Metaphors are EVERYTHING in rap to me. Like, todays shit...doesnt do it for me because of the lack there of.

This ones got a good rhythm. My favorite part is at the end, "ay yo 9 out of 10 of the rap artists are garbage" LOL!
Diabolic, he's a tough one for me. I dont really like his part in that song, but this one he really makes up for it:

"Can't freestyle, you're screwed off the top like bottle caps
Beneath the surface, I'm over heating your receiver circuits
By unleashing deeper verses than priests speak in churches
but your preach is worthless
Your worship defeats the purpose
Like President Bush taking bullets for the Secret Service"
^Thats some good shit right there by Diabolic.
Immortal isn't as good in this one but heres my fav part. "I'm like time itself, I'm gonna kill you inevitably"
