I greatly prefer AZLyrics - they give me the lyrics on a page with just the lyrics, that's all I want nearly 100% of the time. It's not even a contest: http:/

This. Sometimes I feel the ppl claiming rg'S results are better aren't actually even looking for lyrics. They're just comparing the brand name, ui experience, startup culture, tech etc

That's because you have AdBlock running.

Don't forget that rap genius didn't / doesn't want to just be a lyrics site, they also do the whole "what do these lyrics mean" deal. I'd have no idea what 2 Chainz was going on about half the time were it not for RG.

  This is perhaps further argument to use azlyrics.

  Then people should stop claiming that RG is the best "lyrics" site. Lyrics are simply lyrics and RG does no better than AZlyrics in that regard. They can claim they're the best annotations or song meanings site instead.

  You'd have no idea what 2 chainz was saying, or the meaning of what he is saying? Which begs the question: if you don't know what 2 chainz is going on about half the time why do you listen to him?

    If you treat the voice as another instrument it can be enjoyable without making sense.

    Sometimes music transcends language - see opera & theatre, or even just gangnam style.

    It was an example. However, he uses a lot of slang (throwing 'n into the middle of words). Don't even get me started on MF Doom. Love that guy, no idea what he's talking about. http://rapgenius.com/Danger-doom-sofa-king-lyrics http://rapgenius.com/Danger-doom-sofa-king-lyrics

Do we really want to know the true meaning behind Dr. Dre's masterpiece? Is it so important that it needs $15 million dollars? Seems to me the wheels were being reinvented and being sold as square. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/drdre/bitchesaintshit.html http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/drdre/bitchesaintshit.html Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks Lick on these nuts and suck the dick Get the fuck out after you're done And I hope in my ride to make a quick run...

    Well yeah you don't need meanings for some songs that pretty literal like that, but if you listen to say some of Lupe Fiasco's top songs where he has a metaphor referencing another metaphor every line then those meanings can be pretty helpful to decipher what he means.

    And I hope in my ride to make a quick run... Too bad you didn't use rap genius. The above line doesn't make sense. Rap genius has something different, and probably gets it right: And I hops in my ride to make a quick run...
