Build Your Hip Hop Cred

Rapgenius.com has developed an app to work with Google Maps that shows you locations specified in rap songs. The kitschy gun tabs are cute and dumb, but the app is actually very cool.

With a heavy presence on New York City the app is somewhat incomplete, but hopefully these guys build their database and show off more of their rap map skills.

Detroit is woefully underrepresented as only tracks for Eminem and one from Twista make the list, but hopefully that's simply a database issue and will be fixed as more tracks enter the library.
