[ManBearPig]

Total Name Drops: 145
Average Name Drops Per Song: 8.5
Most: 27 on "Documentary 2"
Most Mentioned Names: Dr. Dre's name comes up a total of 11 times on 8 of the 17 songs. Other most mentioned names include Kendrick Lamar, Tupac, Biggie, Suge Knight and some version of N.W.A. (either the group or solo members).

Sweet baby Jesus that's a lot of name drops. Before I started this experiment I obviously expected the number to be high, but I estimated something like...30 names, tops. Even 50 names seemed like a reach, but 145? 145?!?!?!?! Let's take a quick musical break to let the reality of that number sink in.

As a somewhat fan, most of games fan base( which isn't huge anymore) don't care or have any issue with the name dropping. The people that have been bringing it up for the last 5+ years weren't gonna check for his music anyway.

His name drops are stupid and obviously way overdone.

Game, do a damn song without a name drop. You can do it.
