If it were accurate tech would be #1 by far. the dude just flat out makes shit up sometimes. unless of course the words have to actually be words, and not just gibberish or a couple words mashed into one weird anomaly of a word. the graph says "# of unique words" so :-k


It mentions that their entire discography wasn't analysed, so I'm assuming they only went as far as Everready/MLK.
well not even that but like half of his discography is features and guest appearances. and most of his lyrics aren't posted online, only about 40% of them from my experience.

Neither Tech nor Em use the type of vocabulary Aesop does. There's a reason he's so far above everyone else on the chart that he's practically off the scale. Say what you want, but vocabulary wise? Nah...

That's not to say he's for everyone though.

Truth.

How many albums into their discopgraphy? Did they go by the amount of words so it was fair?

I'd be curious to know how many unique words each Eminem album has. My guess would be that Encore would have the least and Recovery/Relapse or even MMLP2 potentially having the most.

I decided to compare this data point against the most famous artists in hip hop. I used each artist’s first 35,000 lyrics. That way, prolific artists, such as Jay-Z, could be compared to newer artists, such as Drake.
