>While Lil Wayne has never been celebrated for the complexity of his word choices, I expected 2pac, Snoop, and Kanye to be well above average.

Huh, with 2012 restricted data he didn't include most of these rapper's opus but he expected differently?

He's keeping things "fair" (at least to dead artists) by only including the first 35k words of any artist. Just because time has passed and artists have a larger corpus it wouldn't make a difference under this method.

I've wondered where Eyedea would end up...
