message: in my humble opinion, the word "instrumental" should be substituted with something else. I just think it looks a bit funny when it is used in an article about music. Gwissi 22:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: A list of well known East Coast rappers should be added. (same with the west coast) --Plankton5005 06:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  List 

message: There needs to be more of a general understanding of where one began and the other ended. It was to my knowledge that the Golden Age began in 1988. Most people say this. And this article could easily be disputed for the simple fact that it does not cite its references; thus, it's authenticity can be challenged. If no one debates this within two days then I will take it upon myself to change it.--Mphifer254 15:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that a section covering the 2000's would also help. Big L, Cam'ron, Masta Ace... the tradition continued.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cashtastrophy (talk • contribs) 08:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why was this article trimmed down? 

message: This article mainly emphasizes Nas as a part of the East coast revival. What about the Wu-Tang Clan? The Notorious B.I.G? Mobb Deep? The list goes on..  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.222.131.37 (talk) 04:49, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: So put "Citation needed."  You don't have to delete good information.  It doesn't take a genius to realize Nas wasn't the only rapper significant in the revitalization of East Coast.--Kickflipthecat (talk) 01:14, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

text: It's cited with a reliable source. I suppose the sources/writers did not consider Enter the Wu-Tang a commercial success; it was a relatively low commercial success upon its release, by the standards of subsequent Wu-Tang albums (Wu-Tang_Clan_discography) and the group members' first round of solo albums. Dan56 (talk) 22:03, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

text: Number 41 on the Pop charts (Enter_the_Wu-Tang_(36_Chambers)#Chart_history); R&B top-10 albums are not commercial breakthroughs. Better source than no source. Dan56 (talk) 00:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other Artists 

message: Although NYC was the epicenter of the movement their are quite a few historically significant artists that should be represented in this article. Schoolly D is one of the founders of gangster rap and gets no mention. Likewise Gang Starr definitely deserves a mention as well. Philly, Boston, and to a lesser extent Baltimore have had their fair share of important artists to east coast hip hop yet those scenes are entirely ignored here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.108.197.82 (talk) 01:38, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Waz Up To All My Real East Coast Hip Hop Headz. It's Me Nu Yawk NY. 

message: Hello, I am a very novice editor on here, and I came across this article by almost pure chance. That said, there is a lot of unsourced, biased, information and original research. I was going to remove some of it, but I found that doing so would leave just a list of East Coast hip hop artists, which I am sure is not the purpose of this article. I hope someone with more knowledge on the subject will be able to rewrite it, as I'm not going to touch something I admittedly know very little about, nor will I be the one to make this a bare list of artists.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gog-Clocthoth (talk • contribs) 07:50, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Putting Virginia as part of the East Coast rap scene is very controversial. We are not part of the Northeast. I’m from Virginia and I know a lot of history about the music in my state. Yes, we may have a different sound however, we classify ourselves as the “Top of the South”. In none of our music do we talk about anything about the East Coast. 
Examples:
Timbaland & Magoo: Baby Bubba
Timbaland & Magoo: Shenanigans
Missy Elliott: Pump It Up
These are just to name a few. None of these songs mention anything anything about the East Coast. 2600:1700:424D:3000:7CCA:D247:66F6:DA21 (talk) 08:29, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Sources are divided; Virginia has its own sound. Virginia does not have the same Southern hip hop sound as Atlanta, etc. For instance, one of Virginia's most famous rap songs, "Grindin'", is not like anything else. NPR says "In no state is the debate around "Southerness" more prevalent than it is within Virginia. It's an impossible argument to win on either side of the aisle because "Southerness" isn't painted with a definitive, clear cut brush. And, to be honest, Virginia rap, in particular rap from Richmond and below, doesn't replicate the same texture, drawls or even outright geographical alignment as other Southern rap metropolises like Atlanta, Memphis, New Orleans, Houston or Miami." The question doesn't have a strong answer either way. Binksternet (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Virginia 

message: It was has been widely regarded by many sources such as NPR, the History Channel, PBS, Rolling Stone, Complex Magazine, etc that August 11, 1973 is the birthdate of hip hop. On that day, DJ Kool Herc was breaking with the turntables and rapper Coke La Rock was rapping over the instrumental giving shout outs. For regular articles of genre cultural origins, a general timeframe of when a genre started for example such as early 1990s, late 1980s is given when there is no exact date mentioned of when a genre started and there isn't a consensus on it. But in this case, there is a consensus that August 11, 1973 is the birthdate of hip hop and it should be changed to that date. There are many sources such as articles and videos that talk about August 11, 1973 being the birthdate.
