In the tight race for the Democratic nomination, every word counts. Hoping to see who has the upper hand in the hip-hop world, Complex compiled all the mentions of Hillary and Obama to show up in rap songs over the past couple of years.

Since the established political polls can't figure out which Democratic candidate will get the party nod we turned to the next best source for political forecasting: rap lyrics.

Political awareness in music is at an all-time high. Russell Simmons and DJ Green Lantern are even in the midst of recruiting high-profile artists for the official mixtape of the Obama campaign. We figured predicting the future of the Democratic party based on all the lyrical endorsements and disses is at least as air-tight as the delegate system.
