What are your favorite metaphors by EM?

Either Obvious ones or the more cloaked ones?

Well my favorite is probably his last 4 bars in forgot about Dre, that's actually a simile I think though

simile language :coffee:


Nope, it's metaphorical language.

A or multiple similes use 'as' or 'like' to compare the things in question.

"My hearts a lighter, my soul is the fluid, my flow sparks it right up"

He's just talking about his hear being the lighter as if literally but obviously not, it's metaphorical. It's not the use of simile language. It's metaphorical.

The 'No Apologies' line isn't a metaphor? You're wrong.

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity.

So yes, it is a metaphor.

Yeh as Coleon said, already corrected. But, it's not actually A metahpor. It's not an example of a singular metaphor in the true sense.

It's metaphorical language. He's talking literally about multiple things. So it's metaphorical language not A metaphor.
