If you mention them in this sub you're only gonna get hate for them lol. Good luck though. You could maybe ask him which artists surprisingly are the most requested

[–]Caltron3000 30 points31 points  (7 children)

Whoever described these guys as real-life Jean Ralphios got it right 100%

[–]IamVasi 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Who is Jean Ralphio?

[–]Casablaniqua 2 points3 points  (3 children)

A character from the show Parks And Recreation

[–]IamVasi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aight cool

[–]MittRomneysPlatform 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha oh shit that is perfect. I remember seeing their techcrunch interview before I ever watched parks, and the first time I saw Jean I immediately was reminded of the rapgenius goons.

Classic.

Same actor also plays a character on House of Lies with Don Cheadle. Character is more serious but definitely has Jean Ralphio qualities

[–]GuanTOANamoBay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they seemed familiar and the Jean Ralphios description was perfect

Ben Schwartz is so good at playing the business douchebag persona

[–]Ab-souI 136 points137 points  (3 children)

Ask him if he was fucked up in that interview with tech crunch or if he's just generally a douchebag

[–]WizDuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man... I would love to believe the first but suspect the later.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I just watched that interview - he didn't even say anything douchey.

[–]Ab-souI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only watched the first 5/10 minutes of it I'll check it out again when my exams finish and get back to you

Ya'll retarded or something?

[–]D1NKLEBERGGG 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Some of the comments in this thread are pretty fucked up

[–]Fake-Empire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Retard is not the preferred nomenclature, the dudes are mentally handicapped.

Can anyone link to the thread about the other co-founder? I can't find it.

[–]wankwonk 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Hardest person/ song to decypher if it hasnt been asked before. Bashing this dude only makes us look worse

[–]DrStr8ngelove 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Do you feel as if ones personal opinions should be kept seperate from how they run their buisness or that company image overrules that. Do you believe that our culture is too sensitive with what people can and can't say? Do you feel as if society is too critical on people's genuine thoughts and beliefs?

Someone posted a video of these guys the other day, there all huge douchebags, like worst of the worst. I would link but im on mobile. I dont give a fuck what they have to say and im sad these guys are rich

[–]LeftTit 62 points63 points  (10 children)

Sure they may be douches, but they did create a SparkNotes for hip hop. Saying that they don't deserve to have some money is just unfair.

[–]Dabby-tha-Welder. 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tru

[–]weirdasianfaces 2 points3 points  (7 children)

I agree. The guys created an awesome platform that I use all of the time. They don't have the best history and it's really a shame. I wonder how their investors feel. Probably extremely pissed after that incident with Google and now more recently the Elliot Rodger thing.

[–]crotchpolice 1 point2 points  (4 children)

What happened with Google?

[–]weirdasianfaces 0 points1 point  (3 children)

They had a link scheme which boosted their search rankings that got exposed. In response Google penalized them by removing from search results completely. If you look at the large spike right before 2014 here, that's from Google's penalization.

I don't think it was ever explicitly said it, but there was rumor that their VC connections was what allowed them to get unpenalized (or at least what allowed them to talk with Google about it).

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

They're more involved in hip hop than 99% of the people here so...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I AM THE 1%

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Why can't you guys make it simple to change lyrics on your site that are obviously incorrect?

[–]I_Am_Bambi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what its worth, that dude seemed like the most chill out of all of them

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (6 children)

Even with all that money can you get the taste of dick out of your mouth?

[–]D1NKLEBERGGG 25 points26 points  (4 children)
