The board of Rap Genius is Horowitz and the three of us founders: me, Tom and Ilan. Then it was on the radio like every five seconds. I had never heard “Cashin Out” before he told be about it. We got mad fucked up with him! And he has really good taste in rap. It’s not just about his money his time is way more valuable. We’ve known him for six months, and to put the deal together it took like a month. How did you become close with Ben Horowitz? Horowitz loves hip-hop. Nobody just goes on Facebook to browse except for child molesters and shit.

Hopefully someday everyone who’s reading will also be a contributor.

But if you just read it, then you’re not getting the full effect. Rap Genius is one of the tightest sites on the internet, if not the tightest.

Rap Genius was founded in 2009 by three already-successful Yale graduates: lawyer Mahbod Moghadam, Google project manager Ilan Zechory and engineer Tom Lehman. The site says it's already using Andreesen's seed money to develop offshoots for indie rock, country music, poetry, law and the bible. Firm co-founder Marc Andreesen-creator of Netscape Navigator, Facebook board member and Forbes list runner-up-explained the investment in an annotated letter, stating his goal for Rap Genius to become an 'Internet Talmud,' illuminating not just rap lyrics but law texts and literature. A couple weeks ago, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz announced they'd invested $15 million in Rap Genius, the crowd-sourced, click-baiting rap lyrics explanation site.
