> Don't forget that rap genius didn't / doesn't want to just be a lyrics site, they also do the whole "what do these lyrics mean" deal.

Do we really want to know the true meaning behind Dr. Dre's masterpiece? Is it so important that it needs $15 million dollars? Seems to me the wheels were being reinvented and being sold as square.

    Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks
    Lick on these nuts and suck the dick
    Get the fuck out after you're done
    And I hope in my ride to make a quick run...

Well yeah you don't need meanings for some songs that pretty literal like that, but if you listen to say some of Lupe Fiasco's top songs where he has a metaphor referencing another metaphor every line then those meanings can be pretty helpful to decipher what he means.

Too bad you didn't use rap genius. The above line doesn't make sense. Rap genius has something different, and probably gets it right:

    And I hops in my ride to make a quick run...
