Acronym literally stands for something. In addition, acronyms consist of the initials of each word – as in the the beginning of each word, not (about) the ends.
As for the acronym itself it could be:
Possibly be a shot at the infamous term “YOLO”, (You Only Live Once) in the song The Motto. This would link to the previous bar where he honors the good ol' times where rapping was about the art, not cheap techniques to get fame and riches. Thus, he’d also be cursing it: “Fucking acronym”
Omitting the “f” of “for”, “Busting raps and standing for something” equals “BRASS”, which is slang for money (in association to the color of gold coins). Adding a bit of controversial play to the “it’s not about the money” statement.
In a literary sense, “Brass” is a word for “audacity”, which is more aligned with the context than the slang interpretation.
The name Eminem is an acronym (Marshall Mathers: M&M). So he himself is standing for something.
Another possible acronym could be G.O.A.T or Greatest of All Time
Could be “- fuck an acronym”, reinforcing the previous statement that when he started out, rapping was about standing for something to him, fame & fortune (his name, Eminem, “M&M” as an acronym) was not the point…standing for something was.
It’s a more literal translation, but makes sense to me.
