List of golden age hip hop artists
This page was PROD'd with the justification, "While an article can address the bluriness I'm not sure that a straight up list can do that." This list was a fork of Golden age hip hop, so I thought the deletion decision needed some consideration. No preference from me, thanks. &mdash; RJH (talk) 18:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - Agreed with the prod'd statement as to the fuzziness of the situation. It seems like pretty much any hip hop artist who was active from '85-'90 could be on this list.  Since there isn't strict criteria attached to "golden age hip hop" and it is such a BROAD group of artists, it doesn't seem like it serves much of a purpose.  Wickethewok 20:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Won't be able to address the bluriness (I'm the one who prod'd). --Urthogie 15:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, for the above reasons of subjectivity, but then again, I'd argue for the inherent revisionist NPOVness of golden age hip-hop itself. “…ended with the popularity of G-funk.” &lt;rolleyes&gt; “Hip-hop was all about consciousness and positivity, man, and then all these gangsters came along and ruined it! Waaaaaah!” Wiki Wikardo 16:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I see what you're saying, and agree with you that it's kind of dumb to go and hate all the gangsta rappers. I think what pisses people off is that the popular market isn't so mixed anymore; it used to be that positive and gangsta acts were popular.--Urthogie 08:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
