Area Codes in Which Ludacris Claims to Have Hoes

Mar 10, 2008

Area Codes by Ludacris I thought this map was amusing. As you can see, Mr. Bridges prefers those in the southeast and northeast according to his 2001 hit single, Area Codes in which he raps about all the female friends he has made.

This is yet another example of the ubiquity of data. If you can find hoe data in Ludacris’ Area Codes, you can find data anywhere. Here’s the large version of the above map. By the way, I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone with this hoe data. Hoe data.

Could you overlay this with some data on drive-by shootings, crack use, births out of wedlock, or STDs? Might as well do the whole gansta rap.

Nice. I was going to recommend this to Strange Maps, but someone beat me to it.

I’ve been listening to Ludacris since he was merely Rediculis.

@mikeanderson Ludacris isn’t a “gangster” rapper. There are a multitude of differences within Hip-Hop that you white folks refuse to acknowledge.

Somehow, my mind wanders to the great Wilt Chamberlain. Now, his girlfriend map would be much more difficult.

Mel – or it might be easier. just make a map that’s all red, and that should do it.

Data, R, and a 3-D Printer

We almost always look at data through a screen. It’s quick and good for exploration. So is there value in making data physical? I played around with a 3-D printer to find out.

Who We Spend Time with as We Get Older

In high school, we spend most of our days with friends and immediate family. But then we get jobs, start a family, retire, and there’s a shift in who we spend our days with.
