Eminem, SlaughterHouse and Yelawolf – ‘2.0 Boys’
This collective is what those Dr.Dre headphones were made for.
Rap nerds unite! Six uber lyrical rappers in a pissing contest on tape. Elliott Wilson was right when he TWitted that this song here would have raps fans shitting on their keyboards. Rockabye Review stays on they grizzly. They transcribed the entire song for review by the internets. Let’s do some math and see who built the sickest verse.
Understand that each rapper’s verse is like a jigsaw puzzle and the complexity of each puzzle rises with the addition of polysyllabic words. These words have to be inserted into the rapper’s bars properly for the puzzle to fit. We’ll crunch the numbers and see if our ears tell us the same thing that the arithmetic does.
 |
Royce da 5’9″ Total word count = 170 Polysyllabic words = 10 Longest word = hieroglyphics Avg. = 17.0 |
 |
Eminem Total word count = 223 Polysyllabic words = 9 Longest word = Illuminati Avg. = 24.75 |
 |
Joell Ortiz Total word count = 200 Polysyllabic words = 5 Longest word = definitively Avg. = 40.0 |
 |
Joe Budden Total word count = 194 Polysyllabic words = 7 Longest word = cesspoolers Avg. = 27.7 |
 |
Crooked I Total word count = 157 Polysyllabic words = 8 Longest word = psychotic Avg. = 19.625 |
 |
Yelawolf Total word count = 291 Polysyllabic words = 9 Longest word = Illuminati Avg. = 32.33 |
Royce pwned this track by his average score and Joell Ortiz came in last average wise, but the Joell Ortiz verse was the more sonically creative and the Yelawolf verse was just a ginormous feast off the track. In terms of impact I would score the song like this…
1. Royce
2. Crooked
3. Yela
4. Ortiz
5. Em
6. Budden
