Simile's in rap songs? YES

Post 1 of 3 on a class topic.

Something most people that listen to music can relate to.

Some people notice this, and others don't, but I for one do notice this in many rap songs.
A lot of rappers use simile's in their rap songs to make a bar flow together. When I think of rappers that do this, I think they 1) aren't real rappers and 2) how much lil' Wayne uses simile's. I do, however, have some respect for them as they use them properly, so they may not be as "uneducated" as they seem at times.
A good example, is a lil' Wayne song called "Ice Cream Paint Job" (CLEAN video below, youtube for unedited version)

Wayne uses simile's throughout this entire song, and it drives me crazy.
This is just an example, and with how many people listen to rap music, I suppose you could learn simile's from a song such as this.
Enjoy.
