#Project Plan:
For this project, I aim to create a machine learning model that can identify the genre of a song by its lyrics. I want to find out if certain lyrics(words/phrases/arrangement of words) are indicative of the genre of a song. Ex. adlibs more likely to be rap/hiphop?
To collect my data - I will use Genius API's lyricsgenius package and work with the "tags" section to sort by genre. Once my request to use the API is approved, I will start by working with the lyricsgenius package. My aim is to have about 50k songs with lyrics and tags to work with.
Statistical Analysis - As of now I only know how to do Naive Bayes in python. As we learn about more methods, I hope to find a better fit.
