When I made my new chart, I was actually thinking of making a Hip-Hop/Rap chart instead of an Indie one. But I didn't think that'd go over very well on here 🫢 _________________ Doubles & Conch
Why do you have a dance/pop album in your hip-hop list? :P
Ugh. 🤡 Hate when people say that about M.I.A.
K, yes, she has electronic drums, world-music influence and a dance-y feel, but she IS a hip-hop artist. Same goes for my note about Lauryn Hill.
Kala is almost entirely hip-hop. It might not be the 'Gangsta rap' of Biggie or GZA, but that doesn't make it not a hip-hop album.
"The alternative hip hop movement is not limited only to the United States, as rappers such as Somali-Canadian poet K'naan, Japanese rapper Shing02, and Sri Lankan British artist M.I.A. have achieved considerable worldwide recognition" - Wikipedia's Hip-Hop definition.
