Only in rap music.

Everything rhymes in rap music. That's why I don't listen to it.

If you sung it to the right music and in the right beat scheme, it could be passable.

 

[Bryophyte]

No, but 'spanned' would rhyme with hand.

 

[Jzero]

No matter what accent I try to use, I can't make hand and span not rhyme. If you use a diphthong on one word, I can't imagine that you wouldn't use a diphthong on the other.

Is a dipthong like a dikfer?

Who cares about the vowel sound? Rhyming is typically defined as the last sound. One word has a 'd' and the other has an 'n' sound.

If your definition was more widely used, then 'cat' would rhyme with 'bag'. Most people say that 'cat' rhymes with 'hat'.

For other music and some poems, it's close enough. For rap I'd say no.

In modern music (aside from rap) I don't think that a true rhyme is even necessary. Some artists don't rhyme at all, and others have "near rhymes" like span and hand.

 

[spidey07]

of course it does. How could it not?

I don't know, maybe the letter D. It comes after C. I am sure you've heard of it.

More accurately, the last SYLLABLE sound, or the whole word as in the case of these one-syllable words.

One word has a 'd' and the other has an 'n' sound.

Yes, depending on your accent, cat and bag can be considered as rhyming. Where I live, bag has a diphthong and cat does not, so it's not even close.

These are not "perfect" rhymes, but they are still rhymes. Your English teacher would not knock off points if you used them.
