Picasso, Baby!

Picasso, Baby!, a network graph that visualises the connections between rappers and the modern and contemporary painters they name drop in their rhymes.

Picasso, Baby! provides insight regarding community networks through descriptive trends in content; the historical relationship that rappers have to the artistic mastery of Pablo Picasso; Jay-Z as influencer; the perceived archetypal divisiveness of Yoko Ono; and the recent increased popularity of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
