none of us really know what the fuck we're talkin about. Niggas don't listen to music for the lyrics anyway, so they have no need for poetic conventions

I agree with you most of the time.

"Hold the mic like a memory,
Niggas say I'm nice with metaphors
But these are similes
Street ministry
My poetry's a penitentiary
Tracks is visitation
Sentences is life
I'm like chief up in this demonstration..."

I actually do. Alot of cats don't know what metaphors are, but that doesn't mean alot of rappers don't use them, just cause you don't understand WTF they are talking about. Ghost & Rae have some songs where almost every sentence has a metaphor in it.

Similes are not impressive and are overused.

You are a rare breed, my friend.
