Talk:New-school hip hop

old comments
This isnt a genre of music, and doesn't deserve an encyclopedic entry. Theres old school, golden age, and modern era. This is just a quick term people use on the street to say its not old school, or its not old school or golden age.--Urthogie 16:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * In truth "golden age" isn't much more than that, either. 86.44.6.14 (talk) 21:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

This article is horribly written... and clean up all the "your mom" stuff please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.144.171.89 (talk) 12:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Wrongly titled
There is an actual "new school" in hip hop dating back to 1983, so this article is misinforming people. I intend to re-write it completely. 86.44.6.14 (talk) 19:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Done. Old article is here. It should really be called Popular hip hop 1999–2007 or some such. 86.44.6.14 (talk) 18:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

recent edits
The new school hip hop article properly shows that Dr. Dre cannot strictly be considered old school hip hop, and already makes the point that "new school" has become synonymous with "contemporary" for many fans. Therefore the section that has been added headed Modern New-School Artists is superfluous and confusing. If editors want to talk about contemporary hip hop, there is an old version of this article linked in the section Wrongly Titled, which they can make into a new article if they should so wish. We can then link to it from here. Good? Not good? 86.44.23.66 (talk) 19:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC).
 * These editors delete every addition I make to any article. I don't know what problem they have with me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MC Prank (talk • contribs) 04:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that :( It's just that this article is about a specific continuity of popular new york hip hop that in effect dies out in the mid-nineties as independent NY labels stop dealing in hip hop, gangsta rap leads to g-funk and NY responds with hardcore etc. etc. It's not really about current hip hop. Hip hop from the late nineties to today probably deserves its own article. 86.44.26.69 (talk) 19:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Good article?
I noticed this article was once a good article nominee but was withdrawn. I briefly read the article I would highly encourage renominating it. I'll nominate it if necessary but I'd prefer to have the main author's (86.44.XX.XX) permission. Thoughts? ~ Eóin (talk) 19:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'd greatly appreciate and respond to any form of peer review. 86.44.27.243 (talk) 00:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

non-free image use
A few editors now have individually looked at the image use on this article as of this date's version (i.e. ), usually as a result of image use elsewhere. Since no discussion made it to this talk page, i thought a note might be useful. User:Bkell, User:Howcheng , User:Ricky81682 and User:CBM  have all stumbled upon this page while working in the area of non-free image use, and all have let the image use stand to date. My reading of this is that a minimum of reading is required if one wants to understand this image use: the first two paragraphs of the lead, and the image rationales. If concerns remain, here is now the place to bring 'em. :) 86.44.24.200 (talk) 04:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Run DMC logo
See Talk:New_school_hip_hop. So far all i've been able to find on this is a self-published blog and a news story that says "probably". In a consumerist age, this is an important, simple-to-ascertain fact. Why is coverage of rap so sucky? *weeps* 86.44.22.206 (talk) 05:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

New School
New School is the MODERN era!1983 is definitely NOT new school.2000-now is new school.166.82.187.246 (talk) 01:51, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
