Hey guys!
I decided to do my project on Kendrick Lamar, one of my favorite Hip-Hop artists. Using the code the Apan put together for us, I was able to mine tweets for “Kendrick AND Lamar.” In this, I found a bunch of tweets mentioning the artist from various users on Twitter. It was awesome seeing all the different perspectives each person had, but most fans ended up with a similar tweet…wanting Kendrick to release his album.
The part that I was coolest, was the fact that Kendrick has fans all over the world and it shows when the map is zoomed out far enough.
I tried to decorate the page a bit, and Jesse helped me with map coloring by directing me to snazzymaps.com. I edited the portrait of Kendrick using GIMP image editer. I even added the link to his latest single if anyone wanted to listen to him(I personally thought he could’ve done better on the song, but hey, I’m no producer lol.)
