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.
- Hip hop did not originate as a form of "Black music", but was invented by African Americans. As a result, it is perfectly logical that it began in the US and then spread to the rest of the world. Tuf-Kat 02:44, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)
