No offence to the good-faith contributors who have made it, but this article is in need of some serious help. I can maybe help with making some of the language more encyclopedic, but among other concerns, redlinks should only be used if three is a serious possibility of an article being written. I'll be back with more ideas when I can, but in the meantime if anybody felt like tidying it up I would be very grateful. --Guinnog13:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like every time the origins of HipHop are talked about they classify it as originally an African-American thing when early HipHop, as now, isn't so easily broken down along racial/ethnic lines. There were definitely white kids involved since the beginning although maybe not enough to note...however if there is another ethnic group that should be noted it would be Puerto Ricans as there were probably just as many Puerto Ricans involved in early HipHop as were African-Americans.—Precedingunsigned comment added by71.20.196.231 (talk)19:02, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is precisely one act (Marxman) mentioned on this page notable enough to have its own article so far. Suggest a serious amount of work, or failing that, deletion as non-notable?BastunBaStun not BaTsun22:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One goes to 'Page not found', the other is a dead end and link to Paypal. Suggest this article is given up for dead and deleted.Emeraude13:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why has the reference to Dj Bosco and Rhymes Vital been deleted?—Precedingunsigned comment added bySertone (talk •contribs) 12:58, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
Because its not encyclopedic. Please see the following policies:WP:CRYSTAL andWP:MUSIC. The information you have added to the article satisfies neither. Following the actual release of an album, the information could be included if it satisfiesWP:MUSIC - not until then. I am going to remove it again - please do not readd it.

This is Wikipedia - the encyclopedia anyone can edit. That doesnot mean you can add anything you want! If you are adding anything to this article, pleasefirst readWikipedia's 5 Pillars,what WP is not, andnotability guidelines, especiallyWP:MUSIC. Material that does not satisfy these criteria is liable to be deleted at any time.BastunBaStun not BaTsun14:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
User:Canonxl2 - please read the above paragraph, including the linked policies and guidelines, before adding back material on Kool Kracker Krew. Youtube videos, a "closed broadcast" and aforthcoming album do not meet inclusion criteria.BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!16:07, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
@Padenton andCoffee: I have restored this article challenging the PROD. It is obviously a notable topic e.g.[1][2] both published in the last 6 months. Yes the article is a mess, but that means it should be cleaned up not deleted.SmartSE (talk)15:43, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Kind of strange that this article doesn’t mention Rejjie Snow, maybe the most successful Irish rapper ever.Bzweebl (talk •contribs)19:32, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Graffiti is mentioned as hip-hip culture of which came to Ireland in the 80s. Is this entirely true? Graffiti is both older than hiphop and surely existed in Ireland before the 1980s.Tíocfaidh ár lá, Éire. (talk)01:38, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
its a 2 sentence article, not really enough IMO.Cube76 (talk)00:49, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
