We’ve built a browser based infographic that visualizes all the mentions of Champagne by U.S. rappers from 1980-2010. The infographic has 3 views: Map View, Graph View and Song View. The slider allows users to choose the range of time they want to look at. The graphic is rich with storytelling: on one hand the image of Rappers & Champagne have a legendary place in pop culture. On the other hand when you consider Champagne as an aspirational product, this infographic tells a nuanced story of Rapper’s relationship to The American Dream. Browse the datavis here.

This is brilliant. Kudos. Am feeling compelled, however, to point out that neither Asti nor Cold Duck is technically Champagne– which actually sort of adds another dimension to your study.

Thanks Sadia. You’re right they’re not Champagne but they’re used in the same function as Champagne. For some research the function is more important; for other research the Brand is.

Each time I experience something that is amazing in this Hip-Hop world of ours, I say to myself…wow this person or group or art work etc etc just took it to another level, like when I herd Wu Tang for the first…I was like, Damn these guys took it to another level. This project is another one of those things that are just on another level. This is great!

Do you have any research on other alcohol references in hip-hop such as vodka or cognac (Ciroc, Grey Goose, Hennessy, Patron)? Please email me!
