Snoop Dogg to Induct Tupac Shakur into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

[OC] I used a textual sentiment analyzer to see how opinions of "More Life" changed during OVO Sound Radio and over the following week.

Posted: 26 Mar 2017 04:50 PM PDT

What's up r/hiphopheads. I'm sure you're all getting pretty sick of the constant posts about "More Life" but I think this is a bit different than usual.

The premiere of "More Life" was an undeniably huge event and right from the get-go there seemed to be a pretty wide spectrum of opinions about the album/playlist. As per usual on Reddit, commenters were pretty polarized. Some thought it was the greatest Drake project ever while others were unabashed haters. After browsing the OVO Sound Radio game thread for a bit, I set out to quantify how r/hhh's thoughts about the playlist changed during the premiere.

To quantify the positive or negative sentiments of every top-level comment in the thread, I used the VADER Sentiment Analysis toolkit and python. The toolkit basically takes the text you give it and then looks for positive and negative words in order to assign the text a score between -1 and 1. After grabbing all of the Reddit comments I removed emojis and other characters that messed with the sentiment analysis and then imported the resulting data into Excel. The results are as follows.

Top Level Comment Sentiment During OVO Sound Radio

Clearly there were some highs and lows to "More Life". r/hhh seemed to dig the middle part of the album the most and there doesn't seem to be a lot of love for the slower tunes on the album like Passionfruit. Also, the Kayne feature on Glow really did not go over well. It's worth noting that since this is the first time I've done this sentiment analysis, the resulting numbers are all relative to themselves. It would be cool to see how the data would compare to something like a Kendrick premiere but alas, there's no Black Hippy Radio (yet).

I also ran the sentiment analyzer on top level comments in the First Impressions Thread, the Fantano Review Thread, and the Week-After Discussion thread. The First Impressions thread had an average sentiment of 0.311 (N=750), the Fantano Review Thread had an average sentiment of 0.0988 (N=156), and the Week-After Discussion Thread had an average sentiment of 0.422 (N=128). Its not really surprising to see that Fantano reduced the positive sentiments, some of the comments in that thread were just talking negatively about him and not "More Life".

All in all I'm pretty happy with the way this project went. It didn't take a whole lot of time and provided some pretty interesting results. As a final note, I'd like to say that the sentiment analysis tool that I used is by no means perfect. There were most definitely some comments that the analyzer misconstrued as positive or negative when they were the opposite. That being said, on the whole the analyzer is pretty solid and I think most of my results are valid.

Let me know if you have any further questions, I'm happy to try and clarify anything.
