Personified Rap Songs
Apple Music


Back in 1994, Organized Konfusion blew hip-hop minds when they dropped a track written from the point of view of a stray bullet. It was a trick Nas would repeat two years later, as emcees steadily began to embrace the concept of taking everyday objects and lyrically personifying them. In this mix, check out artists like KRS-One rapping as a blunt, Common turning hip-hop itself into a girl, and more.
