Likeless Simile
a literary device used by various hip-hop artists, the likeless simile is a simile without the words like or as prior to the descriptive part of the sentence.
for instance, in the song bed rock by young money, the
following line contains a likeless simile:
“i just be coming off the top; asbestos”
this line in simile form would be as follows:
“i just be coming off the top like asbestos”
since the word like was omitted from the simile, it is a likeless simile.
other examples of the likeless similie include:
in kanye west’s “good morning”:
“you got d’s, motherf-cker, d’s, (like) rosie perez.”
in drake’s “forever”:
“swimmin’ in the money, come and find me, (like) nemo”
in young money’s “bed rock”:
“shake and bake, (like) ricky bobby
young money often uses the likeless simile in his songs.
