Yep, the Better Flow argument is the justification of last resort.
The only instance where I would find the Better Flow argument convincing -- if not compelling -- would be if I were preparing rap lyrics for my client.
Indeed, the following autobiographical ditty by eminem just wouldn't be the same if it had proper grammar, which would vitiate its creative force:
Now how the f**k did this metamorphosis happen
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass
But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you
Fans turn on you, attorneys all want a turn at you
To get they hands on every dime you have, they want you to lose your mind every time you mad
So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon
Any dispute won't hesitate to produce handguns
That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me, strictly just to get me off of these streets quickly
But all they kids be listenin' to me religiously, so i'm signin' cd's while police fingerprint me
-Eminem - "Sing For The Moment"
