Study: Pitbull, will.i.am Among Most Repetitive Rappers
A new study at the site RapAnalysis.com has identified "the 23 most repetitive rappers." The language about how the data was compiled is kind of jargon-y, but it seems like it involved finding the number of words said in a certain number of songs, then cramming out a decimal figure (a ratio?) based on the number of words repeated within the larger scheme of things. (Head here to try to unravel the mystery, and to see the data in a spreadsheet and a index graph.)
And who are the biggest repeat offenders? Will.i.am has a large lead, followed by Pitbull and Lil Jon. After there it kind of levels out, with Kid Cudi, B.o.B., Cash Out, Yo Gotti, Chief Keef, Azealia Banks, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj coming next. Iggy Azalea shows up toward the bottom the list, too.
