Talk:Burn (¥$ song)

"Burn" lyrics
Consequence's Wren Graves responded negatively to the song, incorrectly stating that West, "with all the skill of a man who alienated his best ghostwriters, rhymes 'pain' with 'pain'". In actuality, the aforementioned lyric was "When my campaign turned to cam-pain."

There isn't a citation for the second sentence above. I looked in the history and apparently Genius is the source. Genius is usually made up of user-generated content (WP:UGC) so I think that this is not a good source to use. Second of all, the original source (Consequence) quotes the lyrics they heard as "When my campaign turned to cam-pain", which makes the second sentence above paradoxical, as Consequence agrees that that is what the lyric is. Third of all, that lyric alone is probably not what Consequence meant when they wrote that West rhymes "'pain' with 'pain'", as the full lyric is "Who's not entertained by my pain? Who ain't cashed a check off my name? When my campaign turned to cam-pain. I burned eight billion to takе off my chains." Pain is rhymed with pain, even when you consider an alternate version which takes "cam-pain" to be "canned pain", like HipHopDX does. So how could they be incorrect? It would probably be better if the "Burn" article just said
