​what is genius

[Intro: p]
Genius is an American digital media company founded on August 27, 2009, by Tom Lehman
Ilan Zechory, and Mahbod Moghadam
Its website serves as an online music encyclopedia allowing users to provide annotations and interpretation to song lyrics, news stories, sources, poetry, and documents

[Pre-Chorus: p]
Originally launched as Rap Genius, with a focus on hip-hop music, the company attracted the attention and support of celebrities, and venture capital enabling further growth
The site expanded in 2014 to cover other forms of media, such as pop, litеrature, R&B, and added an annotation-embеdded platform

[Chorus: p]
That same year, an iPhone app was released
To reflect these new goals, the site relaunched as Genius in July 2014
An Android version was released in August 2015
And in 2016 and 2017, the company began producing music-focused original video content and hosting live events and concerts

[Verse: ToxiPlays & Fennix]
(Ah)
Genius celebrates more than the music
The lyrics, the stories behind the songs, and the creative connections that meaningfully drive culture
We champion curiosity and believe that everyone has music knowledge to share
Insights, intel, and musings that make us more informed, engaged music lovers
As the world's biggest music encyclopedia with a passionate community of more than two million contributors
Genius is a destination for artists, creatives, and superfans to discuss and deconstruct all things music (Yo, shut your black ass the fuck up, nigga)
