No. Go look up the lyrics to the first verse of Syllables. He's criticizing the audience, not the rappers. He's not saying anything about himself or anybody else as a rapper, he's saying that no listeners pay attention to anything other than the beat and hook. He's not calling anybody a poor lyricist.
Inversely saying there's not enough good lyricists in rap. Too many songs with just good beats and hook. He's pretty much criticising rap music.
That seems to reminds me of a song from that time period - ah yeah, 'Smack That', featuring, um,... ah, yeah, Eminem.
Fucking 50 Cent is on this song btw -the same 50 Cent who's got through his career on hooks. and production
The whole song is ridiculous.
LOL @ MikeNUFC ignoring all the significant points of my post.
Little Mikey is just a kid everyone....Don't take him seriously.
What? The points about poetry? The points I already refuted? Ah yeah.
Take it for what it is - recited poetry? It's a fucking rap song. I take it for what it is - a rap song. Shall we just change how we take what something just to suit our need.
We should all take Fack for what it is - very stupid song. For a very stupid song, it's fucking amazing. Masterpiece.
Eminem's a rapper who makes rap songs. I take every song he makes as a rap song. Because, er, that's his genre.
I'm not criticising Eminem for making the song. Just saying, it's not a good song.
Anyway, I'm out.
