- crusty 12y agoTop 10? I would put money on him being at least #2 and giving Aesop Rock a run for his money for #1 (depending on which albums his 35,000 words fall on - he's got a solid discography). I just put on A Book of Human Language(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwVNp42l3Xo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwVNp42l3Xo - full album or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnsCO0Fxw3A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnsCO0Fxw3A - solid song selection). Along with that, Wu Tang as the only crew analyzed? how about Freestyle Fellowship (Aceyalone's crew), Quannum Collective, Jurassic 5. I'd also like to see Mos Def on the list, along with everyone from Quannum, and the Soulsides and SoundBombing volumes. Also, (unique words : total words) might be an interesting scoring method, and would allow comparison over entire works regardless of their individual volumes of output. Or choosing a random sample of # of words as opposed to first # of words, as someone who started publishing as a young buck may take a hit for early immaturity.
- officialjunk 12y agoMos def is in there
- crusty 12y agothanks, must have missed him
- russelluresti 12y agoAceyalone would be a great addition. I'd also like to see Chali 2na and the whole Jurassic5 crew.
