Gemini/Gemstones - Ben Frank ($100 bill)


Nas - Last Words (Prison cell)


Shad - The Greatest Construction Crew (Imagination, intellect and heart)

 

[letti cook]

money as a woman

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Personification of a hundred dollar bill


Personification of money in the second verse


Personification of a beloved car


Personification of Mississippi as a woman


Also can't forget about the classic example


Edit: just seen you already had Commons on there

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Personification of a Jesus Piece chain


Probably one of the best songs out of everything on the list. It was a Wale song so it was slept on per usual

 

[Breh Obama]

Me and My Girlfriend is the best.

No debate.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Personification of crack cocaine

 

[Hersh]

dope.. but need a spotify playlist

 

[Mastamimd]

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

French Montana, rhyming from the perspective of a trash can

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

An original thread

Nas - Last Words should be there

 

[mcellas]

 

[Cadillac]

Dope thread

Really like this, there's alot of literary devices not talked about that r used in hip hop that fans r to ignorant to acknowledge

Because all they know how to talk about is the "metaphors" "punchlines"

 

[Cadillac]

Looking at that list again, and idk

Some songs r legit, but some of those songs aren't personification

They r just extended metaphors or analogies

List is OK, but some songs don't belong
