Hip Hop Charts: If (Sum(O) >= Oodles) Then...

How can you have mad knowledge, science, or Professor without mad charts? Via Fimoculous, "rap represented in mathematical charts and graphs" does what it says on the tin, taking half-remembered or fully-loved snippets out of context and turning them into funny abstractions. For example:

snoop dogg

Or, since the tag cloud shows Kanye is about as big as Arcade Fire, something a little more familiar:

there's a thousand a yous, but only one of me

Not ready for charts? Maybe you want to start with multiplication rap. The rest of you can find all the charts here, or check out our personal favorites by jump-clicking or whatever it's called:

afroman's options

blacker n' black, y'all

100% of eyez on me

@ted- maybe these weren't peer-reviewed. or the echo counts? snoop doogg doesn't sound all bad.

please don't start the "first comment" thing here, I'd rather that be kept over at Perez Hilton's piece of garbage site.

@Ted- Yeah, the guy who made the Snoop Dogg one realized his error a little too late. One forum made quite a few of these which inspired another forum to take the idea and run with it.

We need to flip the second one for Nine Inch Nails:

There is no you, there is only me.

Dude, you like totally ripped this entire conceit from Rob Harvilla's "This is Why I'm Hot" Mims thing from the Village Voice. At least give him the courtesy of an acknowledgment.

@inspector, we just posted our favorites from what we found on another site- we didn't make these. no idea if some of them predate harvilla's piece, which was pretty funny. we'd love to know where they came from in the first place (somethingawful was my first guess, too, but still no links).
