Rapalytics site preview
rapalytics.com

Rapalytics is a website that I built in 2015 to visualize a suite of analytics extracted from Rap lyrics. It was built off about 10k songs from 150 different artists using D3 & Django. I haven’t maintained it since 2015 so its pretty dated. At the time, one of the visualizations got some coverage in pop media and here are some links referring the project.

A reference I personally like the most was the wikiHow article on How to Be a Famous Rapper that cites an article I wrote exploring some basic surface-level analytics between underground & mainstream rappers 😊

The site itself has no explicit references to me and I cooked up a couple of anthropomorphic animals as the creators.
