[obwans]

my question's are difficult cuz i study before calling anyone GOAT and 2pac is like almost the best.SO my ? is on his lyrics how do u want it one part he say's "i have been hiting switching on bitches like i have been fixed with hydralics" can anyone explain how or what made him ryme with hydralics or how do you brainstorm to get that shit rigght there ? to me that's smart

 

[arab_thug]

i dunno exactly wat ur askin thas kinda confusing but if ur askin why he rhymed like that then i dunno it rhymed so he did it n for the brain storming part i guess if ur a rapper ur gonna find words that rhyme together? haha i dunno if that helped at all but ur question was confusing

That didn't make any sense. Have you seen a car that's been fixed with hyraulics? They've got a huge panel in the front with rows and rows of switches on it. The term "hittin switches" means that he's having sex a certain way where it satisfies the woman more and more. That line "i have been hiting switching on bitches like i have been fixed with hydralics" means he's hitting a lot of switches on these particular "bitches" like he was the switches on a hydraulics panel.

Shit, even Dante could understand that. LOL (Just kiddin Dante, don't ban me)

by the way, it's not a metaphor, it's a simile.

 

[imported_MAKaveli_10]

I know exactly what you mean. If I could answer that I would rapping too. Thats just an amazing metaphor.

I thought similies are a kind of metaphors.

 

[RaDeK]

I thought similies are a kind of metaphors.

lol no...

Also Pac wrote many of his songs in 15-20 minutes so I doubt he would really stop to think hard about that...he was very bright and talented so I'm sure things like this came naturally to him.

Metaphor- A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in “a sea of troubles” or “All the world's a stage” (Shakespeare).

Simile- A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often in a phrase introduced by like or as, as in “How like the winter hath my absence been” or “So are you to my thoughts as food to life” (Shakespeare).

 

[makaveli913]

it means he was bangin bitches like he had hydralics.

 

[Bender]

"In-and-out just like a robbery" - another great simile from Tupac right there.

 

[LBurna8484]

That line is really fucking clever too, relates how he is so fucking good with girls and shit to relate it to hitting switches on a car to use the hydralics, shits fucking DOPE!

so can you break it down on how to make a good smile like pac did it and how did he start.

A good 'smile'? lol

And if you don't know how to make a simile I have to ask, did you ever attend school or any kind of educational institution?

Ok, I questioned the educational background of someone asking the simplest of questions & a response like this - 31, eh? - really sums it up.

I dont know about the definitions of methaphor or Simile (im not dissin any1) but you guyz are picking lines which are basic, those cant be the smartest quotes you can come up with from pac...take a look at "me and my girl friend" and tell me if pac was smart or not.

even i could have made up something like "i have been hiting switching on bitches like i have been fixed with hydralics", but i doubt i could have done "me and my girlfriend". Most rappers do that a lot,its part of the art, u need to find new and exciting ways to say the same things in a different way. But thingz like "Me and My Girlfriend" and that nas song about where he tells a story backwards, and I think a rakim song about a bullet, come along once in a while....
