<p>Mark Zuckerberg is hardly the first billionaire <a href="http://betabeat.com/2013/02/rumor-roundup-rap-genius-cofounder-cant-stop-wont-stop/">turned off by the antics</a> of Rap Genius cofounder Mahbod Moghadam. As Betabeat learned while <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/10/rap-genius-andreessen-horowitz-ben-horowitz-internet-talmud/">reporting a featur</a><a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/10/rap-genius-andreessen-horowitz-ben-horowitz-internet-talmud/">e</a> on the startup's $15 million investment round from Andreessen Horowitz, Mr. Moghadam's career in tech began only after he yapped his way out of an internship with Warren Buffet.</p>
<p>In the midst of the recession, Mr. Moghadam was given a year off--with reduced pay--from the law firm Dewey &amp; LeBoeuf. Only Berkshire Hathaway <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/10/rap-genius-andreessen-horowitz-ben-horowitz-internet-talmud/">found his personal blog</a>, Beneficent Allah, where he wrote a <a href="http://beneficentallah.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html">satirical billable memo</a> referencing the “Ballstate Insurance Company." Allstate was a client of Dewey's, the offer was rescinded and long story short, Mr. Moghadam now gets to <a href="http://betabeat.com/2013/02/rumor-roundup-rap-genius-cofounder-cant-stop-wont-stop/">dine with Nas</a>.<!--more--></p>
<p>Not content with his good fortune, however, Mr. Moghadam has decided to use his company to <a href="http://rapgenius.com/discussions/20432-Rap-genius-contest">launch a contest soliciting diss tracks</a>--<a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/11/rap-genius-byron-crawford-yet-another-diss-video-byron-crawford/">something of a habit</a> with this guy--about Mr. Buffett. As Mr. Moghadam later explained, "Warren Buffett is a little bitch tho. I can't believe he bought a RAILROAD with CASH. it's like 'hey! warren! there's this thing.. it's like the NEW railroad! it's called the INTERNET!'fucking grandpa, setting the US economy back, hustling goldman sachs, true scumbag."</p>
<p>Here is an unedited version of the gChat conversation about the contest:</p>
