Ohhla[edit]

Alexa ranking of 9722, possible link spam. I thought I'd put it here rather than act on the speedy tag already placed on it in case someone more in touch with hip-hop wants to argue in favour of it. No vote.-gadfium 09:29, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Before being cut and pasted on to other lyrics pages, most of the rap lyrics on the internet were originally posted on this website. Your Alexa ranking is misleading because these websites hardly ever give credit to OHHLA, so they won't get picked up in a search for "OHHLA". CPS 18:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep notable and high enough Alexa rating. Grue 20:09, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, Alexa is a perfectly legitimate ranking in this case. No evidence has been offered that large scale cut and pasting did occur and even if it did the ranking would in fact be lower, not higher, due to the number of users visiting each page to copy the information.

- Look up the lyrics to any rap song and see what you get. There will be dozens of lyrics pages with the exact same lyrics as OHHLA, which gets its lyrics from online contributors. It's easy to tell that these lyrics are the same because they almost always have mistakes. If you could find online lyrics to a rap song that aren't identical to the lyrics on OHHLA, I'd be impressed. CPS 23:03, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
