    sure. a slant rhyme is a rhyme that sounds like the word it’s being rhymes with, without actually rhyming. it just sounds similar phonetically.

    example:
    went to dinner with at her folks’, but should’ve passed the date
    the mashed potates were bland & had an aftertaste
    her father was bothered & hollered “but the bastard ate!”
    i dashed with haste back home so i could masturbate

    in the 2 bars above, passed the date, mashed potates, aftertaste, bastard ate, dashed with haste & masturbate are all paired for the rhyme because they sound similar, but in reality they don’t exactly rhyme perfectly. same with father, bothered & hollered. all sound similar phonetically but don’t exactly rhyme.

    a perfect rhyme, or near enough to it rather, would be something like:
    i’ve reached the latitude where niggas need to show me some gratitude
    i’ll splatter dudes across they avenue if they have a rude attitude

    here, latitude, gratitude & attitude are perfect rhymes while splatter dudes, avenue & have a rude are slant rhymes.

    do these examples make sense?

    yes

    so would this be a slant rhyme to you ?

    mad pill/can grin? sadly no. there isn’t a rhyme anywhere in those words. the slant has to at least sound similar in cadence.
