Chiddy Bang LOVES Figurative Language.
To get excited for tonight’s show, I thought it would be fun to score (out of 5) some of the group’s silly similes:
——
“I can make these rappers run like a hard drill”- Opposite of Adults
SCORE: 3
This lyric isn’t too intimidating to potential opponent-rappers. Plus, the analogy could use some specificity: are we talking basketball suicides here?
——
“The Man on the Moon, got a buzz like Aldrin”- Get Up in the Morning
SCORE: 5
I think the phrase “I got a buzz like Aldrin” could take off. And Buzz Aldrin is the coolest.
——
“But I play a Ron Burgundy, I anchor on the track like what”- Opposite of Adults
SCORE: 4
Any reference to Anchorman gets an automatic 4. That movie is epic.
——
“Because the real world’s kind of like Real World”- Opposite of Adults
SCORE:1
Worst. Simile. Ever.
——
“And do they really love us, or is this just a fling?
And we be Peter Parker in love with the Mary Jane”- All Things Go
SCORE:3
Is Chiddy Bang saying that the their love for fans is true, like the love between Parker and MJ? Or are they saying that the Spiderman romance is just a fling? I’m confused.
——
“I’m rocky like Colorado”- On Our Way
SCORE:2
Seriously? Comparing yourself to a state?
——
“And like the professor, she like when it’s nutty”- On Our Way
SCORE:2
The Nutty Professor doesn’t like it nutty. And this just sounds gross.
——
“Hate mail is what they send me, but I separate letters like an apostrophe”- Decline
SCORE:5
Interesting play on words. And I happen to love the word “apostrophe.”
——
“if I said I command it like it’s the Pentagon”
SCORE:3
Closest to anything political I’ve heard from Chiddy. I’ll take it.
——
“and now I got more gigs than an apple store”- Never
SCORE:5
I like this analogy. I laughed out loud when I first heard it.
——
“Imagination is magic so when I wake up feel like I’m lookin’ up at Hogwarts”- Never
SCORE:4
Chiddy Bang, use fewer drugs. But Harry Potter is still cool.
——
I hope I hear some more fun figurative language TONIGHT!
