I don't think I'd call him a lyrical genius but this song is basically an interlude off of quite an old album. Flower Boy represented a big shift for his music tonally and maturity-wise. Maybe check his music after that to get a better idea of why is current fans feel the way they do.

One of the main themes of this album was summer camp. Some of the album literally feels campy and other parts feel angsty or edgy. It's meant to put you in the mind of a teenage boy. IFHY or Answer would be a better representation of lyricism off this album.

Maybe this one song from 12 years ago isn't an accurate representation of his entire body of work

Pop artists and their stupid fans are obsessed with labels.

They can’t just say that they enjoy something. That something must be special, that artist must be the best of all time, I must be special for recognizing how special they are.

It's been a while since I've listened to him, but I felt like he really struck an authentic vein with young men, especially queer kids. I wouldn't say his lyrics are genius, but his music was refreshing for popular hip-hop. I think a lot of his fans value the feelings he gives them over most other rappers in the space, even when their technical ability surpasses his.

Also his music production team sounds great, imo.

I really enjoy Tyler's music, never called him a genius though. That being said IGOR is such an amazing album, I consider it one of the best.

Sam this is wolf Wolf this is Sam Don’t you know that he writes lyrics so even keppy understands?

He's not.

Only people that go around saying GOAT all the time at every small thing say he's a lyrical genius. 2/10 would not lyric again.

Everybody famous is totally overrated.

Bob Dylan for example barely qualifies as a musician, yet he's considered one of the best songwriters ever. I'll never get it. My son wrote more inspired lyrics and played the guitar better a month after picking it up for the first time when he was in high school: where's his Nobel Prize?
