RapGenius thread

It seems like with unpopular artists the annotations are super thin (same with pop music that doesn't even need annotating but is on the site for some reason anyways) , and with popular artists its all a race to fill up the song as fast as possible so that many things get overlooked, hooks that change throughout a song now all get the same annotation, entire verses are lumped together under a singer annotation that only explains a single line, etc etc

And then nobody bothers to go back and flesh out annotations because the song is now "done"

I think I made a similar comment recently in another Genius thread. Yes, it seems worse.

def seems like there was a time when it was relatively useful, like you could actually use it to help do a good close reading of lyrics, and now it's just this ridiculous free-for-all.
