I remember when RapGenius had the Google penalty a lot of folks were ranting about one of the founders and his bad behavior. Is this the same guy?

  Yeah. He has blamed some of his behavior on a brain tumor: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2507360/Rap-Genius-Mahbod-Moghadam-brain-tumor-mean.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2507360/Rap-Genius-M...

    Can someone tell me why this isn't a bigger part of the story? Brain tumor and brain surgery can both severely alter behavior. He could be a totally different person if it wasn't for his fucking brain cancer. I have nothing but pity and compassion for him after learning that, if it is in fact true.

      At the same time, if he can't contain his impulses, he probably shouldn't be helping run a company.

      I do have a lot of sympathy for him as well, I did not know this. Agree with the commenter below, he shouldn't be the face of the company. If he does have intrinsic value to the company perhaps he should just do what he does best (code, design, etc) but definitely not anything PR related.
