Why do people stretch so far when interpreting rap lyrics. I'm going to post pictures of an example.

Nothing new. You should have been there during songmeanings.net's heyday. In fact it was probably worse considering everyone was analyzing bland indie rock/pop.
Because music is descriptive and not prescriptive. Even if somebody shits on a piano and hits a few keys along the way there's going to be somebody trying to make theoretical sense out of it. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's how we can criticize and improve. You can always say it's not how the artist intended to do it but it's all a matter of perspective anyway and accidents do happen.

I thought it was a meme at first but then I realized people actually cite this stuff to emphasis the cerebral element of rap. They're just gassing. This is actually humiliating.

lol, take a college English class. you have yet to see real overanalysis.

Well the answer to that is if they prove it by making theoretical sense and saying on their own without someone else speculating. Someone doing it for you is embarrassing and degrades the craft. Makes your listeners seem more sophisticated than you are.

Are you stupid? That's the point of literature and there's a reason it's in the curriculum. Becuase it's a rich work open to interpretation and study. In this song someone literally wrote one word. The response was a human character study. It's a joke. And millennials think it's DEEP. I'm a millennial too but I'm not that idiotic and disengage culture often.

No, you are clearly the stupid one.
