List of political hip hop artists

wp:or - This list is a subjective opinion regarding what constitues 'political rap', and such a cetegorisation is not verifiable from reliable sources Chzz ► 06:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is in absolutely terrible shape, but sources such as [1][2][3], in addition to the Bogdanov book, all verify that this is a genre people have recognized for real, not just something a WP editor is synthesizing; they also identify and label specific groups as "political", so could be used as a starting point for populating the list (with a list like this you just need to make a ground rule that nothing can be added unless you can cite a source calling it "political hip hop"; that's a way to deter people from making additions based on personal opinions). See the main Political hip hop article, from when this was spun out, for more sources. This article needs a ridiculous amount of cleanup, but that's not a reason to delete it. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 06:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agreed. Article needs major cleanup and suffers from some arbitrary list additions. But the Political hip hop article is clear, reliable, and sourced enough to serve as a guideline for the list.--Junius49 (talk) 22:00, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Hip_Hop any relevant details not already covered. I'm not certain that the citations warrant titling a whole new subgenre of artists nor does WP need to be a random collection of lists. Ngaskill (talk) 06:12, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
