Chief Keef One of The Most Profane Music Artists: Study
There's a profanity for every 20 words in Chief Keef's lyrics, making the controversial Chicago
rapperone of the most profane artists among the 361 musicians studiedby lyrics site Musixmatch.
Hip-hop artists were found to have the highest count of swear words and the highest frequency of
swear words. Country is the least profane genre, Musixmatch found.
The site studied 62 tracks from four Chief Keef albums. His most frequent swear words were a
derogatory term for women, asynonym for excrement and a racial slur. Dr. Dre, N.W.A., ASAP Rocky
and Young Thug rounded out the top five.
Lil Wayne topped the list of the most swear words in his lyrics--3,960 profanities among210 tracks
from 12 albums. The late rapper Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and T.I. were also tops.
Chief Keef, 20, released "Finally Rollin 2" and "Nobody Part 2" last year, which prompted the
rapper's labelFilmOn TV to sue his management team for interfering with his contract.
The lawsuit came after a troubledsummer for Chief Keef, whose attempts to hold a benefit concert
by hologram were thwarted in Chicago and Indiana.
