A metaphor is a essentially something that is supposed to correlelate in meaning toward something else. It's an example to illustrate something within the context of something else. It's a resemblance.
For example, a metaphor would be a phrase like..It's an "uphill" battle, for something being difficult, uphill being the metaphor. Of course, it's not really uphill, but that word is representational of struggle, its a resemblance that really is irrelevant toward the subject, but places it within context.
there is a lot more to this concept, but not really relevent to rap battling.
A similie is a "like" This is what 99%of the stuff on here is. "beat you like..." whatever. Everyone has that part down.
