A few days ago, this awesome hip-hop-related research project surfaced the web:
The Largest Vocabulary in Hip Hop
by Matt Daniels
The study shows vocabulary and lyrics comparison between 85 hip-hop and rap artists.
Find all the info and a cool data chart here.
Speaking of vocabulary (ha, get it?), there's the Hip-Hop Lexicon Coloring Project a.k.a HHLCP by sameroner
HHLCP is an open project where artists submit black and white lineart of graffiti sketches to be coloured. The words are, of course, related to hip-hop and street culture. I am proud to be a co-founder and contributor to the project. My entries so far are the full alphabet piece and words for letters A to J but I'm signed up to complete all the entries. In the project gallery you can find the intricate lines of MYTH22 and the wild and sharp ones by anteiichi and cheshirecan so head over HHLCP, pick some sketches and start colouring!
