Talk:African hip hop

thread_title:  Spam links 

message: This article has multiple issues, and needs some experienced WKP editors with some knowledge of the subject. I might put out a call at the Village Pump or somewhere. The opening sentence is misleading - it was not widespread American influence that kick-started local hip-hop artistes, it was the widespread influence of African American music and culture, rather a different thing. The second sentence is badly phrased - In 1985 hip hop reached Senegal is meaningless, hip-hop is not a man with a suitcase. Hip-hop had been heard in Senegal before 1985, perhaps the writer meant that the first local hip-hop artists were heard of in 1985.
It would be helpful to know how often the Guinean Africa Rap Festival is held.
I'm going to remove some of the more pointless and spammish comments that have been added, and correct some of the mixed up statements and poor grammar. I have removed the following inaccurate statement:
In general, most of Nigerian music is considered to be hip hop music with a fusion of other native genres like fuji, afrobeat, and hi-life.
This article also needs updating as the African hip-hop scene has been evolving quite quickly. Finally, the article deals only with African hip-hop music, and not with any of the other aspects of hip-hop culture in Africa. Two mics.

thread_title:  African Hip Hop, The Future?! 

message: Some links were recently removed for being dead. Some for being for promotional.
There are duplicates for example "africas gateway" under general links and some other external links point to resources that last saw updates up to 4 years ago.
Surely more relevant links would be welcome.
Perhaps someone is willing to have a look at this in depth.
