Remembered that that the book Launch Pad chronicled them - then as Rap Genius - quite a bit. Here's what they said back then:
"This is what a lyrics site looks like now. You go, you get a big ringtone ad. This is terrible! Where can you find the lyrics?" [Lehman] then mocks the site, as the crowd laughs at the absurdity of an ad for breakfast cereal next to the lyrics of Lil' Wayne...
"We're basically going to dominate the lyrics space. We're going to kill MetroLyrics, kill all these sites. After that, all texts. Poetry. The Bible. Literature. Tax code."
Strangely, the other areas are mentioned in a blur, with no mention of what will actually be next after rap lyrics."
