Extended Metaphors in Rap + Other Concepts

[kfadahunsi]

Ok so you guys know how we have 'Dr. Carter' with the whole concept of wayne being a doctor. He incorporates lyrics relating to hospitals and medical life and talks about saving hop hop from dieing and at the end of each verse has his receptionist send in the next patient. Similarly from the rumours about that 'Soup' track wayne raps about being the rapper-eater clearing a full course meal of rappers with the end of each verse revealing a waiter's voice with orders and shit. Then we have 'Dear Anne' which has Wayne pouring out his heart to his number one fan and finally Eminem's 'Stan' which narrates a series of letters from a fan with Em replying too late. These concepts are really cool and I was wondering if there are any other creative songs like these out if anyone can put any of their ideas forward. PEACE .x

Um Lupe Fiasco's the Cool and Food and Liquor

Both albums are centered around the concept of a character "Michael Young" that Lupe created..but the concept is really hidden and not as noticeable as Dr. Carter and Anne so it might not be what ya lookin 4..The concept is sick as hell though the way he incorporates it into the songs is ill...

This is where the character Michael Young (History) aka My Cool Young History dies
