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, motherfucker, 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

Get the Lickle mug.Used by Appalachian moonshiners as a name for their moonshine. Although “Likker” is essentially the same in definition as Liquor, Likker is more specific to moonshine alcohol and sounds closer to the heavy hillbilly accent Tennessee moonshiners possess.
Oh yeah, that’s some mighty fine Likker right there.
