Even if you don't enjoy hip-hop/rap music, this is a pretty interesting chart to look at.

Aesop Rock being in first place isn't surprising at all, but a lot of the other placements are interesting.

"Some of the biggest names in hip hop were in the bottom 20%."
"snoop dogg, 2pac, Kanye west, and lil wayne."

Must've been tough to count a lot of the words for snoop.

I would like to see this done with other genres of music.

Re: Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary
 

Yes, yes! Aesop Rock! Listen to one album of his at least every week.

where are the blue scholars wtf

Re: Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary
 

You're missing some great stuff. I'd recommend Music For Earthworms, Labor Days or None Shall Pass.

One of the coolest things about Aes, for me, is how versatile he is; not only lyrically, but "phonetically" too, given how his voice changes between albums. He's definitely my favorite rapper.

Re: Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary
 

labor days and none shall pass are top notch

Re: Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary
 

I was hoping Brother Ali would be more lyrically diverse than where he was placed (in the middle, just behind Twista). He's one of my favorite rappers and he has some really good songs, though I doubt many of you guys may be familiar with him.

Needs Immortal Technique and Vinnie Paz.

Re: Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary
 

also where are the beatnuts

Re: Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary
 

i'd would have liked to see immortal technique on here as well but he's only released a few albums, right? he's good, but not very prolific

Re: Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary
