Poetic Devices in Rap

6925
While rhythm and rhyme are fundamental in adding flow to your raps, there are many other poetic elements used in rap lyrics. 
I want you to pick out three poetic devices that you would like to potentially use in your raps. You should be familiar with all of these devices from previous poetry knowledge, however, for a refreshing look at the list of devices and their definitions click here. 

Comment below an example of the three devices you have selected. This can be an example from a published poem, an appropriate rap lyric, or an example of your own.

For example, your comment can either be:
I wrote an alliteration of my own: The realest rappers write the most radical raps. 
Dickinson wrote the metaphor, "Hope is the thing with feathers"
Lil Wayne wrote the simile, "Like a circle of knives I got the sharpest flow around"
