Azlyrics.com was the go to before rapgenius was a thing lol
Young people today will never understand that 30 years ago, when we got the internet, we were SO EXCITED to look up song lyrics.

yes this! the twin rise of rapgenius and whosampled and what they represented for tech's encroachment on/vulturization of hip hop would make for a fascinating critical essay
There's an essay to be written in how in an attempt to be cool tech bros adopt hip hop aesthetics even while being anti Black

in case you're not clear about why this is way way too on the nose, the three guys in sunglasses here founded this site as "rapgenius" which profits from user-generated context about the meaning of rap lyrics and got rich on the terrible IPO that left their employees with nothing

it's like if you described cultural appropriation to a robot like the kind from an old scifi show that is perfectly logical but incapable of understanding nuance and emotion and it misunderstood and started laying out a business plan in response, it'd be describing rapgenius

Typical Rapgenius user annotation priorities lmao

For money, I will take a half day off of work and create a RapGenius-style annotation of this marketing copy wolf dressed in the clothing of a vision statement sheep.

you should never ever give rapgenius or whosampled a single click/pageview. both websites should be scrubbed from the internet and suffer whatever the digital equivalent is of having their fields salted so nothing regrows
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Rapgenius: he’s shouting out Dr. John Yerbury Dent creator of the “apomorphine cure”, he pronounces it “yererberry” to fit the rhythm
