Surprisingly high word count for DMX. Do grunts and barks count as words?

Does unique words mean unintelligible shite? If so, I agree

I love DMX. If you took away cuss words, the n word and the word "dog," about 50% of his rhymes no longer exist.

Example:

How is it possible that GZA and RZA have larger vocabularies than the entire Wu Tang Clan?

Not surprised. Might be the best rappers as either a group or individuals in the genre's history. Smart lyrics, great musical orchestrations. They are to rap/hiphop as Tool is to metal/prog, led zepplin is to rock and Garth Brooks is to modern country.
