Tame impala should produce an album for Travis Scott or Kanye. They have really good production, they just don’t have good lyrics. Of course, rap production is usually pretty good anyways though

taste is subjective but tame impala lyrics are usually decent imo
Can almost hear the fun that I should be having Instead of all this dreaminginnerspeaker and lonerism deal with being an outcast and well, being a loner. lyrics include “there's a party in my head and no one is invited” and “can almost hear the fun that I should be having instead of all this dreaming”.
And you're gonna have to let it go someday You've been diggin' it up like Groundhog Daycurrents deals with heartbreak and change, for example “i heard about a whirlwind that's coming round, it’s gonna carry off all that isn't bound and when it happens, when it happens (i won't be holding on)” and the slow rush leans even more into change and also letting go of the past “and you're gonna have to let it go someday, you've been diggin' it up like groundhog day”. Posthumous Forgiveness especially has some great writing/storytelling imo.
rap lyrics generally have better storytelling though (not recently but like og rap)
On the bathroom wall I wrote" I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else"
I took a piss and dismiss it like "fuck it" And I went and found somebody else
Fuck arguing and harvesting the feeling Yo, I'd rather be by my fuckin' self
'Til about 2 a.m. and I call back And I hang up and I start to blame myself Somebody help
You weren't perfect, but you made life worth it
Stick around, some real feelings might surface
Been a long time since I spoke to you in a bathroom Grippin' you up, fuckin' and chokin' you
What the hell was I supposed to do? I know you ain't gettin' this type of dick from that local dude
And if you are, I hope you have a good time '
Cause I definitely be havin' mine
And you ain't finna see a mogul get emotional
Every time I hear about other niggas is strokin'
you Lie and say I hit you, he sittin' there consoling you
Runnin' my name through the mud, who's provoking you?
You should be grateful a nigga like me ever noticed you
Now you noticeable and can't nobody get control of you
1 a.m. and can't nobody get a hold of you
I'm callin' your brother's phone, like, what was I supposed to do?
Even though I knew he never told the truth
He was just gon' say whatever that you told him to
At a certain point, I had to stop asking questions
Y'all got dirt on each other like mud wrestlers
I heard he bought some coke with my money, that ain't right, girl Y
ou gettin' blackmailed for that white girl
You always said, "Yeezy, I ain't your right girl You'll probably find one of them 'I like art'-type girls" "
All of the lights," she was caught in the hype, girl
And I was satisfied bein' in love with a lie
Now who to blame? You to blame? Me to blame? For the pain
And it poured every time when it rained
tame impala songs always go hard
im pretty sure lil yaccty rapped over one of his songs before
