    1. I wonder how they were able to acquire that domain because I know genius.com wouldn’t have been vacant all this while

    2. And nobody finds it strange that these vultures get millions to explain something a good education or a love for the artform can do for free?

      I know not one rap fan nationally who respects what rapgenius is

      1. You are kidding me right? Rap Genius is incredibly respected, ESPECIALLY by other artists. THey are an amazing site.

      2. Nigga, STFU! I don’t give a fuck about Rap Genius, but I’m not dumb enough to say it isn’t respected. Seriously, you a dumb ass muthafucka.
