== Summary ==
Song lyrics, annotations and descriptions on Genius are mostly [[WP:UGC|user-generated content]] and are thus generally unreliable. There is no consensus on the reliability of articles, interviews and videos produced by Genius. Verified commentary from musicians falls under [[WP:BLPSELFPUB]], and usage of such commentary should conform to that policy.
