Eminem has music’s biggest vocabulary, study says

EMINEM topped the musical vocabulary list, using almost 9,000 unique words in his songs. And it is said that music artists Eminem, Kanye West and Bob Dylan have something surprising in common.

According to a new study, the trio are among the top five artists with the largest vocabularies in the music industry.

Varun Jewalikar and Nishant Verma, who put the report together for the lyrics site Musixmatch, looked at 93 artists across 25 genres from pop to new age. The pair then compared across the 100 densest songs (by total number of words) that they have released. Eminem topped the list with 8,818 unique words used, followed by Jay Z with 6,899, the late Tupac Shakur with 6,569 and West with 5,069. Legendary singer-songwriter Dylan came in fifth with 4,883.

The study weighed vocabulary size (the number of unique words across any language used by an artist in the 100 — or fewer — densest songs across their career), lyrical density (the total number of words used) and ‘new word interval’ (the number of words after which a new word is used).

NINTENDO have released a new game that might well answer the prayers of budding game designers the world over.

Recently, Super Mario Maker was released for the Wii U; it allows players to create their own Mario levels and challenges, spanning several of the iconic series of games’ incarnations, including Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros.

Moreover, players can upload their level creations for other players around the world to attempt. The idea was loosely inspired by 1992 SNES offering Mario Paint, a now-legendary hybrid paint tool and music making game. The game was revealed at E3 last year, then tweaked and unveiled at this year’s event.
