看到了一個統計rapper「辭彙量」的圖片,作者 Matt Daniels(根據本人很差的英語,這個是作者統計各個藝人歌詞里35000個辭彙中出現的unique words,我的理解是35000個詞中沒有重複使用的詞的數量)

貼上作者的解釋

This project was originally published in 2014 and recently updated in January 2019 with newer lyrics data and 75 additional artists, including Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Migos, and 21 Savage.

It compares the number of unique words used by some of the most famous artists in hip hop (that is, an example of a quantitive view of lyricism, once proposed by Tahir Hemphill). I used each artist』s first 35,000 lyrics. This way, prolific artists, such as Jay-Z, can be compared to newer artists, such as Drake.

35,000 words covers 3 to 5 studio albums and EPs. I included mixtapes if the artist was short of the 35,000 words. Quite a few rappers don』t have enough official material to be included (for example, Biggie, Chance the Rapper, Queen Latifah, and El-P).

Since the original release, there』s now a notable trend of fewer unique words among newer artists. This is easier to see in the following chart, where I highlighted each artist』s primary decade, based on album release dates for their vocabulary calculation (the first 35,000 lyrics).

有英語好的大佬可以大概翻譯一下

而Eminem,在這裡

好像並沒有想像中的那麼高 不過這個確實不能完全說明一個人的辭彙量,但是還是可以代表一些問題的。

個人認為的排名中與Em差不多且作詞實力相近的rapper

有一些「出乎意料」

超愛的小破團也在

Wu-Tang Clan真的強

更新

補充一個鄉村、搖滾和嘻哈的對比


他寫詞的恐怖不僅體現在辭彙量上,還有對詞語雙關的運用以及典故。

舉個例子,MGK diss《Killshot 》,有一部同名電影,裡面一個叫Colson 的人死在9.19,而Colson 正好是MGK 的中間名,而且9.19正好是姆爺發布這首歌的時間。


謝瑤

是我迄今為止見過辭彙量最大的rapper

你可以上genuis查一下Eminem看一下歌詞,是真的辭彙量大典故上到希臘神話,下到黃色雜誌,diss人起來能把被diss者的父母的黑料都扒出來押韻不是故意吹姆,客觀事實好吧~_~

就是看得出來絕對啃過字典的那種

舉個例子:

這是我初中時抱著牛津學到的詞(與性有關 譯者當然不能將它翻譯得太直接)

當時 乃至現在我接觸的人都沒有知道這是什麼意思的 我也沒在其他地方見過這個詞

一個極其少見的詞 被Em放進lyrics中

說明他應該經常查閱字典


之前有研究數據量化了辭彙量。Eminem 排第一。https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/24/entertainment/eminem-kanye-bob-dylan-study-music-feat/index.html

他也在採訪時說過,日常讀字典。

安妮喂,有興趣的可以去genius找他。em有genius帳號,會註解自己的歌詞。非常好玩。

"People diss each other, but its more in the vein of "How can I kill you with record sales? Or with a flow? How can I be better than you at making records, at punchlines, metaphors, wordplay, syllables?"""People were saying that I sounded like AZ and Nas. I was upset. Not to say that I didnt love AZ and Nas, but for a rapper to be compared to someone, for people to say that you sound like someone else — nobody wants that. "

《godzilla》的一句歌詞,大意是「一群人拿著韋氏詞典就想搞說唱」

說明說唱是要背詞典的……


簡直了 難以估計無法計數姆爺有很多我見都沒見過可一查絕對有 難以預料


筆作骨骼,紙為血肉

em很猛的點之一就是用韻腳切flow,不卡反而非常順滑,對辭彙的掌握要求很高,不光是辭彙量大,還要考慮到音節的銜接


其實並不是想像中那麼大 主要靠gucci game襯托
