Amateur music scholars on Twitter shared their appreciation, and a Twitter moment gathered the most illuminating pieces of information gleaned from the Spotify and Genius partnership. They are nothing short of wiiiiiiild (and you can fact check us on that).
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.
