今天再来探讨一个有趣的课题，rapper们的歌词里常常会充满着酒精色情和暴力，在这金子亮闪闪，钞票哗啦啦的生活里，你知道在rapper们笔下，哪辆座驾是他们在歌词中最常提及的呢？人们常说，汽车可以体现一个男人的性格，其实这句话并没有错，但是放在某些rapper们头上，似乎就让人觉得有些太扯了。关于这方面有趣的讨论，一切请待下文分解。
Fancy cars have always been an important element in rap music. You can find many articles online talking about what cars rappers love the most, but they all lack the research, running their mouth with no backing evidence. Is rappers’ preferred ride Cadillac, Mercedes, Bentley, or Ferrari? Let’s turn to data science to settle this debate once and for all. By *** yzing all lyrics on Rap Genius, we’ll see which rides have been celebrated the most. Check the results..
豪华轿车一直被看作是说唱音乐的重要元素。你可以在网上找到许多文章在谈论什么车是说唱歌手的最爱，但他们都缺乏研究，没有证据支持他们的说法。说唱歌手们是更喜欢凯迪拉克、奔驰、法拉利、宾利，或其他什么？让我们转向数据科学来解决这一争论不休的问题。通过对Rap Genius上所有歌词的分析，我们可以看到哪一坐骑是饶舌歌手们的最爱。切克闹。
As seen from the chart, the most frequently mentioned car make is Mercedes Benz. Rappers love to rap about their benzes, but they rarely mention what models. If we get down to the specific model that’s most frequently mentioned, there’s no debate — it’s the Chevy Impala, most specifically the ’64 year model.
从图表上看，最常被提起及的汽车是梅赛德斯奔驰。饶舌歌手喜欢饶舌他们的坐骑，但他们很少提什么型号。如果我们到具体的型号，最经常提到的且最没有争议的必然是——雪佛兰Impala，最特别的是64年的那款。
Car Popularity Over Time 汽车风潮始终流行
Digging deeper to look at songs released throughout the years, the following is a time series *** ysis to see which makes have gained popularity and which have lost favor. An interesting correlation here is a dip for some of the most frequently mentioned luxury car makes around 2008, 2009 financial crisis. Shout out to Johnny McNulty at Someecards who have some interesting *** ysis around the trend’s correlation with economy here.
挖掘更深入地看整年发布的歌曲。下面这个时间序列分析，解释了哪些车收到了欢迎而哪些失去了青睐。有趣的相关性在于，一些最经常提到的最常见的豪华车在2008金融危机及2009年出现了倾斜。来自Someecards的Johnny McNulty从其中发现了一些有趣的经济趋势。（当然这篇文章不是一篇经济学术性论文，大家大可放心观赏）
The chart above is an overall view. We’ll break it into several categories in the following:
以上的图表是一个整体视图。我们将它分成几个类别：
Top 3 Makes 前三位
There were more mentions of Cadillac relative to Chevrolet between 1997 to 2006, but the trend inverted since 2007. Benz managed to stay on top most of the time, except between 2004 and 2007 where it was briefly surpassed by Cadillac.
有更多提到的凯迪拉克和雪佛兰是在1997至2006年，但趋势自2007年发生了倒转，除了在2004至2007之间之间，奔驰在短暂的时间内超过了凯迪拉克，它成功地留在了大部分时间里。
Makes Gaining Popularity Over Time 随着时间的推移逐渐普及
The following are makes that have been on an upward trend over the years. Worth noting that Porsche, Ferrari, Maybach, and Bugatti peaked around 2012/2013 but have declined since.
以下是几年来一直呈上升趋势的。值得注意的是，保时捷，法拉利和布加迪，迈巴赫，高峰出现在2012 / 2013年左右，但自此就开始下降。
Makes Losing Popularity Over Time 随着时间的推移失去声望
The following are makes that have declined or maintain the same level of mentions in rap songs over time. Due to the increase in rap songs released over the years, these are makes that are losing popularity amongst the artists. Jeep and Hummer serve similar functions and have very similar levels of mentions across time. Lexus was extremely popular around 1998, but has since lost steam.
以下是在说唱歌曲随着时间的推移，已经下降或保持相同的水平。由于近年说唱歌曲的更多发行量，它们都在饶舌歌手心目中失去了地位。吉普、悍马就是这样，在时间的跨越中它们都有着相似程度的提及。在1998年左右，雷克萨斯非常受欢迎，但至此便失去了后劲。
Endorsements 代言
Some major car companies benefit from rappers as endorsers, a task the rappers often take on voluntarily. But who is doing the best job as pitchman? Seeing song mentions as a form of endorsement, the following is an *** ysis of the top endorsers.
一些大的汽车公司从说唱歌手的代言中得到了利益，饶舌歌手们经常主动出击。但谁是最好的宣传员呢？看到以下饶舌歌手们的歌词提及，作为一种形式的代言，以下是对于最好好的代言人的具体分析。
Turns out The Game dominates the car endorsement game. The Compton artist wins the category hands down for seven of the major car makes, having logged more automobile mentions than any other rapper. The following are The Game’s most-endorsed cars, in order of frequency:
事实证明The Game是最好的汽车代言人。这位康普顿饶舌歌手赢得了七大汽车制造商的青睐，相比其他饶舌歌手有了更多接触豪车的机会。以下是The Game在歌词中最具认可的汽车代言，以频率排序：

除了超豪车、超跑、肌肉车之外，你可能已经注意到，图上也显示了一个频繁提及的灵车。他们被提及不是因为代言，而是因为某些不幸的发生，例如一下两句歌词：
Now in my world will it get worse. When I been trapped since birth / But I had to sleep in a hearse — 2 Pac “The Good Die Young”
