Joey Bada$$, who manages 180 wpm, is the best amateur of the bunch, followed by DyMe-A-DuZiN (179.7 wpm) and Shawn Chrystopher (174.2), but none comes close to Twista’s 280 wpm.
How do they compare to the professionals? With a few special exceptions (such as Nas ), most of the site’s verified users are amateurs. Here, “top” indicates a user has a high Rap IQ (a number based on how much he contributes to the online rap community) and “verified” means the user has uploaded at least one song of his own. We expanded our search to look at top verified users on Rap Genius. Our next question was whether the professionals were really the fastest in the game. Check out the video below where he manages 183.4 wpm. And even when Twista’s not reaching those top speeds, he sounds pretty fast.
Our clear winner is Twista, who puts away 1,287 words in 4 minutes 36 seconds in the song “Mista Tung Twista.” That’s an average of 280 words per minute (wpm), or four times faster than Jay Z. Rap Genius’s first-place choice, Twisted Insane, comes in ninth for us. (Using just the one song, and not factoring for musical or other interludes may affect the results here, but we can still get a quick take on how the rappers rank.) That means we judged only on speed, whereas Rap Genius also considered consistency and skill. We looked at each rappers’ most popular song on the website (excluding ones in which the artists were merely featured) and calculated how many words they managed to utter per minute. You’ll see that while the trends above may seem big, they actually represent less than 0.1 percent of all raps. That doesn’t bode well for Rap Genius research on artists’ rap speed.įiveThirtyEight is keen to develop accurate rap research, so we tested the 10 fastest rappers according to Rap Genius to see whether their rankings were justified. So, I will only list a bunch of songs that the community accepts fast.But here at FiveThirtyEight, it’s our job to spot axis labels.
I won’t say that any song is the fastest, because it would surprise you at how often all parts of this culture change, and how fast you measure what rap songs to include. One of the key aspects of the style is the maintenance of the quality of lyrics to rhyme and content while having a fast pace. The beat tempo of chopper songs is often much more than most other rap genres, especially from the Midwest, ranging from 90 BPM to 180 BPM. This style is typically characterized by the inclusion in each bar and line of two or three times more syllables than most other forms of rap. Times change, Culture change, so does hip hop music and their sub-genres.Ĭhopper is a hip hop style that has originated in the US Midwest and is rhyming or rapping quickly. Unlike other music genres, content delivery (or poetry) is fast in hip hop, and perhaps it’s one of the major distinguishing aspects.īut some rappers always love taking things to the extreme (I mean to the extreme’s extreme). Rapping (or hip-hop music) is a musical form of vocal performance incorporating rhyme, rhythmic speech, vocal expression, and the street vernacular, interpreted or sung in a wide range of ways.
