    Rappers sorted by lyrical vocabulary



    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.

Music is defined as any combination of sounds that is pleasing to the ear, so while one person may find it as "noise" another person can find it pleasing to the ear and so call "vibe" with it as how I think the kids would say it these days.

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

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

                      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.

                          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.
