They're not links, they're text annotations. Rap Genius is a text annotation platform currently focused on rap lyrics. In this case most of the annotations happen to be a link + context, which is pretty rare.
- tibbon 14y agoYea, I got that... but in the context of a tech blog post, the interface just doesn't seem to make sense or at least in my head. Its a blog post, not rap lyrics.
