Off-centered rhyme

An off-centered rhyme is an internal rhyme scheme characterized by placing rhyming words or syllables in unexpected places in a given line. This is sometimes called a misplaced-rhyme scheme or a spoken-word rhyme style. Here is an example from the hip-hop group De La Soul: Playin' wait up, with the data servin' your ears with information due to confirmation of the nation's most wicked ways of livin', like them glassy eyed beans Inhale to smoke the fiends, while bangin' a tape Rated at the high point of the mass Rippin' MC's at the top of a class, occasionally rippin' some sucker's face, or some suckable ass from a girl It's a big brother beat for the wide wide world [emphasis added] This is a common rhyme scheme found in the spoken word form of poetry and can also be found in hip-hop to a lesser degree.
