The Bengals selection of Joe Mixon was a big addition, but there’s still uncertainty in regards to when Giovanni Bernard will return from his ACL injury. |
On top of that, Jeremy Hill’s production has dropped off since his rookie season. |
Therefore, there is a legitimate opportunity for Williams sneak his way into a roster spot. |
If Williams can prove to be durable, he has the ability to be a productive change of pace back for the Bengals. |

Steam Notes: Hi fellow Steamers!! |
Cheaters Blackjack is a program I created because I LOVE Blackjack. |
Its a reboot of a PC/Pocket PC app I created years ago. |
I made the game to play on multiple platforms (so I could enjoy it everywhere!!). |
All versions compete using the same scoreboards since no platform has an advantage. |
It can be played on PC (MAC, Linux coming soon), Mobile, Tablets and TV against the top scores of people on the other platforms. |
I tried to create a GUI that works equally well on all devices and think that CB21 has basically achieved the goal. |

F ancy cars have always been an important element in rap music. |
You can find many articles online talking about what cars rappers love the most, but they all lack the research, running their mouth with no backing evidence. |
Is rappers’ preferred ride Cadillac, Mercedes, Bentley, or Ferrari? |
Let’s turn to data science to settle this debate once and for all. |
By analyzing all lyrics on Rap Genius , we’ll see which rides have been celebrated the most. |
Check the results...
Digging deeper to look at songs released throughout the years, the following is a time series analysis to see which makes have gained popularity and which have lost favor. |
An interesting correlation here is a dip for some of the most frequently mentioned luxury car makes around 2008, 2009 financial crisis. |
Shout out to Johnny McNulty at Someecards who have some interesting analysis around the trend’s correlation with economy here . |
As seen from the chart, the most frequently mentioned car make is Mercedes Benz. |
Rappers love to rap about their benzes, but they rarely mention what models. |
If we get down to the specific model that’s most frequently mentioned, there’s no debate — it’s the Chevy Impala, most specifically the ’64 year model. |
The chart above is an overall view. |
We’ll break it into several categories in the following:
Top 3 Makes
There were more mentions of Cadillac relative to Chevrolet between 1997 to 2006, but the trend inverted since 2007. |
Benz managed to stay on top most of the time, except between 2004 and 2007 where it was briefly surpassed by Cadillac. |
Makes Gaining Popularity Over Time
The following are makes that have been on an upward trend over the years. |
Worth noting that Porsche, Ferrari, Maybach, and Bugatti peaked around 2012/2013 but have declined since. |
Makes Losing Popularity Over Time
The following are makes that have declined or maintain the same level of mentions in rap songs over time. |
Due to the increase in rap songs released over the years, these are makes that are losing popularity amongst the artists. |
Jeep and Hummer serve similar functions and have very similar levels of mentions across time. |
Lexus was extremely popular around 1998, but has since lost steam. |
Endorsements
Some major car companies benefit from rappers as endorsers, a task the rappers often take on voluntarily. |
But who is doing the best job as pitchman? |
Seeing song mentions as a form of endorsement, the following is an analysis of the top endorsers. |
Turns out The Game dominates the car endorsement game. |
The Compton artist wins the category hands down for seven of the major car makes, having logged more automobile mentions than any other rapper. |
The following are The Game’s most-endorsed cars, in order of frequency:
Chevrolet Impala
Chevrolet Impala
Chevy mentioned in 93 of The Game’s songs, 82 of them mention Impala. |
His love for Impala is expressed in his song “In My 64.” |
Refined mansion tax proposal being fed into debate on abolishing 50p tax rate for those earning more than £150,000
The Liberal Democrats are pushing for the eventual disbanding of the 50p rate of tax to see the implementation of a new land tax levied on properties above £1m. |
In a refinement of their controversial mansion tax policy launched at their party conference two years ago, the Lib Dems now believe there is an argument for levying capital gains tax on any money made from the sale of a property after the first £1m. |
The Lib Dem idea is being fed into the debate surrounding how to bring down the 50p rate for those earning more than £150,000. |
A review into the rate is expected to confirm suspicions it does not bring in much revenue but serves to deter international business from locating in the UK at a time when the chancellor is seeking to encourage inward investment and spur growth. |
Over the weekend, George Osborne gave his clearest sign that the top rate would come down. |
Speaking on BBC Radio 4, Osborne said there was "not much point" in having a tax that raised scant funds but that served to drive businesses out of Britain. |
Osborne said: "I've said with the 50p rate I don't see that as a lasting tax rate for Britain because it's very uncompetitive internationally, and people frankly can move. |
What is it actually raising? |
It's only been in operation for a year, this tax, put in place by the last government." |
Danny Alexander, the Lib Dem Treasury chief secretary, has said supporters of abolishing the 50p rate are living in "cloud cuckoo land". |
Vince Cable, the Lib Dem business secretary, has said if it goes it must be replaced by another imposition on the wealthy – possibly a mansion tax which would hit owners of the highest-value properties. |
