Find out how your favorite rapper compares to Shakespeare and Melville on this handy chart!

Using the "number of unique words used within [an] artist's first 35,000 lyrics," Matt Daniels compared them to the first 35,000 words of 7 famous Shakespeare plays and the first 35,000 words of Moby Dick.

Wu-Tang Clan scored close to Melville, while my favorite, MF Doom, scored higher than Shakespeare!
