Which article are you evaluating?
Rapping

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose rapping because of how much I value it. I listen to music everyday, in the car, while I'm studying, in the shower, I do everything while listening to music. I feel like rap music is important because we can connect with it on an emotional level. Music can bring out different emotions and there are many genres for every mood and emotion. My initial impression was, there is already a lot of information on the page but, there are so many rap artists in the world and the page only covers the well known and the origin of rap music so there are things I can add in.
