Talk:Hip hop

Criticism

I plan on expanding upon the criticism section in this article. -- Jose83

I'm no expert, but I don't think hip hop and rap are synonymous. HelpJazz 15:18, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Hip hop culture is an umbrella underwhich rap falls along with graffiting, baggy clothes, etc. Luke 15:22, 3 January 2008 (EST)

All I know is I have some excellent hip-hop cds (remixes of old jazz standards!) and I haven't found any pure rap I can really stand. Guess that's not a very good source for an encyclopedia though. HelpJazz 15:30, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Why are my edits being reverted? I thought this place was about not censoring the facts. -- Jose83

I would expect to see these kind of edits on the Landover Baptist website, not CP... 10px Fox (talk|contribs) 17:34, 3 January 2008 (EST)

I didn't see facts, but unattributed opinion. Check out my favorite rule. HelpJazz 17:36, 3 January 2008 (EST)

I can attribute each statement as well as provide references. To say that some rap promotes violence is NOT an opinion. It is FACT. To say that rap promotes the breaking of these commandments is NOT opinion. It is FACT. Anyone who has listened to Gangsta rap before knows this (I used to, but I'm a changed man). I am livid at the moment and am in no condition to continue writing until later. I'll discuss this at that time. -- Jose83
