Context

This dataset came from a desire for stretching my web scrapping skills as well as to trian a LSTM network to maybe compose some lyrics. I detailed how I obtained the data here: Scraping lyrics from Vagalume.

Content

All the data were obtained by scraping the Brazilian website Vagalume using R.

There are two datasets artists-data.csv and lyrics-data.csv, originally they had data on only 6 musical genres, but on the last uptade i scraped all lyrics from the website.

Acknowledgements

This data is scraped from the Vagalume website, so it depends on their endavour on storing and sharing milions of song lyrics.

Inspiration

The data scraping of this dataset was inspired by the desire to analyze the data on music and train a LSTM to compose lyrics.
