Does anybody ever compare the Rap Meanings on this wiki to Rap Genius's?

Here is a link for an example: http://rap.genius.com/Nice-peter-john-lennon-vs-bill-oreilly-lyrics

Good parts about Rap Genius:


 * Only trusted users can edit and everything gets peer reviewed so that it doesn't typically contain things like "French fries were named after French people, since the fries were tall and thin like them, but ironically, Bonaparte wasn't that tall and thin." for a year and a half.


 * It allows registered users to review the annotations in a thumbs up or thumbs down style approach, so that readers can see what is and isn't a well received explanation.


 * It puts pictures in the annotations when useful. (Might be useful here but would lead to a lot of badge whoring.


 * It has a lot of external links to help explain the lyrics (Would be useful here, but I am kinda meh on the idea, since it would probably appear very jumbled in wiki formatting)

Things that are better about the Rap Meanings pages on our wiki:


 * Since anybody can edit, they get constructed a lot faster. (They don't even have Artists vs TMNT yet.)


 * We take a much more encyclopedic tone to our pages, whereas they tend to add a lot of humor when informing on the meaning of lyrics.

Either way, it's a cool website to check out if you didn't already know about it.
