MCs: Height vs. Ability (Correlation?)





A while back (according to the original .txt file I have - April 22, 2010) I wanted to do a study on the correlation (if there is one) between the heights of MCs and their abilities. I've gathered a decent amount of information (some from Google, etc. - some from Twitter replies from the MCs themselves) already, but there's still a lot more I'd like to get. Here's what I have so far:

Tech N9ne - 5'5"
Big Boi - 5'6"
Lil' Wayne - 5'6"
Cee-Lo - 5'6 1/2"
Timbaland - 5'7"
Eminem - 5'8"
Nas - 5'8"
Obie Trice - 5'8"
DZK - 5'9"
Royce Da 5'9" - 5'9"
Kanye West - 5'9"
T.I. - 5'9"
Xzibit - 5'9 3/4"
Sticky Fingaz - 5'9 3/4"
Lupe Fiasco - 5'9"-5'10"
2Pac - 5'10"
Andre 3000 - 5'10"
Proof - 5'10"
Kid Cudi - 5'10" or 5'11"
Fabolous - 5'11"
DMX - 5'11"
Murs - 6'
50 Cent - 6'
Young Buck - 6'
LL Cool J - 6' 1/2"
Busta Rhymes - 6'1"
Dr. Dre - 6'1"
Jay-Z - 6'1 1/2"
Redman - 6'1 1/2"
Lloyd Banks - 6'2"
Flo Rida - 6'2"
Warren G - 6' 2 3/4"
Method Man - 6'3"
The Notorious B.I.G. - 6'3"
Snoop Dogg - 6'3 1/2"
The Game - 6'4"
Wiz Khalifa - 6'4"
Copywrite - 6'4"

So...The shortest MC I've retrieved said info on is the greatest MC to ever live: Aaron Dontez Yates aka Tech N9ne. For the most part, the best MCs, IMO of course, are under 6'. Correlation? Maybe. Interesting? For sure. *TO BE UPDATED*
