Rap Genius

This website that will 'translate' your song lyrics for you.

which i think is great, its actually a really great idea

but i have already needed help in that category for years

and i think almost a decade ago someone else thought up that idea or had a website that already does that

it is called urbandictionary.com

its pretty good too

rapgenius.com

a website trying to do what urbandictionary already did

its kind of too late too
theres too much information on slang on the internet even without this site
Is the website rapgenius.com better than urbandictionary?

i doubt it because urbandictionary has had a ten year head start

but

As long as it furthers education i don't mind........
