Six Degrees of Hip-Hop

An interactive force-directed graph of every major connection in hip-hop (collaborations, beefs, label signings, mentorships) covering 300-odd artists, producers and labels from 1984 to now. Click an artist to see their web. Toggle Beef Mode to watch the map light up with grievance. Or use the Six Degrees tool to find the shortest path between any two figures (Lil Peep to Jay-Z is the example they suggest, which tells you something about the sensibility).
