m dumb enough to ask for a date with Lauryn Hill/
Some people only see that I’m white, ignoring skill/
Cause I stand out like a green hat with an orange bill.”

Good example of this in Eminem’s 1999 song “Brain Damage.”

“Then I got up and ran to the janitor’s storage booth/
Kicked the door hinge loose, and ripped out the four-inch screws/
Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools/
‘This is for every time you took my orange juice…’ “

I love this. So. Much. Thank you, Tony. I do care about the whole rhyming thing.

I have to say, I have never been an Eminem fan, or a Hip Hop or Rap fan for that matter, but this is next level thinking.
“Don’t rhyme words. Make words rhyme.”
That is just genius.
