At the moment I think my weakest elements is creating decent metaphors and story telling. I wondered if anyone had any advice to give on these aspects ? I know with metaphors you describe something and say it was something else without using the words LIKE or AS. For example ''Her smell was my oxygen'' = Simple Metaphor. How does one create more complex metaphors ? The only one I can think of which might be more complex is Eminems Not afraid metaphor 'My demons are doing jumping jacks now = working out. Also if anyone knows any rappers who are dope on metaphors and story telling that they could share that would be awesome.

The two emcees that have helped me out most in terms of wordplay and metaphors are Chino XL and K-Rino
K-Rino also has the most incredible storytelling pieces of alltime IMO
