Favourite Rap Metaphors

I know rap isn’t big on these boards, But some rap artists are some of the wittiest lyricists around.

Biggie could “drop lyrics off and on like a light switch”.

“Your Style is Like school on a Sunday – No Class” (Redman)

Method Man could get “as Rugged as a carpet”

And the list goes on and on. What is YOUR favourite rap metaphor/simile or just a wicked rhyme?

“Chokin’ players like I was Bob Knight”- Brother Ali (best albino emcee ever)

Beastie Boys–“I got mad hits like I was Rod Carew” (Sure Shot)

Rod Carew got 3,000+ hits for the Twins and Angels and also later converted to Judaism (the B-boys are Jewish themselves).

House of Pain–“I’ll serve your ass like John MacEnroe, if your girl steps up, I’m smackin’ the ho.” (Jump Around)

sorry if this double posts

Some of my favorites are from the Bloodhound Gang:

“My name ain’t Quasimodo but I’ve still got a hunch that like the Jim Jones clan I’ll take you out with one punch…” - Boom

"I’m Jimmy Pop here in a jiffy heat me up and add oil
I’m like a zit a wart a corn a cyst a festering boil
I get under your skin and I sebaceously form
I’m as deep as the plot to an amateur gay porn
Keep ya hungry for more like Bangladesh
Then I’ll borg di borg do borg ya like the Swedish Chef " - Shut Up
“Like that episode where Gilligan gets sick of being teased
And he breaks into the Professor’s lab and makes some LSD
Peaks freaks and eats the Skipper’s brains then beats Ginger with coconuts
As Mr. Howell and Lovey burn alive inside their grass hut
Oh he’ll kill again that Gilligan they he should of let him be
And like a postal clerk I’ll go beserk if you don’t stop teasing me
See the trick is only pick on those that can’t do you no harm
Like the drummer from Def Leppard’s only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard’s only got one arm…” - Why’s Everybody Always Pickin On Me

And heck, how can you beat a song title like “A Lapdance Is So Much Better When The Stripper’s Crying” :wink:

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t these all examples of ‘Rap similes?’

Happy

I wish I could remember them all but these come to mind:

“I got more juice than Picasso’s got paint.” -Beastie Boys
“I come off…like the clothes on a hooker.” -Young MC

“I got more game than Parker Brothers” – Phife

And I still can’t get over how rude this one is:

“Leavin your squad dead on the side of the road, like Enis Cosby” :eek: – Jedi Mind Tricks

“All I wanna do is zooma-zoom-zoom in’a boom-boom!”

Don’t know who said it, but it sure sounds like fun! :wink:


Dammit! I have somehow become drunken without my knowledge or involvement!
