Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT ( talk) 13:32, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Could we add pictures of the artists being discussed? Without that, it feels quite bland. JTWikiEdu ( talk) 15:05, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
Perhaps we should find out what the Talk page is for before copying the entire article into it? -- John Owens 00:51 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
I removed some of the sample styles for inaccuracy. Zouglou, taarab and zouk are not styles of hip hop. Tuf-Kat 15:30, Apr 3, 2004 (UTC)
Isn't it funny that hip hop did not originate in Africa? Rather, it originated in the United States and then spread to Africa. Since hip hop supposedly originated as a form of Black music, one would logically think that it would be the other way around.
Are we concerned about some of these bands just being spam and promotional links? -- Knulclunk ( talk) 05:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Suggested articles should not be merged this page. They don't meet WP:Merge conditions: They don't have duplicate or major overlapping content with this article, are expandable and are not minor subjects. Merging would also be severe promotion of regional bias. Julius Sahara ( talk) 07:17, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Since no reply has been made to this in a few weeks, i have re-redirected the pages-- Jac16888 ( talk) 05:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
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 - [1] 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: [2] 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. Centrepull ( talk) 06:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Alot of African Hip Hop acts are Highly talented but none except for maybe K'naan have made waves internationally, what can be done to overcome this boundary?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigholsteez ( talk • contribs) 08:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
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.

Saw no response here and have removed dead and mirror links from the general links section. There is a misleading link present in the form of "africahit.com", this site is an amalgam of soccer(football), politics and music. This isn't a Hip Hop site at it's core. I suggest removing it. Objections?
