Algorithm breaks down which rappers have the best vocabularies

I am surprised Chino XL and Ras Kass did not make this list.

Its not the size its what you do with it. Lol.

Case in point Raekwon who raps in some sort of gangster matrix code but all his raps can be broken down to two statements:

I sell crack

I bought cool shit with the money

Bwahahahahahaha! I agree

funny thing is gza says he barely reads books so I wonder where he gets most of his vocabulary from

His first ones are so much better though. On all levels.

^^The last 2 Canibus albums I heard, Melatonin Magic and C of Tranquility I think they were called, were probably the best 2 albums he's done. The one before them was probably the 3rd best. ie. his best 3 albums were probably his last 3 (or the last 3 I know of).

and the lyrics on rapgenius are always wrong. i don't know what this proves apart from adding some unneeded legitimacy to hip hop, so that nascent hipsters can defend it to their outraged, milquetoast friends.

lol I wasn't even aware this word existed. I'm going to start using it now.

^^Check the dictionary first. I've looked up a couple of Bateman words before and they weren't even in there. I don't know if he just made them up or he's on some next level isht.

Thats a funny ass word describing a timid person it derived from a popular comic strip.

**Mumm Ra** · 07-31-2014, 10:28 AM
