Addition to diction and dialect

As part of a school paper, my partner and I will be adding an additional section to the "Diction and Dialect" section by discussing how rap music has taken subcultural aspects and words and integrated them into popular culture.Hayleyhills (talk) 19:18, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Pseudohistory tripe

“Griot traditions connect to rap along a lineage of Black verbal reverence that goes back to ancient Egyptian practices”. This ridiculous, unreferenced Pseudohistory claim from some falsifying black eghnocentralist trying to peddle ‘Ancient Egyptian were negroes’ nonsense, needs to be removed — unless of course they have a DVD recording from the Nile before Christ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.136.107.234 (talk) 18:18, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Non-wiki style writing

This entire section sounds really weird compared to the informative style usually seen. I don't feel comfortable trying to suggest a way to rephrase it, but hopefully by drawing attention to it, a more experienced editor can do so:

The style that Hollywood created and his partner introduced to the Hip Hop set quickly became the standard. What actually did Hollywood do? He created "flow." Before then all MCs rhymed based on radio DJs. This usually consisted of short patters that were disconnect thematically; they were separate unto themselves. But by Hollywood using song lyrics, he had an inherent flow and theme to his rhyme. This was the game changer. By the end of the 1970s, artists such as Kurtis Blow and The Sugarhill Gang were just starting to receive radio airplay and make an impact far outside of New York City, on a national scale.
