True Rhymes vs Fake Rhymes?

What I mean by this is there are Rhymes such as cat, hat, bat, which are true rhymes. The words actually rhyme, and don't just sound close. But then there are the rhymes that are somewhat common in hip hop that sound like they rhyme, but when you think about it, they don't really, its just how the mc spit it. IE: important, extorted <- Jay-Z. lost, across <- Rakim (is this a true rhyme, i am second guessing myself)

Does the use, or excessive use of rhymes that are not actually rhymes take anything away from a rappers talent? Personally I believe that if they can make it flow and sound right when they spit, its all good, but sometimes they do pop out at me.
I just made up a term for it, but Forced Rhymes is apparently what Fake Rhymes are actually called.
