"There are not more than five primary colours," is true, three is less than five

FYI: cofounder's name is "Mahbod", not "Maboo".

ankitshah3• 13 years ago

you're right! I referred to him with full name throughout the site later on (in the annotations), but the album cover was meant to be more playful, so I went with his nickname (http://rapgenius.com/Maboo). appreciate you looking out though :)

Is Rap Genius just a layer of fluff over a lyrics site? Are they using "commentary" and "criticism" of the lyrics to eke out a fair use claim?

gamblor956• 13 years ago

The point of the fair use doctrine is precisely to protect discourse of artistic works, i.e., by commentary on or criticism of such works. The depth and quality (or lack thereof) of such discourse is irrelevant.

Great initiative. Terrible rap.

everyone here is hatin; this is a rap genius idea and shows great initiative on your part to demonstrate tangible benefits you can immediately bring to the team.

Would be extremely disappointed if the Rap Genius team didn't follow up with you on this
