Brooklyn-based Pop Chart Lab is a collaboration between a book editor and a graphic designer whose goal is “to render all of human experience in chart form.” No big, right? Shown here, The Magnificent Map of Rap Names features 636 rap names screenprinted with gold ink on 39″x27″ black paper. It’s not a map in the cartographic sense, but it’s close enough for me.
A couple of other examples of the studio’s cartographic oeuvre — Migratory Patterns of Fresh Princes:

the chart of rap names is fabulous…i have a class on pop culture where that could come in really, really handy😉
That’s great, Tom. You should check out their other maps and charts — there’s lots of fun stuff.
Amazing. I wish my back was 39″ x 27″ so I could get this tattooed on it.
LOL! I really like the Migratory Patterns of Fresh Princes map, and I’m pretty sure that would fit onto your back!
Monsters? Wrestlers? Gotham’s Villains?
geeze – you didn’t mention they had practical stuff, too.
Yup, lots of useful stuff!
This is absolutely incredible. Love it. I really like the subtle humor in something I would be proud to display on my wall. P.S. I will be laughing all day about the migratory patterns of Fresh Prince’s. GENIUS!!
Hahaha!
