Proving its not about how many words you use but how you use em:blessed:...glad my nikka Too Short didn't have to be last:whew:....I think his use of the word "pimpin" and "biatch" probaly put him over the top as that's considered "unique":pachaha:

What's funny too is that DMX and Canibus were on a track together at about the same time they came into popularity ..... :ehh:

Whole thread about to be :popcorn:

first page :wow:

AWESOME

some of the artists I stan for the most...... and THESE ARE MY HEROES...... The Roots, Canibus, Wu Tang :ohlawd: ....even the homie Killah Priest is in the top .. its not some dumb fascination, I enjoy these motherfockers music b/se they spit hot unique shiit .....and don't repeat the same shiit over and over again. .....

So Rae going tell RZA if not on the next album you going be loosing 17% of the lyrical firepower

Lil Wayne has spit more than anybody probably in the last decade, but he's repeating the same shiit.... :laugh:

DMX with that onamatopeia :lolbron:



:wtf: ........ :deadrose: ..how is that possible.....ACTUALLY NO... hover over the picture and Lupe edges out Nelly by a few words...but still damn....and what the fuuck is Wale saying that has him ahead of that many people...

What would be really interesting to see is the correlation between this list and lifetime money generated. That's the thing, it is probably those artists slightly to the left that have made the the most money, but have said the least. :lupe: .... of course we know that anyway .... chicks ain't dancing to multisyllabic Canibus rhymes.......I'm surprised Eminem and Talib are not further to the right, and surprised Common is ahead of both of them :patrice:

Great thread...

Well Eminem for someone that can spit never really broaden his vocabulary tbh

The person who made it explained this on reddit:

"Started with 50K and realized too many rappers had to be excluded. Kept lowering the threshold until it included the bulk of artists (like drake) that I wanted in the chart."
I saw that, but what are the "1st 35,000"? Say for Twista, did he kick it off with Runnin Off At Da Mowf? Did he go back to the days when he was rappin under the name Cavalier? Did he start with the unknown album Resurrection? Or does it begin with AR? What if buddy had a million guest spots between his albums, do those count?

Its impossible to determine the 1st 35,000 lyrics.
