Yo! Do you ever struggle when trying to decipher, unravel and make sense of rap songs?

Here’s RAP GENIUS, a guide to the meaning of rap lyrics.

And it’s collaborative, too,  much like a hip-hop Wikipedia.  Anyone can create an account and put up their favourite new songs , highlight any line and explain it, even suggest changes to existing explanations.
