Thanks for the heads up... I'm just about to head out for the day but I'll be sure to check this out when I get back.

I love hip-hop and stats, I'm kinda pissed I didn't think of this idea first. Haha.

Interresting...

Rival rappers
Notorious B.I.G. (1994) and Tupac Shakur (1995) display
fairly similar style characteristics: 28% of their rhymes
are 2 syllables long, 6% are three syllables, and 3% are
longer. However, Biggie’s lines are significantly shorter in
length, with, on average, 10.8 syllables to 2Pac’s 11.6.
Artists from the early 2000s like Jay-Z (2001), Eminem
(2000), and especially Fabolous (2001) favour longer
rhymes, with 15%, 17%, and 30% respectively of their
rhymes being longer than 2 syllables. They also have the
most rhyme density overall, with 2.2, 2.3, and 1.9 rhymes
per line respectively. Jay-Z and Eminem tend to use
more internal rhyme as well, having 0.8 internal rhymes
per line–about 25% higher than the average among other
MCs. Although he portrays a “thug” persona, 50 Cent
(2003) uses the most syllables per line (12.1), while Lil’
Wayne (2008) has the fewest (10.2). However, he manages
high rhyme density (0.3 rhymed syllables for each syllable
used) with relatively few (only 1.8) rhymes per line. In
general, we find that automatic rhyme detection can yield

characteristic data about performers and genres.

The one caveat is that only a limited number of songs/albums/rappers were used in the paper. Obviously if we could find more computer scientists who are also hip hop heads...we could quantify entire careers. Luckily the people I know making the "all in one" software I described earlier are huge fans of all eras of hip hop. It'll be interesting to see how they adjust flow scores for pre-Rakim and post-Rakim rappers.

Tons of people will say "this will dehumanize hip hop and make it more robotic than before" but that logic fails because:

1. Dynamic quantification is different from static quantification

2. Hip hop is already suffering in your elitist eyes, why not try something that will bring interest back to the lyrics? C'mon son.

(not directed at anyone in particular, just a general statement)

Getwitcha

If you dont like it then no need to post. Though someone who signs all of his electronic posts probably isn't smart enough to get that concept.
