Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Quality Control
 * This article gave me the idea to write a new article about rapper Duke Deuce. He doesn't have his own Wikipedia page, but I'm familiar with his music. He is from Memphis and is a less popular artist. The information about this music label was valid and thorough. It provided the fact that Duke Deuce is signed with Quality Control, a very popular record label for rappers. I don't have anything bad to say about this article. Duke Deuce is especially interesting to me because of his effort to reinstate the crunk music genre.
 * About — Duke Deuce "resurrecting a genre that most thought was dead"- referring to crunk music

Option 2

 * Crunk Genre
 * Crunk - Wikipedia
 * I think there are some things that could be added to this article. There are a lot of good topics within the article that could be expounded on. It is an older genre of music that was slowly replaced by the trap genre. Duke Deuce has a song called "Crunk Ain't Dead", despite the truth that it is less prevalent in today's rap world.
 * There needs to be more specific information as to why crunk differs so much from East Coast or West Coast rap.

Option 3

 * "Bluff City"
 * Memphis is on the high ground by the Mississippi River. This is why the city is nicknamed "the bluff city". There is even a bar near the University of Memphis called "The Bluff". I think there could be more geographical information on the city of Memphis in relation to the river. The wikipedia article about the city of Memphis mentions the bluff very briefly under the "cityscape" section. There seems to be more room for information, however I don't think I will write an entire article on this.

Option 4

 * Memphis rap - Wikipedia
 * This is a stub article with very little information. I'm happy to have found this article. I think there is a lot more information and subgenres that can be added. I would have a hard time starting but there is definitely a lot to contribute. What information is there is solid.

Option 5

 * Memphis soul - Wikipedia
 * Like the Memphis Rap article, this one also needs more information. It needs more citations in order to verify what's already written. I love soul music so I am interested to look into this. There is a lot of room for more material.
