He should have done a different list for rappers who have been doing it longer. :manny: I understand he wanted to include guys like Drake and Wiz, but 35,000 words really isn't that much compared to how many words most of the rappers on the list have spit.

Ofc a cac would be on top in thsi list because cacs dnt know hip hop

They look at rap like some sort of national geographic type sht and think this rap sht is focused on how much big words u can fit in ya rhymess

Blacks, the masters of rhythm and musicality understand that rap is much more than words something that cacs like aesop rock dnt understand :camby:

Exactly. It's what you do with the words you use, not how many you use

And HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at Drake being two spots ahead of X.

I'm sending this to every Drake stan I know. We all knew that defense of his lyrics are complex, mature, and original was complete bullshyt. Now we have some proof about the vocab, anyway.


What's really interesting is to sort the list by time. Most of the biggest new rappers clearly have a smaller vocab than the average 90s rapper.
