[edit] Inquiry

  • What ever happend to the swedish female-rapper TJ...?! She had one hit around 99-00 if I remember right?! She's half-eritrean/half-ethiopian but live in Sweden. Stockholm I think..!?!

Anyone, can you fill me in?!

/dis-n-dat@hotmail.com

I suggest you check out relevant Internet forums. Maybe someone at the (English language) Swedish site Whoa can help out.
Good Luck! Tsaddik Dervish 12:47, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Photos please

If anyone could help with pictures for this article it would be much appreciated. (Wiki standard, appropriate, high-resolution images with the copyright issues kept in mind) Thanks, Tsaddik Dervish 12:47, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Thank you Fred chessplayer for the picture! The more images the merrier I think.. :-) --Tsaddik Dervish 14:35, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Your welcome. Being from Malmö , I chose a local rapper... :-) --Fred-Chess 14:50, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
It was a good choice. I guess the ultimate photo, in my mind, would be of a bunch of Swedish rappers (of different ethnicities) with graffiti paintings in the background and a breakdancer and a DJ somewhere. I also guess that such a photo would be hard to find. :-) --Tsaddik Dervish 15:22, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Third wave/breakthrough

So... this goes through the first and second breakthroughs, then skips straight to the fourth wave. What's the third phase of Swedish hip hop? Tuf-Kat 23:56, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

The second breakthrough is the third phase.
  1. The beginning (roughly 1982-1991)
  2. The first breakthrough (i.e. into the mainstream) (roughly 1991-1998)
  3. The second breakthrough (i.e. into the mainstream) (roughly 1998-2002)
  4. The fourth wave (roughly 2002-)

[edit] Moved Artist List

I moved the list of Well-known artists to List of Swedish Hip Hop artists; it was getting a little long. CredoFromStart talk 19:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

"Hip Hop" (in the title) should not be capitalized. Someone please move the article to "List of Swedish hip hop artists", or perhaps "List of Swedish hip hop musicians". When moved, redirects need to be corrected. Thanks. --3rdDeeQue 23:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
The list is at List of Swedish hip hop musicians now. --3rdDeeQue 22:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
The list is back in this article now (see this revision by Spellcast). --3rdDeeQue (talk) 15:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
The list is in both articles now. List of Swedish hip hop musicians has a new lease on life (see this revision by Bearcat). If it is decided that the list of well-known artists should be in a separate article, then a complete list in this article isn't needed. If it is decided that List of Swedish hip hop musicians should be deleted or redirected, then please make sure that the info is merged into this article. --3rdDeeQue (talk) 12:22, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I redirected List of Swedish hip hop musicians to Category:Swedish hip hop musicians as I don't believe a separate article is needed really. --3rdDeeQue (talk) 21:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Better to have the list at List of Swedish hip hop musicians so it corresponds with the Swedish version. --Shadedareas (talk) 05:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Well known artists

Cosprings redirected List of Swedish hip hop musicians to Category:Swedish hip hop musicians [1]. I'm copying the page (revision as of 21:10, 7 November 2007) here so it doesn't get lost. If concensus is that a seperate page isn't needed then the information should be put back into this article. --3rdDeeQue 23:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Done. --3rdDeeQue (talk) 15:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Graffiti

An article about Graffiti in Sweden would be nice. --3rdDeeQue 23:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red links..

...are just fine, don't remove artists/groups from the lists on account of them not being blue enough. --3rdDeeQue (talk) 15:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
