You guys are my peepz to go when it comes to proper ghetto german slang. I can’t figure out the meaning of a line in hiphop song lyrics. What’s the loose translation of:

Ganz, ehrlich, hätt'st du gekackt, wär' besser!

My take on it is:

Yeah, true, you fucked it up, could’ve been better!

  • @userunknown would have been better requires a condition, so in his translation, could is correct.

I did google these "lyrics" and my interpretation of this line is:

Had you taken a dump before, your rap would have been less sh*tty.

The translation to english is just straight-forward: "Would you have been shitting, it (the result) would have been better." So your translation slightly misses the point, even if it is still in the right direction.
