Hey, welcome to Wikipedia first off. Secondly, in regard to rapping, you need to source claims.. I've reverted them in the mean time: 1)"his has been popularized by The Jump Off (www.jumpoff.tv) in London and New York, where world class rappers battle for supremacy in a vicious and televised brawl." What proof do you have that jumpoff tv was what popularized this, as opposed to say some other battling website. we can't advertise a specific site over another here, since its supposed to be a neutral point of view. 2)"Although hiphop is often viewed negatively in the mainstream media, it has the potential to bring hope and opportunity to youth who would otherwise have none. It has made alot of poor people very rich, and has give the successful ones the opportunity to speak to the poor. " We can keep this if you get a quote of a famous rapper saying this. We can't broadcast your opinion, even though I agree with ya, but the encyclopedia needs to rely on secondary sources. So find a source that has that point of view and add it to the section.

Thanks, if you have any questions just ask on my user talk page.--Urthogie 20:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
