Title: favorite extended metaphor song?
Post by: Suffice on April 23, 2004, 01:33:42 AM
I have a few favorites:

Royce Da 5'9'' - My Friend
Luniz - Girl (Feat. Crooked I)
Tech N9ne - Worst Enemy
2pac - Me and my Girlfriend
Cormega - American Beauty
G-Unit - My Buddy (Just kidding)

can't think of any more good ones. Nas's "I gave you power" is dope, but the beat is just too repetitive.

Common's 'I Used To Love H.E.R', off his Resurrection album.

For those who don't know, he talks about hip-hop like a girl he grew up with. Great track off an under-appreciated album.

Sticky Fingaz's "Money Talks" is great, along with the aftermentioned "I Gave You Power".

Another one: Royce Da 5'9" - "Pain"

What are you claiming this song is an extended metaphor for exactly?

Girlfriend = gun.

Not a great one - Pac makes it too obvious, if you know what I mean. Not that he explicitly says it, but most of it's just not clever enough in the way Common's track is.
