You don't have to be a genius to know that Rap Genius is a big deal.nnFounded in 2009 by Mahbod Moghadam, Tom Lehman and Ilan Zechory, Rap Genius has since become a staple for fans of rap and music in general who want to learn more about the lyrics they're listening to, with everything from triple entendre explanations to absolutely silly and nonsensical over-analyzation of lyrics.nnRap Genius has gained some notable fans, including rap legend Nas, who was both one of the original investors in the site and became a verified artist, meaning he provides his own explanations for his lyrics, one of the site's coolest features.nnThe site that started off annotating rap lyrics with explanations has since expanded to annotating everything from poetry, fashion images, and even Bible passages, and the technology behind the site could be the driving force of how the Internet works in the future.nnThe cofounders are looking to expand "Genius" technology even further, to the point where it will one day annotate everything on the web, from news stories to anything else with text.nnThe Elite TV team had the opportunity to check out the Rap Genius office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and speak to the three-headed monster that could one day change the way we read everything on the Internet.nnCheck out more Business from Elite Daily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXlqddXQDzk&list=PLidTvIp4b7EG5gJea9-635mgYZ6N105fSnnSubscribe now for more videos from Elite Daily: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=elitedailynnElite TV Productions©nnProduced By: Stephen Edwards @BeveBedwardsnProduction Coordinator: Max Grunner @MaxG718nDirected By: ManuallFocus @ManuallFocusnShot By: ManuallFocus, Sincere Dennis, Robert Gordon & Sean Horan nVideo Editing: ManuallFocus, Sincere Dennis & Greg Parker nArtwork & Animations: Robert Rodrigueznnhttp://www.elitedaily.comnFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/EliteDailynTwitter: http://twitter.com/EliteDailynInstagram: http://instagram.com/elitedailynG+: https://plus.google.com/+elitedailynnWhat is Elite Daily?nWe proclaim ourselves to be the voice of Generation-Y and never disappoint.nnAs the premier online destination for aspiring men and women alike, Elite offers a forum of peer-to-peer interaction in an increasingly digitalized world. nnThe site consistently delivers diverse content with a fresh, relevant voice that appeals to the divergent perspectives represented within our ADD generation.nhttp://www.youtube.com/elitedaily Less
