Crowdsourced knowledge platforms like Genius can help in this process through user annotated information about the artist and the song but fail to include visualizations to help users finding similarities and structures on a higher and more abstract level. We propose a prototype to detect and visualize the similarity of rap artists based on their lyrics and monolingual alignments of song lyrics. For this, we apply word and sentence embeddings to lyrics we crawled from Genius.}, keywords = {Intertextuality, Text Reuse, Visualization}, doi = {10.31219/osf.io/j4cn8}, url = {https://osf.io/j4cn8/}, author = {Meinecke, Christofer and J{\"a}nicke, Stefan} }
