When you start learning a new language, or teaching one, a lot of arbitrary situations appear where you know what sounds right, and what doesn't, but you can't explain it. For example the word, "well" at the start of a sentence.
Same thing was happening here. I didn't realise why some sounded right, and some sounded off. It was interesting to me at the time, so I wrote about it.
Good luck with your rap career. Remember, if in doubt on stage, just say "nigger" repeatedly, and you'll land that deal.

Rules for Joe, but not for Shlomo.

Almost.
To make it sound right the number of syllables after for needs to match as well as rhyme.

Thanks, Guy. This very problem contributed greatly to my inability to achieve fame as a rapper.
'Twas the very best I could do under the circumstances.
