I think the use of metaphors are a lost art....

[Brother Blue Collar]

.............in hip hop nowadays.

so it's rarely when i hear a dope one, seriously rare.

so i'm going to name sum recent metaphors that suprised me.

Jay-z verse on diamonds remix, when he said i had to get outta the boat to so i could walk on water.

Lil wayne "oh no" when he's like "put'im in that water they drown you gotta saving'im me i come outta that water like i was just bathing"

for sum reason this metaphor seemed dope to me

nas from no idea's orignal when he says My tongue is power, it thrills women, kills demons

jada has sum killer ones as well, which is why i like him.

sheek's joint how i love you from walk with me

"You got the magazines lovin our realations
People like to hear us talk, DJs record our conversations"

Kick push from lupe is just a metaphorical song period, and i'm feeling it, but lupe has alot of metaphors.

so name sum dope metaphors, and tell me why are we losing the poetic side of hip hop???

you need help, cuz now you're just seeming like a pussy now.

since when did hip hop become a stupid subject, or noticing beauty in nature????

grow up, or atleast pretend to act your age, cuz going around trying to start shit isn't too mature.

[phlymo]

metaphors are brilliant


'there's smoke in my iris, so i painted a sunny day on the inside of my eyelids'

'don't tell me god and lucifer don't carpool'

'saw the liquid dreams of a thousand babies solidify, and picked the rose that wilted as soon as i introduced myself as nervous'

'i'm not trying to graduate to life with a personalised bar stool, head in a jar on the desk and feet dangling in the sharkpool'

^all from one track, 'battery'

and this, one of my all time favourites, from '9-5ers anthem':

'i'll take my seat atop the brooklyn bridge, with a coke and a bag of chips, to watch a thousand lemmings plummet just because the first one slipped'


^seriously, aesop rock, love him or hate him, has so many great metaphors in him it's unbelievable. those are from 2 songs, and i could quote more from those songs alone.

thank god i thought i was only one who didn't get those.

anyway here's sum from jay-z

She said the taste of dollars was shitty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feeding her money 'til her shit started to make sense

Exhibit A: "Reasonable Doubt"
They say this was the first thing that turned the peoples out

for sum reason i liked when he compared reasonable to drugs.
