^ Yes, I agree. AFAIK, a lot of hip-hop lyrics fall right into the clang group category, so that even when the topic of the lyrics is For Adults Only, they don't entirely disguise an underlying element of childishness:-

Investigators have discovered that adults are prompted by the concept of the last word they hear, so a typical sequence might go: Cat -Dog! - Elephant! -Africa!
Children, on the other hand, are more likely to focus on word sounds and might come up with: Cat -Hat! - Hot! - Pot!
Because of the obvious similarity in sound, words like cat, hat, hot, pot are called a clang group, and one thing that I really don`t like are lyricists who build their lyrics around such obvious rhymes.
