Hyperbole (pronounced /haɪˈpɝːbəli/ hye-PER-buh-lee; "HYE-per-bowl" is a mispronunciation) comes from Greek "υπερβολή"=exaggeration and is a figure of speech
in which statements are exaggerated. It may be used to evoke strong
feelings or to create a strong impression, and is not meant to be taken
literally.
Hyperbole is used to create emphasis It is a literary device often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech.
ok, you're a retard. congratulations for making a complete fool out of yourself. you clearly have no idea what a hyperbole is and illustrated that point like fuckin Monet. you couldn't even google that shit? i mean, it's obvious you didn't know what a HYPERBOLE (not "hyperbola"... seriously, Drew wouldn't fuck up something so simple and misspell that), so why not just jump on dictionary.com, wikipedia, or some other site that would have taken five seconds to get to?
oh yeah, i forgot you're retarded.
anyway, on topic, Lil Wayne takes it in the ass, so don't bother listening to his music.
Borrowing bars does not equal swagger jacking. Lil' Wayne is a swagger jacker because he essentially adopted the cadence, flow, and posturing of GDK. Weezy is undoubtedly more popular then Gillie anywhere outside of Philly (maybe just north philly). However, anyone who knows the Major Figgas, knows that Gillie was signed to cash money prior to the release of the carter, and is familiar with weezy's work pre GDK, knows that wayne was clearly influenced by gillie. Whether Gillie actually wrote for wayne as he claims is debatable...that wayne sounded like a different rapper and strikingly similar to gillie in '99 immediately after gillie's involvement with cash money is not.
For the record, to claim that weezy has been involved in thousands of mixtapes is outrageous. Just because some shit dj throws a wayne verse over whatever scott storch or timbaland beat is lying around and shouts EXCLUSIVE with delay and reverb 3 or 4 times, doesn't mean that wayne is involved or that it's even an original verse. Anyone who has bought several mixtapes at the same time knows that there is a huge amount of recycled material between them.
