I believe the Beastie Boys are labeled more as a rap rock group than hip hop group. I was by no means trying to vandalise. Powlowalker545 (talk) 16:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I by no means was accusing you of vandalism, just of making an edit that did not conform to the WP:MOS for music related articles whereby there are 2 listed genre's in the opening sentence of the lead. For what you are proposing a thread on the talk page of the article might be more appropriate though I suspect this has come up before and the consensus was more hip hop than rap rock.

Ah ok, I just always assumed they were considered both hip hop and rap rock and were both seen as pioneers in these styles. However I understand now I didn't place a citation or place one on the talk page. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Powlowalker545 (talk) 17:31, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Reliable sources would help determining which of the 2 they are more famous for but the consensus among other editors is that we open the sentence with one genre describing the artist and when you look at the 2 genre's, hip hop is more prevalent than rock; it's in both genre's. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, shout if I can be of assistance and happy editing!  Rob van  vee  17:39, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
