shyt like this is only kind of interesting, mostly boring to me. But I was laughing at DMX being dead last and the four dudes he has way below average on the chart.

And HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at Drake being two spots ahead of X.

 

[the rhyme king]

alot of people big l big punisher jay-z nas biggie

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Nelly edged out Lupe Fiasco. Wu-Tang is up there.

 

[observe]

The only reason why E40 and Das efx are ranked high is cuz those are made up words..so it falls under "unique" ..they shouldn't count ..and hieroglyphics should be at the top of that list

 

[g-ice]

Makes sense that guys like 50, DMX, heck even Drake are low in that list. They make more catchier shyt.

Cats like the Clan were more diverse with their music.

Edit: Bone Thugs being low on that list

Then again it was always dump dump, murda, red rum with them.

 

[CM_Burns]

Birdman should be last, I know hasn't used more than 100 words in his verses.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

I wonder where Chief Keef would rank? scutta

 

[intilectual recipricol]

first 35,000 lyrics? WTF is that?

 

[volk]

first 35,000 lyrics? WTF is that?

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."

Theres a hilarious post over on okayplayer by a guy that is hated by that board of fakkits highlighting how truly awful Krayzie Bobe the solo artist is. I may swipe it. It's telling.

AWESOME

some of the artists I stan for the most...... and THESE ARE MY HEROES...... The Roots, Canibus, Wu Tang ....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....

DMX with that onamatopeia

Nelly edged out Lupe Fiasco. Wu-Tang is up there.

........ ..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. .... 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

Great thread...
