You're right I was referring to the "sold out" aspect of your post, it made it seem like what they did was a bad thing (besides the fact that they're culture vultures and whatnot). Rap/hiphop was just the inspiration and sort of beta/prototype to prove the concept. That's how startups work though. You start off hyperfocued on a specific niche and then you expand the features/offerings from there. Like how facebook was you for college students with .edu emails and then they expanded it soon after from there.

How is it an equal opportunity hustle when the number of white coders and computer science majors between whites and blacks is insane. The average black man or woman who indulges in hip hop culture does not have the skill set required to build a frontend and backend as intricate as rap genius. They're friends and their friends were also programmers so they had a network of people with the knowledge to help them build it.

Probably a million ideas and talking points that never amount to anything.

Can't hate on the hustle. No one was preventing anyone from creating that site. Good concept and they pulled it off.
OHHLA should've been the ones to do it tho. They had a headstart. It would've been a natural extension of what they were already doing.

Sad but true. People would rather make the same complaints over and over again just to hear themselves talk then actually engage in action to make an idea a reality.
