It's a more collaborative genre. It seems like when a rap artist releases an album nowadays, you'll see 12 tracks... with 15 different rappers on the project hehe.

Not many MCs can hold down an entire track by themselves.

Also, the internet has enabled a lot of collaboration between MCs.

I certainly count as one. And I also agree that Rae and Ghost are by far the best hip hop duo. It'd be really cool if you made this an interactive page.

I'd love to improve the UI. My frontend skills need work, but any suggestions on javascript for interactive graphing? I played with sigma.js for about 15 minutes.
