Rapgenius is good in the way StackOverflow is good: A novel, well-executed UI to a kind of website that has been done to death (in this case its lyrics sites). Not to mention good SEO. It also suffers from the same problem, which is that the users that are most engaged are often not the best people to give explanations. I pretty frequently see tracks that have bad annotations, misunderstand lines (not to mention just straight out wrong lyrics), or break the context. Here's an example: http://rapgenius.com/Aesop-rock-were-famous-lyrics#note-759772 http://rapgenius.com/Aesop-rock-were-famous-lyrics#note-7597... That entire stanza the "favorite" is totally sarcastic, he's specifically calling out another MC (Esoteric) for just doing lame songs about transformers. In fact, the 2 marks after that block (which are part of the same verse) are properly noting who he is targeting. So in this case, the the lyrics are wrong, the selected lines are breaking the context, and the explanation is totally contrary to whats even being discussed. There is no "crowdsourced" way of fixing this, just a note that the "staff" hasn't verified it. I see this pretty frequently, actually on pretty much every track I've looked up there. I think its a great idea, but it should take a lesson from SO or even wikipedia on how to actually correct problems like this, rather than just leaving it to the first person to post it. Edit: This may be a factor of this stuff being a bit more obscure and dense than your average Kanye or Rick Ross track, as well as being unpopular, but I've put in several suggestions over the last year and never heard back anything about things being accepted or being able to actually make corrections.
