Rap Genius: Dedicated to Being Dedicated to Being…Yeah

Posted Jun 19, 2011

I love hip hop nerdery—the kind obsessive and detailed interest that made Ego Trip so great. Sure, Chairman Mao is still doing awesome interviews but I see these cats at Rap Genius carrying the torch like whoa. Their recent write up on Wale vs. J. Cole was downright inspirational...not just for the intensity of the exegesis, but for the debate in the comments section. The fact people really, intently, ferociously argue about lyrics, bar for bar, well...that gives Uncle Humpasaur mad hope for the future.

Tonight, they proved their mettle again. Drake’s new album leaked—what? two hours ago?—and they’ve ALREADY transcribed the lyrics. Dig:
