Take, for example, the hidden depths of the metaphor you might've missed in 50 Cent's 2005 hit "Candy Shop."

Their service to the public goes beyond just edification, though, and uses tangentially related information from artist interviews to deliver disturbing PSAs.

We've got our own annotation, too: 13 out of 10 times, Genius fucking nails it.
UPDATE: April 8, 2018, 11:26 p.m. PDT The name of the company, Genius, was updated and corrected.
