Well this is interesting .. at least for us geeky hip-hop heads.
Martin Connor, a 2012 Duke University graduate who founded Rap Analysis, a site dedicated to teaching people how to listen to rap, obtained an index of data compiled by a data analyst who created an algorithm that shows which rappers repeat themselves the most. Just so it’s clear … It is NOT a good thing to be on this list and it’s one of my pet peeves to hear an emcee repeat themselves.
At the top of the list are the Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am and Pitbull. Considering quality/ pop nature of both artists, I’m not too surprised. However, it’s not a good look for artists like Nicki Minaj, B.o.B, and Kid Cudi.
Take a look at an illustrative graph of the results
