Last week, Erin Barry with Yahoo! Finance posted an article about a popular up and coming website Rap Genius. The article contained a video of one of the site's co-founders, Ilan Zechory, explaining what their site is all about.

According to the article, the site began back in 2009 as a Wikipedia for hip-hop. Nowadays, they cover more than just the hip-hop genre and have branched out to books, poems, and more. The site gives users the opportunity to annotate portions of text from all of these areas. Famous artists have even begun to explain parts of their own songs through these annotations.

The site has continued to garner more attention. For example, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz recently invested $15 million into Rap Genius.
