thats strictly opinion-based tho
U cant speak for the Hip hop world and saying that it wasnt
to you it wasnt
To me it was
To others it was lyrical
to others it wasnt
no, it is not opinion based. put that in front of any head and ask if that was "well-written," or even better, put it in front of a linguistic scholar who likes hip hop and ask, "in terms of hip hop lyrics, was that well written?" and he will tell you "no" or "it was OK, but to call it well written would be a stretch."
the point is that there is a such thing as writing that is, by English writing standards, poorly written. you could argue, for example, that Soulja Boy is a good writer, but that would be, based on the standards that exist, factually incorrect.

at the end of the day tho Erik does it really matter? im still gonna like the song and you still gonna hate it
But knowing you, you wont let it end with me still liking it, you'll still continue to insist it was garbage until hell freezes over sp lets just let it be and continue with this freegin thread.....
dude, for the fiftieth time, i DON'T HATE THE SONG! THE SONG IS NOT BAD! there are PLENTY of good songs that even have BAD lyrics, but most of them are in other genres because we pay so much attention to lyrics in hip hop and there is nothing spicing up the lyrics like singing does in other genres except the lyrics.
btw, check your Saul Williams thread.
