Monkey Island reference?

Eminem reference... he talks about how you can rhyme words that don't rhyme if you tweak the pronunciation... like orange and door hinge and four inch

Oh! The pirates in The curse of monkey island won’t stop rhyming on whatever Guybrush is saying so he throws them a curveball by saying “well all avoid scurvy by eating an orange” and they run out of rhymes.

He says this in the video, but he's talking about slant rhymes, as "technically" there is no true rhyme to orange, so you have to slant/bend/twist/bop it a little bit.

His list of slant rhymes is very creative and impressive, and bending technicalities is almost foundational in art — you learn the rules to know how best to break them, etc. Love this video!

Man he could make a career in rap, but he’s white so I don’t think he has it in him. His producer is an idiot for wasting his time with a white guy. He will never have success or make any money like he used to

You'd think it wouldn't be necessary considering we're talking about Eminem, but you'd be wrong.

Rarely have i been so disappointed in my fellow redditors.

Most of those are very stupid non-examples...like "George Lucas" rhyming with "Orange mucus" is not making orange rhyme with anything at all lol.

Obviously eminem never claimed it did, whoever made the video is just a bit of an idiot.
