This is why I love Busdriver so much. Also, lmao at NF being at the bottom. The irony is astounding.

how's the middle school going?

do boomers really think middle schoolers care about JB anymore lol

If he was a rapper, yes. He wouldn't use thesaurus and would rely on his own knowledge of language. Which is not enough.

who's that at the farthest of the right?

He doesn't have a huge discography yet.

Shakespeare literally made up his own words

If you only enjoy a Rap song based on how many unique words the Rapper used, you shouldn't listen to Rap, because that's not the point. Read a dictionary or something instead.

What's the modern rap equivalent? How many designer brands a rapper can name?

Rappers and the streets in which they grew up created their own slangs too. Infact, slangs is included in the word count of this chart. That's why the Wu-Tang and E-40 are so high in the list

>I used a research methodology called token analysis to determine each artist’s vocabulary. Each word is counted once, so pimps, pimp, pimping, and pimpin are four unique words. To avoid issues with apostrophes (e.g., pimpin’ vs. pimpin), they’re removed from the dataset. It still isn’t perfect. Hip hop is full of slang that is hard to transcribe (e.g., shorty vs. shawty), compound words (e.g., king shit), featured vocalists, and repetitive choruses.
>Of course E-40 is in the top 20%; he’s considered to be the inventor of many slang terms. Just a few that he’s been responsible for coining or popularizing: “all good,” “pop ya collar,” “shizzle,” and “you feel me.”
>Outkast’s expansive vocabulary is definitely a function of their style: frequent use of portmanteaus (for example, “ATLiens,” “Stankonia”), southern drawl (for example, “nahmsayin,” “ery’day”), and made-up slang (for example, “flawsky-wawsky”).

>more words mean that it must be better

Is there a website you can use to work this out? I want to see where Paul Smith ranks.

Imagine having less vocabulary than NBA Youngboy...

WHAT IS THIS, A GRAPH FOR ANTS?

what website?

This is like a 6 year old graphic that only counts the first 5000 lyrics or something, so you're basically only getting their first 2 albums.

it's diversity of words not "more words"

>5 Albums
>2 EP's

>divide wutang by 9 members
>600 words

thanks mate

>flawsky-wawsky
what the fuck does that even mean???

wtf I didn't know Moby Dick had a sequel. was it good?

read the damn website :
>I used each artist’s first 35,000 lyrics
>This way, prolific artists, such as Jay-Z, can be compared to newer artists, such as Drake.
>35,000 words covers 3 to 5 studio albums and EPs. I included mixtapes if the artist was short of the 35,000 words. Quite a few rappers don’t have enough official material to be included (for example, Biggie, Chance the Rapper, Queen Latifah, and El-P).
>Since the original release, there’s now a notable trend of fewer unique words among newer artists. This is easier to see in the following chart, where I highlighted each artist’s primary decade, based on album release dates for their vocabulary calculation (the first 35,000 lyrics).

35k is 7 times 5k, so if 5k is "only getting their first 2 albums", then here by your own logic and words, you are getting their first 14 albums.

moby dick squared, meaning the unique word count of moby dick multiplied by itself (36,264,484 unique words). that's how immense some rappers' vocabularies are
