none of this was possible before Google
I remembered this evening that there was a this rap song from a few years ago that contained a clever off-rhyme having to do with a brand of condom.
In an attempt to find the song, I ran over all the condom names I could think of, none of which rhyme with anything ("Magnum" rhymes with "sphagnum," which is "any of various pale or ashy mosses of the genus Sphagnum, the decomposed remains of which form peat." Hot!)
Finally, I remembered another lyric (the singer to his woman on the side: "it took time to get from the back seat to the passenger"), and found Can't Let You Go, by Fabolous (not a typo).
The rhyme I liked so much is:
Note: "Beyond Seven" is a condom and "After Eight" is a mint. However, from these pictures, it's kind of hard to tell.

Now that sounds funny to me! -coming from the UK, Magnum has always meant an ice cream bar to me... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnum_(ice_cream)
Well, if you are going to talk about Fabolous songs with condom references, you can't leave out the one from "now or later"
