I think that it's because they are not fans of their brogrammer antics. Read this thread for example (or any other Rap Genius thread on HN)

What did I just read? I don't understand that exchange at all. So Rap Genius sent a corny email to this guy trying to hire him. And...?

...and he said "no thanks" because he does not approve of RG's past behavior. They persisted. And then he said no again in verse form. That's pretty much the whole story.

I posted it more for the response on HN, not so much the email itself.
