restating the line

The justification used by the recently clueless editors on Rap Genius, aka Genius, for deleting a decade's worth of accurate, reader-contributed interpretation of rap lyrics. Somehow, in the minds of recent editors, translating the quirky, ever-changing, intentionally coded wordplay that's integral to rap being...well, rap, undermines the site's mission to bring understanding and appreciation to the art form.
THEM: "Your Ludacris annotation has been removed for restating the line."
YOU: "So explaining that 'put the booty of a Swish to the end of a flame' means lighting up the West Coast equivalent of a blunt has no informative value?"
THEM: "Such insolence! DELETE, DELETE, DELETE!"

Rastafari

Rastafari is a "messianic religio-political movement" that began in the Jamaican slums in the 1920s and 30s. The most famous Rastafari is Bob Marley, whose reggae music gained the Jamaican movement international recognition.
There is significant variation within the Rastafari movement and no formal organization. Some Rastafarians see Rasta more as a way of life than a religion. But uniting the diverse movement is belief in the divinity and/or messiahship of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, the influence of Jamaican culture, resistance of oppression, and pride in African heritage. The Rastafarian lifestyle usually includes ritual use of marijuana, avoidance of alcohol, the wearing of one's hair in dreadlocks, and vegetarianism. Marcus Garvey (1887-1940), is usually credited as the founder of Rastafari and is seen as a 2nd John the Baptist.
