This was on prod, but it seems to me to be controversial. User:Urthogie's prod said: "An alternative hip hop musician cannot be defined. Who is alternative? Mainstream rappers often have a live band. Mainstream rappers have talked about politics and personal issues. It's impossible to define alternative." But we have an article on alternative hip hop and a Category:Hip hop musicians. And the article has a decently long history with various contributors and some incoming links. No vote from me as yet. NickelShoe (Talk) 20:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- The article on Alternative hip hop is completely inaccurate in its current state(hence the {{totallydisputed}}). An accurate article would admit that it can't be defined. I defy anyone to give a concrete rule so as to tell if someone is an alternative hip hop musician--Urthogie 22:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Strong delete If you can't define it, then you can't list it. ⇒ SWATJester
