Before creating our project we made the prediction that Takeoff would be the most vital member of Migos in the sense that he wrote most of their music. Using sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and classifier models we determined that our prediction was incorrect. Our machine learning data showed us that Quavo was responsible for writing most of their music.
Project Overview:
Our project began with taking all of the lyrics from each individual member of the hip-hop group Migos in their 8 most prominent albums. After writing csv’s for each artist we compiled all of our data into a single csv that included all lyrics from all members of Migos. We were then able to compile all of our data into an R script that used sentiment analysis to combine all of our data in a format that could be utilized for our analysis. After compiling all of our data we made various classifier models to visually show which members of Migos played the most prominent roles in writing certain songs on their various albums.
.5 Prediction Percentage
.8 Prediction Percentage
.99 Prediction Percentage
The prediction percentages determine the artists/group members impact to the groups discography. Using machine-learning we predicted that Quavo and Takeoff held the highest percentages meaning through their bodies of work, Offset had the smallest influence. This makes sense due to his early incarceration into their career and his ad-libbing behind the chorus’s of his fellow group members. Offset’s ad-libs are used to accent the punchlines of Migo’ choruses and have no effect on the sentiment analysis and topic modeling of the groups discography.

The above graphic depicts the predicted percentage impact that Takeoff had on each of the 8 most prominent Migos albums.
The above graphic depicts the predicted percentage impact that Quavo had on each of the 8 most prominent Migos albums.
This graphic shows a side by side comparison of the predicted percentage impact of both Quavo and Takeoff. This data tells us that while both Takeoff and Quavo wrote most of the Migos lyrics, Quavo had the greatest influence over most of them.
Our data showed us that Offset had the lowest influence on the Migos lyrics and subsequently didn’t have a predictive class.
In conclusion, after running our data analysis using Classifier Models, we found that Quavo had the most influence over the lyrics in each of the Migos songs. We found that Takeoff had the second most influence, and Offset had the least.
