Which Rapper Has The Largest Vocabulary in Hip Hop (an interesting study)

[5 Grand]

Well it seems like by your 3rd or 4th album you should be using new words, not the same words you used on the previous albums. Thats why Pac got listed so low.

 

[BenjaminE]

of course the only flaw in it is they picked certain rappers. Like why they put Aesop Rock but no El-P, Camu Tao, Myka 9, Rass Kass, Aceyalone, Kool Moe Dee, Percee P, and etc.? Why they even put groups/duos in there?

I was also surprised there was no el-p but he included aesop, but couldn't be bothered to update the graph... the study seems to be misleading, especially when it's adjusted to have gza near u-god... also, the amount of vocabulary used doesn't mean the rapper is better... it just means they may not know how to get their point across in a concise manner...

So X is somewhere right now trying to find the words to express just how mad he is about this list ........ arf arf arf

 

[sully]

i'm surprised Lupe is so low. thought he'd be at least near the middle

Like I been telling you Jigga bitches for years Jay Z is a BELOW AVERAGE MC. I'm glad this has been proven mathematically. Everyone in my top 5 is above Jay z on this list including Lil Flip.

 

[KingFreeman]

How does game even make the list unless your counting other niggas names as unique? Get this list the Foh.

u do realize if we did the same for IC posters, you'd be right at the bottom, somewhere b/w bcotton and supergangster, right?

I ain't worried about none of that off brand bullshit you trying to derail the thread with. I'm talking about that dumb ass rapper y'all call the goat that have 13 albums saying the same shit over and over because his vocabulary is limited. He already said in 03 that his music was for dumb people but now we can get a good glimpse on why he said it. And to think Jay Z had all you dick riding faggots making fun of Nas for "kicking knowledge". Just like any one with below average intelligence and limited vocabulary he lost his linguistic battles to everyone who ranked higher than him (Nas, cam, prodigy).

i got a bag of feelings i could sell you, but for dumbasses, like you, i usually give them out for free.

If you want me to address your first idiotic post, then here it is...

1. Vocabulary isn't indicative of the words you use, but the words you have at your disposable.

2. Good vocabulary has nothing to do with how much you use, but their usage in their correct context.

3. Counting words and using that as a basis to assess someone has a large vocabulary is one step above numerology. If counting the amount of words someone has used was indicative of their vocabulary, rapping the dictionary from A-Z would mean someone had a large vocabulary. Saying this proves anything mathematically is tantamount to saying post count equals intelligence, and you're clear proof that isn't true.

4. Emceeing isn't just the words you use, but how you use them and what you're actually saying. And how the music sounds.

I can go on to prove you wrong point-by-point, but if you put your forehead hard enough against your monitor, your retarded brain might absorb some of what i just wrote.

It was people that had at least 3 albums, I know that. That's why Biggie or Kendrick Lamar aren't included

Really, Life After Death was a double album. Big didn't have 3,500 words? I guess it was because of the features. What if you included that Best of Biggie mixtape that Mr Cee put out? I wonder if that would add up to 3,500?

35,000 is not 3,500

 

[TalaNight]

Kool G Rap earned that

 

[#1hiphopjunki3]

What about Pharaohe Monch? I know he would be higher up on the list. I'm not surprised by Kool Keith being o high up there but I was surprised UGod wack ass was so high on the list and especially higher on the list than GZA & RZA

 

[dalyricalbandit]

arff arfff arfffff XXXXXXXX babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Rahlow]

I knew MF DOOM would make top 10...lol... but top 10-20 aint bad

no Pharoah Monch?

no Keith Murray?

individuals from the Hiero/Souls?

hell, no Special Ed or Master Ace?

 

[MoneyLuver]

I'm still trying to figure out this whole 2pac "hennessey and enemies" thing.

Sounds like sum random madeup shit JUST TO hate on a nigga

 

[MoneyLuver]

I'm pretty sure I've heard every Pac song put out there ever and I'm pretty sure he only used those words twice [or maybe three times] to rhyme (differently) & two of those songs were technically unreleased.

 

[Listencloser]

How does game even make the list

I guess they count name drops as unique words.

 

[*~queenbee~*]

Also, I'm not suprised to see Tupac at #68. His vocab wasn't hat deep and he kept rhyming Hennessy with Enemy

He said that in every song of his.

 

[*~queenbee~*]

Tupac vocabulary- Hennesy enemies babies bitches niggas ride thug life westside bestside repeat any word four times and you got 10 of his most popular songs.

Exactly, lol

 

[A Talented One]

When started reading this I thought of Canibus, so I'm not surprised to see that he's one of the top rappers for this.

This verse (starting at 3:00) remains one of hip hop's greatest.
