Evaluate the article
The leading paragraph starts the article of strong with a detailed description of hip-hop and its foundation along with its transition into a multidisciplinary field with just the right amount of content. Although the leading paragraph started out strong, in the remaining parts of the article the author failed to address the hip-hop concept itself thus not providing the background necessary for readers to understand the various concepts attached to it. In terms of tone, the author kept it neutral making sure not to project any of their personal biases towards the topic and simply stated facts about the topic. As for feedback i feel this article could be improved by giving a more detailed background of the hip-hop history and its correlation/importance to the socio-economic events that have occurred in American in order to truly capture the purpose of curriculums that revolve around it. This article seems to be incomplete in terms of content.
