I don't listen to hiphop, but it was neat to see that the hiphop I could find myself listening to all sat within a 1-2 year span, and if I wanted to give it a shot, grabbing albums from that period might yield some palatable albums and artists. So not only is this a great visual demonstration but a useful tool too... thanks

One question: any way to keep it running when not the front tab?
nope. when things are in an inactive tab...browsers slow down the JS and it crawls to a halt. So I just decided to stop it all together. You could have it in another window in the background though!
1: How did you manage to get the audio clips from all those songs?
