[edit] Can at least two references be cited for the "Social impact" section?

The whole of the "Derivatives and influence" section is written from a quasi-Soapbox POV. There is no attempt to provide reliable, verifiable references here. Can anyone with a suitable level of expertise on the subject and at least the majority of artists mentioned in this section provide citations for this section?

[edit] New section under types of flows

I think some more sections could be added

a "Seamless" flow involves internal rhyming and picking up the next line by rhyming the end of the last to the start of the next (therefore making the flow "seamless")

Examples include: AZ, King Magnetic, Mr. J. Medeiros, Louis Logic

Also there are "offbeat" rappers (although they come back on beat). an example is Talib Kweli — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neelcm (talkcontribs) 04:05, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Grime

Where it mentions grime it says dizzee rascal pioneered ut, but it was Wiley who made the first grime tracks way before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.17.146 (talk) 19:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request on 6 December 2011

Please change "(and some whites)" to "and some whites" because the parentheses are unnecessary and denegrates the contribution of those rappers of another race.

YesY Done partially. Changed to "and later by some whites" since the context is discussing the very start of blues and there is no proof that whites were involved in the music in the 1850s but could have been by the 1900s. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:26, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
