You think lyrics like 'if it wasn't for blowjobs you'd be unemployed', or 'getting sick of these girls girls girls, oink oink oink, you fu*kin pigs, all you good for is doink doink doink', or 'the day you'll be me, pigs'll fly out my ass in a flying saucer, full of ITALIAN SAUSAGE' are remotely good, clever, or funny? like, seriously? And these are not isolated moments...there are plenty of bad lines on the album. And also, Rap God is lyrically mediocre. It needs to be said. People are quick to praise the song because he's rapping fast and rhyming big words together...sorry, but you need more than that to achieve GOOD lyricism.
Why is MCHG lyrically inferior? Jay's second verse on Holy Grail isn't good? Picasso Baby? Crown? Nickels and Dimes? Oceans? MCHG is certainly not a GREAT album, but the hate it gets is completely unwarranted.
The blowjob line was fucking hilarious. It's not meant to be technically genius. It's supposed to make you chuckle. The flying saucer line was Em making a point: The day you beat him, not only will pigs fly, but they'll fly out of his ass in a UFO stuffed with sausage.
And how is Rap God lyrically mediocre? At all? Aside from some possibly weak lines, it's fucking awesome.
