Category:Hip hop emcees Redundant to Category:Rappers where it should be moved. --Spellcast (talk) 10:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Not sure. The one person I categorized there - Gabriel Teodros - I wouldn't necessarily classify as a "rapper". He works in a hip-hop context, but his flow is not typical of rap. But I wouldn't necessarily mind a merge, as long as we keep a {{Seecat}}. - Jmabel ! talk 15:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC) I know what you mean with his style of delivery. But rapping is simply defined as talking rhythmically over a beat, which is essentially what he does. Spellcast (talk) 16:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC) That seems like a terribly broad definition of rapping. By that standard, Lou Reed is a rapper. - Jmabel ! talk 05:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC) If we tweak the definition to the "rhythmic spoken delivery of rhymes and wordplay", he would still fall under that category. Google "gabriel teodros rapper" and many reliable sources like music reviews and news articles refer to him as a rapper. Sure, he's more "soulful" than your average rapper, but he's still one nonetheless. Anyway, I agree a {{seecat}} would be a good option. Spellcast (talk) 16:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC) Been over a month; you and I seem to be the only ones weighing in and we have a consensus, I'll just go for it. - Jmabel ! talk 20:43, 25 August 2008 (UTC) Closed as a category redirect. --Kanonkas(talk) 20:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

What is the difference between category:Rappers and category:Female or male hip hop musicians? --Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 10:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Plenty of hip-hop musicians aren't rappers. Turntablists, for starters, but also a lot of hip-hop groups these days use conventional instruments as well. - Jmabel ! talk 18:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
