Perhaps Ben Horowitz was blinded by his own passion for rap music and relationships with artists themselves and knowing how much was left to be explored and explained... except perhaps most of the world often doesn't share that interest in depth or possess that depth to share in the first place.

I'm someone with a lot of passion for music (especially rap/hip-hop) and its interpretation, and I can't stand Genius. I think that it isn't that people lack the depth of Ben Horowitz, it's that Ben's vision for sharing and cultivating that depth in others isn't very good.
