This 150 project was reignited on July 2022, where we had a sudden urge to get back to calculations and research. Needless to say, I was shocked about how far we got and how deep our research went. Calculations were reflected on and measured to the absolute millisecond, rappers with mere hundreds of views were discovered just by the pure dedication to our research, and we've ended up with a database of 450 rappers with calculations that are all 12+ SPS.

I want everyone to keep in mind something, however. SPS is an infinite community, and there are absolutely unlimited amounts of rappers out there that have went incredibly fast but have yet to be discovered. We poured as much time as we could into this video, and we believe we have found a suitable amount of artists for the release of this video.
You must also keep in mind that SPS is a game where the slightest milliseconds make significant impact, thusly the results presented in this video could be moderately changed to create a minor increase. At the end of the day, these calculations are relative and to be taken with a grain of salt. But still, we're very satisfied with how this turned out. And regardless of whether the speeds could be narrowly increased, we're still happy to have a collection of skilled artists from all across the world on this list.
That being said, these results are accurate in the sense that I don't believe it possible for a speed to be slower than what is presented. For the first time, I went through the effort to create a document with Google Drive wav burst links, accompanied by the syllables spoken in the burst (whether official lyrics or just gibberish to gauge the syllable count). This project took hundreds and hundreds of hours in total, and we rechecked every single artist on three separate occasions just to be safe. I would be disappointed if there was an error with our calculations that equate to it being less than what is presented, but I personally think the likelihood is low.

I will have three documents linked below. These documents should give heavy insight behind the calculations, the placements, the exclusions, the differences, as well as providing all of the due credit to the original artists.

RULES:
-For someone to be on the list, they first and foremost have to be a “proper” rapper. While there aren’t set criteria and boundaries for one to be considered as such, the basic requirements are of reasonable levels of acknowledgement by others, effort and experience, as well as quality.
-For this list, we decided to make no exceptions for any acapellas or verses that cannot be classified as original compositions. To provide examples, we had previously permitted artists such as: Outsider, Rebel XD, and El Chojin to appear on the list despite their verses being record attempts. El Chojin's attempt may have been on a beat, but the overall quality is not great and we cannot classify it as a song.
-Evidence of artificially edited performances in order to appear legitimately faster, through speeding up or by presenting punched in bars as unique takes, is not allowed and directly disqualifies the rapper if it’s noticed or heavily suspected on what would be their fastest song, despite any legitimate entry they might have besides that. Ultimately, if an artist's fastest song is sped up, we will not permit them to reappear on the list regardless if they have other songs that are legitimate.

NOTE #1 | The stopwatch in the video is not an exact accurate representation of the length of the burst, it is just there for presentation purposes to help people understand where the highlight burst begins.

NOTE #2 | You might notice sometimes there is a "Tb" on the screen. This represents tiebreaker, it's a new feature I decided to experiment with.
It means that more than one artist has said the exact same amount of syllables in the exact same amount of time. Whenever this occurs, the rappers are ordered on a decision by us on who holds the speed the longest (or who just generally raps faster throughout the audio). Remember, these are technically ties, but for presentation purposes - we've decided to do things like this.
