 * The lead section was overall good with a clear introduction, and it includes description of the sections. However, I feel like the introduction of hiphop music should be included in the first paragraph. And it is a bit overly detailed as it includes a long quotation.
 * The content is wonderful since it is relevant to the topic, up-to-date. It also mentions the black culture, as it is one of the topics related to historically underrepresented populations.
 * The tone is neutral and it includes critics of the hip hop academia.
 * The sources and references are reliable and current. The links also work.
 * The writing quality is excellent with professional words.
 * It does not contain any images and media.
 * The talk page includes a review with some positive comments.
 * The overall impression is good though some small improvements needed.
