===Literary technique=== Rappers use the [[literary technique]]s of [[double entendre]]s, [[alliteration]], and forms of wordplay that are found in classical poetry. [[Simile]]s and [[metaphor]]s are used extensively in rap lyrics; rappers such as [[Fabolous]] and [[Lloyd Banks]] have written entire songs in which every line contains similes, whereas MCs like Rakim, [[GZA]], and Jay-Z are known for the metaphorical content of their raps. Rappers such as Lupe Fiasco are known for the complexity of their songs that contain metaphors within [[extended metaphor]]s.
