S***s been on my mind the last couple days because it’s lowkey crazy to see how far the site/app as a whole has come since just becoming Genius

One in particular that was truly was Kendrick’s “She eyeing me like a nigga don’t exist” bar on f***ing problems they said mans was talking about one of Mars’ moons, named i, that was declared to have never existed or something

I know there’s plenty more examples of crazy reaches/explanations but this the only one that’s vividly popping up in my memory rn. Y’all got any ?

Lmfaoo wordddd, but some of them were actually pretty deep in detail back then before they combined the whole site to one.

I kinda wish it was split up again tbh

Oh that s*** would be the worst with J Cole songs

genius barely be annotating lyrics now

and a lot of them are ass

pretty sure they're the ones who came up wit the "that s*** cray" was a reference to the kray twins who were infamous paris robbers or some s*** like that

they really did sudoku to themselves smh

“I keep it 300 like the Romans”

Many will rush to proclaim that the Battle of Thermopylae was fought by the Spartans, and that the bar is stupid. However, an esoteric reading of the line reveals that in Latin, 100 was represented by the letter C, and thus 300 = CCC. Now what might CCC stand for? Cool, calm, and collected. Therefore, Kanye, rather than making a historical error, is actually filtering those who, in the words of Jay-Z, do not listen to music but just skim through it. Only the elect few are able to grasp the true meaning of this line, and truly live a life that is cool, calm, and collected. I keep it 300 like the Romans. Do you?

S*** it's asking a lot just for them to post the lyrics in general.

i remember back in the day they had multiple paragraphs on that kanye “i said s*** i’m chilling, tryna stack these millions” line from i am a god saying it was a reference to the tower of babel and other stuff from the bible

I remember i thought Sherane off GMKC kendricks dad was talking about dominos pizza and genius said they were talking about the game. Still confused ngl

Man s*** like this for literally every other bar in any Kanye or Kendrick verse we need them to release these archives😭😭😭

That’s how most Kendrick Stan’s view his lyrics tho lmao.

It’s the game. Any grown man badgering they son to bring him some cold below average pizza is INSANE

Bunch of cacs that didnt understand the subtleties of rap over explaining basic s***

people mishear lyrics so bad on that site and put the wrong s***

also a factor of them lowkey being embarrassed to be rap fans and thinking they gotta over explain everything to justify it

Bruh I will never forgive them for digital dash

either that or it was 2 chainz rapping "sitting in my benz" and the explaination was "here, 2 Chainz wants to make sure you are aware he is sitting in a mercedes benz"

That OG call me maybe annotations were hilarious, some guy annotated the whole songs as carly's need to suck d***, s*** was hilarious

Man. There really was no in between either this or what I put in OP😭😭😭

i fw nocap but this how his fans be

now they barely explain any lines anymore

They still do lol
