Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Everyone’s always talking about taking hip hop to the next level. Who knew that next level was Microsoft Excel? Aclevercookie has compiled a whole bunch of rap songs done up in chart and graph style, and I thought they were too funny not to mention. I’ve posted a few of my favorites below, but there’s plenty more at Aclevercookie.com. Link via Johnny “Barefoot” Cascarano.
More after the jump…

Not sure if you re-saved these and compressed them or what, but I can’t read most of them.

clevercookie’s site is showing a page full of goatse at the moment, so you might want to either warn folks or pull the link.

Ummm… I don’t know about everyone else, but the link, which was originally the graphs and funny, has now turned to something NSFW on my computer for some reason. Is this happening to anyone else?

Just because I saw it doesn’t mean you’re not crazy Chase. :-)

Wow… not sure what happened with that link, so I pulled it off. If you want to see more, just go to aclevercookie.com, and then click on the raps graphs post on the links on the right side of the screen.

This is a better link: jamphat.com/rap
The Everything chart down by the bottom is the best.
