So I think this is an example of RapGenius trying to break away from the 'lyrics' website image and moving in to the 'annotate everything' domain, but I just don't get what's going on here.
This happened before with the whole Heroku(?) thing -- I literally cannot figure out:
- Who is talking in the first person?
- Is it PG? Is it Harj? If Harj is the one who annotated it, does that mean he's not the one who wrote it?
- Are we supposed to be familiar with this email?
- Was it a mistake that it was sent as boilerplate, and not fleshed out?
There is literally -zero- context to go off of here, and I don't think RapGenius' site currently has the interface necessary to provide the context to begin with. I really wish I could better understand what's going on here.

If Harj is the one who annotated it, does that mean he's not the one who wrote it? Harj wrote it and is now explaining it. >>Are we supposed to be familiar with this email?

Ctrl+f "description" will give you a box in the top-right corner: "Harj Taggar is a Y Combinator partner. He wrote this email as satire of normal VC boilerplate."
