I'm not quite sure if this is a spoof or a something genuine, but UnderstandRap, a website accepting submissions from those confused by rap lyrics, is now here to rescue hoardes of confused masses. By now most of you have seen the plethora of YouTube videos whereby a very nerdy-sounding person attempts to translate Hip Hop songs or battles line-by-line. It's cute and funny, and meant for a joke, but the last thing we need is for Grandma and Grandpa trying to figure out what "who let the dogs out" means when it's completely irrelevant to anything occurring right now. Most hilarious seems to be the section of the website offering phrases that need explaining. If for example you do not know what Common meant when he said that he and his people are "brothers from the city of wind," you have bigger problems, my friend. And Hip Hop is not one of them. Be sure to check after the bounce for one of our favorite translations of a Hip Hop battle. [H/T: IDTR]
