What up ya'll the Mac is back to teach all ya'll cats how to spit and spit that nickel-platted rawness!!!!!
Today's topic:
Similies
First of all:
you need to know what these things are!!!!(KRS-ONE: Knowledge Rules Supremely Over Neraly Everyone)
Similes-(a noun) A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often in a phrase introduced by like or as, as in "How like the winter hath my absence been" or "So are you to my thoughts as food to life" (Shakespeare).
I. Creating Similies in Your Rhymes:
1) Example
Most emcees do this already so you've seen it before..for instance:
Lyrical Messiah-"Angels of Death"(bold is simile)
they became his local consumers like the customers of a firm
drove at night like silent riders looking for girls to inject sperm
Commentary: This was hot and had vocabulary that enhanced the image that the simile created!!!
2) Creating Similes
If you want to insert similes into your rhymes..you have to nmake sure that it paints an image. Unimaginative lines with played conetps only dwongrade your line and jade your overall image b/c its not imaginative enough ofr the reader/listener to see:
lame Example:
I got the yellow and black like bumble bees/
I hold glowin' reen of my brown fingers like christmas trees/
Commentary: This lines is lame and lakes the imagination that will astound the listener.....it is just bland and sounds average at best!!!
good example:
I colorful like the array of crayons in a crayola box/
Lames disappear in my lyircal vaccine like smallpox/
Commentary: these two lines represent to different styles of using similies....you either....do a lnog similes with words that are imaginative and paint an image...or you do a short one with that is preceded by vocab that paints an image.... while this is not the greatest..it still prvoes the point.
Practice here and if you want me to look o ver your bars..jsut pm me!!!
