[edit] List of gangsta rappers

Complete redundancy with List of hip hop musicians; no need for a seperate list unless we make seperate lists for all other genre's subgenres (which would lead to madness). Also hard to categorize subjectively (Da Brat is a gangsta rapper?) FuriousFreddy 19:19, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: I disagree strongly on the redundancy, but agree that this list is highly subjective and difficult to discuss - Nas, for one, is someone I would label not "gangsta," but it's debatable. The same is true for Ol' Dirty Bastard, etc. jglc | t | c 19:26, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • You disagree with the redundancy? Everyone on List of gangsta rappers should be on List of hip hop musicians as well, making the first page redundant. --FuriousFreddy 19:36, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

  The redundancy can be fixed by having List of hip hop musicians link to List of gangsta rappers. Gazpacho

  • You didn't understand the point. Every artist on List of gangsta rappers should be on List of hip hop musicians, if they are not already there. --FuriousFreddy 20:08, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep please there is a really big difference between rap and hip hop music especially gangster type rap Yuckfoo 23:38, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • There is no difference between rap and hip-hop music. --FuriousFreddy 01:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and link from List of hip hop musicians. Lists don't have to be orthogonal. Gazpacho 02:00, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, if I'm looking specifically for Gangsta Rappers I don't want to wade through the whole list of hip hop musicians. Kappa 02:53, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. For example, Will Smith is a notable hip hop musician but not a gangsta rapper. Capitalistroadster 03:20, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
