Abstract:

A Tribe Called Quest is an influential hip-hop group that was most popular in the 1990s. The group was made of two primary members, Phife and Q-Tip, each having their own distinctive style. After summarizing all of their lyrics in a document term matrix, we seek to better understand their styles by building a regression model that predicts which member said each verse.
