There is no topic here other than a List of rappers from the midwest United States. Certainly there is no established style of midwest hip hop: see the Denver source saying "artists from the Midwest have succeeded each with their own unique style and flavor". Chopper (rap) is from the Midwest, but the Midwest is not all chopper. There is no defining style of Midwest rap music except the geography of origin. I suggest creating a list of hip hop artists from this geography. Binksternet ( talk) 19:00, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
I have edited the introduction to make it more than just s list of subgenres. There's more sources on it than east coast hip hop and an explanation that there's a bias towards midwest hip hop not being a real genre. Complexity or being nebulous doesn't mean it's not a genre as IDM demonstrates. IDM is a nebulous genre with very minimal defining characteristics that even its creators reject as a label and argue isn't a real genre. Same with progressive music. Just like midwest hip hop. If were deleting midwest hip hop based off citations then we should delete east coast hip hop which has way less citations, progressive music and the IDM pages to by this logic. I even explained the distinct influences and lyricism in general for it. I've added sources explaining why it's a genre in and of itself as well as demonstrating the overlap between subregions sounds. At least a few of them. Synthesis is based on sources and patterns it reveals. This is not original research since the citations justify these conclusions. The entire explanation for why it is in the introduction is not entirely synthesis. Many parts are just stating exactly what those articles say. even then extrapolating based on patterns of data from cited sources is not original research that would violate Wikipedia's synthesis policy. A loosely connected genre is still a genre. I have sources that clearly demonstrate there are connecting characteristics between subregions sounds that make it a genre even if those could be considered subgenres of this genre. Umbrella terms as shown by the other articles I mentioned can be genres if there's a minimal set of characteristics. This page thus should be seen as a page needing improvement and based off this it shouldn't be deleted based of wikipedia's own deletion standard. Matsuiny2004 ( talk) 19:25, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
