Stackoverflow had the same problem with expertsexchange early on, they didn't resort to it which rapgenius shouldn't have. I am just saying that really the best content should win, here it isn't due to manipulation by other entities not just rapgenius. It might be more of a google problem.
rapgenius might say here, 'don't hate the playa hate teh game son!'

The context is important, but it doesn't forgive their actions. > rapgenius might say here, 'don't hate the playa hate teh game son!' That's a nice phrase, but I think I'm going to go ahead and hate both.
