So, What Now?If you're interested in the QC internship, pick two rap songs -- one complex (Jay Z, Ras Kass, Kendrick Lamar, K-Rino, etc.) and one simpler (e.g. Gucci Mane, Lil B, Waka). Make sure both have a good amount of red lines on them. Edit them until they're perfect. Then PM @SameOldShawn and say which two songs you worked on For rock: Pick a new, "hot" rock song. Transcribe it, add it to the site, make two annotations and make forum posts trying to get people to annotate them. Then message @Swisha with what you added and why you chose it. For pop: find one pop song that needs work. Make sure you accept and edit at least one red line and make at least one NEW annotation as well. Once the song is perfect, hit up @Swisha We're VERY excited to offer these opportunities! So...who's up to the challenge? ;) -- GOAT Squad
