Hello. Do you know songs with a great amount of words per minute?

RAP might have some, but what about UK english songs?


Songs that tell stories maybe idk

Holy shit are you ever a fanboy. Without Slayer on the brain there's no way anyone would ever consider that to be a word-dense song. 146 words, 185 syllables, 172 seconds. A one-per-second ratio just isn't really impressive.

Now Dittohead, okay, that one's decent on the WPM.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Blackalicious - Alphabet Aerobics

The words are flashed up on the video as he says them but be warned, he is one of the best.

I played it for my friend recently and he stated that there's no way someone could do that live. So I played him the live clip and he was extremely impressed.
"Withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy"

Ahah.
Wonder who made those lyrics for that rapper.

i believe scottish rap has a insane amount of words per minute which are also extremely hard to understand cause of the accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG2lZza0AvE (the recording is proper, start at 0:30, and yes, that IS english)





And heres something you might find interesting:

not a large amount of words per minute but fuck me you gotta keep a dictionary handy when you listen to these lyrics(at least in my case since english is not my native language)

Aesop Rock.

(There are some typos in the lyrics. Oh well. You get the idea.)

As far as something you can 'sing along to', this is about as clear and sharp as Aes gets:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sClhmDN5Fcs&feature=kp

(again, some typos. The net is full of lyrics resources though.)

You won't find a more rich or diverse 'hip hop' lyricist, although I prefer Illogic, who is still very erudite but gifted with a certain...passion that Aes sometimes lacks:

This is a clever little piece.

Other than that, I dunno. Diverse lyrical vocabulary doesn't seem to be a big point in other genres, let alone anything you can 'sing along to'. They seem to be much more about either getting the rhymes in or telling a story, neither of which typically demand a heavy vocabulary.



Really good song! Thanks a lot.
I will tell you which i prefer another day. For now i can say that Aesop Rock are impressive.

@VictorDoom: Thanks, the second music is relaxing.
