I’d like to see some Illogic songs analyzed. Are you going to publish this code open source?

Illogic - Celestial Clockwork is some of the best rhymes ive ever heard.

Other emcees that could probably score as high as Rakim, if not more so, are Just-Ice, early LL Cool J, T-LA Rock, Kool Moe Dee, MC Shan, Pharaohe Monch, Ras Kass, Big Pun, GZA the Genius, Canibus, Melle Mel, Grandmaster Caz, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Lauryn Hill and Kool G Rap.

Speaking of LL, is there any chance that you could do Rock the Bells (the ORIGINAL version from Def Jam Classics Vol. 1; also appears as a B-side to the “Rock the Bells” twelve inch)? I would be EXTREMELY curious to see how highly that one scores.

I would be REALLY interested in the score that “Lyrics of Fury” would have gotten…

We calculate the final score by averaging the syntax (readability measures) and semantic (artistic sophistication) scores of each rhyme. The top end of the scale is 20.

so what’s the highest score a song can get? we’re not considering use of metaphor and it’s depth?? double entendre??
