I’m digging this idea. “The Hip-Hop Word Count (HHWC) is a searchable ethnographic database built from the lyrics of over 40,000 Hip-Hop songs from 1979 to present day. The database is the heart of an online analysis tool that generates textual and quantified reports on searched phrases, syntax, memes and socio-political ideas.”

More in the video below, or by clicking within the Kickstarter window underneath. He’s raised much of his $7,500 budget, but isn’t quite there yet; so chip in if you like the idea…
