    This is a really cool study done by data scientist Matt Daniels.

    He studied rap artists to see who had the largest amount of unique words in their work.

    He compared their first 35,000 lyrics, hence experienced rappers could be compared to newer ones.

    The artist with the biggest vocabulary is....Aesop Rock (and by some distance)

    Glorious irony in 'Too Short' being the second-last person on the scale.
