From the mind of Creative Director and native New York-ian, Tahir Hemphill, comes The Hip-Hop Word Count… the most impressive and innovative idea to come to the game ever. The Hip-Hop Word Count is a database of Rap lyrics from over 40,000 tracks, between 1979 to today. Combining such data as word count, line count, time period and geo location, HHWC can provide unprecedented insights such as which artists used the word bitch most often, or which group of artists in which locations use the word champagne most often, and when. You have to watch this video. A truly grand idea. If it’s as striking to you as it is to me then be sure to make a monetary contribution to the project by visiting his site here.

If you didn’t know, Michael Winslow is the man. And he’s been the man since early on in his career when he was in the smash hit comedy Police Academy. Even though he’s aged, his skill remains the same… head and shoulders above all mortal men. Listen as he gives us an auditory time-line of the evolution of the typewriter. Click here to listen to the quicktime file. It’s a bit of a load but it’s worth it.
