Heres some advice and a list

Post by Ova Dose »

Ayo here's a list and some advice for new rappers coming up in the game


Simile, (SIH-muh-lee): a comparison between two or more things using the words like or as.
example: "I move fast like a cheetah on the Serengeti."

Metaphor, (MET-uh-for): a comparison between two or more things that doesn't use the words like or as.
example: "You are an ant, while I'm the lion."

Alliteration, (ah-LIT-er-AY-shon): a phrase with a string of words all beginning with the same sound.
example: "Five freaky females finding sales at retail."

Hyperbole, (hie-PER-buh-lee): an exageration.
example: "I fought a million rappers in an afternoon in June."

Personification, (per-son-if-ih-KAY-shon): giving an animal or object human-like characteristics.
example: "Alright, the sky misses the sun at night."

Paradox, (PARE-uh-docks): a statement that seems untrue, that seems to contradict itself.
example: "The poorest man is the richest, and the rich are poor."

Symbol, (SIM-bull): something that stands for something else (often something more abstract).
example: In Tupac Shakur's song Me and My Girlfriend, the "girflfriend" referenced is actually his gun.

Apostrophe, (uh-POS-troe-fee): a figure of speech that addresses (talks to) a dead or nonpresent person, or an object.
example: "O, King Vitamin cereal, you blow my mind!"

most examples you will find in peoples writtin song's here them in tracks this list should help you to uncover and reconize thos meanings and you should be able to learn from there if you need futher help contact me on illest lyrics but fa now ~peace~

I use paradoxes all the time. They are ILL

"Money doesn't buy happiness, just things from the store
so The poorest man is the richest, and the rich are poor."
