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).

Band To Watch: Hospital Ships

As we pass saturation point for press coverage of Montreal, Portland, Brooklyn and et cetera, it seems Lawrence, Kansas is poised for its coming turn in the music media trend piece carousel. At least from what we're hearing; this marks...

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...
