Lead


The introduction does a great job of explaining the topic but also explain the fields that it is involved in. The information given was not too much or too little. It highlights the major sections of the article but not completely. The Lead give more insight on the topic rather than the rest of the article. The lead stays on topic but is overly detailed to where I may not want to read this over and over.

Content


The article keeps the content relevant and does not stray from the main point. Looking through the article and its history I saw that it is up to date. There does not seem to be anything missing from this article. If anything it is the right amount in the content section..

Tone and Balance


This article is very neutral, it states the information in a non biased manor. Only to inform the reader of the topic at hand. No one point was over used or over stated. Once the point was made and explained in a few sentences it moved on to the next. This article after reading wants you to learn more about Hip-Hop in academia.

The conversations are positive and informative for those who have taken part in submitting info on this page for others to read. There is feedback and suggestions given also. This is a Start-class rated article and is a WikiProject. Wikipedia discusses the topic in order to inform others on the topic of Hip-Hop as a whole.

Overall impressions


The articles status is non-active. There are little corrections for grammar every so often but no information has been added in some time. The strength of this article is definitely its introduction. The article can be improved by adding images of symbolic meanings for Hip-Hop. It is well-developed but has room for improvement.
