Once the real owners were unmasked, you already seen what the deal was...
Lyrics are on Apple Music now in karaoke form for every songSeveral years ago, like around the time of Magna Carta, Kendricks first 2 albums, so on & so forth, Rap Genius was a staple. They rarely had lyrical errors or misheard lyrics and they had lyrics up before anybody.
Now, you go on there and it's kinda trash. Even seems like some of the older lyrics annotations & explanations have been removed. On top of that, the new songs often have error and very few annotations. Like someone who is doing them doesn't speak English as a first language.
It used to be a really fun tool just for reading what other interpretations other hip hop fans had for lyrics other than your own.

Lazy Editors who mass-reject annotations for the sake of “Activity” but don’t contribute toward annotations for them to be accepted is the reason why people don’t spend their time contributing to rapgenius just to have their annotation efforts ultimately deleted over a technicality. The talent pool of contributors have gone to shyt over the years and the bar is steadily lowering for editors' standards. Rapgenius often have my contributions rejected/removed by some ill-informed editor who does not understand the culture and its possibilities. My words are chopped up/re-edited to formulate another baseless narrative by a stan from a rival fanbase trying propagate revisionist hip hop history and/or disputed/nitpicked with irrelevant commentary from the ignorant parts of the wave-riding internet peanut gallery.
Knowledge is compromised over territorial IQ gains because contributors often dispute, squabble, deflect, and fight over trivial fixed-mindset, zero-sum stances. This platform has hit a plateau and is declining because clout chasers race to become the first contributors so they can reject other incoming additions to annotations that does not fit their mental image narratives instead of being open minded and candid to the possibilities – people play too many games and this site has too many abusable red-tape lack of functionality for any real contributions to be seen before they are ultimately rejected over a technicality.
The site’s GUI and functionality for contributions has not changed in years and people still abuse the same functions giving wrong/incomplete Q&A’s in the song’s bio. Don’t bother wasting your time contributing to new songs because the bottom feeders are aggressive will pull you down to their level for the sake of claiming annotation territory farming trivial IQ gains instead of providing the ultimate complete correct information to share. If any of this applies to you, you are part of the problem and not the solution but learn to correct yourself and get out of my way.
Rapgenius need to look at how reddit upvoted messages is ran for allowing the best annotations to bubble to the top via multiple contributors instead of a first-annotate-first-IQ-credit policy. The current system is too zero-sum.
