This page[edit]

needs a lot of work, and a lock to prevent vandalism. Bigarlo609 (talk) 20:06, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the worst article I've read on wikipedia in months. 216.141.226.217 (talk) 00:54, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Atlanta hip-hop" is not a genre[edit]

This is hardly a topic that needs a page dedicated to itself. It doesn't go into depth of describing any particular style of music but just name drops artists from the local scene. Is there a Wikipedia article for hip hop of every major city in the nation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.125.141.180 (talk) 16:22, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lil Yachty addition unsourced, grammatical errors[edit]

The section about Lil Yachty just doesn't read right to me. The wording makes it feel biased to me and there are no sources cited. For example,

"Atlanta artists, most notably Lil Yachty have capitalized on internet to make their name."

"have capitalized on internet", I mean come on. Not to mention the lack of an additional comma after "Lil Yachty". Almost the whole paragraph is just ego-stroking in my opinion. I've never really edited any wiki articles or even posted to a talk page so I'm not about to go messing around based off of my personal feelings. That one sentence is objectively grammatically incorrect though; it should say "the internet" at least. 2600:6C5A:567F:FEB0:493B:FB75:18A2:849B (talk) 11:48, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Magic City[edit]

In case anyone cares, Atlanta's Magic City strip club could be mentioned in this article. Some quotes. It is a "legendary strip club that should be familiar to anyone who knows anything about rap music",[1] it is "largely responsible for launching the careers of artists like Future and Migos. (Future’s tour DJ, DJ Esco, still works at Magic City when he’s not on tour.)",[2] and it "runs the music industry".[3] There is a well-documented connection between Atlanta hip hop and Magic City. --77.173.90.33 (talk) 21:13, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
