Talk:German hip hop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 This article is part of WikiProject World Music, an attempt at building a useful musical resource on the music of all the peoples and places of the world. We are reaching towards some exciting and ambitious goals.
This article is part of WikiProject Hip hop, an ongoing effort to improve articles related to hip hop culture and hip hop music. The goal of the project is to bring this article, along with all others to featured status. If you have any questions, concerns or wish to participate you can visit the main project page here.

A couple of points about this page:

  • It's awful - it should be a history, not a list. This is much more important than adding your favorite rappers to the list. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan page.
  • People can't just go around deleting groups they dislike (as was just done with Kool Savas) - as this page is unfortunately currenctly nothing but a list, I'd like to remind of the rules currently agreed on in the list of rappers
"Anybody that meets the following criteria is definitely eligible:
   Has released a recording on a major label
   Has worked with a performer already on the list
   Has recorded for a minor/indie label if that label is reasonably well-established or prominent
   Has had any kind of hit, even a relatively minor or regional one
   Has gone on tours that cover a large region or an entire country"

These rules by Tuf-Kat sound reasonable and should be adhered to. Furthermore:

  • This list should be in alphabetical order
  • only groups that fit the gerne should be included (Seeed is a reggae/dancehall group)
  • A brief description of newly added artists would be nice - and why not write about the artist while you're at it...

  • Fettes Brot is not underground anymore. They appear on MTV and VIVA (mainstream music television) and sell a lot of records. For example: They won the "Comet" for best act and best song ("Emanuela“) in 2005. The "Comet" is VIVA's maintream award.


[edit] Major Overhaul Announcement

As Pteron points out above, the current version of this article is awful. I am in the process of translating the German article into English. I will update this talk page accordingly when I'm done. Acone 06:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
